Particle masses generated by mass quanta and elementary charges circulating in individual eigenspaces of particles, not embedded in space-time. — •Herrmann Hans-Dieter — Berlin

Intrinsic properties of particles such as invariant mass, spin, magnetic dipole moment and Compton wave length are modelled assuming an extra space fixed to the structure of an individual particle. The particle appears as composited and extended in its eigenspace. The eigenspace resembles the space spanned by body-fixed coordinates of a spinning top, a satellite or a drone. The structural building stones of particle models are so called rotons with D=3+1 dimensions. The biroton with D=5+1 dimensions represents the minimum structure of a lepton model or a quark-equivalent. The meson model consists of a biroton and an anti-biroton with D=9+1 dimensions. A baryon model needs D=25+1 dimensions, it consists of six birotons with quarter-valued spins. This model structure provides mass values, spin and magnetic momenta in reasonable agreement with the experiment.

The mass quantum mQ approx.= 1/32 of the muon mass is calculated using muon data as input and serves as a universal constant. It may have both signs in the eigenspace, such that the small electron mass and the vanishing neutrino masses can be modelled as differences between positive and negative partial masses. The partial masses of a particle may be located at different positions in space-time, this could explain quantum nonlocality as well as nonlocal gravity.
