The program orders rest masses of the elementary particles around n-tiples of a peak value and proceeds to finer quantization levels. Left-click at the upper left of the program window to proceed to a finer quantization level or right-click to return to the next cruder level.

Leptons appear on blue background

Resonance particles appear on purple background

Baryons and composite particles appear on white background

Mesons appear on black background

Red-colored names indicate charged particles, blue names neutral ones and purple names such particles which may appear charged or neutral with similar properties.

Baryon symbols indicate first sound in Greek alphabet except for proton (P), neutron (N), Deuteronium ion (A), Tritium ion (T), and Helium ion (H).

Meson symbols are c for c$\bar{c}$ and b for b$\bar{b}$ mesons. Unflavored mesons are represented by capital letter for Roman or small letter for first sound in Greek alphabet with $p=\pi$ and f=\phi$. A capital ‘D’ indicates a charmed meson and a ‘K’ a strange meson.

Left-click on particle symbols for a summary of its details, then left-click on name abbreviation for more details.

To examine jointly properties of particles in the same column, first right click on texts ‘ERG’ for energy ‘DOM’ for existence of a dominant decay channel, ‘HAL’ for half life in seconds, or ‘GAM’ for full width gamma, thereafter left-click on the question mark (the x=axis) under the column of interest.

Right-clicks in the graph are effective for selecting particles for a) calculation of average mass values with variance and average position around the n-tiples (variance is then calculated for n=1), b) tracing into finer quantizations, c) removing from the chart or d) keeping specifically while deleting the rest. Right-clicks on the x-axis selects the particles in the column. More than one selection of a group of particles for calculation of average and variance must be preceded by right-clicking immediately right of the termination of the x-axis to clear the array of prior values. Right-clicking on the text in the upper right of the program window clears all prior selections including those for removal or keeping. After the figures of average and variance appear in the upper left of the program window, right-click on the green text indicating the desired choice according to b) – d) above. Right-clicking on the green text ‘RUN’ in ‘RERUN’ restarts the program at the average energy displayed. Otherwise, the program may be restarted from the original quantization value by right-clicking on the white text ‘RERUN’. More than one program window can be opened from the same icon for comparisons. Keeping the screen pointer off the program windows may save processor time in some operative systems.

When a particle or a group of particles are selected to be traced, their original background color is over-written to all green. The same applies to the background color brown when tracing flavor properties as indicated to the far right in the program window. Right-click on capital ‘S’ to trace strange mesons, ‘C’ to trace charmed mesons, and ‘B’ to trace bottom mesons. Select the indicated quark symbols to trace the occurrence of the quark and/or its antiquark within the elementary particles. Charged particles appearing in colors other than blue may be selected by right-clicking on the minus sign. The $<$ and $>$ symbols are for finding out which particles have energies falling out of the current graph at n=1 times the numerical value shown at the upper left in the program window. Those highlighted by right-clicking on the symbol $<$ have energies less than $n-n/2$ and those highlightrf when-right clicking on the symbol $>$ have energies more than $n+n/2$. Clear the brown-marked particles by right-clicking on the brown square right of the x-axis.

When opening the program, choose to examine the square root (alt: square) of the indicated energy value by writing on the second input line 0.1, 1.1, or 2.1 (alt: 0.2, 1.2, 2.2) in place of zero (or empty line feed), 1, and 2, respectively. Then the square root (alt: square) of the particle masses will be divided by the square root (alt: square) of the chosen value. At default settings, this puts the proton and the neutron shifted by $\pi/2$ relative to the resonance frequency 3.6 GeV. Therefore, the background theory suggests that stable mass is deposited off the resonance frequency given by 3.6 GeV.

Technical Advice

Security settings in Win Vista and Win XP may prevent the program from running. In XP, run the program 'as an administrator'. In 'Vista', right-click on the program icon, select properties, compatibility tab, and 'run as administrator'. If the mouse is not effective over the program window in Win 2000, right-click over the progam icon, select properties and disable 'Quick-Edit' mode. Choose to disable Quick-Edit in all applications of the same type. Restart the program after the changes have been made! Other versions of 'Windows' may require other settings. The program also runs in 'DOS-emulator' environments such as provided by www.dosemu.org and www.dosbox.com and can thus be made to run under Linux and other operative systems. Some recent Linux releases (RedHat) come with a DOS-emulator. There are also DOS-emulators for Win CE available on the Internet, for example XT-CE, PocketDOS, etc. Win Vista 64bit lacks a DOS-emulator of its own and must be upgraded.
