The Consequences of the Charge for the Mass of the Elementary Particles

TL;DR

This paper explores how adding electric charge to muons and pions affects their rest mass and internal structure, revealing that charge addition influences their energy and lattice configuration without increasing their rest mass.

Contribution

It introduces a model where electric charge alters the lattice structure of particles, impacting their stability and mass without adding energy to their rest mass.

Findings

Adding charge decreases particle energy via binding energy.

Charge transforms lattice structure from simple cubic to face-centered cubic.

Charge addition does not increase the rest mass of particles.

Abstract

We study the consequences which the presence of an elementary electric charge in mu^(+-) and pi^(+-) has for the rest mass of mu^(+-) and pi^(+-). The addition of the electric charges e^(+-) to the massive neutral bodies of these particles does not increase the energy in the rest mass of the muon and pion, but rather decreases their energy by the binding energy of the electric charge to the neutral bodies of the muon and pion. The addition of a charge to the neutral neutrino lattices of the muon or pion changes the simple cubic lattices of the neutral particles to face-centered cubic lattices of the charged particles, which is essential for the stability of the particles.
