The substantial proton model describes the origin, structure, state of
matter, and other properties of the proton based on the idea of two fundamental
force fields, acting in the nature. According to the theory of Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter,
these fields include the electromagnetic field and gravitational field. In the
presented model, the de Broglie wavelength
of moving protons is explained as a consequence of conversion of the wavelength
of internal oscillations of potentials of the fundamental fields of these
particles into the laboratory reference frame.

magnetic moments and spins of neutrons and protons, respectively.
As an effective tool for the
study of the proton’s properties we can use the theory of similarity of matter levels. In this theory,
one-to-one correspondence is established between the objects of basic levels of
matter, and SPФ symmetry predicts similarity
in the progress of similar processes. [1] In
particular, at the level of stars a strongly magnetized neutron star — magnetar
corresponds to the proton. Despite the huge difference in the masses and sizes,
there is a great similarity between these objects. If the average matter
density of a neutron star is about kg/m³, the average density of a proton is about kg/m³. The magnetic induction on the surface of a magnetar is more than 1011
T. [2] At a tabular value of the proton magnetic
moment of J/T, the magnetic induction at the proton pole must equal the value of T. It is assumed that the magnetic field of a quarter of neutron stars
exceeds the value of 1010 T, and their properties are similar to
those of magnetars.
The magnetic field at the center of
a neutron star is created mainly by the neutron phase of matter. Here, under
conditions of high matter density and strong pressure of about 1033
Pa, the magnetic moments of neutrons are arranged in a parallel way, increasing
the general magnetic field. If the neutron spins are opposite to the star spin,
then this magnetic field will be close by direction to the star spin. The
neutron star mass must be permeated by the magnetic filaments, just as it has
been already discovered in ordinary superconductors on the Earth. [3] However, at the assumed threads’ thickness of 10−13
m the magnetic field induction in the filaments is very high — of the order of
1011 T.
To estimate the magnetic moment of
the magnetar, according to the theory of dimensions of physical quantities and
the theory of similarity, we must multiply the magnetic moment of proton by the
corresponding similarity coefficients:
J/T.
Here and are the coefficients of similarity in size, mass
and velocities, respectively, [4] as it follows from the similarity of matter
levels.
On the other hand, if the
magnetic moments of
all nucleons (mainly neutrons) that make up the magnetar, have the same
direction, then the magnetic moment equals J/T, which
is an order of magnitude greater than . Hence it follows that in the formation
of the magnetic moment of the magnetar practically all the particles are
involved, of which it consists. But then the proton, similarly to the magnetar,
is an object with the maximum possible magnetization of its matter. The
experimental dependences of the charge density and the density of the magnetic
moment of the proton are close to each other. Then it can be concluded that the
contribution to total magnetic moment of the proton is made by individual
magnetic moments of the proton matter, just as it happens in magnetars.
From the standpoint of classical
electrodynamics, the magnetic moment of the proton is anomalous – it is 2.79
times larger than the nuclear magneton, that is the magnetic moment of a
particle with the mass and charge of the proton, which has the quantum spin of
the proton equal to ħ/2 (ħ is the Dirac constant).
The maximum magnetic moment of
the proton can be expressed in terms of its spin using the formula for a
rotating charged ball:
where is
the elementary charge, is the proton mass, and the maximum spin is determined by the formula:
Here and are
the moment of inertia and the proton radius, is the maximum velocity at the
proton’s equator, is
the maximum angular velocity of rotation. The formula for the magnetic moment is obtained by integrating over the proton
volume and is based on the condition that the electric charge of the proton is
uniformly distributed over its volume, and during the proton’s rotation this
charge creates the magnetic moment. The quantity can be found from the equality of the
centripetal force and the gravitational force at the equator:
where is
the strong gravitational constant.
For the magnetic moment of the
proton we obtain the expression, which gives almost exact tabular value of the
magnetic moment:
If we take into account that the
magnetic moment of the proton is determined by the standard formula:
then from comparison with the
expression for it
follows that the maximum spin of the proton is equal to .
As we can see, there is a close
relation between the magnetic moment and the rotation of the positive volume
charge of the proton with limiting angular velocity. As a result, the magnetic
moments of the proton matter particles are oriented by the general magnetic
field and support this field, even during the subsequent deceleration of the
proton’s rotation. This situation explains the anomalous magnetic moment of the
proton in comparison with the nuclear magneton and corresponds to the structure
of the magnetic field of the magnetar, shown in Figure 1.
