Abstract
We prove a theorem stating that a massive Majorana particle (a -self-conjugate particle) with arbitrary spin can possess only an anapole moment and multipoles of that. We also show that massless Majorana particles, except those of spin ½, do not have any single-photon electromagnetic form factor.
