An Original Didactic of the Standard Model “The Particle’s Geometric Model” (Nucleons and K-Mesons)

Abstract

This paper shows a didactic model (PGM), and not only, but representative of the Hadrons described in the Standard Model (SM). In this model, particles are represented by structures corresponding to geometric shapes of coupled quantum oscillators (IQuO). By the properties of IQuO one can define the electric charge and that of color of quarks. Showing the “aurea” (golden) triangular shape of all quarks, we manage to represent the geometric combinations of the nucleons, light mesons, and K-mesons. By the geometric shape of W-bosons, we represent the weak decay of pions and charged Kaons and neutral, highlighting in geometric terms the possibilities of decay in two and three pions of neutral Kaon and the transition to anti-Kaon. In conclusion, from this didactic representation, an in-depth and exhaustive phenomenology of hadrons emerges, which even manages to resolve some problematic aspects of the SM.

1. Introduction

Starting from some peculiar aspects, such as analogies and some indicative phenomena, we proceeded to formulate a representation in which the particles have a structure with a “geometric” shape. The educational model (and not only) is defined as the Particles’ Geometric Model (PGM). In this paper, after a detailed synthesis of the quarks, we proceed to show the geometric model of nucleons and K-mesons. In Section 2.1, starting from a “golden” relation between the Compton lengths of the proton and that of Planck, the first didactic idea of a geometric representation of the quarks constituting a proton is formulated. The second teaching idea is to build triangles by coupling quantum oscillators (IQuO) composed of elementary “sub-oscillators” with “semi-quanta” (sq()) of energy moving along the sides. To adequately represent a particle, we formulate the idea, not only didactic, that triangular structures can propagate along a “guide” and rotate around this line, thus physically carrying out the spin. In the same section, we formulate the hypothesis that the value of the electric charge is given by the probability of detecting the quantum () of energy [ = (,)] along the propagation side. The idea of IQuO (Intrinsic Quantum Oscillator) allows us to determine the direction of phase rotation, to which one associates the sign of electric charge. After, we give also the characteristic of an IQuO(n=0) on which one builds the representation of a gluon, and, thus, highlights the color charge. In Section 2.2 we construct the charged pions composed of two triangles (u, d) and we give the values of the bound masses of the quarks (u, d) and, by the neutral pion, also them “electromagnetic” masses. In the same section, the neutral pion is represented as a particular combination () of four quarks (u, u, d, d) constituting so a first example of a “molecule” of quarks. The operation represents a “dynamic” coupling between quarks with energy exchanges (sq()) in which the quarks “interpenetrate” reciprocally as happens in the oscillations of different waves that cross each other. Through this operation, it is possible to define the structure equation, with which it is possible to define and calculate the spin and parity of the hadron (pion). To follow, the configurations of light mesons (, , ) are presented, understood as combinations of pion molecules, and their structural equations with the calculation of their masses. In Section 2.3, exploiting a geometric property of golden triangles, the geometric shapes of the strange quark and the charm quark are shown, introducing the didactic hypothesis of “sub-quarks”. Having thus defined a geometric structure of light quarks, we move on to show the structure of the remaining quarks, geometrically demonstrating that only “six structures” of quarks can exist. In the Section 3 one shows the geometric structures of nucleons. We highlight two possible configurations of each of two nucleons: [(Ψ1p, Ψ2p), (Ψ1n, Ψ2n)], in which the first is defined as “kinetic” while the second is “static”. In the case of the proton (Section 3.1) the first configuration (Ψ1p) concerns protons bound in a nucleus (see the ECM effect) or in the Hydrogen atom. The second configuration (Ψ2p) represents “free” oscillations of a proton propagation. Besides, in Section 3.2 we show the configurations of the free neutron (Ψ1n) and those of the deuteron, tritium, and alpha particle. By the geometric structure of a neutron, one demonstrates that its moment of electric dipole is zero while that magnetic is not zero. We also show the interaction configuration of a proton with a neutron mediated by a neutral pion (strong Yukawa interaction). In Section 3.2 the second configuration of the neutron (Ψ2n) is presented, see the neutron decay anomaly, and that of the neutral pion (Ψ2π). Both (Ψ2n) and (Ψ2π) can be related to dark matter due to their “stativity” and non-interaction (strong, weak, and electromagnetic) with the matter. We show that a proton can contain within its geometric structures with sub-quarks, as if it were also composed of strange quarks; this aspect is highlighted in certain experiments of internal exploration of a proton, where the researchers speak of an internal “sea” of light and strange quarks. It is shown, in Section 4.1, that the mass is defined precisely by the additional coupling that constructs the geometric shape. This aspect introduces a “new paradigm” in the physics of particles: these cannot be described as point particles but as spatial structures. In Section 4.2, we attempt to represent the weak interaction by describing the quadrangular geometric shape of the vector bosons (W±). After, we show the decay of the pion through the W± lattice. This happens because the (u, d) quarks can be inserted into the W boson, thus defined as golden, and through W transform into each other. In Section 4.3 the structure of charged and neutral Kaons is given, also calculating the spin and parity. In Sections 4.4 and 4.5, we represent the decay process of the K-meson by the coupling (according to the operation) between the Kaon structure and that of a lattice of W± bosons, thus changing the interaction mode described in the current literature (a new descriptive paradigm is so given in physics).

