Abstract:
Accelerators are utilized in the determination of the mass of elementary particles and the type of particles resulting
from the collision of two or more of elementary parties.
This study is concerned with investigating the effect of different parameters on the determination of the masses
of the particles produced by accelerators. The error in the masses of the produced particles is studied within the framework of Einstein generalized special relativity. This
study shows that the mass error is affected by the potential and kinetic energy as well as the rest mass energy.
Assuming very large rest mass compared to kinetic and potential energy the calculations made for the error in the
mass of the electron shows error of 10-6 %, while the error is 10-8 % for proton mass. These calculations show that the error in the masses of elementary particles is very
small and is less than 1% in general.
