If QCD is _the_ theory of the strong interactions then how can you
object? If you believe otherwise than you've got to construct some sort
of "two-tier" theory.

This is an extreme oversimplification. You definately need other mesons
exchanged, as well as some quark degrees of freedom. Jim Carr posted on
this subject a while back on sci.physics.particle you could try looking
that up.

And it is (on a crude level at least) a consequence of QCD.

You misunderstand, the "exchange of gluons" is responsible for the binding
of _quarks_ into hadrons. And even there there are poorly understood many
body effects.

Given a large enough computer and lots of time I'll bet QCD gets it right.

?????????

Here I'm totally lost. The mass of an up/down quark is ~5 MeV, whereas
the mass of a nucleon is ~1 GeV. The binding energy is the whole effect
(essentially).

Perhaps you are thinking of constituent quark masses (~300 MeV)? These
are generally understood to include the effects of the gluon field (the
binding energy).

Either that or you could learn more about QCD, and realize that, although
computationally difficult, it is capable of answering these questions.

I don't know about black holes (the buzzword to look for is
Einstein-Yang-Mills solution, Steve Carlip, Chris Hillman or John Baez may
be able to help you out here) but I seem to recall hearing something about
how neutron stars might have a quark-gluon plasma in their cores.

Specualting a bit, I doubt it would be possible to have a "coloured" black
hole (i.e. a physically possible one as opposed to a mathmatically
possible solution of the field equations). You start off with colour
neutral stuff (protons and neutrons) and there is no mechanism which would
generate excess colour. You might be able to get stars made out of
strange matter, and possibly a BH with non-zero strangeness, but I doubt
even that would happen in realistic conditions.

Thanks for the information. Our differing definitions of 'Nuclear Physics'
is obstructing a meaningful discussion. For scattering experiments, my
definition would limit c.m, kinetic energies to a few MeV / nucleon. With
this qualification, I continue to maintain that the nucleon - nucleon single
pion exchange potential (plus coulomb exchange potential) is sufficient to
accurately explain the interactions. Only old men can use archaic
definitions like this.

I don't have a specific cite, but the DESY facility in Germany has the
HERA accelerator which collides beams of electrons with beams of protons.
See www.desy.de for lots of info. If David Lamb is still reading s.p.p he
might be able to be more specific, but AFAIK one of the HERA beams is pure
protons.

Relevent to this thread: HERA is _the_ tool for the study of QCD, and it
has confirmed every prediction.

Actually LHC fires up in 2005 IIRC.

I'm not sure what you are responding to here but I'm assumeing it's my
comments. If so let me point out that there is no need to wait for SUSY,
QCD is confirmed up the ying-yang by a number of expeirments. As I
pointed out elsewhere on this thread www.desy.de is a good place to learn
about one of the primere expeirments that is confirming QCD on a daily
basis.

Even if correct (and I'm not sure that it is) this picture is wrong, since
we know that other mesons are nesscessary for a good phenomenological
description at higher energies.

BTW don't quote my entire article back too me unless you plan to respond
point by point.

It's not so archaic. As I had mentioned previously, this is what is
done at medium - low energy nuclear physics. In particular, most
anything that relates to beta-decay. A quick search at a search
engine using "gamow-teller" in combination with things like quenching,
forbidden, or delta-hole, will in all likelyhood, bring up much
information. I listed but a small fraction of the what research
is done in looking for these effects. Much of it will be found in the
context of shell-model calculations, since typically, it provides
decent predictions for light nuclei, from which deviations could
indicate qcd effects. In particular, modifications that are strictly
non-nucleonic contributions to the normal nucleon exchange potential
would occur through delta-hole excitations in addition to particle-
hole excitations. You will also find information of interest in
quite a bit of nuclear astrophysics.

I didn't find the particular post mentioned, but while the first part
is true, I'd be surprised about quark degrees of freedom. As far as
I know, the nucleus has so far thwarted attempts to find any non-
nucleonic degrees of freedom. While everyone knows you can build
mesons and nucleons from quarks and gluons, it isn't necessary to
within the uncertainty of the data or shell model calculations.
High energy data is different, but I think the previous poster was
talking about nuclear structure, e.g., the neighborhood of 1 MeV
excitation or 10 MeV, not enough to be producing anything as exotic
as even a delta or lowly pion.

Correct. The HERA machine is currently colliding 27,5 GeV positrons with
920 GeV protons. In the past it has run with electrons instead of
positrons (there are physics reasons why running with different leptons
from time-to-time is advantageous) and with a lower proton beam energy of
820 GeV (the proton accelerator was upgraded in 98).

See also the two main HERA experiments web sites for more on the physics:
H1 www-h1.desy.de
Zeus www-zeus.desy.de

I would agree with two small modifications. It has confirmed every
predicition where an accurate enough measurement is possible. There are
some small deviations, but these are, without fail, in areas where we are
yet to make an accurate measurement (usually due to lack of statistics)
*and* there are theoretical uncertainties.

Also, it isn't the only tool for the study of QCD (others include the
Tevatron, for example), but it is the best tool we currently have
available.

I think part of the point is that it is nice to have a theory which
interpolates smoothly between the different regimes. Starting at high
energy and comeing down.

It is, inasmuch as it is well known that I care only about objectively
verifiable stuff. I have nothing to answer to theoretical assertions not
completely grounded on verified properties of particles the existence
of which can be directly verified.

Regarding protons and quarks, which was the subject of this thread,
the only verified presence that can be ascertained through simple
non destructive scattering of electrons or positrons is that of
these 3 quarks (2 Ups and 1 Down)

Or do you dispute that?

> Second, it is inaccurate. The presence of "sea quarks" has been detected.

If you refer to scattering which is desctuctive of the structure of
the proton, then you know quite well that the outcome depends entirely
on the level of energy of the incoming particle. The outcome is not a
reflection of the internal structure of the proton any more than the
outcome of two e- colliding head on at high energy is any reflection of
any internal structure of the colliding electrons.

Sadly the name is ``toponium'' ick. But I'm not even sure it's classified
as a bound state since the top decays so quickly. I know that _any_ other
bound state is immpossible (i.e. you're not going to get t\bar{u}
mesons) due to the short lifetime.

I note that none of the facts I mentioned appeared to be addressed there
in even non-technical detail.

I'm refering to agreement between theory and expeirment at extremely

In my quarter century of doing nuclear physics, "medium energy" goes
up to about 50 or 60 MeV proton energy or the corresponding energy
per nucleon for heavy ions.

But those are cases where _meson_exchange_currents_ are included in
an analysis of the reaction rate, and the rho is not neglected. The
same calculations are not based on nuclear structure obtained with
a pion exchange force.

And the interaction used is *not* from simple pion exchange. It is
not even calculated from the NN interaction in most cases.

Your examples do not show that OPEP is used for the NN interaction,
or that you can get decent results when doing so.

You cannot get the repulsive core in the NN potential from mesons.
It is treated phenomenologically in the typical potential fits,
after including multiple meson exchanges, but there are simple
heuristic arguments for why it should come from quark effects.
Ditto for true three-body forces.

You can't get the right g matrix for those calculations if you
start with just OPEP.

The computation is maybe a decade away in Lattice QCD, I am told,
but it is easy to describe this schematically and I do so on my

a few months ago.

There is current speculation that a "neutron star" might have
strangelets at it score, hence require a quark description. In
any case, the equation of state of neutron matter requires more
than a simple OPEP for the NN interaction.

You criticism of Jim Carr's post is unreasonable, and your reasoning is
incoherent. Car was only responding to a hypothetical question of mine.
The theory of neutron stars is great physics, and I asked if this same
theory could be applied to quarks. My question may have been of topic and
belongs in SCI.physics.slightly.silly, but yours belongs in
sci.fantasy.logic.negated.

The mass of charmonium was only estimated, and no one believed it.
The bottom mass was not estimated at all.

I don't recall Glashow predicting a particular spectrum, but I do know
that the experimenters at SLAC went looking for an excited state
specifically to exclude other possibilities that had been proposed
for what they had seen.

My history may have failed me. But I thought that somebody had predicted
the charmonium spectrum numerically using a

V = 1/r + r

type potential in a non-relativistic quark model. I could be
misremembering/dreaming though.

To bring this thread back to physics.....

There is a state of metter which it is speculated could exhist at the
centre of some stars - a quark-gluon plasma. Its a state analogous to a
plasma (hence the name) only this time the nucleons are stripped apart and
quarks and gluons can move 'freely' within the state. Due to the energy
needed to do this, it takes extreme conditions to produce and has recently
been observed experimentally for the first time (see CERN's web pages for
more). The RHIC collider at Brookhaven will look into this in more detail
over the next few years.

IIRC, this state is what is meant when a 'quark star' is mentioned. But we
are taking conditions even more extreme than a neutron star, and probably
not far off a black hole.

