ABSTRACT IN considering the self-energy problem on the basis of the multiple-time formalism of quantum electrodynamics, Wentzel1 has obtained the relation where _m__n_(_s_) is the rest-mass

of a field-free particle, _m__n_ the corresponding mass in an electromagnetic field and _s_ the particle extension. If we now assume that _m__n_(_s_) and _m__n_ refer to the masses of two

fundamental particles _M_1 and _M_2 (expressed in terms of the electron mass _m_) it follows directly from equation (1) that Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
