In a model where a multiverse wavefunction explores a multitude of vacua with different symmetries and parameters, properties of universes closely related to ours can be understood by examining the consequences of small departures of…
We propose a generalization of Claudel, Virbhadra, and Ellis photon surfaces to the case of massive charged particles, considering a timelike hypersurface such that any worldline of a particle with mass $m$, electric charge $q$ and fixed…
The study on the linkage of elementary particle mass differences with pion-muon mass difference is explored further. In the present study we show this linkage to be equally true for the mass differences amongst the members of SU(3) hadron…
Matter has two physical properties: Inertia and interaction. If we define the center of mass of an elementary particle in relation to its inertia, and a center of interaction in relation to its interactive properties, there are only two…
This report provides an alternative to the Standard Model of particle physics. The model described here is based on results from Quantum Field Mechanics, according to which all fundamental particles and interactions originate from the…
Extension of particle symmetry implies new conserved charges and the lightest particles, possessing such charges, should be stable. Created in early Universe, stable charged heavy leptons and quarks can exist and, hidden in elusive atoms…
A possible original $SU(2)_{L} \times SU(2)_{R}$ symmetry of the elementary particles and the mechanism of its breaking is discussed. It is concluded that it is the broken symmetry states of the particles which induce the interactions among…
We try to understand how particles acquire mass in general, and in particular, how they acquire mass in the standard model and beyond.
Attempts at an electromagnetic explanation of the inertial mass of charged particles have recently been revived within the framework of Stochastic Electrodynamics, characterized by the adoption of a classical version of the electromagnetic…
The fermion electromagnetic mass has been evaluated in 3-dimensional electrodynamics in the first nonvanishing order of N^-1 approximation (N is the number of the fermions in the model). It is established, that, if one proceeds from the…
Neutrinos are the least known particle in the Standard Model of elementary particle physics. They play a crucial role in cosmology, governing the universe's evolution and shaping the large-scale structures we observe today. In this chapter,…
In this paper I developed a classical model of elementary particle that is associated with a membrane of finite size, surrounded by non-linear electromagnetic field. The form of local interaction which lead to bounded states of finite…
Mass is an important concept in classical mechanics, which regards a particle as a corpuscular object. But according to wave-particle duality, we know a free particle can behave like a wave. Is there a wave property that corresponds to the…
All leptons, quarks, and gauge bosons can be placed in the periodic table of elementary particles. As the periodic table of elements derived from atomic orbital, the periodic table of elementary particles is derived from the two sets of…
Despite being very successful in explaining the wide range of precision experimental results obtained so far, the Standard Model (SM) of elementary particles fails to address two of the greatest observations of the recent decades: tiny but…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) claims that the major source of the nucleon invariant mass is not the Higgs mechanism but the trace anomaly in QCD energy momentum tensor. Although experimental and theoretical results support such conclusion, a…
The formulation of quantum theory does not comply with the notion of objective existence of elementary particles. Objective existence independent of observation implies the distinguishability of elementary particles. In other words: If…
Most of what is known about neutrino masses and mixings results from studies of oscillation phenomena. We focus on those neutrino properties that are not amenable to such studies: $\Sigma $, the sum of the absolute values of the neutrino…
Elementary Cycles Theory is a self-consistent, unified formulation of quantum and relativistic physics. Here we introduce its basic quantum aspects. On one hand, Newton's law of inertia states that every isolated particle has persistent…
Using a simple three dimensional lattice four-fermion model we argue that massless fermions can become massive due to interactions without the need for any spontaneous symmetry breaking. Using large scale Monte Carlo calculations within our…
