Table of the "Higgs Cascade"

Authors: John A. Gowan
Comments: 5 Pages.

We explore the hypothesis that there are 3 "families" or energy levels of the Higgs bosons and their associated Intermediate Vector bosons (IVBs), analogously to the three families or energy levels of the quarks and leptons. With its origin in the "Multiverse", our Universe apparently devolves (rapidly) downward in an asymmetric "Higgs Cascade" to the electromagnetic ground state, and evolves (slowly) upward again in a "rebound" driven by negentropic gravity and symmetry conservation (Noether's Theorem) toward the Multiverse or a state of pure electromagnetic radiation (light).

Fractional Dynamics and the Standard Model for Particle Physics

Authors: Ervin Goldfain
Comments: 18 pages, Published in Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation 13 (2008) 1397-1404. Also published in "Hadron Models and New Energy Issues" InfoLearn Quest (2007), ISBN 978-1-59973-042-4.

Fractional dynamics is an attractive framework for understanding the complex phenomena that are likely to emerge beyond the energy range of the Standard Model for particle physics (SM). using fractional dynamics and complex-scalar field theory as a baseline, our work explores how physics on the high-energy scale may help solve some of the open questions surrounding SM. Predictions are shown to be consistent with experimental results.

Introduction to the Weak Force

Authors: John A. Gowan
Comments: 11 Pages.

The weak force is responsible for the creation of matter during the "Big Bang" apparently via the asymmetric decay of electrically neutral leptoquark-antileptoquark particle pairs, and for the subsequent creation, transformation, and destruction of single elementary particles - particles that do not exist in matter-antimatter pairs (seen as radioactivity, particle decay/transformation, fission). Elementary particles created today must be interchangeable with those created during the "Big Bang" with respect to all conserved parameters - mass, spin, charge, etc. Creating absolutely invariant single elementary particles any time or place is the conservation challenge presented to and surmounted by the weak force, requiring the elaborate mechanism of the Higgs boson and the Intermediate Vector Bosons (IVBs). The great mass of the IVBs recreates the original energy density and unified force symmetry state in which the elementary particle classes (leptons and quarks) were first created, while the Higgs boson "gauges" (scales and selects) the IVBs and unified force symmetry state (there are several) appropriate to the transformation at hand. It is the quantization of the Higgs boson and the IVBs (plus virtual particles drawn from the global "vacuum sea") that ensures the invariance of the weak force transformation mechanism. The weak force charge is "identity" charge (AKA "number" or "flavor" charge), and is carried implicitly by all massive leptons (including leptoquarks) and explicitly by neutrinos.

The Weak Force: "Identity" or "Number" Charge

Authors: John A. Gowan
Comments: 11 Pages.

"Noether's Theorem" states that in a continuous multicomponent field such as the electromagnetic field (or the metric field of spacetime), where one finds a symmetry one will find an associated conservation law, and vice versa. In matter, light's symmetries are conserved by charge and spin; in spacetime, by inertial and gravitational forces. Neutrinos carry "identity" charge (aka "number" or "flavor" charge), the symmetry debt of light's "anonymity". The charges of matter are the symmetry debts of light.

The Higgs Boson vs the Spacetime Metric

Authors: John A. Gowan
Comments: 9 Pages.

Currently, there seems to be (at least) two interpretations of the activity of the Higgs boson: 1) the older, original interpretation of the Higgs as the scalar or gauge boson which determines the rest masses of the IVBs and elementary particles (which I can understand and endorse); 2) a newer (additional? alternative?) interpretation consisting of a "Higgs ether" which acts as the source of particle mass in the sense of inertial resistance to acceleration. In this latter interpretation, all massive particles interact with a universal Higgs field in proportion to their bound energy content, and it is this interaction or "Higgs ether drag" which causes the inertial resistance to acceleration we characterize as mass. It is this latter interpretation which I cannot understand or endorse, as it seems to force a distinction between rest mass and inertial mass, and has no power at all to explain Einstein's relativistic mass. However, replacing the "Higgs ether drag" hypothesis (but retaining the Higgs scalar hypothesis) with a "gravitational field drag" hypothesis does allow us to understand the mechanism of relativistic variability in the metric and energetic parameters of mass, and crucially preserves the necessary equivalence between inertial and rest mass.

The Origin of Matter and Information

Authors: John A. Gowan
Comments: 10 Pages.

The creation of matter during the "Big Bang" is apparently due to the asymmetric decay of electrically neutral leptoquarks and antileptoquarks, in which the antileptoquarks decay at a slightly faster rate than the leptoquarks. The leptoquarks in these decays (which are electrically neutral due to the fractionally charged quarks) are also colorless (in the limit of "asymptotic freedom"), due to the great compressive force exerted by the "X" IVB. A leptoquark antineutrino is produced in this decay, balancing the baryon "number" charge of the eventual proton. This neutrino is a "dark matter" candidate. The interaction is the initiating example of a general class of reactions between symmetric primary energy fields and asymmetric secondary or "alternative" information fields or charge carriers.

Non-Equilibrium Dynamics and Physics of the Terascale Sector

Authors: Ervin Goldfain
Comments: 10 pages, This paper is a sequel to "Non-unitary evolution in particle physics – a brief overview", Hadronics Mechanics Journal, 31(3), (2008), 571.

Unitarity and locality are fundamental postulates of Quantum Field Theory (QFT). By construction, QFT is a replica of equilibrium thermodynamics, where evolution settles down to a steady state after all transients have vanished. Events unfolding in the TeV sector of particle physics are prone to slide outside equilibrium under the combined action of new fields and unsuppressed quantum corrections. In this region, the likely occurrence of critical behavior and the approach to scale invariance blur the distinction between "locality" and "non-locality". We argue that a correct description of this far from equilibrium setting cannot be done outside nonlinear dynamics and complexity theory.

The "W" Intermediate Vector Boson and the Weak Force Mechanism

Authors: John A. Gowan
Comments: 17 pages, This paper has also been published as a Google "Knol".

Elementary particles created today must be the same in every respect as those created eons ago during the "Big Bang". The conservation requirement of elementary particle invariance constrains the mechanism of weak force particle creation and transformation. Weak force transformations recreate primordial symmetric energy states of the "Big Bang" force-unification eras (in the case of the "W", the electroweak force unification era) to accomplish the invariant creation and transformation of "singlet" elementary particles.

Partners of the Su(3) Hadrons

Authors: Bernard Riley
Comments: 18 pages, This paper has also been published as a Google "Knol".

The hadrons of the SU(3) JP= 0-, ½+ and 1- multiplets are shown to have partners of the same spin or of spin difference ½. Partnerships occur between hadrons with some quark content in common, there being no distinction between quarks and antiquarks. The partnerships are centred upon particle mass levels that descend in geometric progression from the Planck Mass. The mass differences characterising partnerships are equal to the masses of levels. Isospin doublets behave as single particles, represented by the geometric mean of the hadron masses. The K-meson isospin doublets and the electron are arranged as partnerships, as are the π+ and π- isospin triplet states and the muon.
