Have we already observed the variants of Mk hadron physics for k>107?

TGD predicts besides M₈₉ hadron physics as a scaled up version of the ordinary hadron physics also k>107 hadron physics. Suppose that only Mersenne primes and their Gaussian counterparts correspond to these hadron physics (primes near prime powers two cannot be excluded). For k>107, only the Mersenne prime k=127 associated also with the electron defines a p-adic length scale, which is not super-astronomical. There are several Gaussian primes corresponding to k∈ {113,151,157,163,167}. k=113 corresponds to the nuclear length scale and k∈ {151,157,163,167} to 4 miracle length scales in the range 10 nm-2.5 μm, which in the TGD framework would be important for cell nucleus and DNA.

Could all these length scales correspond to scaled copies of hadron physics with k>107?

1. For TGD analog of quark gluon phase quarks are massless in the sense that they satisfy the massless induced Dirac equations at the space-time surface X⁴. In this phase the quarks do not "know" which p-adic length scale they correspond to. In hadronization they become fermions satisfying the Dirac equation either in the embedding space H=M⁴× CP₂ or inside the causal diamond CD= cd× CP₂ serving the role of quantization volume. It is not clear which of these options is correct.
2. In hadronization fundamental quarks transform to color partial waves in CP₂ and correspond to a color multiplet in CP₂. This process occurs also for leptons. Quarks form color triplets and these in turn combine to color singlets. This proves involves formation of tachyonic states reducing the mass scale from the CP₂ scale of fundamental quarks to the mass scale of the physical quarks in hadrons and to the hadronic mass scale.

   Hadronization can take place to any color multiplet (quark-like or leptonic) so that a hierarchy of scaled variants of hadron physics is predicted. M₈₉ hadron physics is the hadron physics for this there are indications at LHC and RHIC.

3. Dark M₈₉ hadrons are created in the TGD counterpart of quark-gluon plasma emerging at quantum criticality. The assumption that ratio h_eff(89)/h of the effective Planck constants equals the ratio of L(107)/L(89)= 2⁹ guarantees that the Compton lengths of M₈₉ and M₁₀₇ hadrons are identical. This is natural at quantum criticality.

The quarks of hadron physics with k>107 can also combine also to dark hadrons of M₁₀₇ hadron physics in such a way that they have Compton lengths of hadrons of M_k hadron physics for k>107 but have masses of ordinary hadrons. What kind of predictions does this give.

1. Nuclei correspond to Gaussian Mersenne k=113 and have p-adic length scale about L(113)=8L(107)∼ 10^-8 m. Could the nucleons inside nuclei be dark nuclei with Compton length many particles states of dark nuclei?

   What does this predict? M₈₉ hadrons can decay to ordinary hadrons, say pions. In the same way, dark M₁₀₇ hadrons can decay to pions of M₈₉ hadron physics. The mass of M₈₉ pion is m(π)/8∼ 17.5 MeV. This is precisely the mass of the particle observed and interpreted in terms of the fifth force (see this). Also other M₈₉ mesons should be found.

2. The TGD based model for "cold fusion" as dark fusion leads to the proposal that the process occurs at quantum criticality in which phases with non-standard value of h_eff>h are formed. The Compton length scale of dark nucleons corresponds to M₁₂₇ defining the Compton length scale of electrons. Could this mean that dark fusion corresponds to the formation of dark hadrons assignable to M₁₂₇. This would make possible the overlap of nucleons and allow it to overcome the Coulomb wall and in this way make possible "cold fusion" (see this, this, this, and this). This process could occur also in ordinary nuclear reactions and make possible quantum tunnelling through the Coulomb wall. If so the standard model assuming that the energy production of the Sun occurs at hot core, could be wong and this model indeed has numerous anomalies. In the TGD framework this leads to a model of the Sun in which solar energy and solar wind are produced in a transformation of M₈₉ nuclei to ordinary nuclei which experience "cold fusion" to ordinary nuclei (see this).

   One particular testable signature of the model would be the production of M₁₂₇ pions decaying to gamma pairs with total energy of .14 MeV. Also other M₁₂₇ mesons are produced.

3. The TGD based quantum biology could rely on ordinary dark nuclei associated with the number theoretical miracle defined by the 4 closely spaced Gaussian Mersennes with k∈ {151,157,163,167}. The signature would be gamma pairs produced by the decays of the pions of the hadron physics in question with a total energy equal to the mass of the pion. Their masses are {8 keV, 1 keV, .25 keV, 3.125 eV} and it should be possible to test this prediction. There are indeed empirical indications that quarks play a role in biology. Topologist Barbara Shipman (see for instance this) developed a model of honeybee dance, which paradoxically suggested that quark color could play a key role in biology. This led to the TGD based model for what might be involved (see this and this). If his proposal is correct, all 4 dark variants of hadron physics would play a key role in the quantum physics of cell nucleus and DNA.
