The maximon and minimon in light of a possible formulation of the concept of an "elementary particle"
Markov M. A.
A possible definition of the concept of an "elementary particle" which would include the entire list of particles which, on occasion, are still referred to in the literature as "elementary" (nucleons, baryon, etc.) is discussed. There is a version of the theory in which a "maximon" (the particle with the maximum mass in the mass spectrum of "elementary particles") determines the numerical value of the "minimon" (the particle with the smallest nonzero mass).
