Calculation of 130 Gev Mass for T-Quark

Abstract

A 130 GeV mass is calculated for the t-quark, also called the truth quark or the top quark. The 130 GeV T-quark mass is consistent with the analysis of Dalitz and Goldstein (131 GeV (-11, +22 )) of a CDF T-quark candidate event [1]. It is not consistent with the theoretical calculations of Dimopoulos, Hall, and Raby that the T-quark mass range should be 176 to 190 GeV [2]. The calculation uses a model in which the 28-dimensional adjoint representation of Spin(8) forms the gauge group of the model with an 8-dimensional spacetime whose tangent vector space is represented by the vector representation of Spin(8); the first generation fermion particles and antiparticles are represented by the two mirror image 8-dimensional half-spinor representations of Spin(8). The 8-dimensional spacetime of the model is reduced to 4 dimensions. Dimensional reduction gives the fermions a 3-generation structure. At request, I added a chronology including work of others.
