Annihilation Mechanisms

Abstract

This paper develops an ontologically rich explanation of the inner mechanics of the annihilation process, starting from a non-local hidden-variable (NLHV) design. This explains the process in terms of the handedness of matter and antimatter, the interaction of the electron and antielectron as they approach, the collapse of their discrete force structures and their reformation into photon structures. The process is more one of remanufacture than destruction. The resulting Cordus theory successfully explains para-and ortho-positronium annihilation. It explains the different photons output, the relative difference in lifetimes, and why Bhabha scattering sometimes happens instead. The theory exposes a deeper common mechanism for annihilation, pair-creation, and bonding.

Weak Interaction and the Mechanisms for Neutron Stability and Decay

“…Instead they are merely the by-products and waste process stream from the remanufacturing process. In this way they are the same class of phenomenon as annihilation [17,18]. This also means that, under this framework, unification of the forces is achieved in a hierarchical manner, with the synchronous (strong) interaction being the only force within coherent matter, and the electro-magnetogravitational interactions being the forces for discoherent matter.…”

“…This is a mathematical formalism of the principles for manipulating discrete forces and transforming one type of particule into another. This is referred to as a remanufacturing process, as the discrete forces are usually conserved, the exceptions being the mass-energy equivalences of pair production and annihilation [18] where the sum of discrete forces is not conserved, but these are not of concern here. A core principle of this theory is that a particule is defined by the pattern of discrete forces it emits, and therefore changes to the discrete forces cause the particule to change its nature.…”

“…This neutral complex comprises x 1. ] corresponds to a pair of photons, alternatively an electron-antielectron pair [18]. This set of discrete forces may be added to a particule as part of energy absorption.…”

“…hyperfine-emission-direction (HED) mechanics [14] [18]. This is a mathematical formalism of the principles for manipulating discrete forces and transforming one type of particule into another.…”

“…It has successfully provided explanations based on physical realism for many phenomena, including resolving wave-particle duality at a proposed deeper level and recovering basic optical laws of reflection and refraction [15]. It has also made meaningful contributions to a new understanding of matter-antimatter [17] and the annihilation process [18], as well as applications in cosmology [19,20]. Thus the initial conjecture, while designed to solve wave-particle duality, has demonstrated excellent external construct validity.…”
