Mesons Modeled Using Only Electrons and Positrons with Relativistic Onium Theory Ray Fleming [email protected]
All mesons modeled using only electrons and positrons with relativistic onium theory Ray Fleming [email protected] All mesons were investigated to determine if they can be modeled with the onium model discovered by Milne, Feynman, and Sternglass with only electrons and positrons. They discovered the relativistic positronium solution has the mass of a neutral pion and the relativistic onium mass increases in steps of me/α and me/2α per particle which is consistent with known mass quantization. Any pair of particles or resonances can orbit relativistically and particles and resonances can collocate to form increasingly complex resonances. Pions are positronium, kaons are pionium, D mesons are kaonium, and B mesons are Donium in the onium model. Baryons, which are addressed in another paper, have a non-relativistic nucleon combined with mesons. The results of this meson analysis shows that the compo- sition, charge, and mass of all mesons can be accurately modeled. Of the 220 mesons mod- eled, 170 mass estimates are within 5 MeV/c2 and masses of 111 of 121 D, B, charmonium, and bottomonium mesons are estimated to within 0.2% relative error. Since all mesons can be modeled using only electrons and positrons, quarks and quark theory are unnecessary. 1. Introduction 2. Method This paper is a report on an investigation to find Sternglass and Browne realized that a neutral pion whether mesons can be modeled as combinations of (π0), as a relativistic electron-positron pair, can orbit a only electrons and positrons using onium theory. A non-relativistic particle or resonance in what Browne companion paper on baryons is also available. -

Ions, Protons, and Photons As Signatures of Monopoles
universe Article Ions, Protons, and Photons as Signatures of Monopoles Vicente Vento Departamento de Física Teórica-IFIC, Universidad de Valencia-CSIC, 46100 Burjassot (Valencia), Spain; [email protected] Received: 8 October 2018; Accepted: 1 November 2018; Published: 7 November 2018 Abstract: Magnetic monopoles have been a subject of interest since Dirac established the relationship between the existence of monopoles and charge quantization. The Dirac quantization condition bestows the monopole with a huge magnetic charge. The aim of this study was to determine whether this huge magnetic charge allows monopoles to be detected by the scattering of charged ions and protons on matter where they might be bound. We also analyze if this charge favors monopolium (monopole–antimonopole) annihilation into many photons over two photon decays. 1. Introduction The theoretical justification for the existence of classical magnetic poles, hereafter called monopoles, is that they add symmetry to Maxwell’s equations and explain charge quantization. Dirac showed that the mere existence of a monopole in the universe could offer an explanation of the discrete nature of the electric charge. His analysis leads to the Dirac Quantization Condition (DQC) [1,2] eg = N/2, N = 1, 2, ..., (1) where e is the electron charge, g the monopole magnetic charge, and we use natural units h¯ = c = 1 = 4p#0. Monopoles have been a subject of experimental interest since Dirac first proposed them in 1931. In Dirac’s formulation, monopoles are assumed to exist as point-like particles and quantum mechanical consistency conditions lead to establish the value of their magnetic charge. Because of of the large magnetic charge as a consequence of Equation (1), monopoles can bind in matter [3]. -

Kato is the collaborative effort of eight laboratories, in which we treat the hierarchy of matter from hadrons to biomolecules with three underlying and interconnected key concepts: interaction, excitation, and heterogeneity. The project consists of experimental research conducted using cutting-edge technologies, including lasers, signal processing and data acquisition, and particle beams at RIKEN RI Beam Factory (RIBF) and RIKEN Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL). • Physical and chemical views of matter lead to major discoveries Although this project is based on the physics and chemistry of non-living systems, we constantly keep all types of matter, including living matter, in our mind. The importance of analyzing matter from physical and chemical points of view was demonstrated in the case of DNA. The Watson-Crick model of DNA was developed based on the X-ray diffraction, which is a physical measurement. The key feature of this model is the hydrogen bonding that occurs between DNA base pairs. Watson and Crick learned about hydrogen bonding in the renowned book “The Nature of the Chemical Bond,” written by their competitor, L. -

In the analysis of hadron reactions and their propertieds I emphasize similarities to the nuclear many body problem. 1. Introduction The vast majority of nuclear phenomena can be understood using protons and neutrons as elementary constituents and the nonrelativistic interactions among them. On the other hand, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), which is the underlying theory of nuclear forces, describes the relativistic quarks and gluons as the fundamental degrees of freedom. -

