Systematics of oscillatory behavior in hadronic masses and widths

TL;DR

This paper identifies regular oscillations in hadronic masses and widths, revealing a pattern that can be modeled with a cosine function, suggesting underlying systematic behavior in hadron properties.

Contribution

It introduces a novel systematic analysis of hadron mass and width oscillations, demonstrating their regularity and providing a simple cosine fit to describe these patterns.

Findings

Oscillations in hadron masses and widths are observed.

A cosine function effectively models the oscillatory behavior.

Regular patterns emerge when plotting mass differences versus mean mass.

Abstract

A systematic study of hadron masses and widths shows regular oscillations that can be fitted by a simple cosine function. This property can be observed when the difference between adjacent masses of each family is plotted versus the mean mass.
