Determination of Elementary Particles Mass Error According to Einstein Generalized Special Relativity

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.