Yes and no (although the original response wasn't supposed to
be a tome). In particular, the non-nucleonic contributions
from pi,rho, omega exchange are not included in a shell model
beyond that which goes into the choice of central potential
and a residual interaction. For an M1 transition, for example,
the external potential, V, that interacts with a pion
V + pi -> pi, is not included. I also did not take his use
of "pion" to literally be a "pion", since you can't even get
a stable nucleis that way. I took "old timer" to mean "use
pion more generically". I don't think the point of his question
was to argue about the various mesons he didn't want to add
to his list, so I tried to get right to his point about the
qcd effects, along with the means to look up the research and
read it at whatever level he wants to (or can). I'm not going
to pester someone to go spend a few hours studying, just to
ask a question, if I think I can figure out what is being
asked. However, since the shell model separates the effects
of exchange into a central potential + perturbation, I thought
that this was reasonable and I figured I'd give him a wide assortment
of things to look at without making it a long, post on the nuclear
physics part, since it was posted with regard to qcd effects.
IMO, the "pion", part was esentially, just a way of introducing
the question and clue people in to what he knows.

A strict one-pion exchange most certainly will not work. However,
it is also not possible to take A=40, and start from nothing but
meson exchange and obtain a working nucleus. To some extent, the
mean field or rpa or however you want to go about it, represents
the nuclear contributions from those processes. mec get introduced
as modifications (to either operators or the wavefunctions), so,
the potential may not be calculated byy starting with an NN
interaction, but the NN part of the meson exchange is certainly
contained in the potentials used. [c.f. "Corrections to the
Single-Particle M1 and Gamow-Teller Matrix Elements",

Unfortunatly I was since your ref. is after the discovery of the

Griffith's text has more on this. It's resonable (10%) just like about
every well though out quark model.

What I mean is that there are a plethora of models used to describe

Nope you're not dreaming. This Coulomb plus linear potential


is called the "Cornell" potential and it was proposed by
Eichten et. al. in PRD 21, pg. 203 (1980) "Charmonium : Comparison
with experiment." It's supposed to do a decent job for

Opps, I didn't read carefully enough since you did say
*predicted* rather than retrodicted. So yes this is
as far as I know false (i.e. the specturm of charmonium
was worked out theoretically after the discovery of J/psi).
But I think I know which story you were thinking of :
In 1970 in a PRD paper Glashow, Iliopoulis and Maiani (GIM)
introduced a fourth quark (the charm quark) in order
to get rid of flavor changing neutral currents (at tree
level) which would occur at unacceptable levels with only the
up, down and strange quarks. So GIM predicted the existence
of the charm but didn't really give a mass. Then in 1974
Mary Gaillard and Ben Lee used the GIM scenario to look
at certain radiative corrections (I think this was for the
radiative corrections to the K_long /K_short mass difference).
By making certain assumptions this radiative correction
depended on the charm quark mass and so a prediction of
m_C ~ 1.5 GeV (or so) was made before the J/psi was
discovered experimentally. However, I don't think that
the experimental teams that discovered the J/psi were
much influenced by this prediction for m_C since either
they didn't know about or pay attention to this prediction.
Anyway that's the story I remember. If this is wrong then
Jim Carr can probably tell you the real story since he seems
to have been either a grad student or post-doc at this time,
and appears to have been at a place where he could get first
hand knowledge of the players in the story.

He posted a summery of this a few months back. It's a fascinating
story. A good place to go for this is Crease and Mann's book, The Second
Creation. There's also a big historical conference from a few years back,
I think the title is "The Rise of the Standard Model".

I know this was done within days of the first reports, since I know
someone who switched from calculating positronium to charmonium
almost overnight (Wayne Repko). That means there were probably
spectra predictions before the psi' and psi'' were seen, certainly
before the chi_c and eta_c were seen, but I don't thing they were
made before the J/psi was reported.

I don't know of an example from before November 1974 -- but would
really like to know if there was such a calculation out there.

But that is not before November 1974. However, if you have that
handy, its intro and literature review ought to indicate when the
first charmonium spectrum prediction was published.

Sounds right to me. But a big " ~ " and none of that seems to

Worse, the people who should have found it did not look, and had
to eat their hats. Literally. (Actually little candy sombreros
made with a hot spicy candy.) This was because of the bet made
by Glashow during a talk at an April 1974 conference on meson
spectroscopy. His talk, and the ridicule of it by the theory
summary reviewer, is an absolute classic.

You have the blue AIP conf proceedings in the library? Look it
up. You will not be disappointed.

More importantly, if Ting had been aware of this possibility,
or taken it seriously, he would have scooped SLAC by months
and IMO the post doc who actually made the discovery might have
had a shot at sharing the Nobel under those circumstances.

Some of my good friends were HEPcats, plus we had a colloquium
on the discovery at SLAC within a week of the event -- before
they had figured out that it was charm.

Mr Heymann
i didn't say i am an expert about stars
if you read it again i was speaking about 'clues'
and guesses first raw ideas you have to start with something
but while we speake about nuclear structure
my advise to you is to take me more seriously with that field
since if i am not wrong i am expert No 1 in it
(expert is relative and temporary (-:)

to be an expert on nuclear structure is not difficult today
(since ignorance of today in that area is sky lifting (-:)
and if you want 'hair lifting'
all the best

The basic reaction is

e^{+} + e^{-} -> q + \bar{q}

and it proceeds via a virtual photon or Z^{0}. The quarks subsequently
"fragment" into jets of hadrons. The evidence for this is overwhelming
and SM predictions fit all known data. See the reviews in the most recent
particle data book (pdg.lbl.gov) for more info.

Alternatively:

The basic reaction is e^{+} + e^{-} -> q + \bar{q}

and it proceeds via a virtual photon or Z^{0}. The quarks subsequently

"combine" into jets of hadrons. The evidence for this is overwhelming and SM


predictions fit all known data.

I have an instinctive aversion to the idea that small particles break up into
larger ones. There is an assumption in the above that quarks are formed in the
first place. The above is also evidence that quarks are a structure of
electrons and positrons.

By the way being metallurgically based the last I heard of Griffiths was in
relation to cracks in glass!!

From Fermi lab, an artistic rendition of the above reaction shows top and
anti-top emerging form the reaction center to produce two jets. The caption
explains that, of coarse, the quarks must be 'dressed up' with other quarks,
because otherwise, one could infer the observation of bare quarks. I
suppose that the extra quarks needed for cloaking are produced by gluon pair
production. At threshold, the energy in the incident channel would yield
the mass of a hadron and not twice the mass of the top quark. An analysis of
the jet fragments would yield the mass of another hadron and not the mass of
the top quark. The top quark mass then depends upon the theoretically
derived masses and binding energies of all the other quarks. It's to bad
that we can;t put a few quarks through a bending magnet to get their masses.

The point is you were wrong. The mass is measured by adding up all the
mass-energy in the jet.

??? I don't know about the drawing, but my reaction wasn't misleading in
the slighest. It was probably not very helpful, but that's another
matter.

Except there's not enough beam energy.

The electroweak interaction is the link. It's not just a 0=0 prediciton
since the GWS electroweak theory sucessfully predicts the cross section of
the reation, and QCD sucessfully predicts the jet distributions etc.

If you don't like it then come up with a better theory. Don't forget to
reproduce all known data though.

According to recent experiments and results from Brown University by Humphrey
Maris and his staff, QCD, QED, and their quarks are in big trouble. Maris and his
team have proven that the electron is a composite entity. The team was successful
in splitting the electron into two parts. These results correspond exactly to the
predictions contained in the Geatron principles of Pamfiloff.

It now appears that the results of several recent experiments at Brown University
have proven specifically this aspect and several other major aspects of my work.
Dr. Humphrey Maris and his team, while zapping liquid He4 with infrared light
obtained an unexpected result. It appeared that an electron split into two parts,
with each part suspended in separate bubbles. These experiments and results were
announced on August 1, 2000. Naturally, this observation was shocking to the
scientific community, as it not only defied The Standard Model Theory, but also
placed quarks into a new category, that of the Non-existent. Moreover, the results
have proven that the electron is a composite entity rather than a virtual finite
entity, which is one of the major principles of my work.

According to statements by Maris, Modern Theory has no explanation for these
results. However, my work not only predates that of Maris and predicted these
results many years ago, but easily explains the products, as follows:

Electron Composition:

3 Stages, with each composed of 9 Geatron particles of energy, each with a Mass
of: m = 0.018926578 MeV/c2 Pfc

Each Stage has a Mass of: m = 0.170339202 MeV/c2

During Maris’s experiment, after exposure to low frequency Infrared Light, the
electron split into two. The results are described with the Geatron principles as
follows:

1) Stage I and II remained intact yielding a Mass of m = 0.340678404 MeV/c2 and
possessing a NEUTRAL charge due to the cancellation of charges between Stages I
and II.

2) Stage III, which is loosely held or bound, as compared to Stages I & II,
dislodged, yielding a Mass of m = 0.170339202 MeV/c2 and possessing a NEGATIVE
electric charge.

Dr. Maris has stated that he does not understand the results that he obtained. On
the other hand, my work describes not only that electron fragmentation or fission
will occur with low energy input, but also states the exact order of fragmentation
that will take place at different energy levels, yielding the exact mass, charge
and composition of the products.

Sincerely,

Eugene Pamfiloff

Unsuprisingly, a search of LANL reveals nothing from a Dr. Humphrey Maris,
from this or any other month. His webpage at Brown

http://www.physics.brown.edu/Users/faculty/maris/maris.htm

has nothing on this momentous discovery. Neither does the Brown physics
deparment news page

http://www.physics.brown.edu/Dept/events.htm

Suprising that they do not mention this Nobel prize caliber discovery. A
recent article in physics today by Dr. Maris doesn't seem to reveal this
secrect (http://www.aip.org/pt/feb00/maris.htm) though the work does sound
interesting.

