Particle masses depend on a balance of electrostatic and other interactions — •Karl Otto Greulich — Fritz Lipmann Institute, Beutenbergstr.11, D 07745 Jena

According to the alpha/beta rule (K.O.Greulich 2010 J Mod Phys, 1, 300-302, K.O. Greulich, 2016 DPG Spring meeting T 99.4) for exact calculation of particle masses, all particles can be arranged on a linear axis, where each two neighbors differ by a factor of alpha = 1/137. When ml is the mass of the lighter and mh of the heavier particle and with the definition of the fine structure (Sommerfeld) constant alpha = e**2 / 2 e0 h c one obtains mh e**2 = ml * 2 e0 hc where e is the elementary charge and e0 the dielectic constant of the vacuum. It appears that a subtle balance of electrostatic and other interactions governs the ratio of each of such two masses.
