The(q\bar q) - pion and its decay constant in a chiral potential modeland its decay constant in a chiral potential model

Pion mass and its decay constant have been studied in a chiral symmetric potential model of independent quarks. The non-perturbative multi-gluon interaction which is responsible for quark confinement in a hadron is phenomenologically represented here by an effective potentialU(r) = 1/2(1 +γ ⁰)(ar ² +V ₀). The residual interactions due to quark-pion coupling arising out of the chiral symmetry preservation and that due to quark-gluon coupling arising out of single-gluon exchange are treated as low order perturbations. The centre of mass correction is also taken into account appropriately. This leads to the mass in consistency with that of the PCAC-pion and the pion decay constant in reasonable agreement with experiment.     

Pion Effect of Nuclear Matter in a Chiral Sigma Model

We develop a new framework for the study of the nuclear matter based on the linear sigma model.We introduce a completely new viewpoint on the treatment of the nuclear matter with the inclusion of the pion.We extend the relativistic chiral mean field model by using the similar method in the tensor optimized shell model.We also regulate the pion-nucleon interaction by considering the form-factor and short range repulsion effects.We obtain the equation of state of nuclear matter and study the importance of the pion effect.     

Quark-pion coupling constant in a chiral quark model

Incorporating chiral-symmetry to the potential model of quarks with confining potentialU(r)=1/2 (1 +γ°)ar ² with m _q =10 MeV anda=2.273 fm⁻³ that gives a reasonable quark-core contribution to μ _p , 〈r ² 〉 _p ^1/2 andg _A , the quark-pion coupling constant for quarks in a nucleon is estimated.G _qqπ ² /4π obtained between 0.4 and 0.5 is consistent with those extracted from experimental vector meson decay-width ratios by Suzuki and Bhaduri. The nucleon-pion coupling constantG _NNπ ² /4π comes out to be of the order of 13.1 in reasonable agreement with the experimental value.     

Effect of a Small Current Quark Mass on Bag Constant

A method for obtaining the small current quark mass effect on the dressed quark propagator within the Dyson-Schwinger approach is developed. From this the small current quark mass dependence of the bag constant is evaluated. It is found that the bag constant decreases with the increasing current quark mass and the contribution of the current quark mass cannot be dropped.     

On the slow decay ofO(2) correlations in the absence of topological excitations: Remark on the Patrascioiu-Seiler model

For spin models withO(2)-invariant ferromagnetic interactions, the Patrascioiu-Seiler constraint is |arg(S(x))–arg(S(y))|₀ for all |x–y|=1. It is shown that in two-dimensional systems of two-component spins the imposition of such contraints with ₀ small enough indeed results in the suppression of exponential clustering. More explicitly, it is shown that in such systems on every scale the spin-spin correlation function obeys S(x)·S(y)1/(2|x–y|²) at any temperature, includingT=. The derivation is along the lines proposed by A. Patrascioiu and E. Seiler, with the yet unproven conjectures invoked there replaced by another geometric argument.Dedicated to Oliver Penrose on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

Chiral SU(4) × SU(4) breaking: masses and decay constants of charmed hadrons

The (4, 4*) ⊕ (4*, 4) model of broken chiral SU (4) × SU (4) symmetry has been used to calculate the third-order coupling constants involving charmed and ordinary pseudoscalar mesons. These coupling constants are exploited to derive some interesting new relations among the masses and decay constants of these charmed particles. Using the known masses and decay constants as inputs, we exploit these relations to predict:F _D = −1·41F _π ,F _F = −1·13F _π ,F _D/F_F = 1·25,m(D _s) = 1·43 GeV,m(F _s) = 1·39 GeV andm(K _s) = 1·02 GeV.     

Electromagnetic form factors of nucleons in a relativistic square-root potential model of independent quarks

The nucleon electromagnetic form factorsG _E ^P (q²),G _M ^P (q²) and the axial-vector form factor G_A(q²) are studied in a relativistic model of independent quarks confined by an equally mixed scalar-vector square root potentialV _q(r)=1/2(1+γ ⁰)(ar ^1/2+ν ₀) taking into account the appropriate centre-of-mass corrections. The respective root-mean-square radii associated withG _E ^P (q²) and G _A (q²) come out as [〈r ²〉 _E ^P ]^1/2=0.86 fm and 〈r _A ² 〉^1/2=0.88 fm. Restoration of chiral symmetry in this model is discussed to derive the pion-nucleon form factorG _πNN(q²) and consequently the pion-nucleon coupling constant is obtained asg _πNN(q²)=12.81 as compared tog _πNN(q²)_exp⋍13.     

Semileptonic (Λ b → Λcev) decay in a field theoretic quark model

The semileptonic decay width of heavy baryons such as (Λ _b → Λcev) has been estimated in the framework of a nonrelativistic field theoretic quark model where four component quark field operators along with a harmonic oscillator wave function are used to describe translationally invariant hadronic states. The present estimation does not make an explicit use of heavy quark symmetry and has a reasonable agreement with the experimentally measured decay width, polarisation ratio and form factors with the harmonic oscillator radii and quark momentum distribution inside the hadron as free parameters.     