Is there a more recent ref?

There was an article on this in one of the SF papers a while back -- I
posted about it on sci.physics, but other than finding the conference
that this took place at, no one could figure out what they were talking
about. I think the best guess is that it's another science writer
completely misunderstanding something. Phil Anderson was quoted in the
article commenting on it, so I've debated going into his office and
asking what it's about, but he's Phil Anderson. Maybe I'll ask his grad
student if I remember to....

Even in the case that someone found electrons to be composite:


(1) It won't mean qed is wrong. It's part of a larger theory already,
so is unlikely to be affected, since any electron composites would
be extremely massive.

(2) You aren't nearly the first to propose such a thing. This was quite
popular in the early to mid 80's and if you do a search for
technicolor and high energy physics or heavy leptons, you will find
no shortage of literature, I'm pretty certain.

(3) It wouldn't be entirely unexpected or without precedent to find
electrons to be composite. You only need note the resemblence of
the quark and lepton flavors to the periodic table. Finding
a composite electron won't invalidate qcd. Any new theory will
need to explain why qcd works so well. I'n sure you have a
theory, but I doubt qcd is a limiting case, except to the extent
that it limits your theory.

(4) When will people get over the idea that science is opposed to
discovery? Being opposed to fraud is not the same thing. I
suppose those in the fraud business find it useful to promote
such an idea, though. Lots of physicists would be ecstatic to
know there isn't a "cosmic desert" between current energies and
strong unification energies, since we'll never build an accel-
erator capable of reaching the X and Y masses.

Hello Bilge:

First of all, I do not think that your cracks and implications were called for. There
are many forms of blindness, yours is one type. Unfortunately, you cannot see, or even
admit that there are unreconcilable problems with your QCD bible. Your mind is still in
the 19th century of classical physics. At least, Matthew Nobes admits that QCD is not
able to predict more than 1% of nuclear interactions. In fact, QCD cannot predict nor
account for the Mass Deficit relative to any nuclear interaction, nor explain the
origin or workings of one of the forces!!!

Wake up and get with it. There is only one Theoretical Model out there that is able to
account precisely for Mass Deficit, Charge, remaining Mass, and 100% of all nuclear
interactions (not 1% as with QCD). The work also explains the origin and workings of
each force, and the processes leading to the formation of Matter. This theoretical
model is contained within the Geatron Principles, with many prominent scientists
acknowledging its significance.

And finally, I have not received any grants or advance royalties for my work in
particle physics. As a matter of fact, I will not receive one cent until the publisher
recuperates all costs, estimated at 10,000 copies; very few technical works sell more
that 1000 copies. This work was not written for profit, nor could I ever be compensated
for the years of research and study. Consequently, the only thing that I am selling is
a lost idea called, "open mind and free thinking" coupled with the advancement of
knowledge presented in a different and logical view of the universe.

Sincerely,

Name them.

Further, comeing from you this is almost a joke. Your theory doesn't even
provide a means of answering questions. (remember those nasty ones that I
asked the last time we talked, H atom, etc., you claimed they were too
difficult to answer)

Shall we run down (yet again) three successful QCD predictions

1) running of the strong coupling constant

2) cross section of e^{+}+e^{-} -> Hadrons

3) scaling violations in deep inelastic scattering

Tell me Mr. Pamfiloff, what is your predictions for these three things?

I have not, nor have I ever "admitted" (or said) that or anything like it.
Please stop misrepresenting my views on the subject. QCD is,
_in_principle_ capable of calculating any question that is asked of it.

> In fact, QCD cannot predict nor account for the Mass Deficit relative

???
What on Earth does this mean? QCD can, in principle, predict the nuclear
interaction. In practice getting precise numbers is hard. But 10%
agreement with a wide varity of Hadron properties is here, and the days of
1% agreement are no more then 5-10 years away.

Again, I strees that _all_ work in the field, has confirmed QCD. The DESY
expeirments, along with the TeVatron, CESR, etc. *all* confirm QCD.

BS. I've seen your book, it's not even a theory. You provide no (none,
nada, zip) algorithm for computing _anything_.

Not so. QED is based on electrons being fundamental particles.
In generalizations, it's the quarks and the leptons
that are elementary. One of those leptons is the electron.

Probably not. It would invalidate QED unless the energy scale was

I agree with that. However, your heart's in the right place,

From the description given of the experiment performed by Maris at
[http://www.brown.edu/Administration/News_Bureau/2000-01/00-009.html],
it seems highly likely that he has =NOT= in fact ``split'' an electron
into ``component parts,'' but has merely created a MIXED STATE in which the
electron's wave-function is such that it has a roughly 50:50 =PROBABILITY=
of being inside _either_ one bubble =OR= the other, and a low probability
of being outside either bubble:

``...According to quantum theory, the state of a particle is described
as its wave function. The probability that the particle will be found in
any position is proportional to the square of the wave function at
that point in space. Maris' theory considers what happens to electrons
when they are immersed in liquid helium at a temperature of one degree
above absolute zero. Previous experiments have shown that an electron
in helium becomes trapped in a bubble approximately 100-billionths of
an inch in diameter. The bubble drifts through the liquid with the
wave function of the electron confined inside it.

Maris shows that when the bubble is illuminated with infrared light,
the bubble can divide into two smaller bubbles each containing a part
of the wave function of the electron. These two bubbles can then move
independently through the liquid and become separated from each other...''

While the above may seem strange to one's macroscopically-biased intuition,
I suspect that from a quantum-physics standpoint, it is no stranger than an
electron traveling through ``both slits at once'' in a two-slit apparatus.

So I very much doubt that once the paper describing this observation appears,
it will be all that ``shocking to the scientific community'' nor will it have
``defied The Standard Model Theory,'' as you claim --- it will simply once
again demonstrate that under Quantum Mechanics, some rather strange and
counter-intuitive things can happen...

Well, I have read the tomes and I know that those are cases where
non-nucleonic degrees of freedom are being considered, not how
the nucleonic part has been calculated.

But the residual interaction has all of them, and more, since it
is a g-matrix (and empirical at that). The non-nucleonic parts
are all correction terms unrelated to the nuclear structure
calculation itself. They are corrections to the matrix element.

One can argue at length whether they are doing the equivalent
of core-polarization (where the operator is changed to compensate
for flaws in the wave function, because they do that also) or
if it is a vertex correction (the way they tend to talk about it).

I know that paper well. From one point of view, it is mostly
about correcting errors that result from truncating the basis
space in the structure calculation (core polarization for the
classic nucleonic part, plus non-nucleonic degrees of freedom
as well). That is, the nucleonic part is assumed to have been
done with a realistic g matrix (whether it was or not) that has
contributions from everything including short range repulsion
in the core, but you don't use the right basis. You try to fix
this by adding in the missing pieces with perturbative estimates.

You don't have to have a free particle to measure its charge.
There are scattering experiments you can do where you can

Deep inelastic scattering with a combination of probes.

Please send me the details of this challenge by private email. I am

or not.

If it is you, please send me a list of specific criteria that you need to

Also is that $100000 US dollars? (that is about 160000 Canadian dollars,

If the composites are extremely massive, it doesn't matter as far as qed
is concerned at the level qed is currently valid. It wouldn't matter until
energies where transitions between lepton family number became important
and since this has never been observed and the branching ratio for the
process is known to have an upper limit of < 10^-12, qed would not
distinguish nor would it be very easy to determine exactly how the it
would affect the tests of qed.

What energy scale did you assume I had in mind since I didn't

the composites are enormously massive.

Huh? I need to show that a new theory should encompass the current state
of the art if it is to be considered seriously? Why? That is the usual
standard and has always been.

SR did not invalidate newton, but it encompasses newton as a limit.
GR did not invalidate SR, but encompasses it as a limit.
QM did not invalidate classical mechanics, but encompasses it as a limit.
QED did not invalidate maxwell but encompasses it as a limit.
Weinberg-Salaam did not invalidate the v-a structure of beta decay nor the
v structure of E&M but encompases them as a limit.
Quarks did not invalidate nuclear isospin invariance but encompases
it as a limit.
The standard model didn't invalidate any of these, but encompasses all
of them as limits.

What exactly is there to show about this concept?

What's questionable. I'm not proposing anything, much less anything

First off, I, as well as most every other physicist has no
illusion that qcd is complete to the extent that qed is -
i.e., verifiable measurements to unprecedented precision and with
unprecedented accuracy compared with calculation, nor that
it answers a number of questions that one would like to have
answered. However, a replacement that answers fewer than this
and does not explain why the standard model works as well as
it does in the context that it has proven to give the correct
results, is not a candidate to replace it, nor do I see how
anyone could expect it to be accepted as such. I have no
opposition to new science - only that which offers itself as
such while making no attempt to demonstrate it.

>the 19th century of classical physics. At least, Matthew Nobes admits that
>QCD is not able to predict more than 1% of nuclear interactions. In fact,

In fact, What do you mean, less than 1%? Name examples where
QCD has been employed and failed to produce a result that
justifies the 1% figure. Name any examples where it fails
on its own merits rather than on the complexity that any
many-body calculation (yours included) would involve. If
your theory has no such problems, great, I have some questions
you can answer for me.