The attempts to calculate the
electric charge of the proton only through the rotation of its magnetic moment
or through the internal currents show that the proton charge is created mainly
by the internal volume electric charge. An additional contribution to the
effective value of the proton charge can be made both by the internal currents
and the magnetic moment of the proton matter, taking into account its spin
rotation. [4]
The magnetic field induction
outside the proton is determined by the formula for the magnetic dipole field:
where is
the vacuum permeability, is the proton’s magnetic moment vector, is the radius-vector from the center of the proton to the point, at which
the magnetic field is determined.
If we assume that the proton is a
uniformly charged ball, then rotation of such a ball at the angular velocity generates inside it the magnetic field
induction for a non-rotating observer, which is found by the formula: [4]
where is
the ball’s magnetic moment vector, is the ball’s charge.
There are several methods to
estimate the effective radius of the proton. In literature we can find the
charge and magnetic radii as well as the radius found from the cross-sections
of particles’ interaction. All these radii can differ from the actual proton
radius . Thus, in
experiments on electrons scattering by protons the root-mean-square charge
radius m was found. [5]
The cross-section of nucleons’ interaction with each other, established at energies
greater than 10 GeV, equals 38 mbn. [6] In the classical limit we can assume that this
cross-section is close to the total geometrical cross-section of colliding
particles, that is, to the value . Since mb = 10−31 m², then we
obtain m.
Theoretical calculations of the
proton radius were performed by Sergey Fedosin using several methods: by
examining the standing electromagnetic waves inside the proton; by equating the
difference between the binding energies of the proton and neutron to the
mass-energy of the electromagnetic field of the proton; [1] and using the limiting angular momentum of the
gravitational field of the proton. [7] These methods
provide the value of the proton radius (6.7 ± 0,1)∙10−16 m. If we
calculate the proton radius from relation (1), we obtain the value 7.7 ∙10−16
m.
The mass and radius of the proton
can be estimated by analogy with the way, in which the masses and radii of
neutron stars were found, based on the quantum state of their matter and the
relation between the gravitational energy and quantum-mechanical energy. [8] Just as in case of neutron stars, the proton mass is
determined by the properties of its matter, as well as by the strong
gravitational constant, ensuring the nucleon integrity. Hence, it follows that
in every gravitational field of any basic level of matter the objects have only
one mass-radius ratio, at which the greatest gravitational energy density is
achieved. Besides, the values of the mass and radius are fixed by the laws of
quantum mechanics, which points to the significant matter degeneracy. For the
relation between the radius and mass of the proton we obtain the formula: [9]
where is
the constant that depends on the properties of the proton matter.
The self-consistent proton model
takes into account the non-uniform matter distribution inside the proton
(increase in density at the center), the formulas for the binding energy and
magnetic moment at maximum rotation. It allows us to determine the central
density kg/m³ of the proton matter and to
estimate the rate of change of the density with the change of the radius. The
proton radius equals m and the maximum angular velocity
of its rotation reaches 6.17∙1023 Hz. [9]
[10] For comparison, the website of Particle data
group [11] gives the value of the charge radius of
the proton m.
Taking into account the law of
redistribution of energy fluxes, for the proton we find the angular velocity of
its steady rotation, equal to 2.98∙1023 Hz, at which the equality of
the total energy flux of the gravitational field and the kinetic energy flux of
the rotating matter is achieved in it. In case if the magnetic moment of the
proton and its angular momentum fully coincide in direction, the
electromagnetic emission from the proton is zero and it can be in the state of
long-term, steady rotation at the constant velocity. [9]
A neutron star contains about nucleons, and it is assumed that a proton
contains the same number of minute quantum particles — praons. This helps us explain why in
collision of high-energy gold ions we do not find the gas of quarks and gluons,
as is expected in quantum chromodynamics, but jets of almost ideally liquid
hadronic matter. [12] At such energies of
collisions the hadronic matter cannot be in the form of gas, because it is
pulled together by strong gravitation
into self-gravitating objects, which over time take a spherical form. [9]
The analysis of the
electromagnetic energy and the energy of strong gravitational field in the
proton shows that the ratio of the proton mass to its charge is associated with
the balance of energies of the field quanta and of the proton matter particles
during its formation. The proton charge is close to the limiting value, at
which the action of the electromagnetic field begins to destroy the minute
particles of the hadronic matter, so that at a greater charge the proton could
not exist.
