Abstract

A model of elementary particles is constructed on the basis of continuous rather than discontinuous (abrupt creation and annihilation) particle reactions. The various decay modes of particles examined in the above way yield only p, e, , and as the stable (fundamental) particles; all the others are sums of these stable particles plus an energy term G. Then, the particle reactions can be explained by the separation and addition of these stable particles. The charge distributions of p and n derived from e-p scattering appear to be favorable to the above model: the neutron can be visualized as an electron rotating around a proton. If the B/sup +/ in Sakata's model is considered to be a composite particle constructed of p, -bar, and G, then this model is similar to the abcve one. Possible questions to be taken up in this model are discussed. (D.L.C.)
