Abstract

In two recent works we have shown that the masses of the W± and Zo bosons can be computed from first principles by modeling these bosons as bound relativistic gravitationally confined rotational states consisting of e±–νe pairs in the case of W± bosons and of a e+–νe–e− triplet in the case of the Zo boson. Here, we present similar calculations for the Higgs boson which we model as a bound rotational state consisting of a positron, an electron, a neutrino and an antineutrino. The model contains no adjustable parameters and the computed boson mass of 125.7 GeV/c2, is in very good agreement with the experimental value of 125.1 ± 1 GeV/c2. The thermodynamics and potential connection of this particle with the Higgs field are also briefly addressed.
