Abstract

This paper discusses the features of the proton mass according to the author's nonlinear, spinor field theory in general relativity. Within its context, where mass doublets are generally predicted for all spinor matter fields, it is shown, in a semi-quantitative fashion, that 1) in addition to the normal (stable) proton there is a heavier proton that has a mass of order 193 GeV and 2) a fundamental constant,g m∼2.087·10−14 cm, that was determined earlier from a more general version of electrodynamics in which a short-range part plays a role in the nucleon domain, leads to a prediction of the normal proton mass that is within 1.0% of its empirical value.
