Physical consequences of the alpha/beta rule which accurately calculates particle masses — •Karl Otto Greulich — Fritz Lipmann Instute, Beutenbergstr.11,D07745 Jena

Using the fine structure constant alpha (= 1/137,036), the proton vs. electron mass ratio beta (= 1836,12) and the integers m and n, the alpha/ beta rule: m particle = alpha power to -n x beta power to m x 27,2 eV/c2 allows almost exact calculation of particle masses. (K.O.Greulich, DPG Spring meeting 2014, Mainz, T99.4) With n = 2, m = 0 the electron mass becomes 510,79 keV/c2 (experimental 511 keV/c2) With n = 2, m = 1 the proton mass is 937,9 MeV/c2 (literature 938.3 MeV/c2). For n = 3 and m = 1 a particle with 128,6 GeV/c2 close to the reported Higgs mass, is expected. For n = 14 and m = -1 the Planck mass results. The calculated masses for gauge bosons and for quarks have similar accuracy. All masses fit into the same scheme (the alpha/beta rule), indicating that non of these particle masses play an extraordinary role. Particularly, the Higgs Boson, often termed the *God particle* plays in this sense no extraordinary role. In addition, particle masses are intimately correlated with the fine structure constant alpha. If particle masses have been constant over all times, alpha must have been constant over these times. In addition, the ionization energy of the hydrogen atom (13,6 eV) needs to have been constant if particle masses have been unchanged or vice versa. In conclusion, the alpha/beta rule needs to be taken into account when cosmological models are developed.
