Some phenomenological aspects of a supersymmetric model for fermion mass hierarchy proposed previously are discussed. It is required that the lepton universality violation is near to its current experimental bound. The lepton number…
We consider the mass generation for the usual quarks and leptons in some supersymmetric models. The masses of the top, the bottom, the charm, the tau and the muon are given at the tree level. All the other quarks and the electron get their…
We assume a triple geometric structure for the electromagnetic nuclear interaction. This nuclear electromagnetism is used to calculate the binding energies of the deuteron and the neutron. The corresponding Pauli quantum wave equation in a…
Electromagnetic effects in the leptonic decay rates $\pi^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ and $K^+ \to \mu^+ \nu$ are evaluated for the first time on the lattice. Following a method recently proposed in Ref. [1] the emission of virtual photons at leading…
One of the key assumptions of the Standard Model of fundamental particles is that the interactions of the charged leptons, namely electrons, muons, and taus, differ only because of their different masses. While precision tests comparing…
We calculate the matrix elements of the gluonic contributions to the energy-momentum tensor for a pion of mass 600 < Mpi < 1100 MeV in quenched lattice QCD. We find that gluons contribute (37 +/- 8 +/- 12)% of the pion's light cone…
We study the net dielectron production rates from an ensemble of thermal mesons, using an effective Lagrangian to model their interaction. The coupling between the electromagnetic and the hadronic sectors is done through the vector meson…
Within the scenario of chiral freedom we compute the quark and lepton masses of the first two generations in terms of their chiral couplings. This allows us to make a rough estimate of the size of the chiral couplings, narrowing down the…
It is shown that almost all features of the quark and lepton masses can be satisfactorily and simply explained without family symmetry, including the threefold mass hierarchy among the generations, and the relations $m_{\tau}^0 = m_b^0$,…
A search for compositeness of electrons and muons is presented using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 8 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated…
A previously proposed geometric definition of mass in terms of energy, in a geometrical unified theory, is used to obtain a numerical expression for a ratio of masses of geometrical excitations. The resultant geometric ratio is…
Lepton mass effects play a decisive role in description of elastic lepton-proton scattering when the beam's energy is comparable to the mass of the lepton. The future MUSE experiment, which is devised to solve the "Proton Radius Puzzle", is…
We calculate the total cross sections and probabilities of electromagnetic productions of electron, muon and tauon pair productions simultaneously. At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the available electromagnetic energy is sufficient to…
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…
We systematically study the possibility for realizing realistic values of lepton mass ratios and mixing angles by using only renormalizable Yukawa couplings derived from heterotic $Z_6$-I orbifold. We assume one pair of up and down sector…
We calculate the baryon octet masses to fourth order in chiral perturbation theory employing dimensional and cut-off regularization. We analyze the pion and kaon mass dependences of the baryon masses based on the MILC data. We show that…
New data from neutrino oscillation experiments motivate us to extend a successful mass relation for the charged leptons to the other fundamental fermions. This new universal relation requires a Dirac mass around 3 10^-2 eV for the lightest…
We present an extension $U(1)_{X}$ to the Standard Model that reproduces the lepton mass structures determined by the experiments. In the charged sector, we introduced effective operators of dimension $n = 7$ to generate the mass of the…
An extension of the Standard Model to the local gauge group SU(3)_c X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X as a family independent model is presented. The mass scales, the gauge boson masses and the masses for the spin 1/2 particles in the model are studied.…
We calculate quark and lepton masses and quark mixing angles in the framework of a supersymmetric SU(4)$\otimes$SU(2)$_L\otimes$SU(2)$_R$ model where the gauge group is broken at 10$^{16}$ GeV. The model predicts third family top-bottom-tau…