2. The Hypothesis of Structure

2.1. The Geometric Representation of Quarks

In this section, we give a synthesis of the representative didactic ideas of quarks. We found between Compton’s wavelength (Δpl) and (Δp) there is a golden relation [1], at less than a scale s-factor (10)19: [n(pl,p) = ()2s/2], with () the “aureus” (golden). We find golden relations in a pentagon between the side (base) and apothem. Recall the protons are composed of three quarks: three centres of elastic diffusion which could indicate an internal “geometric structure” of the proton. Then, we formulate the Didactic Idea (1): “A proton has a pentagonal geometric structure Ψ1p where its three component quarks are coincident with three constituent triangles of a pentagon. The quarks (u,d) are represented by “golden triangles, see Figure 1:

Figure 1. Geometric structure at quark of the proton.

This conjecture has physical sense if we admit the Didactic Idea (2): “some quantum oscillators can couple to build a geometric figure[2]. Then, we place three quantum oscillators (IA, IB, IC) at the vertices (A, B, D) and three junction oscillators (IAB, IBC, ICA), see Figure 2:

Figure 2. Geometric Structure of quark (u, d).

Weindicate by the acronym “IQuO” (Intrinsic Quantum Oscillator) the oscillators of coupling building a geometric structure. Note that the oscillations of IQuO are longitudinal along the sides. The structure of coupled oscillators (IQuO) is possible only if the IQuO oscillators [3] [4] are decomposed into several oscillating or “sub-oscillators” with energy at “semi-quanta” (sq()): 1 quantum () = (,) 2 sq().

From oscillations’ theory, for any n, one has:

[ H ( n ) ]=[ U ( n ) + K ( n ) ]=[ ( U ( n ) ) el +( K ( n ) ) ] =[ ( 2n+1 ) ( 1 4 ω ) el +( 2n+1 ) ( 1 4 ω ) in ] =[ ( 2n ) ( 1 4 ω ) el +( 2n ) ( 1 4 ω ) in ]+[ ( 1 4 ω ) el + ( 1 4 ω ) in ] (1)

From this equation, it derives conjecture that the energy value of [( = 1/4h)], indicated as an “empty” semi-quantum with the symbol (o). Note IQuO(n=1) is [(o, ) + (o, )].

In Figure 2 there are two “golden” triangles, with IQuO in eigenstate n = 1 (IAB) and n = 2 (all other IQuO). Recall the IQuO(n=2) has three sub-oscillators. We used the following representation, Figure 3, where we highlight the presence of [sq(o,), sq (o, o)] in each sub-oscillator of vertex:

Figure 3. The three IQuO vertices.

Note the sub-oscillators (SA2, S B2, SC2) are very important: we conjecture that they can originate the “gluons” from which emerge the hadronic jets (two or three jets) in the experiments to the CERN or the Fermilab. We stated that to have a “compact” triangular structure (golden) the junction oscillators and vertex ones need to be “wedged” one inside the other (superpositions of IQuO). In this case, on each oblique side we must have two junction oscillators, with n = 2, (IBF, IDC; IAE, ICG) and on the base side another junction oscillator (IAB), see Figure 4(a), Figure 4(b):

(a)

(b)

Figure 4. (a) The junctions in a quark; (b) the junctions in a quark.