>QCD cannot predict nor account for the Mass Deficit relative to any

How do you figure? What does QCD have to say about it that is
incorrect? The mass deficit is a definition not a physical
dilemma. It's a result of the principle that things don't
do more than the energy available allows. How badly do you
want to know how E&M, for example, works? If you have an
interest, you can find out.

>Wake up and get with it. There is only one Theoretical Model out there
>that is able to account precisely for Mass Deficit, Charge, remaining
>Mass, and 100% of all nuclear interactions (not 1% as with QCD). The work

Use your theory to Explain why there is no nucleus with 5 nucleons,
i.e., 5He (2p3n), 5Li (3p2n) are particle unbound while 6Li (3p3n)
is stable.

OK. Explain beta decay.

And finally, I have not received any grants or advance royalties for my
work in particle physics. As a matter of fact, I will not receive one cent
until the publisher recuperates all costs, estimated at 10,000 copies;

Then wouldn't you have been better off disseminating in a
way that would generate more readers, e.g., a postscript
file on your website? That would have saved a lot of
extra work that apparently no one but the publisher will
profit from, if even the publisher.

I would very much like to know what QCD has to say about the instability of
5He and 5Li and the stability of 6Li. I am aware of the effects of the
Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) upon nucleon - nucleon interactions, but
that principle stands by itself and is not derived from QCD. PEP is, of
course, an adopted part or one of the postulates of the Standard Model. I
am also aware that, in principle, QCD can yield a long range nucleon -
nucleon force that is attractive in spin state, S = 1, and repulsive in S =
0, and, along with PEP, can be used to show that the di-neutron and
di-proton are unstable and that the deuteron is stable. So, other than that
stated above, what does QCD have to say about 5He, 5Li, and 6Li? 8Be is
also an interesting case. Incidentally, the first excited state of 6Li
decays by particle emission to d + 4He.

At low energies a nucleon looks like three ~300 MeV quarks. What's
"really" there is three ~5 MeV quarks "dressed" by strong field effects.

I'm not interested in being convinced, I'm interested in the monetary

QCD has nothing to say about it apart from what it tells you
in constructing mesons. It's not necessary to use QCD, but
anyone planning to get rid of it needs to explain the nucleons
and mesons, or whatever they wish to replace them with, to
obtain the same empirical measurements.

A spin triplet is repulsive, not attractive. s1.s2 = -3 for a
singlet and 1 for a triplet (from s(s+1) - s1(s1+1) - s2(s2+1))
The generic one pion exchange is s1.s2 t1.t2 x radial dependence
where s1,s2 are the pauli operators and t1,t2 are the isospin.
It's attractive for negative values and repulsive for + values.
The S = 0, isotriplet are the pions (udbar, dubar, uubar-ddbar).
These are attractive. With S = 1, you get \rho mesons and those
are replulsive. The T = 0, S = 0 are the \eta, \eta' which are
also replulsive and the \omega's which are attractive are the
S = 1, T = 0.

All qcd says is "let there be mesons and nucleons".

Considering how tightly bound 4He is, that's perfectly reasonable.

I was restricting "generalizations" to be something like

that no one will hear) it shows misunderstanding about the
structure of matter.
first - now one realy knows what is the strong force and how it works
if someone tells you he knows - tell him he is a croock.

second : if no one realy knows that usind strong forces in mass
calculations
is another nonsense.
i will tell you and others again:
i did a study of many years (beieve it or not it made me expert No 1
in that field)about nuclear structure and binding energy.
and yes indeed there are subparticles with the mass of a few mevs
that are responsible for the bonding of nucleids but it is not more
than
a few mevs any talking of hunderds of mevs for binding nucleids
is glorious ignorance.
those ones who have my book should understand and be convinced
that i am a serious talker with 'reciets'
if you whant more arguments i will go on with it in more detale

btw if you are serious with your scientific curiousity
try to believe me that it ismore important than the 100000$
it is much more than that but as i saied you have no chance to get it
from me because i know the srtucture of matter better than you
so please correct me scientifically if i am wrong.

all the best

Oh Gohs Gohs!
one of the tragic aspects of umen faith is the 'sysiphic work syndrom'

people invent the wheel again and insist to do it themselves
each generation again!
so young and old men : the whell has already been invented
yet you are mambling again and again
so let me tell you once and for all (forget about once and for all
with these people (-:)
about 4 He and therefor you will understand why it is stable
while 5 He cannot be stable.
the alpha particle has been decoded 9by me) and was discussed
intensively (relatively intensively) in the fussion ng where it
deeply belongs. you can go there and follow it.
but since i know that all of us are a bit lazy so i will bring again
some hints about it.
first go to my site
http://sites.netscape.net/poratmy/homepage/site3.html
and see at the beginning a detailed and plastic description of it
sory it is 3d and i am sure most of you are 'flat paper people'
so ask a friend who is in to make a little Model (3d0 of it

you will realise that this is one of the most wonderful symetric
3d structure ie :
this is the only posibility to connect 4 lines in one point...
with the condition that .... all the angles (in 3d) wiil be..
equal it can be proven even by theorethic mathematics that this is
the only solution under those conditions.
no Pauli and no shmauli it is a resuly of a *structure*
stability - the wonderful stability is a resulyt of believe it or not
and as simple as structural reasons.
no spins and no shmins and no other speculative nonsense.
the angle between all of them is something like 104.... deg
so even if you will stand with your head upsiddown you cannot
add to 4He another particle without damaging it'sstructural harmony.
Li is a similar story: the main resons for stability or not are
geometric structure.

i hope it helps to save time and energy of learned people
if you have more questions i will ttry to answer.

My personal physics library was destroyed in a fire several years ago.
deShalit and Feshbach went up in flames along with the rest, but since I am
gainfully employed at a state university, I do have easy access to the books
and journals therein. My comment on your 'tutorial' was meant as a
compliment rather than a complaint. However, although I understood
everything you said, I can't reconcile my recollections on spin / isospin
with your presentation. I am probably at fault, but I can't figure out
where I've gone wrong. Therefore, I would appreciate a critique of the
following:

The Pauli exclusion principle (PEP) states that, for Identical fermions, the
total wave function must be anti-symmetric wrt the exchange of particles.
For nucleons, isospin formalism allows the proton and neutron to be treated
as identical fermions. Only orbital angular momentum, L = 0, is considered
here. Therefore, the radial and angular part of the wave function are
symmetric under particle exchange. For two nucleons, the spin state S=0 and
the isospin state T=0 are both anti--symmetric under nucleon exchange, and
the states S=1 and T=1 are both symmetric. By PEP, only S=0 with T=1 and
S=1 with T=0 are allowed. T=1 contains the unbound di-neutron and
di-proton, and therefore, the nucleon-nucleon force is repulsive for S=0
with T=1. T=0 contains the bound deuteron, and therefore, the force is
attractive for S=1 with T=0.

Well, that's it. I hope someone can find the error(s) in my ways.

Mr Nobes
i was cutting some of the quotes because it is becoming to
'quote of a quote of a quote ' and not effective
so i willanswer you just 'free hand' from what i breifly remember
in shot : i concentrait on the 'bottom lines'
while i promise a prize --i mean it. on the other hand
you can be sure that since i don't have too many 100000$
i do it while i am 100 percent sure about my claimes.
and anothe remark.
sometimes our coversations seems to be useless but you see
i found in my long years that it is never useless to discuss
with cleaver people ( and i cosidr you cleaver! and feel thatin botom
line you have the soul of an investigator)

so due to our recent discussion it sudenly became clear to me
a few thins that i could not understand:
for instance:
i could not understand what is the strange talking of scintist
about those mysterious 'supper heavy gluone'
i could not figure where did they came to those strange resurches.
now discussion with you i thing i got something important:
the supperheavy gluons were born in sin' -
it is a mistake that is leading to another mistake!
the first mistake of scintists was that they were sure
9God knows why!) that the nucleid is composed of only 3 subparticles.
now they realised that the real glouons found in experiments
are of only few mevs (which is compatible with my findings)
now they faced a problem,. since they have 'in hand' only a few meves
so now came the question : where are the 'hundred of mevs that are
missing? so they invented another guess- which is , the missing
mass is 'strond forces and heavy gluones' which has nothing
to do with reality. it is a stupid assumption of people who have
no much idea about the structure of matter. and i explain myself now:

believe it or not , today i am exoert No 1 9i our univers)
obout 'binding energies' go to my site to get only the tipof that

now i am not going to expose here all the binding energies
(some of them are exposed in my site with the light element
description but this is only the tip of the iceberg)
now i can tell you that those binding energy of -all- the elements
in the periodic table in only a few mevs!
no another important point (listen carefully!)
the binding energies -are the best indication for the 'strong forces'
they are connected and ascociated : energies and forces1
so if the binding energies of -all- the periodic table is only a few
mevs ,than the talking of hunderds of mevs of gluones is
as i sayed ' a sin that was born by another sin'
you ask me if i learned about qcd? the answer is :
i was lucky enogh not to learn it ! unless you show me that
i was missind something.
i hope you got some of my arguments

Fine then, if you think you are right send me the details of the challenge
and we'll get started. But since you're clearly 100% convinced of your
position I think it would be fair to have an outside judge don't you?

