The up quark: The case for its cylindrical geometry

ORAL

Abstract

The CERN website states, “…although the Standard Model accurately describes the phenomena within its domain, it is still incomplete. Perhaps it is only a part of a bigger picture that includes new physics hidden deep in the subatomic world or in the dark recesses of the universe. New information from experiments at the LHC will help us to find more of these missing pieces.” However, Wikipedia states that “elementary particles are particles with no measurable internal structure”. With no measurable internal structure, an experimental approach to gain knowledge into the internal structure of elementary particles seems less forthcoming, leaving this dilemma as a purely theoretical pursuit. The introduction and application of Hierarchy of Energy theory could help unlock how an elementary particle’s geometric form correlates to its known properties. Representing an up quark in the form of a cylinder provides a sound structural and mathematical footing for the flux tubes of the strong force, the color property of QCD, a quark’s fractional electric charge, and the basis behind the formation of heavier quark pairs… All while remaining completely consistent with corroborated experimental data and current validated theory.