At each junction, [(H, D, F) (H, G, E)], there will be a phase shift during the couplings between the sub-oscillators, but to each phase shift follows a phase adaptation for realize the coupling. Each phase adaptation of the overlapping IQuOs identifies a degree of freedom in the structure to which we assign a “color”, see Figure 4. It is understood that the degrees of freedom are associated with transformations operating on the phase of the oscillation, that is they are “gauge” transformations. The overlapping of IQuO origins a double coupling along the sides. Note a double sub-oscillator in the state of an “excited vacuum” (one only sq () in one only IQuO) constitute a “gluon”. In conclusion, a quark is a structure of coupled gluons. A last note, the sub-oscillators (SA2, SC2) will perform a very important function: they will be available to be hooked by a line (guide rail) of B-type quantum oscillators (Bosons) which will allow the triangular structure of “roto-translate” along it. The “gluon boson” becomes so the gauge field that adapts the phase shifts in the junction for maintain the structure and to allow to this (in moment eigenstate) to propagate along an axis.

Didactic Idea (3): A structure-particle, in an eigenstate of impulse (px), can propagate along a line (X-axis) or aguiderailgiven by line of oscillators of a gauge base field (waveguide)” [6].

Didactic Idea (4): We indicate in the triangle-structure the particle the sign ± of the electric charge (q), the possible proper rotation of the structure or spin’ (s) and the direction of the () ‘flow vectorof the internal quanta sq () to the oscillators of the structure”, Figure 5:

Figure 5. Geometric Structure of quark (u, d).

The direction v of propagation of the particle coincides with the direction of the flux along the propagating side (the one lying along the X axis: v).

Didactic Idea (5): The value of the electric charge will be given by the probability P() of detecting the quantum () along the propagating side[1].

By the number of quanta () in Figure 5, we find:

q( d )=P ( ) d =1/3 , q( u )=P ( ) u =+2/3 .

The doubling of the energy in a quantum oscillator with sub-oscillators determines the doubling of the components of each quantization operator (a, a+) [3], that is [ ( a el , a el + ),( a in , a in + ) ] . Let us then correspond to each component of the operators(a, a+) a sq(o, ) with their respective elastic and inertial characteristics; we will have the following representation of IQuO, Figure 6:

Figure 6. Two IQuO with phase rotation opposites.

The IQuO with phase rotation opposites is said: B-IQuO (Boson type). The aspect 2-dim of the oscillation determines an oscillator with an internal degree of freedom extra whit two eigenvalues (the two directions of phase rotation) [3] [5]. Coupling two B-IQuO, we obtain an IQuO with mono-direction of phase rotation, Figure 7:

Figure 7. Two IQuO with equal operators in the phase rotation but with opposite rotations.

These IQuO are F-IQuO, different from those of B-type (Boson).

Didactic Idea (6): We associate the ± sign of electric charge to the directions of the phase rotation: Direction clockwise (−e), Direction anticlockwise (+e)”.

A B-IQuO coupling with a F-IQuO reads the direction of rotation of the phase of F-IQuO: this boson is the photon. An IQuO(n=0) in the vacuum state has an only sub-oscillator. We associate [5] to the configurations of the sq(o, ) a “color” and an anti-color, and a “gluon” to them superpositions (Didactic Idea (7)), see Figure 8:

Figure 8. The representation of the gluon BY.

So, the gluon has two colors. The gluons of the guideline have two functions:

  • A phase-shifting “action” which allows the structure to compact and for the two sq() to flow, see Figure 9, along the sides. In one period we will thus have the alternation of three values of adaptation phase shift: the quark will vary in color three times in the rotation period of the two sq().

  • The second function is to allow the propagation of structure along the axis. It follows that, see Figure 9:

Figure 9. Distribution of the three colors (R, Y, B) of phase shift in the sub-oscillators of the sides. Note the temporary red color of the quark in the sq of the three vertices.

2.2. The Mesons

Didactic Idea (8): There is the possibility that two quarks can bind along the propagation side and generate a realparticle, the pion[1], see Figure 10:

Figure 10. Geometric form of the charged pion.

We pose the masses of quarks bound in a pion:

[ m ( d ) π =( 86.26 ) MeV/ c 2 ,m ( u ) π =( 53.21 ) MeV/ c 2 ]

Finally, note, in Figure 10, that Φπ vx. We can describe a hadron by a “structure equation” built on the component quarks. We have:

π ± =( u _ d ), π 0 =[ ( π + ) _ ( π ) ] (2)

The operation () is (here, it is expressed in intuitive way) a combination of two operations [ (, )], where -operation describes the property of “interpenetration” of the quarks (structures with oscillations), instead, the-operation describes “dynamics interactions” with the exchange of sq(). The neutral pion is a unique elementary particle: its components [(u, d) and (u, d)] are reciprocallyinterpenetrating(Didactic Idea (9)). As in literature [7] [8], now the “spin” is:

s( π ± )=[ s( u )+s( d ) ]=0 and s( π 0 )=[ s( u 1 )+s( d _ 1 ) ]+[ s( u 2 )+s( d _ 2 ) ]=0

From its structure equation, we have, see Figure 11:

Figure 11. Configurations of neutral pion.

