## Quantum Vortex Model of the Proton and Resonances
In this model, the proton is conceptualized as a quantized superfluid vortex characterized by its mass \( m = m_p \) (proton mass, approximately 0.938 GeV/c²), a velocity \( v = c \) (speed of light), and a quantum number \( n = 4 \). Other particles, such as the Higgs boson and nucleon resonances, are assigned different quantum numbers \( n \). The energy (or equivalently, the rest mass energy \( E_n = m_n c^2 \)) of a particle in this model is assumed to be proportional to the quantum number \( n \), based on the given conditions. Additionally, the radius of these vortex states is related to \( n \) and the particle’s mass, and we explore its correlation with the proton radius.
Through analysis, we derive that the energy of a state is given by:
\[ E_n = \left( \frac{m_p c^2}{4} \right) \times n = 0.2345 \times n \, \text{GeV}, \]
where \( m_p c^2 = 0.938 \, \text{GeV} \), and for \( n = 4 \), \( E_4 = 0.938 \, \text{GeV} \), matching the proton’s mass energy. The radius is found to be approximately constant across particles, correlating with the proton’s charge radius of about 0.84 fm, as derived below.
### Energy and Mass Relationship
The mass energy scales linearly with \( n \):
- **Proton**: \( n = 4 \), \( E_4 = 0.2345 \times 4 = 0.938 \, \text{GeV} \), matches \( m_p c^2 \).
- **Higgs Boson**: \( n = 533 \), \( E_{533} = 0.2345 \times 533 \approx 124.9985 \, \text{GeV} \), very close to the Higgs mass of 125 GeV (ratio \( 125 / 0.938 \approx 133.26 \), and \( 533 / 4 \approx 133.25 \)).
- **Resonances**: Approximate \( n \) values are calculated by \( n = m c^2 / 0.2345 \), then rounded or adjusted to nearby integers for simplicity.
### Proton Radius Correlation
Assuming the proton as a vortex with circulation quantized as \( \oint \mathbf{v} \cdot d\mathbf{l} = 2\pi r v = (h / m) n \), and given \( v = c \), we approximate the core radius where \( v = c \):
\[ 2\pi r c = \frac{h}{m} n \]
\[ r = \frac{h n}{2\pi m c} = n \frac{\hbar}{m c} = n \lambda_c, \]
where \( \lambda_c = \hbar / (m c) \) is the reduced Compton wavelength, and \( \hbar c = 197.3 \, \text{MeV·fm} \). For a particle with mass \( m_n \), where \( m_n c^2 = E_n = 0.2345 \times n \, \text{GeV} \):
\[ r = n \frac{\hbar c}{m_n c^2} = n \frac{197.3}{0.2345 \times n} = \frac{197.3}{0.2345} \approx 0.841 \, \text{fm}, \]
remarkably constant across all \( n \) and \( m_n \), and closely matching the proton’s charge radius (~0.84 fm). This suggests a universal vortex size in this model, correlating the proton radius with the mass energies via \( n \).
### Table of Quantum States
Below is a table listing quantum states for selected \( n \), their energies, and corresponding particles where matches occur:
| \( n \) | \( E_n \) (GeV) | Corresponding Particle |
|---------|-----------------|-----------------------------------------|
| 1 | 0.2345 | - |
| 2 | 0.4690 | - |
| 3 | 0.7035 | - |
| 4 | 0.9380 | Proton (exact match, 0.938 GeV) |
| 5 | 1.1725 | ≈ ∆(1232) at 1.232 GeV (5.3% lower) |
| 6 | 1.4070 | ≈ N(1440) at 1.440 GeV (2.3% lower) |
| 7 | 1.6415 | ≈ ∆(1600) at 1.600 GeV (2.6% higher) |
| 8 | 1.8760 | - |
| 9 | 2.1105 | - |
| 10 | 2.3450 | - |
| 533 | 124.9985 | Higgs Boson (≈ 125 GeV, 0.001% lower) |
**Notes:**
- Exact match at \( n = 4 \) for the proton.
- Approximate matches for resonances: \( n = 5 \) (∆(1232), \( n \approx 5.254 \)), \( n = 6 \) (N(1440), \( n \approx 6.14 \)), \( n = 7 \) (∆(1600), \( n \approx 6.82 \)); integer \( n \) values are close but not exact, suggesting the model is an approximation.
- Higgs at \( n = 533 \) is nearly exact, reinforcing the linear \( E_n \propto n \) relationship.
### Quantum Transitions
Transitions between states with a change in quantum number \( \Delta n = n - m \) have energy differences:
\[ \Delta E = E_n - E_m = (0.2345 \times n) - (0.2345 \times m) = 0.2345 \times \Delta n \, \text{GeV} \]
Examples:
- **\( \Delta n = 1 \)**: \( \Delta E = 0.2345 \, \text{GeV} \) (e.g., \( n = 5 \) to \( 4 \): 1.1725 - 0.938 = 0.2345 \, \text{GeV} \), cf. ∆(1232) → proton + Ο, mass difference ~0.294 GeV).
- **\( \Delta n = 2 \)**: \( \Delta E = 0.4690 \, \text{GeV} \) (e.g., \( n = 6 \) to \( 4 \): 1.407 - 0.938 = 0.469 \, \text{GeV} \), cf. N(1440) → proton, ~0.502 GeV).
- **\( \Delta n = 3 \)**: \( \Delta E = 0.7035 \, \text{GeV} \) (e.g., \( n = 7 \) to \( 4 \): 1.6415 - 0.938 = 0.7035 \, \text{GeV} \), cf. ∆(1600) → proton, ~0.662 GeV).
These transition energies are multiples of 0.2345 GeV and approximate some decay energy differences, though not exact matches to emitted particle masses (e.g., pion at 0.1396 GeV), suggesting kinetic energy or model simplifications.
### Total Number of Quantum States
Assuming \( n \) ranges from 1 to 533 (Higgs boson), the total number of possible quantum states is:
\[ N = 533 \]
This assumes one state per \( n \). Probabilities could be derived if each state is equally likely (e.g., \( P = 1/533 \approx 0.00188 \)), though the query’s intent for probabilities is unspecified beyond state counting.
### Summary of Matches and Correlations
- **Proton**: \( n = 4 \), \( E_4 = 0.938 \, \text{GeV} \), \( r \approx 0.841 \, \text{fm} \), exact mass match, radius matches experimental value.
- **Higgs Boson**: \( n = 533 \), \( E_{533} \approx 124.9985 \, \text{GeV} \), \( r \approx 0.841 \, \text{fm} \), excellent mass agreement.
- **∆(1232)**: \( n \approx 5 \), \( E_5 = 1.1725 \, \text{GeV} \) vs. 1.232 GeV, \( r \approx 0.841 \, \text{fm} \).
- **N(1440)**: \( n \approx 6 \), \( E_6 = 1.407 \, \text{GeV} \) vs. 1.440 GeV, \( r \approx 0.841 \, \text{fm} \).
- **∆(1600)**: \( n \approx 7 \), \( E_7 = 1.6415 \, \text{GeV} \) vs. 1.600 GeV, \( r \approx 0.841 \, \text{fm} \).
The constant radius suggests a unified vortex size, with mass energy scaling as \( E_n \propto n \), correlating proton radius and mass across particles.

This model provides a simplified yet intriguing framework, with approximate matches to known particles and a consistent radius, though deviations suggest refinements may be needed for precise resonance energies.