Spurious Center of Mass Effects in Electroweak Decays

The microscopic treatment of the spurious motion of the center of mass in nuclear many-body systems is reviewed. In this talk we present and compare the results of using the counterterms which are needed to fulfill the translational and Galilean invariances, and those obtained by using collective variables. The formalism is applied to the calculation of matrix elements of electroweak operators, as those which are active in the (^-, e^-) conversion process.     

KN Phase Shifts in Chiral SU(3) Quark Model

The isospin I = 0 and I = 1 kaon-nucleon S and P partial waves phase shifts have been studied in the chiral SU(3) quark model by solving a resonating group method equation. When the parameters of the chiral fields are taken in a reasonable region, the numerical results of S-wave are in good agreement with the experimental data, and the P-wave phase shifts can also be explained qualitatively by the calculation of only central force considered.     

Axial charges of N (1535) and N (1650) in two-flavor lattice QCD

We show the lattice QCD results on the axial charge g~(N~*N~*)_A of negative parity nucleon resonances, N~*(1535) and N~*(1650), which are key clues to the chiral structure in baryon sector. The measurements are performed with up and down dynamical quarks employing the renormalization-group improved gauge action at β=1.95 and the ο(a) improved clover quark action with the hopping parameters, κ=0.1375, 0.1390 and 0.1400. In order to properly separate signals of N~*(1535) and N~*(1650), we construct 2×2 correlation matrices and diagonalize them. Wraparound contributions in the correlator, which can be another source of signal contaminations, are eliminated by imposing the Dirichlet boundary condition in the temporal direction. We find that the axial charge of N~* (1535) takes small values as g~(N~*N~*)～ο(0.1), whereas that of N~*(1650) is about 0.5, which is found independent of quark masses and consistent with the predictions by the naive nonrelativistic quark model.     

Production representation of partial wave scattering amplitudes and the fo（600） particle

The establishlnent of production representation of partial wave scattering alnplitudes is reviewed in the context of quantum field theory. Its relation to the production representation, or Ning Hu representation in quantum mechanical scattering theory is pointed out. One of the most important application of the production representation is the physics of the fo（600） and K（700） scalar hadron resonances, on which we also give a brief review. It is emphasized that all evidences accunmlated so far are consistent with the picture that the fo（600） meson is the chiral partner of the Nambu Goldstone bosons in a linear realization of chiral symmetry.     

Magnetic moments of octet baryons in a chiral potential model

Incorporating the lowest-order pionic correction, the magnetic moments of the nucleon octet have been calculated in a chiral potential model. The potential, representing phenomenologically the nonperturbative gluon interactions including gluon self-couplings, is chosen with equally mixed scalar and vector parts in a power-law form. The results are in reasonable agreement with experiment.     

Study of semileptonic decays Bs→Ds1(2536)l(v) and Bs→Ds2(2573)l(v) in the CQM model

Based on the assumption that Ds1 (2536) and Ds2 (2573) belong to T doublet (1+,2+),we calculate the semileptonic decays of Bs to Ds1(2536) and Ds2(2573) in terms of the Constituent Quark Meson (CQM)model.For Bs→Ds1(2536)+l(v) and Bs→Ds2(2573)+l(v),the order of magnitude of the obtained branching ratios is 10-3.Our numerical results of the semileptonic decays of Bs to Ds1(2536) and Ds2(2573) are large,which implies that two semileptonic decays should be seen in future experiments.     

Study of ψ(4415) in the QPC model

Some authors consider the ψ(4415) to be the 4S or 5S excited state of a c-c pair.Starting from this assumption,we study the decays of the ψ(4415) to DD,D*D-*,DsD-s,D*SD*S~,and get the corresponding branching ratios in terms of the Quark-Pair-Creation (QPC) model.Compared with the experimental data,we find that the results of 4S state agree much better than those of the 5S state.Therefore,it is more reasonable to assume the ψ(4415) to be a 4S state.     

Supersymmetric SU C (4) × SU L (2) × SU R (2) and spontaneous breakdown of symmetries

A supersymmetric version of the left right symmetric partial unification group SU _C (4) × SU _L (2) × SU _R (2) is presented. The spontaneous breakdown of gauge symmetry in a favourable chain of descent has been studied in detail. The mass spectra have been calculated. The method of O’Raifeartaigh has been used to break supersymmetry. The lifting of degeneracy of mass levels between physical multiplets has been shown to occur due to radiative corrections.     

Mass spectrum of elementary particles in a temperature-dependent model

We show that the temperature-generalization of a popular model of quark-confinement seems to provide a rather interesting insight into the origin of mass of elementary particles: as the universe cooled, there was an era when particles did not have an identity since their masses were variable; the temperature at which the conversion of these ‘nomadic’ particles into ‘elementary’ particles took place seems to have been governed by the value of a dimension-less coupling constantC _c. ForC _c=0.001(0.1) this temperature is of the order of 10⁹ K (10¹¹ K), below which the particle masses do not change.
