Standard Model Fermion Masses and Charges from Holographic Analysis
- 1 Sausalito, CA, USA
Abstract
The Standard Model of particle physics involves twelve fundamental fermions, treated as point particles, in four charge states. However, the Standard Model does not explain why only three fermions are in each charge state or account for neutrino mass. This holographic analysis treats charged Standard Model fermions as spheres with mass 0.187 g/cm<sup>2</sup> times their surface area, using the proportionality constant in the holographic relation between mass of the observable universe and event horizon radius. The analysis requires three Standard Model fermions per charge state and relates up quark and down quark masses to electron mass. Holographic analysis specifies electron mass, to six significant figures, in terms of fundamental constants <math display='inline' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'> <mrow> <mi>α</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>ℏ</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>G</mi><mo>,</mo><mi>Λ</mi></mrow> </math> and <math display='inline' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'> <mrow> <msub> <mi>Ω</mi> <mi>Λ</mi> </msub> </mrow> </math>. Treating neutrinos as spheres and equating electron neutrino energy density with cosmic vacuum energy density predicts neutrino masses consistent with experiment.
