Phys. Rev. D 17, 1854–1861 (1978)Calculating the electron mass in terms of measured quantitiesReceived 12 December 1977; published in the issue dated 1 April 1978 We construct a class of models in which the electron mass can be calculated in terms of the fine-structure constant, the muon mass, and the Weinberg angle. We obtain me/mμ=N(α/πsin2θW) where N is a pure number of order 1 which depends on the specific model. (There are corrections to this formula which depend on parameters of the model, but which can be made arbitrarily small by arranging certain exotic gauge bosons to be heavy.) We show that within this class of models it is possible to obtain agreement with neutral-current data and the experimental value of me/mμ. © 1978 The American Physical Society URL:
