Theoretical resonances for particle-antiparticle collisions based on the Thomson electron model

Abstract

A hypothetical quantum-statistical lepton particle model which gives a nonrelativistic account of time dilation is shown also to predict natural resonances for quark-containing particles colliding with their antiparticles of equal energy. For proton and antiproton collisions the hypothesis indicates only one resonance between 70 and 95 GeV. This is at 82.03 GeV, a result in accord with recently reported experiments at CERN aimed at detecting the W-boson. © 1983 Società Italiana di Fisica.
