Idea

In physics, the matrix representing a bilinear form on a real spin representation, i.e. on Majorana spinors is also called the charge conjugation matrix on spinors.

For details see at Majorana spinor – Charge conjugation matrix.

References

The abstract relation to bilinear forms on spinors is commented on for instance around (3.4) of
