Baryon models in a circular extra space

Models of proton, neutron and other baryons were developed using a dual space concept. Charge, mass and spin of the models have its origin in a circular eigenspace fixed to the structure of each particle. Six partons (birotons) appear as structural components of a baryon model. The baryon charge is the sum of the parton charges, which are always integer elementary charges. The baryon spin is the sum of all parton spins, each parton carries a spin of the magnitude ℏ/4. The baryon mass is the sum of all parton masses. The masses of a parton determines also the relative magnetic moment of the parton, carrying an electromagnetic (em) charge. The magnetic moment of the baryon μ/μ_{N} is the sum of all contributions of partons carrying em charges. Examples are given for baryon models with J^{P}=(1/2)⁺ and (3/2)⁺. The numerical results of the models are in most cases within the measuring uncertainties of the observed values, except for the models of proton and neutron. Masses and relative magnetic moments of the proton and neutron models have six or seven decimals in agreement with the observed values. The differences between the proposed model and the quark model are discussed. A single biroton represents a lepton model, already described in a previous article (‘A joint model of particles and spactime’). A single biroton has six dimensions, a baryon model consisting of six birotons (partons) has 26 dimensions. This represents the 'characteristic dimension' of mathematically consistent string theories, however the models discussed in this article don't contain strings.
