The CBM model of the nucleus has been expanded into the realm of particle physics to attempt to predict the masses of the sub nuclear and elementary particles. This effort assumes that the masses, (as predicted by CBM) of the "up" quark at 237.31 MeV/c2 and the "dn" quark at 42.39 MeV/c2, are correct and attempts to establish a mathematical relationship that explains as many of the existing quarks and lepton masses as possible. Only the mass of the Top quark (175 GeV/c2 ) is inconsistent with this new scheme. The new mathematical algorithm, which relies heavily on the concept of geometric means, both within a generation and between generations, predicts two new generations of quarks and leptons. One of these new generations predicts quarks that are much lighter than the up and dn quarks and contains the electron as its lepton. The other predicted generation is heavier in mass than the generation containing t and b. This new massive generation contains a massive lepton of 27.0 - 27.4 GeV/c2, which this model calls the gluon. Also in this massive generation is a massive "up-like" quark dubbed "left" at 63 - 67 GeV/c2 and a massive "dn-like" quark dubbed "right" at 42.4 GeV/c2. Convergence of quarks and leptons takes place at about 424 GeV/c2. The key to this new model is finding a 7.5-7.6 MeV/c2 lepton for the hypothesized "up/dn" generation along with confirmation of the John Simpson neutrino.