The point is you aren't discussing anything, you are simply repeated you
own (wrong) views. This is dispite the fact that I know more about the
subject than you. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

Where did you here this. It's not strictly correct. The gluons do no
aquire a mass, rather they "dress" the quarks, effectively increasing
their masses.

How on earth can you make that sort of judgment. A theory that agrees
with experiment explains all of this very well.

Umm, SLAC-MIT deep inelastic scattering.

Probably. My impression from your earlier reply was that you read more
into what I said to pamfiloff than I did when stating that composite
electron models were not new, since they really aren't new, but just
have never been found to work. I wasn't even making a claim as to
whether an electron should or shouldn't be a composite beyond the
obvious appearance of the lepton and quark generations to to the
periodic table. I believe at this stage, any composites would have
to be > ~ 150 GeV, so qed would be pretty accurate as far as electrons
and muons go. Since electron composites are definitely not a part
of the standard model, I was definitely not restricting myself to
that. My main point to pamfiloff, was that composite electron models
aren't a novelty, just not successful.

I understood. That was the reason I supplied that reference. Since
I learned lots of nuclear physics from it, I suspect that whatever

it, so that if you weren't familiar with the book already, you
would at least know where to get the improved version.

There's nothing wrong here. Both the S=0,T=1 and S=1,T=0 potentials
are attractive. Nothing guarantees the wavefunctions have the
same enegy though. The T=1,S=1 and S=0,T=0 however, ARE both repulsive.
Apparently, nature chose the S=1, T=0 to be the bound state of the
deuteron. The pion is charged and the reaction must also conserve
the charge as well. The pion + Nucleon forms either a T=3/2 or T=1/2
system (just like J = L+S would do for L=1 + S=1/2). Since the initial
and final state of the nucleus after the exchange are observable,
N + pi -> N'. for pp, this means pp + pi -> pp or nn + pi -> nn if
the pi is a pi_0 and by charge independence the symmetric np+pn state
has the same energy. The T=0 state has np + pi -> np, for pi_0 and pi+/-.
(Q = Tz + Y/2, Y=1 for n,p and 0 for pions if you find it a little
confusing to relate the charge and isospin). With any luck, this is
less confusing than it looks and hopefully without shortchanging too
much. If you care to send an email, I can provide more details, than is
easily done here. [final note, a nucleus with different numbers of
n, p can be a mixed configuration of several different T with the
same Tz).

Thanks for replying and thank you for confirming that my memory hasn't
completely stopped working yet. I did note that your interaction strength
formula, s1*s2 t1*t2, gave identical results (by symmetry!) for S=0,T=1 and
S=1,T=0. That's a neat equation. Right now, I'm going to spend some tine
on your final note.

Roughly yes

The up quark is ~5 MeV and the down is ~10 MeV. When bound in the strong
gluon field they get "dressed" and look like three ~300 MeV particles.

lets try agin: (onlyif you are a bonaffide scientist and have an open
mind)

and i will start with a few questions to you:

1.is the mass of 3 quarks in a nucleid known?

2. whas it ever found experimentally 3 quarks in a single quark?

3. what is the mass of the gluon that you and your theory(


we know actually it is not your personal theory)

I probably should have written something indicating the expectation

You only have two, so they can only combine into a single meson.

No.

And that implication contained in the first statement is wrong.

The first statement would have been better if it had said that
gluon fields "fragment" producing quark-antiquark pairs, in a
way that is nicely visualized by a string-breaking model.

They move. They exert forces on each other. They are
bound by a force that increases with distance.

i would like Mr Nobes to answer
anyway i can ask you a btw question.

you say that there are two kinds of mass and matter
one is real matter that can be measured by experimental tools
that measure mass

and there is a second kind of matter that cannot be measured by
our known instruments.

moreover: it comes out that there is some physical difference
between those two parts
so what makes that difference and how can it be detected by
our senses or senses together with measuring instruments.

and the mostpeculiar of the above claims is that:

about 2 percent of the nucleid is real and detectable
by ordinary instruments
while 98 percent 'only looks ' like detected'

and as old Catto saied:
the main body (the main body!) of the nucleid
does not include no Quarks and no Shmarks

Nor that.

What is the mass of an electron moving in a semiconductor as a
charge carrier? How about a hole? Why is the electron mass not
the same electron mass as a free electron? The difference is the
potential. That accounts for part of the energy and corresponds
to the gluon momentum. The quarks also can move relativistically.
Light quarks that move very fast can have larger momenta than
mv. After all, you are measuring momenta, not mass. Before you
claim otherwise, do not forget that the only way you know that
an atom is large with a small proton is through the same type
of analysis.

Catto is right that nuclei are made from quarks, but the smarks
have to go.

Barnaby, B.C.

Re: Your comments referencing my work in particle physics, as posted to
sci.physics.particle and sci.physics. relativity.

Dear Mr. Nobes:

In the past, through your news group writings, I have found you to be
extremely knowledgeable in the subject of particle physics, helpful to those
with serious questions, and highly respected by group members and I am one of
those members. In your response to my recent news group contribution you made
several statements regarding my work in particle physics and asked several
questions that I must respond to.

To begin with, in December of 1999, at your request, I sent you a
complimentary copy of my manuscript, in good faith and without conditions,
except for your promise to read the entire work. You advised me that you would
complete its reading within several weeks and respond to me privately with
your comments. Obviously, this did not occur. It is apparent from the recent
comments and questions that you have posted on the sci.physics news groups on
Aug. 25, 2000 and later, that you have not studied nor read the work as
promised, yet you are extremely critical of a potentially important work
without having a basic understanding of it. You may have read a few of the
beginning pages, but it seems to me that you stopped reading when you found
the first contradiction to QCD.

I have no objections to opposing views or negative comments of my work,
however, when the commentator has little knowledge of the work, then I must
object. However, in a way, this was my fault, as I did not realize that you
were so consumed with QCD that there was no room for opposing ideas, even
though I advised you in advance that my work contradicted QCD.

You have challenged me to respond and to answer your questions. I will
endeavor to answer each of your questions and respond to each of your comments
to the best of my ability and at the same time, apologize to all group members
for the lengthiness of this response.

> Unfortunately, you cannot see, or even admit that there are

> irreconcilable problems with your QCD bible.

Nobes asks: “Name them.”

