IS LEPTON-QUARK MASS PRESET BY A CHARGE-NUMBER RELATION?
Gerald H. Rosen · Modern Physics Letters A · 1996
It is shown that a simple expression for m that depends exclusively on the charge-number Q gives experimentally admissible zero mass for the three neutrinos and accurately consistent mass values for the charged leptons and quarks over the five order-of-magnitude range characterized by the ratio mt/me≅3.6×105. Since this charge-number relation is patently predictive, with 12 fermion masses constituting substantial output relative to the postulational input, lepton and quark mass may indeed be preset by this charge-number condition. Hence, lepton-quark mass may actually be primary to the phenomenological standard model Lagrangian.
