Abstract

12.15.Ff
A semi-empirical operator is obtained for the self-interaction masses of finite-size leptons and quarks. Strong, electromagnetic and weak self-interaction energies are incorporated into the mass operator via the projection operators $P_{1}=|B+Q|$ and $P_{2}=|2B-Q|$ which act on the structural (i.e., finite-size particle) quantum states for the fundamental fermions. The neutrino mass eigenvalues support the low-probability (LOW) solution for solar-neutrino oscillations, the charged lepton masses are given accurately to within $(\delta m/m)\sim 10^{-4}$, the top quark pole mass is predicted to be 174.241$\un{GeV}$, and the other quark pole masses are uniformly consistent with experiment. Thus, the form of the mass operator may provide guidance to a field-theoretic extension of the standard model that embraces finite-size leptons and quarks.
