Abstract
The calculation for the masses of elementary particles is based on the ten dimensional superstring. A Kaluza--Klein substructure is proposed for the six extra spatial dimensions in the ten-dimensional superstring. The periodic table of elementary particles can be constructed from the Kaluza--Klein substructure. All leptons, quarks, and gauge bosons can be placed in the periodic table. The masses of elementary particles can be generated using only four known constants: the number of the extra spatial dimensions in the ten-dimensional superstring, the mass of the electron, the mass of Z0, and αe. The calculated masses derived from the periodic table are in good agreement with the observed values. The calculated mass (176.6 GeV) of the top quark is in excellent agreement with the observed mass (176 GeV). The periodic table also provides an explanation for why the cross section for jet transverse energy, >200 GeV, is greater than the perturbative QCD prediction. The periodic table based on the ten-dimensional superstring provides the most comprehensive explanation and calculation for the properties and the masses of all elementary particles.