The structure of Figure 11 predicts the decay of neutral pion in two photons caused by annihilation of two quark pairs [(u, u), (d, d)] along the side BD or axis X. The annihilation process defines the “electromagnetic mass” of quarks:

m em ( u )=( 3.51 ) MeV/ c 2 , m em ( d )=( 5.67 ) MeV/ c 2 .

From structure equation of charged pion one has the parity of pions [9]:

P( π ± )=1 , P( π 0 )=1

Didactic Idea (10)Light mesons are structures composed of pion molecules”.

The -meson has the structure following [10]:

η= [ ( π + π ) 1 ( π + π ) 2 ]=[ ( π 0 ) r1 _ ( π 0 ) r2 ]

where ( π 0 ) r = ( π + π ) is a molecule of pions. The structure is, Figure 12:

Figure 12. Decays of -meson.

There are four possible particles (π+, π, π0, γ) with the following combination or channels:(π+, π, π0)(23%), (π0, π0, π0)(33%), with a virtual lattice π0, (γ, γ)(39%), (π+, π ,γ) (5%), ((e + e+), γ) (see Figure 12).

Other mesons are [11] η = ( π 0 ) r ( η ) , and the -meson and -meson (with added the pair (d, d)π)

ρ={ ( d, d _ ) π [ 2η ( π 0 ) r ] }={ ( d, d _ ) p [ ( ηη ) ( π 0 ) r ] }

ω=[ 2 ( d, d _ ) p ][ ( π + π r 0 )( π π r 0 ) ]

2.3. The Construction of the Heavy Quarks (s, c)

Recall the geometric rule of golden triangles: in a golden triangle (u, d) it is possible to draw two other triangles (sub-triangles) inside, always of the type (u, d), which are indicated as (u, d) [2] [12]; then we have: Didactic Idea (11)In each quark (u*, d*) one can insert another pair of golden triangles of type (u, d) which give origin to sub-quarks (u, d) inside the tank quark (u*, d*)”.

So, we will have two possible configurations, see Figure 13:

Figure 13. Two possible configurations of composed quark.

We see the composed quarks have two forms: [d*, (u,d); u*, (u,d)].

The quarks (u*, d*) are called “tank” quarks because contain the “sub-quarks” (u, d). The first combination will give us the “strange” quark or s-quark (s) [9]. The second will give us the “charm” quark or c-quark (c) [13].

The electric charge is: q(s) = q([u*, (u, d)]) = −1/3, q(s) = q([u*, (u, d)]) = +1/3.

Recall the “weak Isospin” in quarks: the s-quark is of d-type. Then, we will have, see Figure 14:

Figure 14. The quark s and the antiquark s.

Figure 13(b) represents the c-quark, with the structure: c = [d*, (u, d)]. The electric charge will be given by q(c) = q([d*, (u, d)] = q(d*) + q(u) + q(d)] = q(u) = +2/3.

Recall the “weak Isospin”. Note Tz(c) = +1/2, the c-quark is type up (u).

The other possibility of combinations gives the other quarks. The b-Quark:

q( b )=q( { d*[ u _ *[ ( u 1 , d 1 ) ], d _ ] } )=1/3 , q( b _ )=q( { d _ *[ u*[ ( u _ 1 , d _ 1 ) ],d ] } )=+1/3

Note Tz(b) = −1/2 , the b-quark is type up (d).

The t-quark: q(t) = q(u*[u*[(u1, d1)], d]) = +2/3 and Tz(t) = +1/2, the c-quark is type up (u).

In summary, we will only have “six” types of quarks [22] [23], see Figure 15:

Figure 15. The structure of the six quarks.

3. The Hadrons

3.1. The Nucleons

The diffusion experiments (e + p) determine the quarks structure of the proton [14], in “parton” model, Figure 16:

Figure 16. Quark configuration in parton model and in QCD.

We indicate by Ψ1p this structure state, which corresponds to the structure of Figure 1, with the three diffusing centres coinciding with the three vertices (ABD):

Didactic Idea (12):A proton belonging to a nucleus assumes the state configuration of the Figure 1, called static proton, with the u-quarks in theperipheryrespect to d-quark”.

