The masses of the mesons and baryons. Part V. The neutrino branch particles

TL;DR

This paper theoretically determines the rest masses of muon and electron neutrinos and the mass ratios of certain elementary particles, proposing a lattice model held by the weak force to explain stable particles in the neutrino branch.

Contribution

It introduces a cubic lattice model for neutrino particles and calculates their eigenfrequencies using Born's theory, providing new mass estimates and ratios.

Findings

Muon neutrino mass estimated at 50 meV

Electron neutrino mass estimated at 5 meV

Mass ratios of stable particles determined with 1% accuracy

Abstract

We have determined theoretically the rest mass of the muon neutrino at 50 milli-eV and the rest mass of the electron neutrino at 5 meV, as well as, to 1% accuracy, the ratio of the masses of the stable elementary particles which decay by weak decays. We assume that the particles of the neutrino branch consist of a cubic, isotropic nuclear lattice, held together by the weak nuclear force. The eigenfrequencies of the lattice are calculated with Born's theory of cubic lattices. Only neutrinos are required to explain the so-called stable particles of the neutrino branch.
