Abstract

From the well-known decays of the particles follows that the mesons and baryons consist of a γ\gamma-branch and a neutrino branch. From the well-known masses of the particles follows that the masses of the γ\gamma-branch particles are integer multiples of the mass of the π0\pi^0 meson, within 3%, in spite of differences in spin, isospin, strangeness and charm. The average factor in front of the integer multiples of m(π0)m(\pi^0) of the γ\gamma-branch particles is 1.0073±0.01841.0073 \pm 0.0184. The masses of the ν\nu-branch particles are integer multiples of the mass of the π±\pi^\pm mesons, times a factor 0.86±0.020.86 \pm 0.02. The existence of the integer multiple rule can be verified from the Particle Physics Summary using a calculator.
