Praons is the general name for a family of
hypothetical particles, consisting of neutral n-praons and positively charged
p-praons. In the theory of Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter, praons are similar in their properties to
nucleons, that is, to neutrons and protons. To assess the properties of praons,
the similarity of matter levels is used. It is assumed that praons consist of
graons in a similar way as nucleons consist of praons, and neutron stars
consist of nucleons. Ultrarelativistic flows of praons are one of
the components of the electrogravitational
vacuum, which,
along with the streams of graons, are responsible for the occurrence of gravity
and electromagnetic interaction. [1]
Contents
Origin
Supposing that SPФ
symmetry is valid at all levels of
matter, the laws of nature act in the same way at these levels. Hence we can assume that as nucleons form the ordinary
matter, so praons are the basis of the matter from which nucleons, electrons
and other particles are composed. A typical neutron star contains approximately
Ф = 1.62∙1057
nucleons, and the same number of praons is expected inside each nucleon.
This allows us to understand why in accelerators in collisions of nucleons with
particles of the highest energy, decay products behave like liquid plasma jets,
and no fairly large particles, such as partons or
individual quarks, are detected. It is assumed that 61% of all praons in the Universe are part of
nucleons, and 39% form dark matter, including part of nuons. [2]
In general, we can talk about
the wave of matter evolution in the Universe. A typical scenario for the
appearance of a neutron star is as follows: first, under the action of
gravitation compression of a large gas cloud takes place, in which the primary
stars emerge. The evolution of a star of sufficient mass
ends with a supernova and birth of a neutron star, and the evolution of the
low-mass stars turn into white dwarfs. Thus,
before the appearance of compact star remnants, there must have been the matter
in the form of gas. Similarly, we can imagine that the existence of the matter
of praons in the form of gas eventually led to the formation of the matter of
nucleons such as hydrogen gas clouds. The wave of evolution in this case moves
in the direction from the lower levels of matter to the higher levels of
matter, from the smallest particles, such as graons, to praons, then to
nucleons, neutron stars and to even larger objects. Since each basic level of
matter generates its own fluxes of relativistic particles and wave quanta that
generate fundamental interactions, such as gravitation and electromagnetism
based on the mechanism of Le Sage’s gravitation, then the wave of evolution
also refers to fundamental interactions. This means that emergence of objects
of a certain level of matter would be impossible if there would be no
sufficiently large number of particles of the lower levels of matter and no
fluxes of relativistic particles, generated by them and making their
contribution into the multicomponent vacuum force field.
Properties
A typical neutron star has the
mass of 1.35 Solar masses, the radius of the order of 12 km, and the characteristic
speed of particles in such a star reaches 0.23 of the
speed of light. Dividing these values by the corresponding values for the
proton, we obtain the similarity coefficients: in mass Ф = 1.62∙1057 ,
in sizes Р = 1.4∙1019 , and
in speed S = 2.3∙10– 1 . In
the first approximation, we can assume that the same similarity coefficients in
mass and sizes are also valid for the relationship between praons and nucleons.
Hence we determine the praon mass
kg and
its radius
m, in
this case we used the proton radius
m. [3]
Using the mass and radius of the praon we can estimate the average density of
its matter
kg /m3 .
The characteristic speed for
the particles of matter inside the proton and praon is close enough to the
speed of light. In this case, instead of the particles’ speed it is convenient
to use their Lorentz
factor. In the relativistic uniform
model, there is a formula for the dependence of the
Lorentz factor on the current radius inside the system of particles of a
spherical shape, held in equilibrium by the gravitation force and the force of
internal pressure: [4]

where
is the
speed of light,
is the
Lorentz factor of the particles at the center of the sphere,
is the
current radius,
is the
invariant mass density of the system’s particles,
is the
coefficient of the acceleration field.
In such objects as the neutron
star, proton, and also praon, the average mass density does not differ much
from the central mass density, so that this formula must provide the correct
order of magnitude of the Lorentz factor. We will now use the expression for
the rest mass of a spherical body:
![~m_{b}={\frac {c^{2}\gamma _{c}}{\eta }}\left[{\frac {c}{{\sqrt {4\pi \eta \rho _{0}}}}}\sin \left({\frac {a}{c}}{\sqrt {4\pi \eta \rho _{0}}}\right)-a\cos \left({\frac {a}{c}}{\sqrt {4\pi \eta \rho _{0}}}\right)\right].\qquad \qquad (2)](praen.files/image012.gif)
If we substitute here the
neutron star’s mass instead of
, the
star’s radius instead of
, and use the average mass density instead of
, and
also take into account the equality
, [5]
where
is the gravitational
constant, then we can calculate the Lorentz factor for
the nucleons at the center of the star:
. The similar approach can be applied to the
proton, with the difference that instead of the ordinary gravitational constant
we should use the strong gravitational constant
m3•s–2•kg–1.
So it turns out that at the center of the proton the Lorentz
factor for the praons, located there, equals 1.9. [6]
Finally, for the praon it is
necessary to use the gravitational constant
, acting at its level of matter.
To estimate this constant, we can apply the
similarity relations between the levels of praons and nucleons:
. Hence
it follows that the value of the praon’s
gravitational constant is
m3•s–2•kg–1.
After substituting into (2) the mass, radius and density of the praon, taking
into account the equality
, we find the Lorentz factor for graons at the
center of the praon, which is approximately equal to 64.
The typical angular momentum at each level of
matter is given by the Dirac
constant. For compact stars
J∙s, for
the nucleons’ level of matter
J∙s,
while the quantum spin of the nucleon is equal to
. To estimate the Dirac constant
at the
level of praons, the following similarity relation can be used:
. Hence it turns out that
J∙s.
The Boltzmann constant for the level of praons
is given by the expression:
J/K,
where
is the Boltzmann
constant.
For the strong gravitational constant
the following relation holds true:

Where
is the elementary
charge,
is the electric
constant,
is the
proton mass,
is the
electron mass,
is the ratio of the proton mass to the
electron mass. Similarly, at the level of praons we obtain the following:

Hence we find the praon’s
charge
C. If we
use the theory of similarity, then the charge of the praon is expressed through
the charge of the proton (elementary charge) and the coefficients of similarity
as follows:
C .
By analogy with a free neutron, which undergoes
beta-decay in
seconds,
we can estimate the lifetime
of a
free neutral n-praon. To do this, we can use the similarity relation
, which gives
seconds.
Wave quanta
It is assumed that praons are
not only “the building material” for nucleons and electrons that form the
matter, but also they make up the composition of all
hadrons and leptons. Moreover, such wave quanta as photons should also consist
of praons. During transition of the excited electron in the atom to the state
with lower energy, the center of the electron cloud is shifted relative to the
nucleus, which leads to the quantum spin of the electron (see substantial electron
model). In this case, the periodic electromagnetic field
of the rotating electron appears, acting on the fluxes of the vacuum field’s
praons and making up a photon of them. In the substantial photon model, praons
are closely associated with the strong gravitation and
form sufficiently rigid wave structure of the photon, rotating during its
motion. [7] For the case of the
electron transition from the second level to the first level in the hydrogen
atom, when a photon with the angular frequency
s -1 is emitted in the Lyman series, the
total rest mass of all the praons of such a photon is equal to
kg. If we
divide the mass
by the
rest mass of one praon
kg, we
can estimate the number of praons in this photon:
.
Let us now consider the
electron antineutrino emitted in the free
neutron decay. If from the
energy of the neutron at rest we subtract the rest energy of the proton and the
electron, arising from the decay, then the energy obtained will be equal to the
antineutrino energy, to which we must add the sum of the kinetic energies of
the electron and the proton. In the limiting case, the sum of the kinetic
energies of the electron and the proton is minimal, and the antineutrino energy
reaches the maximum possible value of
keV or
J. If we
denote by
the
total rest mass of all the particles making up the antineutrino, then for the
antineutrino energy we can write:
, where
is the speed of light. Hence, with the Lorentz factor equal to
, as in the case of the photon, we can estimate
the antineutrino mass:
kg. It
turns out that the mass of all the particles of this antineutrino is 4.6 times
greater than the mass of praons in the photon, emitted in the hydrogen atom at
the angular frequency
s-1 in
the Lyman series.
According to the substantial neutron
model, the electron antineutrino, emitted from the
neutron in its beta decay, is made of the praantineutrinos
and praneutrinos, which arise respectively in the
beta decay of n-praons, that compose the neutron, and in the capture of
praelectrons by p-praons, that is, in the weak interaction reactions, but
already at the level of matter of praons. [8] This means that the
electron antineutrino consists of multiple parallel fluxes of the vacuum
field’s graons, while each of these fluxes is formed at the moment when the
corresponding neutron’s praon is transformed in the weak interaction reaction. The parallel alignment of the graon fluxes is due
to the fact that the magnetic moments of the praons inside the neutron are
directed by the strong magnetic field of the neutron. Antineutrino
by its form represents a cylindrical object moving at the speed of light, with
the cross-section equal to the cross-section of the neutron. The right helicity
of antineutrinos means that the graon
fluxes are twisted to the right relative to the direction of
motion of antineutrinos, which coincides with the spin direction of the
decaying neutron. The stability of antineutrinos is maintained by the strong
gravitation acting at the level of graons and by electromagnetic forces.
It is assumed that the emission time of an
antineutrino during the decay of a free neutron should be comparable with the
lifetime of free n-praons
seconds.
For comparison, we can consider formation of a neutron
star in a supernova, which occurs with the emission of neutrino and
antineutrino fluxes with a total duration of the order of
seconds. At the level of the matter of
nucleons, such a process can be considered as the formation of a neutron, with
the emission of fluxes of praantineutrinos and praneutrinos. The radiation time is estimated as
seconds at
.
From this we see that the structures
of the photon and the antineutrino are absolutely different, they also differ
in the composition of their main particles. Being composed of the smallest
graons, neutrinos and antineutrinos have an extremely high penetrating ability,
in spite of the fact that they have energies and rest masses comparable with
those of photons.
