Meson Masses are Integer Multiples of 70 MeV / c**2 — •Karl Otto Greulich — Fritz Lipmann Institut, Jena, Germany

A contribution to the Mainz Conference presents the alpha / beta rule for exact calculation of masses of fundamental particles. Thereby alpha is the fine structure constant, beta is the proton / electron mass ratio. These masses are: m(particle) = a**-n * ß**m * Q * 27,2 eV/c**2. For n = 3, m = 0 and Q = 1, a mass of 70, 01 MeV / c**2 is predicted, for which no particle exists. In the present contribution it is shown, that this mass is the bases for calculation of meson masses, in the most cases with an accuracy in the 1 % range or better. The meson masses are m(meson) = N * 70,01 MeV/c**2, where N = 2**k + 3**l, with k = 1,2,3 and l = 0 or 1. For k=1, l=0 the pion mass results as 140,02 MeV/c**2 (experimental value 139,57), for k=2, l=1 the kaon mass results as 490,07 (experimental 493,68)MeV/c**2. The eta meson follows from k,l = 3,0. The rho and omega from k,l = 3,1.
