Modified Newtonian dynamics and excited hadrons

TL;DR

This paper explores the implications of treating the MOND acceleration parameter as a fundamental constant, linking it to hadronic excited states and suggesting a connection between MOND and space emergence.

Contribution

It introduces a novel perspective by integrating MOND as a fundamental constant and relates hadronic excited states to the MOND regime using the Newtonian triangle concept.

Findings

Excited hadron states extend into the MOND regime.

Experimental data supports the idea of space emergence in baryons.

MOND may be connected to fundamental aspects of space and matter.

Abstract

We discuss implications that result from the acceptance of MOND parameter $a_M$ as the third fundamental constant of nature in addition to $c$ and $h$. To this aim we use the concept of Newtonian triangle in the $(log(r),~ log(m))$ plane and show that excited states on hadronic Regge trajectories lead into the MOND regime beyond this triangle. The experimentally suggested freezing of one internal spatial degree of quark freedom in excited baryons corroborates then the conjecture that MOND is related to the idea of space emergence.