How many shall I name for you?
1. Of the approximately 800 particles known to exist, from the elementary to
the atomic, NOT ONE HAS EVER BEEN OBSERVED POSSESSING A FRACTIONAL CHARGE.
a. Yet, the quarks of QCD have been assigned fractional charges of 1/3 +&- and
2/3 +&-?????????????????????
b. If you are interested in the answers to this question, refer to my work,
Pages: 24,26,30,40-42,132,161-163, & chapter 16.
2. After the acceleration and collision between protons at velocities
approaching the speed of light, the two baryons break up into a variety of
elementary fragments and chips, sometimes totaling several hundred, revealing
that ALL of the negatively and positively charged elementary chips possess
only Whole Number Charges.
a. Yet, not a single fractionally charged entity is observed
b. If the two protons involved in the collision are composed of only (3)
quarks and (8) gluons each, for a total of (22) fundamental particles, then
where did the hundreds of elementary chips come from???????????
c. How is it possible for a total of (6) fundamental finite quarks to break
into hundreds of positive, negative and neutral elementary entities, many of
which continue to decay further, if quarks are finite??????????????
d. If the quarks comprising the proton contain only THREE fractionally charged
entities, then where did the hundreds of whole number charged particles come
form??????
e. From these observations, we must accept the only conclusion possible: That
protons are not composed of three quarks, but a large number of finite
positive, negative and neutral particles; Read My Work!!!!!!!!!
This is just the beginning, as I could name you hundreds of problems with
QCD! On the other hand, my work is able to answer each of these mysteries
with precision without the necessity for quarks and provide the exact
composition of each fragment or chip! See Pages: 43-52, 131-157.
3. The (u) quark has a mass of 360 MeV, the (d) has a mass of 360 MeV, and the
proton is supposed to contain three quarks (uud) for a total mass of 1080 MeV,
yet the mass of the Hydrogen proton is 938.28 MeV. 1080 – 938.28 = 141.72
MeV/c2 = ( a Mass Deficit)
a. This is just one of hundreds of examples of a Mass Deficit that QCD is
unable to account for. How is it possible to obtain a Mass Deficit from three
Finite Indivisible Quarks????????????????
b. However, my work is able to explain the exact composition and structure of
the Proton, see Pages. 51, 52, 71-87, 111-130, 131-160, 182-191.
4. The free state unstable Neutron, which for good reason, I describe as the
N1 neutron, is thought to be composed of (udd) quarks with a total mass of
1080 MeV, yet the actual mass of the N1 is 939.57 MeV. 1080 – 939.57 =
140.43 MeV/c2 = (another Mass deficit that quarks cannot account for)
a. Again, just how is it possible to obtain a Mass Deficit from three Finite
Indivisible Quarks???????????????????????????
b. If you would like the answers, see my work, Pages: 54-57, 61,63-64,69-73.
5. The Decay Products of an N1 neutron reveal again that QCD is unable to
account for Mass Deficit and much more. A free state, N1 type neutron (m =
939.57 MeV) will experience beta decay in approximately 15min. emitting the
following known products: a P1 proton (m = 938.28 MeV), a Beta particle (m =
0.511 MeV), an Antineutrino (according to QCD, m = 0.0 MeV), and a Gamma
particle (according to QCD, m = 0.0 MeV) therefore: 939.57 – 938.28 - 0.511 =
0.78 MeV/c2 (another unaccounted for Mass Deficit).
a. Just how is it possible that three indivisible quarks could lose a material
mass of 0.78 MeV????????????????????????
b. Obviously, if it were finite, it could not. The answer to this mystery is
on Pages: 61-64, 69-73, 131-155.
c. And Obviously, the antineutrino is not Massless, although it cannot account
for the entire Mass Deficit on its own, nevertheless, it does carry away a
portion of the N1 mass, as follows: The Antineutrino has a mass of: m =
0.3406784 MeV/c2 .
d. If you would like to learn more about this, see Pages: 69-74, 158.
6. Another known nuclear event described as the process of Electron Capture
reveals additional irreconcilable problems with QCD! The unstable isotope of
Be-7, containing 4P and 3N will stabilize its nucleus utilizing the process of
Electron Capture, where an electron from the K-shell is captured by a proton,
discharging a neutrino and converts into a neutron, thus stabilizing the
nucleus and transforming into an isotope of Li-7, now containing 3P and 4N.
a. If we calculate this out, again, we will observe that a Mass Deficit exists
that QCD is unable to account for, but this time it exists in the negative.
938.28 + 0.511 = 938.791 MeV, not enough mass to form a neutron and a
neutrino: 938.791 – 939.57 = -0.78 MeV/c2 + v. Naturally, these figures are
based on Modern Theory and it becomes more confusing when we factor in the
discharged neutrino, thereby demonstrating further evidence of QCDs’ inability
to cope.
b. However, if you care to know what actually occurs with this event, see my
work, Pages: 136-137, 149.
7. Now, what about the Forces, which is one of the primary functions of QCD,
specifically intended as an explanation for the Strong and Weak interactions?
QCD is unable to define, express, nor explain the origin or source of any one
of the Nuclear Forces, referencing proton or neutron structure bonding,
nuclear bonding and Alpha decay.
a. Telling me that quarks stick together to form protons or neutron or other
hadrons or mesons because of opposite colors or colored gluons does not
explain anything????????????? There is absolutely no evidence that supports
the idea that opposite colors or flavors possess attractive forces sufficient
to maintain proton structure nor nuclear bonds.
b. Describing nuclear bonding as a function of tossing pions back and forth
does not explain the powerful bonds that must exist between nucleons, nor is
any attractive force associated with this described interaction with pions???
c. Under present theory, there are only three known attractive forces:
electric, magnetic, and gravitational. However, an in depth study of the
forces reveals that gravity exists only after the formation of subatomic
particles, or matter. Therefore, there must be another underlying force that
is responsible for nuclear bonding and proton & neutron structure and another
responsible for alpha decay.
d. The forces responsible for nuclear bonds are Electric, Magnetic, and a
third, which I call the MEG-Force. The forces responsible for alpha, beta and
gamma decay result from a conflict between the MEG-Force and an opposing
force, which I call the C-Force. If you would like to learn more, read Chapter
13.
8. And what about Gravity???? Just how does QCD explain this force, its source
or point of origin???? Obviously, it cannot, nor could it ever explain this
attractive force.
a. Gravity is a subatomic force, existing with the formation of matter and
since QCD is supposed to be responsible for nuclear bonds then it should be
able define all aspects of this force????
b. Yet, due to the ineffective principles of QCD it is unable to provide the
most basic or academic explanation to gravity.
c. Even Dr. Steven Weinberg (a major contributor to QCD) acknowledges that QCD
cannot account for the Forces. Read his article in the Dec. 1999 issue of
Scientific American.
d. If you would read Chapter 13, then you will have an understanding of
gravity.
9. The W, W, Z, and Higgs particles, which are all part of the QCD model, have
as many problems as do the quarks.
a. These bosons are gigantic (Ws’ = 82GeV, Z = 93 GeV), as compared to the
largest stable single particle known, the proton, (938.28 MeV).
b. Some how these semi-trucks are able to hide in a U-238 nucleus without
detection and miraculously, without increasing the mass of the U-238 atom.
c. Yet, the tiny Alpha particle that spontaneously discharges is detected
without difficulty???????
d. The workings of the Weak Interaction are explained in my work, see Chapters
9, 14.

I could provide you with hundreds of additional examples of nuclear events
that QCD cannot predict nor account for in any manner. However, my work has
been completely successful with each of these events, including all applicable
conservation laws, such as: all mass, all charges, and all decay products are
exactly accounted for, as well as the decay products precise configuration,
including the origin of each Force, and the processes leading to the formation
of matter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nobes writes: “Further, comeing from you this is almost a joke.”

Now! Now, this isn’t called for, I believe that I have answered your previous
question more than satisfactorily.

Nobes writes: “Your theory doesn't even provide a means of answering
questions.”

You must read it first before making such statements. My work explores
primarily the Fundamental Nuclear Level and the interactions that occur there;
if you would study it, then you will have no problem applying those
fundamental principles to all other nuclear levels and all nuclear
interactions and unknowns that you may wish to apply it to.

Nobes writes: “(remember those nasty ones that I asked the last time we
talked, H atom, etc., you claimed they were too difficult to answer)

This statement is absolutely UNTRUE and I would appreciate it if you would
refrain from misquoting me. I have never stated that or anything close to
that. Up to now, not one question was found to be too difficult for my work to
provide the answer. The questions that you asked me several months ago were
completely predicated upon the principles of QCD, necessary to justify certain
aspects of it. I informed you that because my work contradicts all aspects of
QCD, therefore it would be pointless to answer questions that were
specifically designed to reinforce QCD. However, if you will provide me with
the raw data of any nuclear experiment and the results, containing the mass,
charge and energy state of the products, the decay rates, etc, then I will be
provide you with the answers that you obviously need.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nobes writes: “Shall we run down (yet again) three successful QCD predictions

1) running of the strong coupling constant

2) cross section of e^{+}+e^{-} -> Hadrons

3) scaling violations in deep inelastic scattering”

Tell me Mr. Pamfiloff, what is your predictions for these three things?”

I hope that you don’t think that QCD is the only model supported by the
above????? And again, you provide no data, source or results related to the
above and it appears that these questions not are designed to extend
knowledge. I must assume that #2 refers to an electron/positron union that
transforms into a hadron, WHICH HADRON are you referring to? I assume you
refer to pions or kaons? Nevertheless, I am suspect as to your interpretation
of the results, here, and suspect that the results were modified or
fictionalized to conform to QCD predictions, because, you cannot create a 1000
lb. block of concrete from 10 lbs. of ingredients no matter how much water you
add. The -e (+) +e do not possess sufficient mass to form a hadron of a
greater mass than 1.0220 MeV, where the pion mass (+ & -) is 139.6, and (0) is
135.0, and the kaons have a mass from 493.7 to 497.7 MeV.
If you will provide me with the proper and full data, observations, and
results I will answer each of the above questions and interpret the results
relative to the Geatron principles of my work. This, then, will provide you
with an understanding of the event or interaction, never before experienced.
Please keep in mind that my work does not predict events that could not occur.

> In fact, QCD cannot predict nor account for the Mass Deficit relative
> to any nuclear interaction,

Nobes Writes: “???
What on Earth does this mean? QCD can, in principle, predict the nuclear
interaction. In practice getting precise numbers is hard. But 10% agreement
with a wide varity of Hadron properties is here, and the days of 1% agreement
are no more then 5-10 years away.”

I am sure that you now understand what I mean by Mass Deficit, as it was
explained above. You state that, “QCD can, in principle, predict the nuclear
interactions.”

Very sorry, but this is not good enough, “in principle” means that it doesn’t
have a clue!!!!!!!! My work is able to do this task exactly and precisely,
down to the Fundamental Mass of 0.018926578 MeV/c2

Then you follow by saying, “In practice getting precise numbers is hard”, hard
for QCD, but not hard for my work.

You follow with, “ But 10% agreement with a wide variety of Hadron properties
is here.” Nonsense, 10% within complete agreement or 90% is a fantasy,
especially if you consider that it is based on flawed principles and consider
the arguments above where, clearly, you are nowhere near 90%. My work will
give you 100% based upon logical conclusions, which in turn are based actual
experimental results, not one or two experimental results, but thousands.

Then you follow with, “and the days of 1% agreement are no more then 5-10
years away.” What does this mean? Are you saying that QCD will have 99%
agreement with all nuclear interactions and unify all forces in 5-10 years?
Then I can assure you that if you stay with QCD, its 1000 or 5000 years away,
but most likely, never. At present, QCD is completely ineffective relative to
any force. Read Dr. Weinbergs’ article. How would you like 100% today, read my
work?

Nobes Writes: “Again, I strees that _all_ work in the field, has confirmed
QCD. The DESY expeirments, along with the TeVatron, CESR, etc. *all* confirm
QCD.”

Wrong! Wrong! The work in the field that you refer to will also confirm many
opposing theories and models. The problems rest with your desire to confirm
QCD and your interpretation of the results. You are looking at these
experiments only from QCDs’ point of view, try another angle. If you will
provide me with the entire experimental data, including input and the exact
results, I will explain these results to you.

Nobes Writes:
“BS. I've seen your book, it's not even a theory. You provide no (none,
nada, zip) algorithm for computing _anything_.”

