Meson decays in an extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with heavy quark flavors

In a previous work, we proposed an extended Nmnbu-Jona-Lasinio （NJL） model including heavy quark flavors. In this work, we will calculate strong and radiative decays of vector mesons in this extended NJL model, including light p, w, K＊, θ and heavy D＊, D＊s, B＊, Bs＊.     

Self-consistent mean field approximation and application in three-flavor NJL model

In this study, we apply a self-consistent mean field approximation of the three-flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio(NJL) model and compare it with the two-flavor NJL model. The self-consistent mean field approximation introduces a new parameter, α, that cannot be fixed in advance by the mean field approach itself. Due to the lack of experimental data, the parameter, α, is undetermined. Hence, it is regarded as a free parameter and its influence on the chiral phase transition of strong interaction matter is studied based on this self-consistent mean field approximation. α affects numerous properties of the chiral phase transitions, such as the position of the phase transition point and the order of phase transition. Additionally, increasing α will decrease the number densities of different quarks and increase the chemical potential at which the number density of the strange quark is non-zero. Finally, we observed that α affects the equation of state(EOS) of the quark matter, and the sound velocity can be calculated to determine the stiffness of the EOS, which provides a good basis for studying the neutron star mass-radius relationship.     

Mass spectra and decay of mesons under strong external magnetic field

We study the mass spectra and decay process of σ and begin{document}$ pi_0 $end{document} mesons under a strong external magnetic field. To achieve this goal, we deduce the thermodynamic potential in a two-flavor, hot and magnetized Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. We calculate the energy gap equation through the random phase approximation (RPA). Then we use the Ritus method to calculate the decay triangle diagram and self-energy in the presence of a constant magnetic field B. Our results indicate that the magnetic field has little influence on the mass of begin{document}$ pi_0 $end{document} at low temperatures. However, for quarks and σ mesons, their mass clearly changes, which reflects the influence of magnetic catalysis (MC). The presence of a magnetic field accelerates the decay of the meson while the presence of a chemical potential will decrease the decay process.     

Propagators for Scalar Bound States at Finite Temperature in an NJL Model

We re-examine physical causal propagators for scalar and pseudoscalar bound states at finite temperaturein a chiral Ut(1) x UR(1) NJL model, defined by four-point amputated fimctions subtracted through the gap equation,and prove that they are completely equivalent in the imaginary-time and real-time formalisms by separating carefiullythe imaginary part of the zero-temperature loop integral. It is shown that the same thermal transformation matrix ofthe matrix propagators for these bound states in the real-time formalism is precisely the one of the matrix propagatorfor an elementary scalar particle and this fact shows the similarity of thermodynamic property between a composite andelementary scalar particle. The retarded and advanced propagators for these bound states are also given explicitly fromthe imaginary-time formalism.     

两味LOFF态下的色超导

自从色超导理论被提出以来, 通常考虑的是参与配对的夸克的化学势不相等时的情形。 当化学势的差别达到某一合适值时, 库柏对就有非零的总动量, 这就是Larkin Ovchinnikov Fulde Ferre(LOFF)态。 这种形式的夸克凝聚自发破坏了平移不变性和旋转不变性, 导致能隙以晶格的形式周期性变化。 在中等重子数密度区的基础上, 从SU（2） NJL模型出发描述两味LOFF态, 并通过平均场近似, 引用N G基底、 傅立叶变换和频率求和等方法得到热力学势, 进而通过热力学势对序参量求偏导得到耦合的Gap方程, 并使用数值法解耦合方程找到LOFF态的窗口。 Ever since the theory of color superconductivity was issued, it is likely to involve pairing between species of quarks with differing chemical potentials. For suitable values of the differences between chemical potentials, Cooper pairs with non zero total momentum are favored, as was first realized by Larkin, Ovchinnikov, Fulde and Ferrell (LOFF). Condensates of this sort spontaneously break translational and rotational invariance, leading to gaps which vary periodically in a crystalline pattern. This article focuses on the two flavor color superconducting phase at moderate baryon density. LOFF state is described through SU(2) NJL model. By using the mean field approximation, N G basis, fourier transformation, frequency summation, the thermodynamic potential and Gap equation are obtained. Finally, the window of LOFF state is found by the numerical method.     

Do we need to use regularization for the thermal part in the NJL model?

The Nambu–Jona-Lasinio(NJL)model is one of the most useful tools for studying non-perturbative strong interactions in matter.Because it is a nonrenormalizable model,the choice of regularization is a subtle issue.In this paper,we discuss one of the general issues regarding regularization in the NJL model,which is whether we need to use regularization for the thermal part by evaluating the quark chiral condensate and thermal properties in the two-flavor NJL model.The calculations in this work include three regularization schemes that contain both gauge covariant and invariant schemes.We found that,regardless of the regularization scheme we choose,it is necessary to use regularization for the thermal part when calculating physical quantities related to the chiral condensate and to not use regularization for the thermal part when calculating physical quantities related to the grand potential.     

Two-Point Function Reduction of Four-Point Amputated Functions and Transformations in FF and RA Basis in a Real-Time Finite Temperature NJL Model

Based on a general analysis of Green functions in the real-time thermal field theory, we have proven that the four-point amputated functions in an NJL model in the fermion bubble diagram approximation behave like usual two-point functions. We expound the thermal transformations of the matrix propagators for a scalar bound state in the FF basis and in the RA basis respectively. The resulting physical causal, advanced and retarded propagators are respectively identical to corresponding ones derived in the imaginary-time formalism, and this shows once again the complete equivalence of the two formalisms of thermal field theory on the discussed problem in the NJL model.     

Pseudoscalar neutral mesons in hot and dense matter

The behavior of neutral pseudoscalar mesons π⁰,η and η′ in hot and dense matter is investigated, in the framework of the three flavor Nambu–Jona-Lasinio model. Three different scenarios are considered: zero density and finite temperature, zero temperature and finite density in a flavor asymmetric medium with and without strange valence quarks, and finite temperature and density. The behavior of mesons is analyzed in connection with possible signatures of restoration of symmetries. In the high density region and at zero temperature it is found that the mass of the η′ increases, the deviation from the mass of the η being more pronounced in matter without strange valence quarks.     

引入Polyakov环路的手征模型中的涨落与相变

We explore the NJL model with Polyakov loops for a system of three colors and two flavors within the mean-field approximation, where both chiral symmetry and confinement are taken into account. We focus on the phase structure of the model and study the chiral and Polyakov loop susceptibilities.
