Part 1: Baryon and meson decay High energy labs produce baryons and mesons and measure their masses. They study their decays and classify them according to their properties. The Particle Data Group consolidates data and reviews models. The author downloaded 2020 information [7][8] from the website and analyzed it. The latest PDG review indicates that mass models lack accuracy due to resonances within the particles. The author developed a model of the proton and neutron [5][6] and used it to study whether it could help predict mass and decay times for the 103 baryons listed by PDG. This paper proposes that baryon quark bundles orbit a negative energy similar to but not exactly the same as neutrons and protons. For baryons and mesons the negative energy is the Breit-Wigner width. The quark bundles orbit for only one revolution before decaying. This work started as an attempt to understand why decay times for mesons and baryons varies over about 19 orders of magnitude. I reasoned that there must be an underlying correlation with properties of the particles. Decay rates are measured by gathering information and analyzing it with the Breit-Wigner probability equation [Wiki]. The width is the energy across decay distributions at probability 0.5 and published in Particle Data Group data sheets. The decay time is hbar/width with energy in MeV and decay time in seconds.. It is proposed that the baryon Breit-Wigner width energy is related to energy resonances but becomes negative as the particle takes a form similar to the proton. Insight into decay was gained by comparing models of the decaying particles with a model of the proton that does not decay. This works both ways since the proton model was improved by the effort. Part 2: Baryon mass correlations Another goal of this document was to correlate the masses of the baryons. Correlating the massive amount of data available is a huge task and does not yield easily to correlation. The Particle Data Group publishes reviews but indicates that “resonances” are encountered that hinder the accuracy of meson and baryon mass models (current accuracy about 30%). Improving this accuracy is important to particle physics. It was found that the mass model of the proton and neutron produces a series of resonances useful for simulating the mass of these particles.
