Mass generation via gravitational confinement of fast neutrinos

TL;DR

This paper proposes that ultrarelativistic neutrinos can generate strong gravitational forces comparable to the strong nuclear force, potentially explaining the mass of hadrons and bosons through gravitational confinement.

Contribution

It introduces a model where relativistic neutrinos produce strong gravitational attraction, leading to mass generation of particles without adjustable parameters.

Findings

Gravitational force between neutrinos reaches strong force levels at 313 MeV.

Self-gravitating neutrino systems can sustain rotational motion, forming hadron-like structures.

Particle masses can be predicted with 1% accuracy using this gravitational confinement model.

Abstract

We analyze the dependence on neutrino energy of the gravitational attraction between ultrarelativistic neutrinos using Special Relativity and the equivalence principle of inertial and gravitational mass. It is found that when accounting for the special relativistic increase in particle mass with particle speed, then this gravitational force reaches the value of the Strong Force at a neutrino energy of 313 MeV, corresponding to the effective mass of a quark. This force can sustain the rotational motion of self-gravitating neutrino triads or electron/positron-neutrino pairs, and thus lead to the self driven generation of mass, i.e. of hadrons and bosons, the masses of which can be computed with an astonishing precision of 1\% without any adjustable parameters.
