Kinetic Supermultiplets ofŨ(12)

Abstract
A further extension of the multiplet structure of broken Ũ(12) 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 SU3 breaking. Comparison with the data shows a remarkable accuracy. The predicted equidistance relation 12[m2(A2)+m2(A1)]=m2(B) between the squared masses of the resonances A1, A2, and B is satisfied to ≳1.5%. A T=1, JPC=0++ meson at (970±50) MeV and a T=0, JPC=1+ meson at (1215±15) MeV are directly predicted. If K*(1430), κ(725), and f0(1253) are included in the supermultiplet, as suggested by their quantum numbers, and the assumption is made that f0 has a maximal mixing with another particle of the same T and JPC, one can predict in addition the following resonant masses: (1560±50) MeV with T=0, JPC=2++; (1270±30) MeV with T=0, JPC=1+; (1180±190) MeV and (990±200) MeV both with T=0, JPC=1++. The supermultiplet also includes two mixed K resonances K and K with JP=1+. One of them could be