According to the substantial neutron model, the charge and
magnetic configurations of the neutron are gradually changing as a result of
the weak interaction reactions that occur in its matter. Then a rapid
restructuring of the general magnetic field takes place, the negatively charged
shell is ejected, turning into an electron. At the same time an antineutrino is
emitted, and the rest part of the neutron, positively charged in general,
becomes a proton. This process is called -decay of the neutron, and it shows why
the proton charge has a discrete value and is the same practically for all
protons – this is a consequence of mass discreteness of neutrons and of the
properties of their matter in the strong gravitational field.
The relation between the average
pressure and the average density of the proton matter has the form:
where in SI units is the coefficient, which is found
through the proton radius, its mass and the strong gravitational constant. [9]
Assuming that the characteristic speed of the matter inside
the proton is the speed of light, for the rest energy and the total energy of
the proton, in view of the matter energy in the strong gravitational field and
the virial theorem, the following relation holds:
where is
the coefficient that depends on the matter distribution in the proton.
Relation (2) reflects the
equivalence of mass and energy as a consequence of the principle of
proportionality of the mass and the binding energy of the proton. It also means
that in all processes with nucleons the change in their total energy should be
taken into account.
Taking into account the
expression for the strong gravitational constant, another estimate of the
proton radius follows from relation (2):
fm,
where is
the electric
constant, is
the electron mass.
The last-mentioned equation can
be interpreted as follows. If we put a positron into a neutron and mix the
entire matter and charge of the positron over the volume of the neutron, we
will obtain a particle close to a proton. Any matter in the proton has the
characteristic speed of the order of the speed of light, and the energy equal
to the rest energy. On the other hand, the electric energy of the positron
during its compression into the nucleon’s volume increases to a maximum and is
determined by the proton radius. From expression for the energy (2) it follows
that the energy of strong gravitation depends on the proton mass and is equal
to the doubled rest energy of all the matter. Similarly, the electric energy
depends on the proton charge and is equal to the doubled rest energy of the
matter of the positron as an effective charge carrier inside the proton.
Unlike neutrons, protons are
practically stable particles, which ensures their maximum prevalence in the
nature as part of the hydrogen atom and in atomic nuclei. The stability of the
proton in the strong gravitational field is due to the balance of gravitational
forces and repulsive forces between the particles of matter inside the proton.
On the other hand, the proton matter is stable with respect to the weak
interaction reactions, and decays of free protons are not observed. The proton
structure is similar to the structure of a magnetar, in which the magnetic
moments of neutrons are aligned along the magnetic field of the star, the neutron
spins are oriented along the gravitational
torsion field of the star, and as a result the stellar energy is minimal.
The proton is the basis of the
matter of atoms and it forms a number of compounds with other particles. The
coupling between a neutron and a proton by means of strong interaction can lead
to formation of a deuteron. The compounds of two protons (diproton) and two
neutrons (dineutron) have low binding energy, they are unstable and decay
immediately.
In the gravitational model of strong interaction,
the strong interaction appears as a result of summation of electromagnetic
forces, strong gravitation and forces from the gravitational torsion field. The
main components are the gravitational attraction force and the spin-spin
repulsion force. When the distances between the particles are smaller than the
nucleon radius, the balance of forces and formation of such composite objects,
as atomic nuclei, are possible. [4]
Another example is strange
particles, many of which are assumed to be the compounds of nucleons and pions.
So, Λ-hyperon can consist of fast-rotating near each other and along one axis
proton and pion, which are held by strong gravitation and spin torsion fields, [9] and Σ-hyperon is a compound of neutron and
pion. The strange Ξ-baryons contain two pions in addition to a proton, and
Ω-baryon contains three or four pions, which gives a baryon strangeness, equal
to 3. Pions can combine with each other even in the absence of nucleons. An
example is K-mesons, consisting of three pions in various combinations.
It is known that at high hadron collision energies, the transverse momenta
of arising charged pions with the invariant energy GeV have a value from GeV to GeV, here c is the speed of light.
These pion momenta are considered to be a fundamental quantity for the
interaction of hadrons – they depend little on the type and energy of the
colliding particles, on the multiplicity of particle production, etc. To
explain the origin of such pion momenta, one can use the idea of strong
gravitation. If the pion rotates near the surface of the proton in a circular
orbit at a speed of , then from the equality
where is the Lorentz factor, the quantities and are determined. So the pion momentum will be GeV.
If the pion moves away from the proton to infinity with a minimum energy,
there is the equality for the energy
It gives the Lorentz factor , the initial pion speed ,
the momentum GeV.
