Abstract
There are two contributions to the propagator, one from massless field quanta which doesn’t have a running coupling, and one from massive field quanta which generate the logarithmic running contribution to mass above the IR cutoff of about 0.5 Mev, which is utilized in renormalization procedures. In other words, the observed particle mass below 0.5 Mev (where no pair production, vacuum polarization, or running of mass and coupling occur), is predictable from integral of the massless Coulomb field potential Feynman diagram. (This paper further develops the theory discussed in “Mechanism of renormalization can predict particle masses,” N. B. Cook, vixra, 24 July 2014.)
