Proton-antiproton collisions and the W±-particle from general relativity

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

In this note, a mass spectrum is derived qualitatively from general relativity, for the boson fields that play the role of transferring energy-momentum between the spinor matter components in the elementary-particle domain. The theory is shown to formally relate to the nonzero inertial mass aspect of a fused electromagnetic weak interaction in terms of (previously derived) processes, and to possibly relate to the recently observed W±-particle from p{ie17-1} collisions.
