Using the interquark potential we obtain a formula for the mass spectrum of elementary particles. The simple formula gives the masses of all known elementary particles with an error of about three percent or less. This includes the recently discovered Ds(2317) and 1.5GeV Pentaquark particles. One of the problems that has eluded a solution is that of a mass spectrum for elementary particles. Suc...

1. Abstract The most fundamental to the elementary particle is the mass they posses and it would be of importance to explore a possible relationship amongst their masses. Here, an attempt is made to investigate this important aspect irrespective of their nature or scheme of classification. We show that there exists a striking tendency for successive mass differences between elementary particles...

Unless flavour symmetries are assumed, particle masses and mixings are generally undetermined in gauge theories. Understanding mass and mixing constitutes one of the biggest challenges in elementary particle physics. Current observations do not determine all elements of the effective neutrino mass matrix Mν completely and this will be a great challenge even for future experiments. Therefore the...

We propose a derivation of the empirical Weinberg relation for the mass of an elementary particle and in an inflationary type of universe. Our derivation produces the standard well known Weinberg relation for the mass of an elementary particle, along with an extra term which depends on the inflationary potential, as well as Hubble’s constant. The derivation is based on Zeldovich’s result for th...

The Higgs particle is a new elementary particle predicted in the Standard Model of the elementary particle physics. It plays a special role in the theory of mass generation of quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons. In this article, theoretical issues on the Higgs mechanism are first discussed, and then experimental prospects on the Higgs particle study at the future collider experiments, LHC and IL...

In the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, neutrinos play a special role among the fermions: neutrinos are exactly massless and neutrinos only appear as left-handed fermions. On the one hand, oscillation experiments suggest non-vanishing neutrino masses [1, 2] which at least have to be in the sub-eV regime. On the other hand, masses of righthanded neutrinos are unconstrained by the s...

The eigenvalue problem for the square integrable solutions is studied usually for elliptic equations. In this note we consider such a problem for the hyperbolic KleinGordon equation on Lorentzian manifolds. The investigation could help to answer the question why elementary particles have a discrete mass spectrum. An infinite family of square integrable solutions for the Klein-Gordon equation on...

The mass-generation mechanism is the most urgent problem of the modern particle physics. The discovery and study of the Higgs boson with the Large Hadron Collider at CERN are the highest priority steps to solve the problem. In this paper, the Standard Model Higgs mechanism of the elementary particle mass generation is reviewed with pedagogical details. The discussion of the Higgs quadric self-c...

Neutrino oscillations with three families of leptons are described with the help of a unitary neutrino mixing matrix U in analogy to the Standard Model quark mixing with the CKM matrix. If U contains a nontrivial phase and if all three neutrino mass eigenstates have a different mass, there will be CP-and T-violating asymmetries at distances L which are large compared to E/D 2 , where D 2 is the...
