Nucleon-nucleon forces in a nonrelativistic quark model

Conclusion We have considered allNN-partial waves simultaneously. The central part of the one gluon exchange is always repulsive, the tensor part can be neglected and the spin-orbit part is too weak for this choice of parameters. An additional colourless V^MEP potential allows us to reproduce the experimental data. However, this potential cannot be related to a long range one-pion exchange potential.Presented at the symposium Mesons and Light Nuclei, Bechyn, Czechoslovakia, May 27–June 1, 1985.     

The nucleon-nucleon potential in the nonrelativistic quark model

The effective nucleon-nucleon potential is presented in the model with two three-quark clusters. The potential is nonlocal and nonadiabatic.The shape of the local adiabatic part strongly depends on the definition of the effective potential and on the choice of the subspace used in the calculation. To get some information about the repulsive core and the weak attractive part, one has also to take into account the nonlocal terms. Then for commonly used quark-quark interactions, a repulsive core is obtained, which is not very sensitive to the choice of the parameters of the quark-quark interaction; beyond the core there is a weak attraction.The trial function is constructed as a mixture of NN, ΔΔ and different coloured baryon-coloured baryon configurations. The trial function is an antisymmetric colour singlet with isospin T = 0, spin S = 1 and orbital angular momentum L = 0.     

Δ - Δ resonance in the nonrelativistic quark model

The Δ - Δ resonance is treated in the nonrelativistic quark model. The trial wave function is a colour singlet including N-N, Δ - Δ and coloured baryon channels. The effective Δ - Δ potential is repulsive at all distances for T=0, S=1, L=0,2,4 while for T=3, S=0, L=0 and T=0, S=3, L=0 it has a minimum. The GCM calculation gives for the latter state the binding emergy ～ -40 MeV.     

Spin distributions in the quark parton model

Spin-dependent parton distributions are described in a broken SU(6) quark parton model. The model predicts definite forms for the spin-dependent structure functions in deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering and leads to several relations between Regge intercepts and couplings. Resonance electroproduction at large momentum transfer is explored via Bloom-Gilman duality.     

Coupling constants and the nonrelativistic quark model with charmonium potential

Hadronic coupling constants of the vertices including charm mesons are calculated in a nonrelativistic quark model. The wave functions of the mesons which enter the corresponding overlap integrals are obtained from the charmonium picture as quark-anti-quark bound state solutions of the Schrödinger equation. The model for the vertices takes into account in a dynamical way the SU₄ breakings through different masses of quarks and different wave functions in the overlap integrals. All hadronic vertices involving scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, pseudovector and tensor mesons are calculated up to an overall normalization constant. Regularities among the couplings of mesons and their radial excitations are observed: (i) Couplings decrease with increasing order of radial excitations; (ii) in general they change sign if a particle is replaced by its next radial excitation. The k-dependence of the vertices is studied. This has potential importance in explaining the unorthodox ratios in different decay channels (e.g. $\text{D}\text{D}\text{, D}\text{D}{}^1\text{, D}{}^1\text{D}{}^1$). Having got the hadronic couplings radiative transitions are obtained with the current coupled to mesons and their recurrences. The resulting width values are smaller than those conventionally obtained in the native quark model. The whole picture is only adequate for nonrelativistic configurations, as for the members of the charmonium- or of the γ-family and most calculations have been done for transitions among charmed states. To see how far nonrelativistic concepts can be applied, couplings of light mesons are also considered.     

To the description of hadron mass spectrum in the nonrelativistic quark potential model

The comparison of different confinement models of hadrons in non-relativistic quark potential model with the use of hyperspherical functions is carried out in the present work. Numerical values of the masses of non-strange (the lightest) hadrons belonging to the meson octet and baryon decuplet are obtained in this model. The best values of masses are obtained with the potential which incorporates the quasi-relativistic one-gluon exchange and the confinement termAr ⁿ withn=2/3. The natural appearance of the Yukawa-type potential in this model is also discussed.     

Static properties and semileptonic decays of doubly heavy baryons in a nonrelativistic quark model

We evaluate static properties and semileptonic decays for the ground state of doubly heavy Ξ, Ξ', Ξ ^* and Ω, Ω', Ω ^* baryons. Working in the framework of a nonrelativistic quark model, we solve the three-body problem by means of a variational ansatz made possible by heavy-quark spin symmetry constraints. To check the dependence of our results on the inter-quark interaction we use five different quark-quark potentials that include a confining term plus Coulomb and hyperfine terms coming from one-gluon exchange. Our results for static properties (masses, charge radii and magnetic moments) are, with a few exceptions for the magnetic moments, in good agreement with a previous Faddeev calculation. Our much simpler wave functions are used to evaluate semileptonic decays of doubly heavy Ξ, Ξ'(J = 1/2) and Ω, Ω'(J = 1/2) baryons. Our results for the decay widths are in good agreement with calculations done within a relativistic quark model in the quark-diquark approximation. An erratum to this article is available at .     

Isobaric degrees of freedom in nuclei as determined from nonrelativistic quark model

Isobaric degrees of freedom δδ in nuclei are determined from the quark cluster model of a nucleus. These additional degrees of freedom are brought in by the coloured quark exchange between different nucleon clusters present in nuclei. They are found to be important in the region of momentum transfer near 3.5 fm⁻¹. The mass dependence of these isobaric degrees of freedom in nuclei turns out to beA ^5/6.     

Rigorous bounds on quark masses within a nonrelativistic approach

By applying the Feynman-Hellmann theorem to \(q\bar q\) systems we find the following bounds on quark mass differences from the spectrum ofall quarkonium states $$\begin{gathered} 0.27 \leqq m_s - m_u \leqq 0.45GeV \hfill \\ 1.23 \leqq m_c - m_s \leqq 1.46GeV \hfill \\ 3.30 \leqq m_b - m_c \leqq 3.55GeV. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ As best values we derive $$\begin{gathered} m_u = m_d = 0.31GeV,m_s = 0.62GeV, \hfill \\ m_c = 1.91GeV,m_b = 5.27GeV. \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$
