Based on a new approach to quark and lepton masses, where the mass spectra originate in vacuum expectation values of O(3)-flavor 1+5 (gauge singlet) scalars, a neutrino mass matrix of a new type is speculated. The mass matrix is described…
The mass spectrum of heavy pseudoscalar mesons, described as quark-antiquark bound systems, is considered within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism with momentum dependent masses of the constituents. This dependence is found by solving the…
The often used Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner mass formula for Nambu-Goldstone (NG) bosons in QCD, such as the pions, involves the condensate $<\overline{q}q>$, $f_{\pi}$ and the quark current masses. Within the context of the Global Colour Model…

We evaluate the pseudoscalar-meson octet-baryon coupling constants and the corresponding axial charges in eight channels ($\pi N\N$, $\pi\Sigma\Sigma$, $\pi\Lambda\Sigma$, $K\Lambda N$, $K \Sigma N $, $\pi\Xi\Xi$, $K\Lambda\Xi$ and…
From only two elementary quarks ($\epsilon_{u}(0) $ and $\epsilon_{d}(0)) $ and the symmetries of the regular rhombic dodecahedron, using phenomenological formulae, we deduced the rest masses and the intrinsic quantum numbers (I, S, C, b…
We present an overall empirical formula that, after specification of its free parameters, describes precisely the mass spectrum of charged leptons and is suggested to reproduce correctly also the mass spectra of neutrinos and up and down…
The D-and F-wave quark-quark amplitudes are constructed in the framework of the dispersion N/D-method. The mass values of meson multiplets with $J^{PC}=1^{--},2^{--},2^{-+},3^{--}$ and $J^{PC}=2^{++},3^{++},3^{+-},4^{++}$ are calculated.…
This review of the quark-level linear \sigma model is based upon the dynamical realization of the pseudoscalar and scalar mesons as a linear representation of SU(2) x SU(2) chiral symmetry, with the symmetry weakly broken by current quark…

A non-supersymmetric grand unified theory can exhibit a "radiative fermion mass hierarchy", in which the heavier quarks and leptons get mass at tree level and the lighter ones get mass from loop diagrams. Recently the first predictive model…
We derive empirical relationships among elementary fermion masses based on relatively simple exponential formulae involving quantum numbers for the electromagnetic and strong interactions, with a weak correction factor motivated by a simple…
By analogy with an effective model of charged-lepton mass matrix that, with the inputs of $m^{exp}_e $ and $m^{exp}_\mu$, predicts (in a perturbative zero order) $m_\tau = 1776.80 $ MeV close to $m^{exp}_\tau = 1777.03^{+0.30}_{-0.26}$ MeV,…
Similarly to the electromagnetic pseudoscalar-meson transition form factors one can define also strange-quark vector current pseudoscalar-meson transition form factors, contributing only to a behaviour of the isoscalar parts of the previous…
A compsite model of quarks and leptons is proposed. The quarks and leptons are given by three body states which are composed of constituents $(w_1, w_2, c_1, c_2, c_3)$ of SU(5)$_{flavor}$ and $(f_1, f_2, f_3)$ of SU(3)$_{family}$
