Summary
"This book is centered on the most pressing unsolved problem in elementary particle physics - the mass generation of particles. It contains physics that is not included in the Standard Model as it is now formulated, while at the same time being in conformity with the major results of the Standard Model, i.e. isotopic spins and interactions. It differs from the Standard Model in the treatment of masses and pseudoscalar mesons, and in the role assigned to the coupling constant [alpha]." "This material can easily be followed by all physicists, both experimental and theoretical, and also by interested workers in other fields."--BOOK JACKET.

Contents
Preface : the training of an elementary particle phenomenologist -- A pictorial journey through the landscape of [alpha]-quantized elementary particle lifetimes and masses -- 1. Lifetime and mass [alpha]-quantization : physics beyond the paradigm -- 2. The phenomenology of [alpha]-quantized particle lifetimes and mass-widths -- 3. The phenomenology of reciprocal [alpha][superscript -1] and [alpha][superscript -2] particle mass quantization -- 4. The mathology of the elementary particle : the relativistically spinning sphere -- 5. The mathology of particle waves : the particle - hole pair -- 6. The mathology of the fine structure constant [alpha] = e[superscript 2]/[actual symbol not reproducible]c -- 7. Ramifications -- Postscript : the saga of m[subscript b] + 70 MeV and m[subscript f] = 105 MeV mass quanta.
