The assumption that elementary particles with nonzero rest mass consist of relativistic constituents moving with constant energy pc results in a logarithmic potential and exponential expression for particle masses. This approach is put to a test by assigning each elementary particles mass a position on a logarithmic spiral. Particles then accumulate on straight lines. It is discussed if this might be an indication for exponential mass quantization.
1 Introduction
The approach of fitting parts of elementary particle mass spectra involving logarithmic potentials has been subject to research in the past decades. In this paper the simple assumption of ...
