Heavy Meson Description with a Screened Potential
2003
We perform a quark model calculation of the $b\bar{b}$ and $c\bar{c}$ spectra from a screened funnel potential form suggested by unquenched lattice calculations. A connection between the lattice screening parameter and an effective gluon mass directly derived from QCD is established. Spin-spin energy splittings, leptonic widths and radiative decays are also examined providing a test for the description of the states.
Heavy meson interquark potential
2011
The resolution of Dyson-Schwinger equations leads to the freezing of the QCD running coupling (effective charge) in the infrared, which is best understood as a dynamical generation of a gluon mass function, giving rise to a momentum dependence which is free from infrared divergences. We calculate the interquark potential for heavy mesons by assuming that it is given by a massive One Gluon Exchange potential and compare with phenomenologyical fits inspired by lattice QCD. We apply these potential forms to the description of quarkonia and conclude that, even though some aspects of the confinement mechanism are absent in the Dyson Schwinger formalism, the results for the spectrum are surprisin…
Vector Mesons and Dence Skyrmion Matter
2004
In our continuing effort to understand hadronic matter at high density, we have developed a unified field theoretic formalism for dense skyrmion matter using a single Lagrangian to describe simultaneously both matter and meson fluctuations and studied in-medium properties of hadrons. Dropping the quartic Skyrme term, we incorporate into our previous Lagrangian the vector mesons rho and omega in a form which is consistent with the symmetries of QCD. The results that we have obtained, reported here, expose a hitherto unsuspected puzzle associated with the role the omega meson plays at short distance. Since the omega meson couples to baryon density, it leads to a pseudo-gap scenario for the ch…
The Proton Spin in the Chiral Bag Model : Casimir Contribution and Cheshire Cat Principle
1998
The flavor singlet axial charge has been a source of study in the last years due to its relation to the so called {\it Proton Spin Problem}. The relevant flavor singlet axial current is anomalous, i.e., its divergence contains a piece which is the celebrated $U_A(1)$ anomaly. This anomaly is intimately associated with the $\eta^\prime$ meson, which gets its mass from it. When the gauge degrees of freedom of QCD are confined within a volume as is presently understood, the $U_A(1)$ anomaly is known to induce color anomaly leading to "leakage" of the color out of the confined volume (or bag). For consistency of the theory, this anomaly should be canceled by a boundary term. This ``color bounda…
Gluon polarization in the nucleon from quasi-real photoproduction of high-pT hadron pairs
2006
Abstract We present a determination of the gluon polarization Δ G / G in the nucleon, based on the helicity asymmetry of quasi-real photoproduction events, Q 2 1 ( GeV / c ) 2 , with a pair of large transverse-momentum hadrons in the final state. The data were obtained by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV polarized muon beam scattered on a polarized 6 LiD target. The helicity asymmetry for the selected events is 〈 A ∥ / D 〉 = 0.002 ± 0.019 ( stat ) ± 0.003 ( syst ) . From this value, we obtain in a leading-order QCD analysis Δ G / G = 0.024 ± 0.089 ( stat ) ± 0.057 ( syst ) at x g = 0.095 and μ 2 ≃ 3 ( GeV / c ) 2 .
Hadronic contribution to the muong−2factor: A theoretical determination
2012
The leading-order hadronic contribution to the muon $g\ensuremath{-}2$, ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\mathrm{HAD}}$, is determined entirely from theory using an approach based on Cauchy's theorem in the complex squared energy $s$-plane. This is possible after fitting the integration kernel in ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\mathrm{HAD}}$ with a simpler function of $s$. The integral determining ${a}_{\ensuremath{\mu}}^{\mathrm{HAD}}$ in the light-quark region is then split into a low-energy and a high-energy part, the latter given by perturbative QCD (PQCD). The low energy integral involving the fit function to the integration kernel is determined by derivatives of the vector correlator at the origin,…
Analysis of the deuteron spin structure by COMPASS
2007
New results on the longitudinal inclusive spin asymmetry A 1 d in the range 1 Q 2 100 (GeV/c) 2 and 0.004 x 0.7 are presented. From these results we derive the spin-dependent structure function g 1 d which we include in a QCD analysis of the world data. The data were obtained by the COMPASS experiment at CERN using a 160 GeV polarized muon beam scattered off a large polarized 6 LiD target. The results are in agreement with those from previous experiments and improve considerably the statistical accuracy in the region 0.004 x 0.03 .
LOW-ENERGY QCD II — STATUS OF LATTICE CALCULATIONS
2013
The current status of lattice calculations is reviewed, with a particular emphasis on the question whether lattice simulations have matured to a stage where there is full interaction with experiment. Particular examples include the hadron spectrum, mesonic form factors and decay constants, the axial charge of the nucleon, and the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the muon (g-2).