Lecture 2 - Energy and Momentum
Lecture 2 - Energy and Momentum E. Daw February 16, 2012 1 Energy In discussing energy in a relativistic course, we start by consid- ering the behaviour of energy in the three regimes we worked with last time. In the first regime, the particle velocity v is much less than c, or more precisely β < 0:3. In this regime, the rest energy ER that the particle has by virtue of its non{zero rest mass is much greater than the kinetic energy T which it has by virtue of its kinetic energy. The rest energy is given by Einstein's famous equation, 2 ER = m0c (1) So, here is an example. An electron has a rest mass of 0:511 MeV=c2. What is it's rest energy?. The important thing here is to realise that there is no need to insert a factor of (3×108)2 to convert from rest mass in MeV=c2 to rest energy in MeV. The units are such that 0.511 is already an energy in MeV, and to get to a mass you would need to divide by c2, so the rest mass is (0:511 MeV)=c2, and all that is left to do is remove the brackets. If you divide by 9 × 1016 the answer is indeed a mass, but the units are eV m−2s2, and I'm sure you will appreciate why these units are horrible. Enough said about that. Now, what about kinetic energy? In the non{relativistic regime β < 0:3, the kinetic energy is significantly smaller than the rest 1 energy. -
Relativistic Particle Orbits
H. Kleinert, PATH INTEGRALS August 12, 2014 (/home/kleinert/kleinert/books/pathis/pthic19.tex) Agri non omnes frugiferi sunt Not all fields are fruitful Cicero (106 BC–43 BC), Tusc. Quaest., 2, 5, 13 19 Relativistic Particle Orbits Particles moving at large velocities near the speed of light are called relativistic particles. If such particles interact with each other or with an external potential, they exhibit quantum effects which cannot be described by fluctuations of a single particle orbit. Within short time intervals, additional particles or pairs of particles and antiparticles are created or annihilated, and the total number of particle orbits is no longer invariant. Ordinary quantum mechanics which always assumes a fixed number of particles cannot describe such processes. The associated path integral has the same problem since it is a sum over a given set of particle orbits. Thus, even if relativistic kinematics is properly incorporated, a path integral cannot yield an accurate description of relativistic particles. An extension becomes necessary which includes an arbitrary number of mutually linked and branching fluctuating orbits. Fortunately, there exists a more efficient way of dealing with relativistic particles. It is provided by quantum field theory. We have demonstrated in Section 7.14 that a grand-canonical ensemble of particle orbits can be described by a functional integral of a single fluctuating field. Branch points of newly created particle lines are accounted for by anharmonic terms in the field action. The calculation of their effects proceeds by perturbation theory which is systematically performed in terms of Feynman diagrams with calculation rules very similar to those in Section 3.18. -
Light and Heavy Mesons in the Complex Mass Scheme
MAXLA-2/19, “Meson” September 25, 2019 Light and Heavy Mesons in The Complex Mass Scheme Mikhail N. Sergeenko Fr. Skaryna Gomel State University, BY-246019, Gomel, BELARUS [email protected] Mesons containing light and heavy quarks are studied. Interaction of quarks is described by the funnel-type potential with the distant dependent strong cou- pling, αS(r). Free particle hypothesis for the bound state is developed: quark and antiquark move as free particles in of the bound system. Relativistic two- body wave equation with position dependent particle masses is used to describe the flavored Qq systems. Solution of the equation for the system in the form of a standing wave is given. Interpolating complex-mass formula for two exact asymptotic eigenmass expressions is obtained. Mass spectra for some leading- state flavored mesons are calculated.

INTRODUCTION Mesons are most numerous of hadrons in the Particle Data Group (PDG) tables [1]. They are simplest relativistic quark-antiquark systems in case of equal-mass quarks, but they are not simple if quarks’ masses are different. It is believed that physics of light and heavy mesons is different; this is true only in asymptotic limits of large and small distances. Most mesons listed in the PDG being unstable and are resonances, exited quark-antiquark states. -

They are typically composed of thousands of atoms or more. The most common macromolecules in biochemistry are biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids) and large non–polymeric molecules (such as lipids and macrocycles). Synthetic macromolecules include common plastics and synthetic fibers as well as experimental materials such as carbon nanotubes. Parameters such as FT –IR and Raman vibrational wavelengths and intensities for single crystal Nano polypeptide macromolecule are calculated using density functional theory and were compared with empirical results. The investigation about vibrational spectrum of cycle dimers in crystal with carboxyl groups from each molecule of acid was shown that it leads to create Hydrogen bonds for adjacent molecules. The current study aimed to investigate the possibility of simulating the empirical values. Analysis of vibrational spectrum of Nano polypeptide macromolecule is performed based on theoretical simulation and FT–IR empirical spectrum and Raman empirical spectrum using density functional theory in levels of HF/6–31G*, HF/6–31++G**, MP2/6–31G, MP2/6– 31++G**, BLYP/6–31G, BLYP/6–31++G**, B3LYP/6–31G and B3LYP6–31–HEG**. -
