Abstract

In order to explain the nature of unstable heavy particles which are found in the penetrating components of cosmic rays, a possible model is presented. A mass relation for elementary particles is derived from the conditions for the elimination of divergences of the nucleon and heavy-nucleon self-energies. By choosing a suitable set of interactions, the lifetimes of these particles are calculated. Their production is evaluated, and their contribution to the magnetic moments of nucleons is also discussed. It is found that the predictions of the present theory are not qualitatively at variance with experimental results.
