The Coherence Length of the Proton

Authors: Osvaldo F. Schilling

In recent work we have shown that the origin of baryons can be traced to electrodynamic instabilities of the vacuum, adopting the proton state as a substract ( as proposed by Barut, decades ago). As reported earlier, one might regard the proton state as separated from the vacuum by a 2.7 GeV energy difference ( loosely referred to as a “gap”). In this picture there is clear analogy between the origin of baryons and the electron-pairs condensation in normal-superconductor transitions, in which a true gap opens up from the Fermi Energy, and one defines a coherence length of the electrons. In the present paper we demonstrate that the analogy does not stop there, since a “coherence length” for the inner constituents of the proton can also be defined, and its existence is related to the observed form of cosmic rays flux profiles. Such coherence length is on the order of 0.24 fm.