I have read and studied QCD and the majority of the interpretations that
support it, but you have only,” Seen My Manuscript”. This statement supports
my contention that you have not read it.

You state that, “You provide no (none, nada, zip) algorithm for computing
_anything_.”

Nonsense! My work provides more than a sufficient math framework to obtain the
desired results. My work is not a math textbook, nor would I presume to teach
math to fellow scientists. The work was written, such, that any second or
third year college science major, who has completed algebra and trigonometry,
will be able to utilize my work and thereby obtain the tools necessary to
analyze the results of any nuclear experiment.

For example: P = m / Pfc

This will allow us to obtain the exact number of fundamental particles
contained within any known mass, where m = mass, Pfc = (0.018926578 MeV/c2),
the Pamfiloff Fundamental Constant.

Then, if the new laws of physics, as described in my work, are applied, the
exact rudimentary structure of any known particle can be determined. This
means, any known particle, from those elementary chips subject to decay to
larger stable subatomic, including those larger transitional particles such as
the Hyperons.

Second example: The Pi-meson ?+ = 139.6 MeV:

139.6 / Pfc = 7,376 fundamental particles
This figure includes one extra A-particle relative to B-particle totals, which
accounts for its positive charge (+). To determine its exact rudimentary
structure, you would have to follow the Geatron principles. In my work I
provide you with the exact rudimentary composition of the Neutrino, the
Antineutrino, the Electron, the Positron, two formations of the Neutron and
two formations of the Proton. I also include enough information so that the
rudimentary composition of any known particle can be precisely determined; see
the examples on Pages: 38, 40, 184, 188.

Dear Dr. Pamfiloff,

It has been a while since you heard from me. I finished the book but I keep

If your were able to put QCD aside just long enough to read my work, I
recommend reading it in the order written, I am confident that you will obtain
some lasting benefit from it. I know that it is impossible to address every
universal question that may me asked in one small book and that ultimately it
may require several thousand such books. Nevertheless, my work addresses the
most important events, such as the origin, source and workings of all of the
known forces, the fundamental particles that are responsible for the forces,
and it addresses how these fundamental interactions lead to the formation of
all known particles and finally matter.

From this, it could be considered that I have only opened a new door that will
now lead us down a new path, if followed, and this will allow us to explore
the universe from a different perspective. Mr. Nobes, this is where talented
persons, such as yourself could contribute greatly to our knowledge. Your
extensive background and knowledge in particle physics coupled with your
understanding of the most recent accelerator experiments would be
indispensable to such a venture. I believe that you have a duty to consider
and address the potential problems of QCD, as those that I have brought to
your attention.

Sincerely,

Right. Matthew has surely already explained that to you.

A direct evidence: the ratio, sigma denoting a total cross section,
R = sigma(e+ e- --> quark anti-quark --> hadrons)
/sigma(e+ e- --> mu+ mu-)
QED predicts that the result is proportional to the sum of the squares
of the charge of the quark which can be produced. At the lowest order
of perturbation theory R is 3 times this sum. This dependence on the
charges comes from the following Feynman diagrams:

e+ quark
\ /
\ /
\ /
\ gamma,Z /
X-------------X V
/ \
/ \
/ \
/ \
e- anti-quark


The vertex V gives a contribution equal to the common square of the
charges of the quark and the anti-quark. One must then sum on all types
of quarks.

So below the production threshold of the top, one has d,u,s,c,b
R = 3 ( (1/3)^2 + (2/3)^2 + (1/3)^2 + (2/3)^2 + (1/3)^2 ) = 11/3
and you see explicitely the apparition of a factor 1/3 which would not
be there if quarks did not have fractional charges.

You have already said that ...

Protons are not made of 3 quarks and 8 gluons. Very naively there is an
infinite number of quarks and gluons in a proton. What matter in high
energy physics are the probabilities to find in a proton of momentum p
a parton of momentum x p where 0 < x < 1 (parton means quark,
anti-quark or gluon). These probabilities increase very quickly when
x->0, i.e. there are a awful lot of partons with a small momentum.

> then where did the hundreds of elementary chips come from

??????? Again very naively, are you not aware of the equivalence
mass-energy ? The energy of the two initial particles is converted in
new particles. You should learn quantum field theory before trying to
criticize it with classical reasonings. It is not like a collision
between balls of sand during which the number of grain is conserved.
Not at all.

New quarks are produced by the energy of the collisions which form
hadrons.

Charges of what ? Hadrons can only have the following electrical
charges: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2. The hundreds you are talking about are just
the charge of the nuclei, i.e. multiples of the charge of the proton.

Where did you get these values ? To determine the mass of the light
quarks u,d and s is a complicated business but 1998 best estimate (PDG
1998) gave
u : 1.5 to 5 MeV
d : 3 to 9 MeV

There is no mass deficit. The sum of the masses of the 3 valence quarks
is much less than the mass of the proton. That's because of the cloud
of quark anti-quark pairs and gluons that surround them. They have
energy and this gives most of the total mass

Same as above. You forge a non-existing mass deficit by using far too
big quark masses.

???????? Energy and momentum are conserved but not the sum of masses.
Learn special relativity for god sake.

QCD deals only with the strong interaction. For the weak interaction we
have the electroweak theory of Glashow-Salaam-Weinberg.

I could explain that to you but considering how shallow and hollow is
your knowledge of particle physics it would require an awful lot of
energy I do not have after having spent the night outside. Next time if
Matthew does not draw his guns first :-)

This requires a completely seperate assumption about quarks,
specifically, that they CAN form particles with fractional charges.
There would need to be a particular reason to suppose this.

This, of course, is simply the first objection again.

This indicates an astounding ignorance of quantum physics, since pair
production is a rather elementary thing that ANY good quantum theory
must clearly include. As well, the claim for the number of gluons is
quite silly, since the number of gluons is constantly changing, and
never knowable anyway, since all the gluons in the protons are virtual
in any case.

This is the same error as above, ignorance of pair production.

Again, the EXACTLY DENTICLE error.

You really MUST go learn about basic QM effects, in this case the
effects of the little thing called binding energy. Essentially, a
system of particles in a bound state has less energy than a system of
otherwise identicle particles in an unbound state. Since the base
masses for elementary particles are given for unbound states, the
total mass of a bound system is going to be less than this. This is
clearly NOT a new effect in QCD, since it is well known from nuclear
physics.

Again, identicle error as above. You seem to have a habit of treating

The complete interaction obviously does NOT correspond to your claims,
since there is NO reason to suppose that neutrinos are massless (and
VERY good reasons to think that they ARE massive). As to the alleged
mass deficit, this is yet ANOTHER examplke of your ignorance of basic
QM processes and effects, the third identicle mistake from ignorance
in a row.

This is an unlikely mass, seeming rather high for the type of neutrino

Other, of course, than the fact that the PREDICTIONS of that model

What are you prattling on about? Where did this delusion that there
are PIONS involved in the interaction come from?

>c. Under present theory, there are only three known attractive forces:
>electric, magnetic, and gravitational.

OK, you only listed TWO forces, since electricity and magnetism are
THE SAME THING. There are, of course, three forces with notably
attractive effects, and those are electromagnetism, gravity, and the
strong force. Of course, we already know how the electromagnetic
force combines with the weak nuclear force, so we actually have a
model that only HAS those three forces in it that is already very good
at predicting results. The next step is to figure out how the strong
force goes in there in precise detail (getting there) and then put in
gravity (also in progress).

>However, an in depth study of the

Well, since there always WERE matter particles in the universe, this
doesn't really MATTER.

>Therefore, there must be another underlying force that

Yes, the protons and neutrons are bound together by the strong force,
and the electroweak force is generally responsible for nuclear decay.

Why make up MORE forces, when you don't even know about the REAL ones?

Since QCD is about quarks and gluons, and gravity is mediated by
GRAVITONS, there is no way to deal with gravity inside QCD.

Why would it NEED to explain gravity? On th scales where QCD normally
operates, gravity is vanishingly weak. In fact, it is essentially NOT
THERE are normal circumstances, and even under the kinds of
experiments we can actually perform.

This is like objecting to networking theory on the grounds that it

QCD is ONLY about the strong force, not any of the other forces.

Wrong again, and again from ignorance. The W+, W-, and Z0 are part of
the electroweak unification model, and the Higgs boson is part of a
class of theories about how particles come to have their masses. None
of these is part of QCD, although the GU theories incorporate both the
electroweak and strong forces, and any completely unified theory must
explain how the particles come to have their masses, and this oviously
will need a mechanism EQUIVALENT to the Higgs mechanism, even if it
doesn't actually turn out to be the Higgs are anything similar.

Actually providing ANY would have been nice, since you failed to

You should have read the equation in question, which states hadronS.
Not only ddoes this generally produce more than one type of hadron, it
can easily produce more than one type EACH TIME IT OCCURS. All there
needs to be is enough energy available to produce the
particle-antiparticle pair.

Literally ANY hadron or combination of hadrons can be produced in such
an interaction. All you need to do is have enough energy present to
produce the required particle-antiparticle pairs.