In contrast to interactions between
protons and neutrons, for annihilation of nucleons as a rule some antinucleons
are required. At low energies an antiproton annihilates with a proton with
production of 4–5 pions on the average, one of which is neutral and decays into
two photons. Additionally, production of K-mesons and less often of certain
gamma-ray photons is possible. An antiproton can also annihilate with a
neutron.
According to the substantial
model, proton-antiproton annihilation is most effective, when they encounter
along the line, which is the axis of rotation of both particles. At the same
time the spins of these particles must be opposite, and the magnetic moments
must have the same direction. Then all the forces, acting from the spins,
magnetic moments, charges and masses, are the forces of attraction. During
collision, the energy of the opposite rotation of nucleons can fully go into
the internal energy of nucleons and heat the matter up to a high temperature.
The nucleon matter decays into large parts flying away in all directions, which
turn into pions under action of strong gravitation. The rotation energy also
can go to electromagnetic quanta. Sometimes in annihilation of nucleons,
gamma-ray photons are observed with energies up to 180 MeV, which is about
19 % of the rest energy of nucleon. It is close to the maximum possible
rotation energy of one nucleon, reaching almost 20% of the rest energy of
nucleon. [4]
Similarly we can consider
interaction of antiproton and neutron. The strong gravitational field releases
enough energy in order to, under rapid opposite rotation, divide all the matter
into parts and scatter it in space. If we calculate the mutual gravitational
energy of two nucleons at the moment of their contact, it will be almost equal
to the proper gravitational energy of one nucleon. Release of this energy in a
collision is not enough to fully scatter the entire nucleon matter, but is
enough to divide it into several large fragments with the masses of the order
of meson masses.
As a rule, protons emerge in the
nature in beta-decay of free neutrons in the reaction:
in this process electrons and
electron antineutrinos are also emitted. This reaction at the level of transformations in the
neutron matter is analyzed in the substantial
neutron model.
The reaction of electron capture
by proton has the following form:
When the negatively charged
electron matter falls on the surface of the proton, its electric energy of
attraction to the proton and the strong gravitational energy are converted into
the kinetic energy, which, upon falling, goes into the thermal energy and heats
up the matter. Simultaneously, the negative charge of the electron flows into
the proton shell and compensates its charge. Since the negative charge cannot
penetrate into the central part of a proton due to the high pressure in the
matter, the proton core remains positively charged. The electric charge
configuration emerges, which is typical for the neutron. Since the proton spin
practically does not change, rotation of the negative charge in its shell leads
to reversal of the magnetic moment. As a result, a proton is converted into a
neutron, with zero total charge and the magnetic moment opposite to the spin.
Transformation of nucleons in interaction with
neutrinos takes place with emission of leptons. The following reactions are the
examples:
These reactions take place with very low
probability. For example, the cross-section in reaction 1 is equal to m²
with the energy of antineutrino of 4 MeV, while the strong interaction
cross-section during pion-proton scattering has the value of the order of m² with the energy of colliding particles
of about 1200 MeV in the center-of-inertia system. The probability of reactions
with neutrinos and the cross-sections of these reactions are directly
proportional to the neutrino energies. Obviously, all this is due to the fact
that neutrinos consist of beams of minute particles moving at relativistic
velocities.
In reaction 1 the electron
antineutrino with right-handed helicity transforms the proton into a neutron
and a positron. Analysis of this reaction can be conveniently performed at the
level of stars, assuming that the stellar electron antineutrino falls on the magnetar, which is the analogue
of the proton. This stellar electron antineutrino consists of two parts,
including the fluxes of ordinary electron antineutrinos and neutrinos:
The magnetar consists of nucleons
oriented by the magnetic field, as is shown in Figure 1. To transform the
magnetar into the neutron star, the analogue of neutron, we need to transform
the protons of the magnetar’s matter into positrons and neutrons with the help
of electron antineutrino. This is possible only when the antineutrino is
propagating in the direction from the south to the north magnetic pole of the
magnetar. In this case, the right-handed helicity of the fluxes and the proper right-handed helicity of
antineutrino in
(3) would coincide with the direction of the magnetar’s spin and the spins of
protons of the magnetar’s matter. At the same time, the fluxes of left-helicity neutrinos reach the magnetar’s neutrons from the side, in which the spins of neutrons
are directed, and produce electrons and protons. Part of the emerging electrons
and positrons annihilate, releasing energy and heating up the magnetar’s
matter. After accumulating a sufficient number of positrons in the shell, due
to their repulsion from the central part of the magnetar, which is positively
charged, ejection of the heated matter takes place with formation of a stellar
object of positron-type. The magnetar itself is transformed into a neutron
star, the neutron’s analogue, since the nucleons in the magnetar’s shell under
the action of the fluxes of neutrinos and antineutrinos reverse the direction
of their magnetic moment, and the charge gradient appears in the matter due to
the electrons produced. This leads to compensation of part of the magnetic
field of the magnetar’s core by the magnetic field of the shell, to changing
the magnetic field configuration and the sign of the star’s magnetic moment,
and to releasing a considerable amount of energy, which contributes to the
matter ejection. Ejection of the positively charged matter from the shell of
the magnetar means the loss of charge by the magnetar and its transforming into
a neutral neutron star. Similarly, an electron antineutrino interacts with the
matter of the proton, transforming it into a neutron in reaction 1.