(Physical Aspect) This because the u-quarks are attracted to other quarks from other nucleons. However, since the parton model was formulated in experiments with electrons (bullets) and hydrogen H (target), we could conjecture that also in a hydrogen atom the proton is arranged in the Ψ1p configuration. The “static” term says to us that the “indivisible” proton having two propagation axes, see Figure 1, cannot move in any direction. This aspect determines that the proton can become an aggregation centre gravitational and nuclear of matter. For a moving “free” proton, instead, we formulate the following idea [15], Figure 17.

Didactic Idea (13): We indicate by Ψ2p the following structure representation of a free proton”.

Figure 17. The geometric form (Ψ2p) of the free proton.

Here, a proton propagates along the X-direction coinciding with one of the sides of the geometric structure (we speak of “kinetic proton”). Also, in this structure we highlight three diffusing centres, the vertices (A, C, D) or (A, C, E). The presence of two configurations of quarks associated with a proton was highlighted in the “ECM” effect [16], found in a series of experiments with nuclear protons, see ref. [17]. The representation Ψ2p could correspond to an eigenstate of the momentum (px) of the proton along the X-axis, in the Reference Frame (RF) Slab, with uncertainty of x-position (see ΔxΔpx h) and wavelength (λp = h/px). In RF at rest S˚ the λpλp that is the Compton wavelength of the proton. Note that the structure-particle of IQuO, in a different RF (S), can have of the “relativistic deformations” but it remains invariant in geometric form. The movement along the X-axis of the particle-structure can be associated with a rotation of the quarks around the same X-axis. From the configurations of the charged pions and the neutral pion, see also Equation 2, we deduce, considering the spins, that the two u-quarks are paired, [s(u1) + s(u2)] = ± 1. This is confirmed by some recent experiments [18] [19]. Since the proton is a fermion then the following spin relation is admitted:

s( p )=s( d )+[ s( u 1 )+s( u 2 ) ]=s( u ) with [ s( u i )+s( d ) ]=0

Looking at the structure of the proton Ψ2p, we can draw the structure of the neutron, see Figure 18:

Figure 18. The geometric form of the neutron.

Since the neutron is a fermion then we find [19] that s(n) = s(u) + [s(d1) + s(d2)]. Having [s(di) + s(u)] = 0 → s(n) = s(d2), with the two d-quarks are paired, that is: [s(d1) + s(d2)] = ± 1. Since the neutron spin is coincident to that of d-quark then the neutron magnetic moment cannot be zero; instead, its electric dipole moment is zero since along the diagonal AC the electric charge is zero. So, in the PGM one shows in simple way the values of the magnetic moment and electric dipole of neutron. We represent the Deuteron and Tritium, Figure 19:

Figure 19. Deuteron Configuration and Tritium.

Recall that the neutron binds to the proton thanks to the strong force represented by overall “neutral” virtual pions. However, we note that the mass of the pions is about seven times smaller than that of the nucleon. In Compton lengths will instead be about seven times larger. It follows:

Didactic Idea (14)The long-distance interaction between proton and neutron mediated by a neutral pion [ n+( π v 0 )+p ][ n+p ] can be represented in the following way, see Figure 20”:

Figure 20. Interaction between proton and neutron by of the pion.

(Physical Aspect) This aspect is coherent with the Yucawa’s theory [20]. As they get closer, they always overlap within a neutral pion, assuming a larger size due to the loss of mass as binding energy. When the (n + p) system becomes bound but it is free of propagate then it could assume the configuration Ψ2p of Figure 17, where the pion of bind will have the same size as the two nucleons (the pion is not represented in Figure 20). Note the configuration is compatible with relativity and QM. In PGM we represent all the strong interactions as for example [π+ + p+ → Δ++], Figure 21:

Figure 21. Interaction π+ + p+→Δ++.

We can also construct the freely moving alpha particle, see Figure 22:

Figure 22. A free Alpha Particle structure.

The proton in shape Ψ1p will be called “static proton” and will participate in the formation of nuclei and atoms. So, in a nucleus the alpha particle is built with a “static” proton, see Figure 23:

Figure 23. Static configuration of the alpha particle into a nucleus.

The structure equations of nucleons are:

p= κ p ( u 1 _ d _ u 2 ) (3a)

n= κ n { [ ( d d _ ) ] A _ [ N a N b N c ] B } (3b)

(Physical Aspect) The i coefficient are connected to the elastic tensions between (IQuO) building the geometric structure [15] and the Ni are coefficients relative to (d, u, d) quarks combinations by two operations (, ). From these equations it is possible to derive them mass [15]. The pair (d, d) in the structure equation of the is the proof of a d, d background lattice [G] which mediates the interactions and allows the propagation of free neutron and its decay, Figure 24:

Figure 24. The neutron and the lattice d, d.

