An overview of the theory and phenomenology of hadrons and QCD is provided from a Dyson-Schwinger equation viewpoint. Following a discussion of the definition and realisation of light-quark confinement, the nonperturbative nature of the…
This Resource Letter provides a guide to literature on the Standard Model of elementary particles and possible extensions. In the successful theory of quarks and leptons and their interactions, important questions remain, such as the…
Starting from the multi-local Klein-Gordon equations with Lorentz-scalar squared-mass operator we give a covariant quark representation of the general composite mesons and baryons with definite Lorentz transformation property. The mass…
It was found that the isoscalar-scalar and isovector-scalar mesons play significant roles in nuclear matter physics. However, the underlying structures of these resonances are not yet well understood. We construct a three-flavor baryonic…
We propose a realistic A4 extension of the Standard Model involving a particular quark-lepton mass relation, namely that the ratio of the third family mass to the geometric mean of the first and second family masses are equal for down-type…
The symmetry between quarks and leptons suggests that neutrinos should have mass. As embodied in the grand unified theory SO(10) this yields masses that can only be detected by neutrino oscillations. Such oscillations could be very…
The importance of the mass spectroscopy of the superparticles is emphasized. It will be shown that the gauge coupling constants give us information on the GUT-scale mass spectrum once the superparticle masses are known. The gaugino masses…
A suggestive phenomenological relation is found among the lepton and quark masses which suggests a new insight into the problem of generations and also gives a prediction for the top quark mass in agreement with the range of values which is…
This study explores the age-old quest to construct a geometric model of a quantum particle. While static classical particle models have largely been dismissed, the focus has now shifted to intricate dynamic models that hold the promise of…
Basing on the formalism of generalized Dirac equation introduced by the author already many years ago, we suggest a model of formal intrinsic interactions within leptons and quarks of three generations. In this model, the leptons and quarks…
We consider a recent successful model of leptons as Kerr-Newman type Black Holes in a Quantum Mechanical context. The model leads to a cosmology which predicts an ever expanding accelerating universe with decreasing density and to the…
The corrections to the current algebra mass formulae for the pseudoscalar mesons are analyzed by means of a simultaneous exansion in powers of the light quark masses and powers of 1/N. A set of mass formulae is derived, including an…
We calculate masses of light and heavy mesons as well as baryons of negative parity containing $u,d,s,c$ and $b$ quarks. It is an extension of our previous work where we had studied the positive parity baryons. We adopt a quark-diquark…
The measurements of the neutrino and quark mixing angles satisfy the empirical relations called Quark-Lepton Complementarity. These empirical relations suggest the existence of a correlation between the mixing matrices of leptons and…
The charged fermion masses of the three generations exhibit the two strong hierarchies m_3 >> m_2 >> m_1. We assume that also neutrino masses satisfy m_{nu 3} > m_{nu 2} > m_{nu 1} and derive the consequences of the hierarchical spectra on…
A model is presented that fits the quark and lepton masses and mixings wherein five dimensionless parameters and a phase account for fifteen dimensionless observables. Among these are the Wolfenstein parameters $\rho$ and $\eta$, the…
Recently, formulas for the mixing matrices of quarks and leptons have been put forward. My contribution here describes the relevant foundational and technical aspects which have led to those results. The work has been carried out in the…
Instead of right-handed neutrino singlets, the standard model is extended to include lepton triplets $(\Sigma^+, \Sigma^0, \Sigma^-)$. Each quark and lepton family may now transform under an anomaly-free $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry, known…
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…
In order to get a more realistic description of the hadron spectrum we extend a constituent-quark model by explicit mesonic degrees of freedom. The resulting system of constituent (anti)quarks, which are subject to an instantaneous…