Make up your alleged mind. Does your analogy talk about only ten

Were you familiar with QM, you would not be able to avoid knowing that
the energy available for the formation of new particle in this
interaction is the TOTAL ENERGY of the collision and annihilation,
which is the summ of the total energy of EACH particle in any given
frame, both its rest mass AND kinetic energy. So, if you were to
collide the particles with 1 GeV of kinetic energy each, then you
would obviously get a little over 2 GeV of available energy in the
interaction, which could create MANY new particles. If you would go
and learn about PAIR PRODUCTION and BINDING ENERGY, many of your
embarassing errors could be corrected.

Were you familiar with the meaning of the phrase 'in principle', you

vastly preferable to go do it some other way'.

Fascinating, praise from someone who could not be expected to have
more than a thin grasp of QCD to begin with. (This rather reminds me
of a superficially impressive group of supporters of Velikovski that I
heard on radio a year or two back. It even included a university
proffesor. Of course, he was an ENGLISH prof, and not ANY sort of
scientist, and was thus not able to make any sort of RATIONAL
evaluation of the drivel in question, so the whole bunch lost even the
PRETENSE pf credibility.)

Mr Pampiloff
ignorance and lack of intellectual integrity of your critics
is reaching new records therefore you are not alone
i am going to give you a hand,
first a little advise;
do not attack the 'bull' against his horns but against
his big mass soft belly
here the methaphor is not just a methaphos but more than that
the 'bull' has some general resemblence to structure of the
nuclei (only methaphorically!)
the horns are the edge of it where the electric charge is.
in that location i suggest for you to tend to agree to the
QCD people because it deems to have experimental eveidence
but we have not only the horns!
we have a big massive body of it at the 'middle' in which qcd
people are not only ignorant but they are dishonest!
dishonest to admit that they have no idea whats going there
they admit that all quark mass is abut lets say 20 meve
(which btw i agree because i have another unknown yet cross
verification
for it) no where is the 1000 - 20 9roughly) deficit
from here start ignorance and worse than that - intended deception
9they quard their source of economic living -just simple as that)
(at least for some of them)

you cannot say while you are askes : that most mass of the nucleid
is 'lots of quarks gluons' etec without detailing
or ellse you are an irresponsible scientist.
because here they *obfuscate* the fact that the main mass body of the
nucleid in still unknown to them
and while we say the main body in unknown that takes the ground under
the quark theory who _pretended to know it as composed mainly of
3 quarks - and now while in dead end in many aspects they
'add on it ' more subparticles than the orriginal theory was based on .

and now a second point: listen carefully to 'old Catto'saind:

while you deal with the intrinsic *permanent* structure of
a permanent particle and involving there relativity
you are not only an ignorant but a croock as well.
relativity does not belong to the permanet (to any of )
permanent mass calculaition!
it belongs only to big particles or subparticles the
move in a straght line to distances much bigger than the
nuc sizs it was invented to the outer nuc world
not the inner permanent movement inside the nucleus.

the microcosm has rules that are different from macrocosm
and you cannot 'import 'blindly' from outside to the 'inside'

in short : while you deal with the inner permanent structure
of the nucleid -- forget about relativity.
and i have some news for you ; we can get very well there
without relativity (thats a word of expert No 1 today of nuclear
structure binding energies etc)
and if mentioning binding energies in which i am an expert-
those are wonderfull tools for verifications or disverifications
of nuclear arguments like our issue:
as i said before i have binding energies of a few mevs all along the
periodic table .now bindind energies if you whant or not
are the best evidence for strong forces.
and if they are only 5 7 10 mev
than the particles involved with it are no more than that.
the heavy nuclei while composed or discomposed use only
those 10 mev subparticles (i dont have to remind you that
energy is just particles as well) no more than that
and they get along nicely with those 10 mev subparticles
if you want this is the cross verification for the 5 7 10
mev 'quarks' (which acording to my findings are as well
not end particles but instead chains of smaller subparticles.

so bottom line; we realy find eveidence for subparticles
of ... atmost 20 mev
but now the punch line all the 1000 - 20 mev
is still unknown and has nothing to do with the quarks
(the quarks are the 'horns' remember?)
the big fat belly of the bull is unknown and no quarks
9bacuse no electric charge there! the electric charge is only
outwards!
now if you want to give me some credit
have a look at my site and get a little less skeptic about
what i tell you
9the site is only the home made tip of the iceberg)

all the best

Yes. I am angry at the imposition of having my files crowded twice with
that garbage.
I subscribed to this newsgroup in the hope (apparently vain) of reading
something about the current state of particle physics, and not to be drowned
by the stuff written by people who ought to familiarise themselves with the
status of particle physics theory and/or experiments before pontificating.

Your last sentence above would have been better if you had stopped it

Sigh, I already have. The quarks are "dressed" by their interactions with
the surrounding (very strong) chromodynamic field. This is qualativily
simliar to what happens to electrons in various condensed matter systems.

For a numerical demonstration search LANL's nuclear theory section for a
paper by C.D. Roberts, entitled (something like) tools for
non-perturbative QCD. He's got a really nice plot of the mass increase as
a function of energy.

can I have my $100000 now?

Yes, but at threshold no extra quarks would be needed in the e+ e-
reaction he described. The q-qbar is a meson (e.g. charmonium).
But this is not what is done at Fermilab, since they start with
hadrons. Look that the BNL data for the J/psi and you will see
the smearing that results from light quarks being involved in
forming the new state. For top it is worse, since the t + tbar
don't last long enough to form a meson.

But that was not his point. What I think was being overlooked is that

So much for being subtle. ;-) His next comment made it clear
that he was saying that other quark production is just as likely.
And it is. Ther is a huge background of other hadrons.

That idea has been around for a while. I don't know the papers, but I
have seen at least two review talks on it at APS/DPP (division of plasma
physics) and IAEA Fusion meetings. Look up the Bulletin of the APS (one
issue per year has the abstracts for APS/DPP) from around 1991-3 and
IAEA Fusion papers from 1994 (or 1996).

Mr Nobes
i am quite sure that if you are a serious scintist
not just a paper matemeticen that has no physical approach
than *you youself are not sure about what you are claiming.
because to take 7 proven mevs and to inflate them to 300
lets say it mildly - does not make common sense.
it is the system of 'first shooting and than puting the target
at the hit place'
you have in hand 7 mevs and you know that 'you have to get to 300'
than you dress it 'exactly as your target needs'
that is not convincing! that smells bad.
now i told you it is not only a matter of 'smell'
i told you that i in a completely differnt approach came to those
7 meves to be the binding energy of the nucleid.
is the nucleid is composed of some subparticles with that amount
at the edges of it that are trherfore less stable than the main body
of the nuc and therefore are shot out (also because the are at the
edges!) so they are shot out and they are the most valnerable
parts of the nuc.
this is the same reason why is 'quark experiments' these are
the subparticles that 'show off' and are detected by any of the
detectors that we posess.
thing are cross verified
but still you didnt get the main moral of it:
those 7 mevs are the unstable shot out parts, now comes the main point
for you:
those are the 'loose ' parts it means that all the rest
98 percect of the nuc is not some 'dressind' it is the main hard body
that makes our world of matter includind mine and yours1
this is not a dressing body but the main real and constant and stable
matter,
what you did and probably QCD is to turn all upsidedoun:
to make the marginal -the main
and to turn the main into marginal.
if peole are wasting resourses on such a .....(i will not say it)
than it is very bad
now a btw remark:
do you remember what where the terms of my prise?
( i didnt mention it before because it was interesting for me to go on
and here you arguments because unlike you i am never 100 percrntsure
and always readty to here another oppinion)
my terms were to show that the nucleiod is composed of
8only 3 quarks* and that obviously not right even acording to you
so in any case we did some agreement and it is never harmfull
to exchange ideas and findings

so old Catto saied: the main body of the nucleid,does not include
no Quarks and no Shmaks
people are waisting time and energy on false models

1) I am quite sure of what I am saying

2) as I pointed out the "dressing" of quarks is *very* simliar
to the notion of an effective mass in condensed matter
physics. Does it not make sense in that field as well?

> it is the system of 'first shooting and than puting the target
> at the hit place'

No it is not. The numerical computations I referenced *do*not*
assume the answer. They illustrate that QCD is capable of
generating energy dependant quark masses.

Read the paper I mentioned. Also learn some physics, this
sort of thing happens all the time.

Old Catto is (let me confess my sins) is myself
while i am sure as the original Catto (read some Romen history)
and i am tiered of explaning things i use Catto technique
to repeat things in a condensed way untill it
penetrates poples mind.
Now Mr Nobes
i have a horrible feeling that our above discussions contributed
something very important to science, while you have some share in it
see my new thread: Quarks are associated with binding energies'

i mentioned you there as a contributer

now another btw remark to our issue in a methaphoric way (-:)

did it at any time happened to you that you dressed clodes
that where much heavier than you yourself?
ie the dressing is heavier than the dressed body?
just a commonsense idea.
if the dressing is heavier than yourself that that combination has to
change names:
no more Matthew Nobes but 'heavy clothing enntity'- you name it
but in a new name nut now more the 'Quark name'
if you do that i join you
btw that is what i claim in my new above thread.
i put it in a humouristic way but it is more serious than it apears.

I can go allong with the proposition that quarks are structures of e-p pairs.
However I am not sure what you mean by only being a small part of the nucleus.

More importantly, it ignores the fact that deep inelastic scattering
experiments have determined the electric and weak charges of the
quarks as well as their spin, so the "assignment" of fractional
charges to them has been tested experimentally.
