I failed to find any book or pdf that explains clearly how we can interpret the different components of a Dirac spinor in the chiral representation and I'm starting to get somewhat desperate. This is such a basic/fundamental topic that I'm really unsure why I can't find anything that explains this concretely. Any book tip, reading recommendation or explanation would be greatly appreciated!
A Dirac spinor is a composite object of two Weyl spinors
\begin{equation} \Psi = \begin{pmatrix} \chi_L \\ \xi_R \end{pmatrix} ,\end{equation}
where in general $\chi \neq \xi$. A special case called Majorana spinor is $\chi=\xi$. The charge conjugated spinor is
\begin{equation} \Psi^c = \begin{pmatrix} \xi_L \\ \chi_R \end{pmatrix} . \end{equation}
I want to understand how $\xi_L, \xi_R, \chi_L$ and $\chi_R $, can be interpreted in terms of how they describe particles/antiparticles of a given helicity?
Some Background:
The corresponding equations of motion are
\begin{equation} \big ( (\gamma_\mu (i\partial^\mu+ g A^\mu ) - m \big )\Psi^c = 0, \end{equation}
\begin{equation} \big ( (\gamma_\mu (i\partial^\mu- g A^\mu ) - m \big )\Psi = 0, \end{equation} where we can see where the notion charge conjugation comes from. These equations can be rewritten in terms of the Weyl spinors:
\begin{equation} (i\partial^\mu- g A^\mu ) \begin{pmatrix} \sigma_\mu \xi_R \\ \bar{\sigma}_\mu \chi_L \end{pmatrix} = m \begin{pmatrix} \chi_L \\ \xi_R \end{pmatrix} \end{equation} \begin{equation} (i\partial^\mu+ g A^\mu ) \begin{pmatrix} \sigma_\mu \chi_R \\ \bar{\sigma}_\mu \xi_L \end{pmatrix} = m \begin{pmatrix} \xi_L \\ \chi_R \end{pmatrix} \end{equation}
The charge conjugation transformation, shows that we have in principle $\chi \leftrightarrow \xi$ (as claimed for example here), which we can maybe interpret as $\chi$ and $\xi$ having opposite charge, i.e. describing particle and anti-particle (which I read in some texts without any good arguments). What bothers me about this point of view is that if we have a purely left-handed Dirac spinor
\begin{equation} \Psi_L = \begin{pmatrix} \chi_L \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} ,\end{equation} the charge conjugated spinor is
\begin{equation} \Psi_L^c = i \gamma_2 \Psi_L = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ - i \sigma_2 \chi_L \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ \chi_R \end{pmatrix} .\end{equation} This tells us that the charge conjugate of a left-handed spinor $\chi_L$, is the right-handed $\chi_R$ and not $\xi_R$.
A different point of view is explained in this Stackexchange answer. I would be interested in how we concretely can identify Electron and Positron states from the solutions of the Dirac equation (,as recited above)? I think an attempt to explain this can be found here, but I'm unable to understand it with all the math missing. It would be awesome if someone would know some text that explains these matters as they are claimed in the post by Flip Tanedo, but with the math added.
