We give a mass formula for computing the mass spectrum of mesons. By this formula we show that there are many mesons with their masses corresponding to a prime number. In particular we show that all strange mesons are with their masses…
An elementary constituent-quark (CQ) model of mesons was previously presented. In this paper, we continue research into a study of the baryons in the constituent-quark model. Mac Gregor proposed a comprehensive model of elementary particles…
We propose a gauge model of quantum electrodynamics (QED) and its nonabelian generalization from which we derive knot invariants such as the Jones polynomial. Our approach is inspired by the work of Witten who derived knot invariants from…
We investigate the exclusive proton-induced $K^+$ production near the kaon threshold. Compared are two models: a meson-exchange model, which includes $\pi$, \rho$, $K$ and $K^\ast$ exchange, together with the dominant baryon resonances, and…
We explore a knot model of the elementary particles that is compatible with electroweak physics. The knots are quantized and their kinematic states are labelled by $D^j_{mm'}$, irreducible representations of $SU_q(2)$, where j = N/2, m =…
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…
Using phenomenological formulae, we deduce the masses and quantum numbers of the quarks from two elementary quarks ($\epsilon_{u}$ and $\epsilon_{d}$) first. Then using the sum laws and a binding energy formula, in terms of the qqq baryon…
In this paper we propose a quantum gauge system from which we construct generalized Wilson loops which will be as quantum knots. From quantum knots we give a classification table of knots where knots are one-to-one assigned with an integer…
We investigate the exclusive production of the pseudoscalar mesons pi0, eta, eta', K+ and of the vector mesons omega, phi in a microscopic gluon-exchange or instanton model. We describe the baryons as covariant quark - scalar diquark…
Quantum Hadrodynamics provides a useful framework for investigating dense matter, yet it breaks down easily when strangeness carrying baryons are introduced into the calculations, as the baryon effective masses become negative due to large…
The flavor problem and the baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) are addressed simultaneously within a supersymmetric preon model. Standard Model fermions are three-body composites of preons confined at Lambda_cr ~ 10^14 GeV by a…
The quark mean-field (QMF) model is applied to study the single $\Lambda^+_c$ hypernuclei. The charm baryon, $\Lambda^+_c$, is constructed by three constituent quarks, $u, ~d$, and $c$, confined by central harmonic oscillator potentials.…
We investigate the $pp \to pK^{+}\Lambda$ reaction within an effective Lagrangian model where the contributions to the amplitudes are taken into account within the tree level. The initial interaction between the two nucleons is modeled by…
It is proposed that meson resonances are linear combinations of q-qbar and meson-meson (MM); baryon resonances are combinations of qqq and meson-baryon (MB). Mixing between these combinations arises via decays of confined states to…
There are two mass generating mechanisms in the standard model of particle physics (SM). One is related to the Higgs boson and fairly well understood. The other is embedded in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the SM's strong interaction piece;…

Only photons are needed to explain the masses of the pi(0), eta, Lambda, Sigma(0), Xi(0), Omega(-), Lambda(c,+), Sigma(c,0), Xi(c,0), and Omega(c,0) mesons and baryons. Only neutrinos are needed to explain the mass of the pi(+-) mesons.…
A nuclear model is proposed where the nucleons interact by emitting and absorbing mesons, and where the mesons are treated explicitly. A nucleus in this model finds itself in a quantum superposition of states with different number of…
A fermion-boson-type composite model for quarks and leptons is proposed. Elementary fields are only one kind of spin-1/2 and spin-0 preon. Both are in the global supersymmetric pair with the common electric charge of e/6 and belong to the…
The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both infinite nuclear matter and finite nuclei, is applied to a systematic study of $\Lambda, \Sigma$ and $\Xi$ hypernuclei. Assumptions…
