Abstract
A positroniumlike, relativistic electron-pair model previously found to describe the properties of the pion and hadron resonances is tested for its prediction of the hadron-to-muon production ratioR in high-energye + e − collisions. It is found that the model leads to the observed magnitude ofR and its stepwise increase with energy. The model predicts a series of further rises ofR as the available energy is increased, beginning at about 7.9 Gev.
