AETHERON: STABLE ELECTRON-POSITRON STRUCTURE AND ITS EXPERIMENTAL CONFIRMATION

This work introduces the Aetheron hypothesis — a stable electron-positron bound state as an alternative to the standard annihilation interpretation. Using energy balance in a closed deterministic system (DTA), parameters are derived: radius 𝑟 = 1.41 × 10−15m, binding energy 1.022 MeV. It is shown that force is a derivative of energy, and the tangential inertia component (𝐹𝑡 ≠ 0, advancing the electron along the orbit) ensures stability without losses. Experimental confirmation: γ-irradiation of Pb in the range 0.4–1.5 MeV with measurement of pressure and residual mass. Expected: at 𝐸𝛾 > 1.022MeV — Aetheron destruction with energy absorption, release of positron and electron with kinetic energy proportional to 𝐸𝛾.
