| Helicity is an important experimental observable, which describes the projection of the [[basic_notions:spin|spin]] onto the direction of the momentum. Moreover, there is a close connection to the more fundamental concept [[advanced_notions:chirality|chirality]], because for massless particles the chirality and helicity are the same. | Helicity is an important experimental observable, which describes the projection of the [[basic_notions:spin|spin]] onto the direction of the momentum.