Note that the energy of the couple [ = (d, d)] is a bond energy that concerns the gluons (g), that is “gluon” energy [ = (d, d) = g g]. This aspect is present also in the structures of mesons [10].

Through the property of golden triangles it is possible to explain one of the current puzzles that have emerged from experimental studies on the structure of the proton, see experiments at CERN, ref. [21], the experimental discovery of quarks’ “sea” (s,c) inside the proton, Figure 25:

Figure 25. Configurations of nucleons with internal quarks (s, c).

3.2. The Anomalous Pion and Neutron

Didactic Idea (15) “There are two forms of structure in neutral pions and nucleons: one form is called kinetic” (ordinary and interacting) while the other is static” (not interacting)”, see Figure 26:

Figure 26. Configurations of neutral pion: a) anomalous pion (static), b) ordinary pion (kinetic).

Also, the neutron has two configurations: the one anomalous is, Figure 27:

Figure 27. The anomalous (static) neutron configuration.

(Physical Aspect) The physical behavior of these forms may be different since there are not all quarks on the propagation side, see Figure 26 and Figure 27. In the static shape of neutron its decay could be different from the ordinary one: in some experiments an anomaly in the decay of the free neutron was detected [22] [23]. Note that the anomalous shape has the following characteristics: the particle no propagates, no decay, no interaction (only gravitational). These characteristics could push us to conjecture the existence of some relationship with dark matter [24] [25]. Besides, anomalous particles and ordinary antiparticles could not annihilate, thus it is possible that the antimatter hides in galactic halos. This aspect could solve the problem of the asymmetry between matter-antimatter.

4. The W-Bosons Lattice

4.1. The Massive Coupling

We take into consideration the scalar equation describing massive particles with zero spin:

{ 2 Ψ( x,t ) x 2 2 Ψ( x,t ) c 2 t 2 = ( mc ) 2 Ψ( x,t ) }{ 2 Ψ( x,t )= ( mc ) 2 Ψ( x,t ) } (4)

{ E 2 = m 2 c 4 + p 2 c 2 ω 2 = ω 0 2 + k 2 c 2 } (5)

This equation also describes oscillations in a set of “pendulums” coupled through springs [26] with frequency . In analogy with this system, we connect the 0 toa particular elastic coupling (T0), see Figure 28, which is in addition to the one already existing between the oscillators of a massless scalar field (), as the springs. This “additional coupling” [1] [5] is referred to as a “massive coupling”:

Figure 28. The massive scalar field as a lattice of “pendulums” with springs.

In this way, we introduce a “new paradigm” in physical field theory: “the m mass is the oscillation frequency 0 (relative toa transversal elastic tension T0) of a structure of coupled quantum oscillators of field” (Didactic Idea (16)). The model that we develop considering the geometric aspect of a particle will be referred to as the “Particles Geometric Model”, with the acronym (PGM).

4.2. The Charge Pion Decay

Let’s remember the grid in Figure 28. The grid could represent a virtual lattice Wof bosons electrically charged, W±, with a sq() -flow along the sides, with phase rotation indicating an electric charge and a rotation, indicating the spin s, around the diagonals AiBi, lying along the propagation axes Xi of quanta, see Figure 29:

Figure 29. The W±-lattice with Compton wavelengths λw.

Didactic Idea (17)W±-bosons are golden rectangle and contain the golden d-quarks”. In the pion decay, we insert (u, d) quarks in a lattice W±, see Figure 30:

Figure 30. A d-quark embed in a lattice W±.

The sq() of the d-quark (ACE) runs along the ACd side. The ACd side belong also W-boson: [AC AC(W+)ABCD]. In C the sq()d enters the AC diagonal of (W+)ICLG, and, thanks to this, it transforms into a sq()+ becoming a sq()u+ of the u-quark (ACG). Having used the boson (W+)ABCD of the W± lattice, the W boson remains unpaired, and, thus, after decays. Didactic Idea (18). “The Feynman diagrams can be replaced in the -decay by lattice of bosons (W+, W) W”.

Then, we consider the reactions [(W u)→d, (W d)→u], see Figure 31:

Figure 31. Representative diagram of the pion decay by lattice W.

