Abstract
We shall present some example and applications of spinor theories both for commuting and anticommuting spinors. The ordinary Dirac theory, the massless neutrino theory as well as the Wess-Zumino model which deals with Majorana anticommuting spinors.
The reader should be familiar with the material of Chapter 7 (gauge natural theories) and Chapter 9 (spin frames).
