Propagators and Masses of Light Quarks

Based on Dyson-Schwinger equations in “rainbow“ approximation, fully dressed confining quark propagator is obtained, and then the masses of light quarks (mu, md, and ms) are derived from the fully dressed confining quark propagator. At the same time, the local and non-local quark vacuum condensates as well as the quark-gluon mixed condensate are also predicted. Furthermore, the quark masses are also deduced from the Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner relation and chiral perturbative theory. The results from different methods are consistent with each other.     

自能函数和夸克的动力学质量(英文)

研究夸克的质量是QCD研究中的一个非常重要问题。因为, 夸克质量是标准模型的基本输入参数, 准确地确定这些参数无论对于唯象的应用还是对于理论的应用都是极其重要的。基于参数化的完全穿衣服的夸克传播子, 研究了自能函数和夸克的动力学质量。理论预言了夸克质量和自能函数, 其结果与文献中的经验值相符合, 也与Dyson Schwinger方程解一致。反过来这也说明了参数化的夸克传播子是成功和可靠的。Study of mass of quark is one of the most important issues in the investigation of QCD. Because masses of quarks are fundamental QCD input parameters of standard Model, and an accurate determination of these parameters is extremely important for both phenomenological and theoretical applications. Based on the parameterized fully dressed quark propagator proposed by us, the theoretical predictions of the masses of quarks are predicted in this short note. The effective quark mass is defined by the scalar self energy function Bf(p2) and vector self energy function Af(p2). The results of our calculations are in agreement with the empirical values used widely in literature and also show that the parameterized form of quark propagator is an applicable and reliable approximation.     

Dynamically Running Mass of Light Quark and QCD Vacuum Condensates

Based on Dyson-Schwinger equations (DSEs) in “rainbow“ approximation, the dynamically running mass of light quark and QCD vacuum condensate are investigated. The structure of non-local quark vacuum condensate, the values of local vacuum condensate of quarks and quark-gluon mixture, and dynamical transition of quark mass from current quark to constituent quark are illustrated. At the same time, according to the knowledge and experience learned from an extensive study of the solutions of DSEs, a parameterized form of confining quark propagator is suggested for a practical use. The new parameterized form of quark propagator is analytic everywhere in the finite complex p2-plane and has no Lehmann representation. The predictions for p2-dependence of effective quark masses, Mf(p2), defined by the self-energy functions Af(p2) and Bf(p2), both from the numerical solutions of DSEs and from its parameterized form, are shown dynamically. Our conclusion is that all numerical results are consistent with empirical values used in QCD sum rules and lattice QCD calculations. For a qualitative study, the parameterized form is a sufficiently good approximation to confining quark propagator.     

Pion Decay Constant and Masses of Light Quarks and In-medium Goldstone Bosons

Based on the fully dressed confining quark propagator, the pion decay constant f_π, local quark vacuum condensate, and the masses of light quarks and in-medium Goldstone bosons are investigated. The pion decay constant f_π is predicted and compared with its value of experimental measurement. A great agreement is obtained. With the predicted f_π and values of Goldstone boson masses measured by experiments in free configuration the current masses of light quarks and the masses of in-medium Goldstone bosons are obtained.     

Parametrization of Fully Dressed Quark Propagator

Based on an extensive study of the Dyson-Schwinger equations for a fully dressed quark propagator in the “rainbow” approximation, a parametrized form of the quark propagator is suggested. The corresponding quark self-energy Σ_f and the structure of non-local quark vacuum condensate <0|:\bar{q}(x)q(0):|0> are investigated. The algebraic form of the quark propagator proposed in this work describes a confining quark propagation, and is quite convenient to be used in any numerical calculations.     

Dynamical Running Mass of Quark in the Dyson-Schwinger Equation Approach

Based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations of QCD in the "rainbow" approximation, the fully dressed quarkpropagator Sf(p) is investigated, and then an algebraic parametrization form of the propagator is obtained as a solutionof the equations. The dressed quark amplitudes Af and Bf built up the fully dressed quark propagator and the dynamicalrunning masses Mf defined by Af and Bf for light quarks u, d and s are calculated, respectively. Using the predictedrunning masses Mf, quark condensates <0|q(0)q(0)|0> = -(0.255 GeV)a for u, d quarks, and <0|s s|0> = 0.8<0|q(0)q(0)]0)for s quark, and experimental pion decay constant fπ = 0.093 GeV, the masses of Goldstone bosons K, π, and η are alsoevaluated. The numerical results show that the masses of quarks are dependent on their momentum p2. The fully dressedquark amplitudes Af and Bf have correct behaviors which can be used for many purposes in our future researches onnonperturbative QCD.     

Applicability of Parametrized Form of Fully Dressed Quark Propagator

According to extensive study of the Dyson-Schwinger equations for a fully dressed quark propagator in the "rainbow" approximation with an effective gluon propagator, a parametrized fully dressed confining quark propagator is suggested in this paper. The parametrized quark propagator describes a confined quark propagation in hadron, and is analytic everywhere in complex p2-plane and has no Lehmann representation. The vector and scalar self-energy functions [1 - Af(p2)] and [Bf(p2) - mf], dynamically running effective mass of quark Mf(p2) and the structure of non-local quark vacuum condensates as well as local quark vacuum condensates are predicted by use of the parametrized quark propagator. The results are compatible with other theoretical calculations.     

Validity of Parametrized Quark Propagator

Based on an extensively study of the Dyson-Schwinger equations for a fully dressed quark propagator in the “rainbow“ approximation, a parametrized fully dressed quark propagator is proposed in this paper. The parametrized propagator describes a confining quark propagator in hadron since it is analytic everywhere in complex p2-plane and has no Lemmann representation. The validity of the new propagator is discussed by comparing its predictions on selfenergy functions Af(p2), Bf(p2) and effective mass Mf(p2) of quark with flavor f to their corresponding theoretical results produced by Dyson-Schwinger equations. Our comparison shows that the parametrized quark propagator is a good approximation to the fully dressed quark propagator given by the solutions of Dyson-Schwinger equations in the rainbow approximation and is convenient to use in any theoretical calculations.

Dependence of Quark Effective Mass on Gluon Propagators

Based on Dyson Schwinger Equations （DSEs） in the “rainbow” approximation, the dependence of quark effective mass on gluon propagator is investigated by use of three different phenomenological gluon propagators with two parameters, the strength parameter x and range parameter △. Our theoretical calculations for the quark effective mass Mf（p^2）, defined by the self-energy functions Af（p^2） and Bi（p%2） of the DSEs, show that the dynamically running quark effective mass is strongly dependent on gluon propagator. Therefore, because gluon propagator is completely unknown, the quark effective mass cannot be exactly determined theoretically.