The W-boson falls into a local state (in the W lattice the W was in a non-local or virtual state) and, being no longer connected to the lattice but in a free “excited” state (it has absorbed the photon γ = (u, u)), thus it decays. The virtual photon, incorporated in W, participates in the formation of the muon in energy and spin. We consider that W = (W+ W) and π± = (u d); using the matrix form of (W, π), the spin (,) conservation tells us that:

( W W + ) _ ( u _ d )=( W _ u _ W + _ d )=( W _ u _ u )[ ( W _ u _ ) _ u ] =[ ( u _ u _ ) _ W ]=[ γ _ W ]=[ γ _ ( μ _ ν ) ] =[ ( γ _ μ ) _ ( ν ) ]( ν _ μ ) (6)

4.3. The Kaons

The Kaon structures will be: K0 = (s, d), K0 = (s, d) ; K+ = (s, u), K = (s, u). The charge is:

q( K + )=q( s _ ,u )=q{ [ u*,( u _ , d _ ) ] _ ( u ) }=q( u* )+q( u _ )+q( d _ )+q( u )=+1 (7a)

q( K )=q( s, u _ )=q{{ [ u _ *,( u,d ) ] _ ( u _ ) }=q( u _ * )+q( u )+q( d )+q( u _ )=1 (7b)

q( K 0 )=q( s _ ,d )=q{{ [ u*,( u _ ,d ) ] _ ( d ) }=q( u* )+q( u _ )+q( d _ )+q( d )=0 (7c)

q( K 0 )=q( s, d _ )=q{ [ u _ *,( u,d ) ] _ ( d _ ) }=q( u _ * )+q( u )+q( d )+q( d _ )=0 (7d)

The structures of K-mesons are, Figure 32:

Figure 32. The Kaons.

Since the sub-quark are attached to its tank u*, it follows that the spin of s-quark is:

σ( s )= σ( u _ * )+σ( u+d )=σ( u _ * )

Then, the Kaon spin is: σ( K )=σ( s )+σ( q )=σ( u _ * )+σ( d )=[ ±1,0 ]

If we consider the interpenetration of quark (u, s) as that of pion then it follows:

σ( K )=σ( s )+σ( q )=σ( u _ * )+σ( d )=0

As it happens in pions (u*) and (q = u, d) have opposite spins. The structure equations are:

K + =( s _ _ u )={ [ u*,( u _ , d _ ) ] _ ( u ) }; K =( s _ u )={ [ u _ *,( u,d ) ] _ ( u ) } (8a)

K 0 =( s _ _ d )={ [ u*,( u _ , d _ ) ] _ ( d ) }; K 0 =( s _ d )={ [ u _ *,( u,d ) ] _ ( d _ ) } (8b)

We calculate the parity P(K0); we will have:

P( K 0 )=P{ [ u*,( u _ , d _ ) ] _ ( d ) }=P{ [ u*( u _ d _ ) ]( d ) } ={ P[ u* _ ( u _ d _ ) ]P( d ) }=P( u _ d _ )P( d _ ) =P( u _ )P( d _ )P( d )=( +1 )( +1 )( 1 )=1

Recall the connection between u* and (u, d), and no interpenetration, therefore we have: P[ u*( u _ d _ ) ]=P( u _ d _ )

Here the parity of K-meson would be negative. However, we can also have the following possibility:

P( K 0 )=P{ [ u*,( u _ , d _ ) ] _ ( d ) }=P{ [ u*( u _ d _ ) ]( d ) } ={ P[ u*( u _ d _ ) ]P( d ) }=P( u* )P( u _ d _ )P( d ) =P( u* )P( u _ )P( d _ )P( d )=( 1 )( +1 )( +1 )( 1 )=+1

Here the parity of K-meson would be positive. There are two possibilities due to divalent behaviour of the s-quark in relation to operation : the two component operations (, ) determinate that the s-quark can induce two different ways of decay. In fact, the K meson can decay in two pions (Kππ) with negative parity or in three pions (Kπππ) with positive parity [27] [28]. In PGM it is easy to demonstrate that K0 K0. The oscillations of the K-meson affirm the existence of lattice u, d.

4.4. The Weak Decay of K-Mesons

In the literature [27] [28], it is assumed that the decays of the Kaon are weak (about 108 sec), that is mediated by W bosons as happens to the pion. The theory of the K decay describes that, Figure 33:

Figure 33. The K decay in the theory of interactions.

