The NUONs model describing particles structures and their interactions

A new and non conventional model is proposed to describe particles properties. The fundamental unit is a NUON (neutrinos and electrons). All particles have 2 axial nuons around which N other nuons are rotating (eg N=3 for a muon, 4 for a pion, 32 for a Kaon, 64 for a proton). The geometry is dictated by pure Coulomb interactions and angular momentum. The masses of the particles is computed with high accuracy, as well as the magnetic moment and size. The proposed new proton structure has been tested in many configurations and different energies: -proton-proton elastic scattering from ISR to LHC energies -electron-proton and positron-proton deep inelastic scattering at HERA energies -proton-proton inelastic collisions with very accurate description of the kinematics and types of the generated particles and jets. The seminar will be given with the perspective and motivation of somebody who has spent most of his career in developing simulation or analysis tools for most experiments in High Energy or Nuclear physics and witnessed the development of the standard model and its success.
