Abstract
A further extension of the multiplet structure of broken is proposed. The "kinetic supermultiplets" are represented by reducible tensors and group together separate nondegenerate multiplets. The example of the lowest kinetic boson supermultiplet is treated in detail. Such a supermultiplet has already been shown by Borchi and Gatto to provide for a classification of the higher boson resonances. The mass relations are derived including first-order breaking. Comparison with the data shows a remarkable accuracy. The predicted equidistance relation between the squared masses of the resonances , , and is satisfied to ≳1.5%. A , meson at (970±50) MeV and a , meson at (1215±15) MeV are directly predicted. If , , and are included in the supermultiplet, as suggested by their quantum numbers, and the assumption is made that has a maximal mixing with another particle of the same and , one can predict in addition the following resonant masses: (1560±50) MeV with , ; (1270±30) MeV with , ; (1180±190) MeV and (990±200) MeV both with , . The supermultiplet also includes two mixed resonances and with . One of them could be or , the other resonance being then predicted at (1100±40) MeV or (1050±40) MeV, respectively.
