“…We have recently discovered earlier, similar models of the electron such as A. L. Parson's Magneton Modelpublished in 1915 [14], as well as Mac Gregor's spherical model (which uses the same diameter as this model) originally published in 1992 and recently reprinted in 2013 [15]. Parson hypothesized a loop similar to our model, but it consisted of a loop of "continuous" charge, which has two problems i.e.…”

This is a rotating charge loop model of an electron which explains the electron's de Broglie base frequency to an accuracy of over 6 decimal places. The model also predicts the magnetic moment of the electron to over 6 decimal places and helps explain the transition from a purely electromagnetic photon to a fermion state of matter. The model also explains how charge and spin are conserved in the transition. Finally, this concept might be extended to explain the muon and tau higher energy states of the electron as well.

“…Equation 14 corresponds to the Bohr magnetron, µ B , the fundamental unit of magnetism of an individual sub-atomic particle such as an electron. The origin of electric charge in this rotating photon model is that it is caused by the emission and absorption of virtual photons from the circumference of the rotating photon that is the electron.…”

“…Although it is now over 100 years since the discovery of the electron and despite the fact that it has been the most studied of all of the sub-atomic particles, very little is known about its structure, see for example Barut, 7 Hestenes, 9 Jaynes, 10 and MacGregor, 11 among others. In 1990 at Antigonish, Nova Scotia, 12 a workshop was held to try to work out properties of and a model for the electron.…”

“…Cambridge University hosted a conference on the electron in 1997, marking the one-hundredth anniversary of its discovery by Thomson. Candidate structures include Bohm's "Amoeba" model, 13 in which the electron can change its shape to accommodate different dimensions depending upon its circumstances; the spinning sphere model, 14 and the "point particle" model with intrinsic properties inserted upon it, 7 the quantum mechanical model, 15 among others.…”

“…Is it a wave always, sometimes or never? 7,21 Equally important among all of those properties is the ability of a model to explain the origins of the relativistic corrections when an electron moves. This paper suggests that there is one structure that can explain the properties of an electron.…”

A Proposal for the Structure and Properties of the Electron

A model of the electron is proposed in which it is composed of a known and detectable particle. This model clearly defines what is mass, what is energy and why E = mc 2 . It shows that the special relativity corrections of mass, length and time with velocity are automatically a function of the structure of an electron as it moves. It also proposes the origin of electric charge and uses that origin to derive the equation for the Bohr magnetron. It shows that the electron's spin of ½ħ is simply angular momentum, further explaining why the electron has only two states of spin. This model gives an expression for the radius of an electron, at the same time pointing out why it has been detected as a point particle, yet still has angular momentum of ½ħ. It explains why the mass of an electron increases with velocity while its spin and charge remain the same and its magnetic moment decreases, as well as why its charge spirals when it travels through space. This model gives a physical reason for the existence of the de Broglie wavelength and derives the expression for it. As well as matching the known properties of an electron it also makes predictions of previously unknown properties, pointing out that they may have been detected but not recognized as such.