The description, in truth, would be rather problematic. In the interactions’ literature [29] [30] it is not physically explained why a point particle “decays” (or transform itself) in two other particles as

[ ( s W + + u _ ),( W + d _ +u ),( g d _ +d ),,( πμ+ν ) ]

and others. Now, we change the representation of interactions: the intermediary “agent” presents itself in lattice form. We admit the existence of W-bosons’ lattice to which the quarks couple. We now describe the transformation of s-quark operated by the background lattice W±, using the matrices of the Equation (6) and introducing the W-matrix and s-matrix with three terms:

( W + I W ) { W } _ ( u _ * u d ) s =( W + _ u _ * I _ u W _ d )=( d _ * u W _ d ) { W _ [ ( d _ * _ d ) _ u ] W _ [ d _ * _ ( d _ u ) ] }={ W _ [ γ u ] W _ c }{ W + u γ W +c } (9)

There are so two possibilities:

[ { W } _ s( c+ W ),{ W } _ s _ ( c _ + W + ) ] [ { W } _ s( u+ W ),{ W } _ s _ ( u _ +W ) + ] (10)

We obtained the same result as the interaction theory applied to SM: there is a physical equivalence between a W-bosons’ lattice and Feynman diagrams with bosons. An ongoing study would demonstrate that by applying a W-boson lattice the weak interaction would appear “renormalizable”. This would be a remarkable achievement. By using lattices, the descriptive perspective of the particle’s changes: we have a new the descriptive paradigm of the particles and their interactions. In place of the gluons, we will put the quarks-gluons lattice u,dγg = [(u, u)γ (d, d)γg]γg and in place of the reactions (s W + u) we will put (s + W). From the structure equation we could obtain the decays of the Kaons.

4.5. The Neutral K-Mesons

We analyse the neutral K and its weak decays using lattices Ig=u, d, W.

See Figure 30 and Figure 32, the lattice W interpenetrating the quarks (u*, d) and lattice W interpenetrating the quarks (u, d). In these cases, more W-bosons can contain the quark pairs [(u, u), (d, d)], see in the Figure 30 the bosons [(W)ICLG, (W)ABCD, (W)IAMGN,]. This determines the following equivalences: [W (qi, qi, qi)]. We can have also:

K 0 ( s _ ,d )=( s _ d ) _ [ ( { W } { W } ) { W } ]=( s _ _ { W } d _ { W } )=( s _ _ { W + _ W } d _ { W + _ W } ) =( u _ _ { W + } u _ { W } )=( u _ _ { W + } u _ { W } )=( u _ I g I g u ) _ ( { W + } W W + { W } ) =( u _ I g I g u ) _ ( ( u 1 _ u 2 _ u 3 ) ( W + , W + ) _ W ( d 1 _ d 2 _ d 3 ) W ( d _ 1 _ d _ 2 _ d _ 3 ) W + ( u _ 1 _ u _ 2 _ u _ 3 ) ( W , W ) _ W + ) (11)

Here, there are two possibilities: if u-quark annihilates u1-quark then we will have two neutral pions, while in the opposite case we will have three neutral pions. We consider the first case:

(12)

The second case is:

(13)

The coupling between (K, W) determines the weak decays of K-meson and the oscillation between two states [(π,π), (π,π,π)], see the literature [28]. Note that these decays make it clear why the decay into three pions is longer than that into two pions. The literature has considered this aspect as two possible states of the neutral Kaon (KShort), KLonge) that is τdec(3π0) >τdec(3π0). Using the two lattices [W, u,d], we can demonstrate transformation K0(s, d) K0(s, d):

(14)

The phenomenology of the Kaons validates so the Geometric Model and the existence of intermediary lattices.

5. Conclusion

Reading the article, it can be noted that PGM is a “simple” and “faithful” representation of the SM, with the advantage of being a representative model of the phenomenology of particles which deepens their physical knowledge and manages to make predictions both on the structures of the particles same as also on the physical values of some physical quantities such as the mass. Some aspects of SM that are still problematic or not explained in detail, find easy descriptive and exhaustive expression in PGM, especially for students, as see the demonstration of the number of possible quarks, no more than six, or, going back to the geometric figure and the structural equation, as describe the possible reactions and decays of a particle, see K mesons and nucleons. As also can be seen in this article, PGM introduces, didactically and otherwise, new descriptive paradigms of particle phenomenology as the interactions between particles through intermediary lattices (bosons) and the quantum oscillator at sub-oscillators and semi-quanta (IQuO). Thanks to these new paradigms, it is possible to see that mass, electrical charge, and color charge find “geometric” expressions that facilitate the understanding of these fundamental concepts of physics. In conclusion, in representing didactically the physics of SM through geometric figures, we have had the notable surprise that the didactic model created (PGM) was a model exhaustive, in-depth analysis, and predictive of the phenomena described mathematically by the SM.
