Using an invariant operator in the enveloping algebra of SIM ({ital d}{minus}1,1) (the similitude subgroup of the conformal group in {ital d} dimensions), conformal invariance, and the recent result for the eigenvalue of a generalized helicity'' operator, the eigenvalue of massless fields under scale transformations is computed in higher even dimensions.
