Find the normalized eigenspinors of the 2 x 2 matrix

[warwick]

I'm not sure how to solve for the + eigenspinor.

Sorry for the poor quality.

What is the definition and characteristics of the eigenspinors?

The eigenstates of a spin operator are represented by eigenspinors. One useful characteristic is u^2 + v^2 = = 1. I've already used this method for a previous problem. However, the equations were a bit more straightforward.

First - you need to find the eigenvectors.

That's my problem. I started it but didn't come up with anything useful, or pretty.