In reaction 2 an electron
neutrino with left-handed helicity transforms a neutron into a proton and an
electron. Consequently, the stellar neutrino should also transform a neutron star, the
neutron’s analogue, into a magnetar with ejection of part of the shell as an
object, which is the analogue of an electron. For this it is necessary to turn
the protons and neutrons in the stellar shell into the neutrons and protons in reactions
1 and 2, respectively, with reversal of their magnetic moment. For this to
happen, the stellar neutrino should reach the neutron star from the south
pole of its magnetic moment in the direction opposite to the spin of the star.
The stellar neutrino has left-handed helicity and consists of the fluxes of
electron neutrinos and antineutrinos:
Then the left-handed helicity of , as is shown in (4) in square brackets,
will correspond to the direction of the star’s spin. In this case, the left
neutrinos will fall onto neutrons, and the right
antineutrinos onto the protons of the star from the
corresponding south magnetic pole of each nucleon. In reactions 1 and 2
electrons and positrons are produced, which partially annihilate with release
of energy. The reversal of the magnetic moments of nucleons in the shell of the
star takes place, which leads eventually to transformation of the magnetic
field configuration of the neutron star into the configuration of the magnetar,
which is shown in Figure 1. In the shell of a neutron star, the neutron’s
analogue, there is excess of the negative charge. Rapid changes in the magnetic
configuration of the star lead to changes in the magnetic pressure, resulting
in ejection of part of the shell’s matter that bears the negative charge. This
is equivalent to formation of a new stellar object of electron-type. The star
itself becomes a magnetar. From this stellar model we can see, what can happen
with the neutron in interaction with the neutrino and how weak interaction
reactions occur in the neutron matter. The interactions of nucleons with muons
and muon neutrinos are considered in a similar way. As a result, weak
interaction in the objects of the same level of matter is reduced to weak
interaction reactions at lower levels of matter. Therefore, weak interaction
should not be considered a special kind of force, and the use of it for
description of gauge W and Z bosons should be considered just as a convenient
way of mathematical assessment of phenomena. [4]
According to the substantial neutron model, the first
result of the matter evolution at the level of elementary particles is
production of neutrons and nuons from
the more massive objects, the analogues of which at the level of stars are the
main sequence stars. These objects emerge under the action of strong gravitation as a result of
gravitational bunching of scattered matter and produce neutrons, just as
neutron stars are formed during collapse of massive stars. Then, in the minute
particles of the matter of emerging neutrons weak interaction reactions take
place, leading eventually to -decay of neutrons into protons, electrons
and electron antineutrinos. Similarly, weak interaction reactions in the matter
of ordinary neutron stars in a cosmologically long period of time of about 2•1015
years should end with -decay of these stars with formation of
magnetars.
Thus the origin of protons is
explained without the use of the idea of quarks in quantum chromodynamics and
the Big Bang concept, according to which at the time of explosion gluons and
quarks should be produced, which then gather in mesons and baryons. In the model of quark quasiparticles, the quarks
are considered as quasi-particles, the properties of which are associated with
the properties of hadronic matter. The primary particles are considered to be
not quarks but nucleons themselves, which in the theory of infinite nesting of
matter represent the main objects at the level of elementary particles.
On the other
hand, the basic levels of matter are the following: the level of graons – the
level of praons – the level of nucleons – the level of stars – the level of supermetagalaxies. [13] Due to
the similarity of matter levels, each
basic level of matter consists of the objects of the underlying basic level of
matter. Hence it follows that protons, neutrons, electrons, and all elementary
particles consist of neutral and positively charged praons and negatively charged praelectrons. Fluxes
of relativistic praons and graons form the main content of electrogravitational vacuum, generating
electromagnetic and gravitational forces between bodies.
