The Periodic Variation of Baryon Masses as a Function of Their Magnetic Moments, and the Stability of the Proton

Authors: Osvaldo F. Schilling

The analysis of tabulated data for all baryons of the octet and decuplet reveals that, due to quantum interference of closed current paths in the femtometer scale: The masses of spin ½ baryons, in proton mass-units, are simple periodic functions of their magnetic moments, in nuclear magneton-units. The analysis shows that currents have either a simple ring form ( the neutron case) or a closed winding shape( the proton case), depending on the amount of magnetic flux enclosed/linked by the current. We argue that the stability of the proton is promoted by this particle winding currents ability to enclose/link a total integer (three) number of magnetic flux quanta, something not achieved by the neutron in a planar ring current path, which only links but does not enclose enough flux.
