At hadron colliders invisible particles $\chi$ can be inferred only through observation of the transverse component of the vectorial sum of their momenta -- missing $E_T$ or MET -- preventing reconstruction of the masses of their mother…
An ansatz for mass matrix was recently proposed for charged leptons, predicting (in its diagonal approximation) $m_\tau\simeq1776.80$ MeV from the experimental values of $m_e$ and $m_\mu$, in agreement with $m_\tau^{exp}=…
