Dirac operator spectrum in the linear σ model
2003
Abstract The spectrum of the Dirac operator for the linear σ Model with quarks in the large Nc approximation is presented. The spectral density can be related to the chiral condensate which is obtained using renormalization group flow equations. For small eigenvalues, the Banks-Casher relation and the vanishing linear correaction are recovered. The spectrum beyond the low energy regime is discussed.
New physics effects in tree-level decays and the precision in the determination of the quark mixing angle γ.
2015
We critically review the assumption that no new physics is acting in tree-level B-meson decays and study the consequences for the ultimate precision in the direct determination of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) angle γ. In our exploratory study we find that sizeable universal new physics contributions, ΔC1,2, to the tree-level Wilson coefficients C1,2 of the effective Hamiltonian describing weak decays of the b quark are currently not excluded by experimental data. In particular, we find that ImΔC1 and ImΔC2 can easily be of order ±10% without violating any constraints from data. Such a size of new physics effects in C1 and C2 corresponds to an intrinsic uncertainty in the CKM angle γ …
The neutrinoless double beta decay of 76Ge, 82Se, 86Kr, 114Cd, 128, 130Te and 134, 136Xe in the framework of a relativistic quark confinement model
1991
The half-life of the 0+ → 0+ neutrinoless double beta decay is calculated for 76Ge, 82Se, 86Kr, 114Cd, 128, 130Te and 134, 136Xe and the upper limit for the effective neutrino mass of 3.0 eV is deduced from available experimental data. In addition, the contribution of the right-handed charged weak currents to the effective weak hamiltonian is estimated. The relevant parameters attain the values |〈Λ〉| < 4.1 × 10−6 and |〈ν〉| < 6.6 × 10−8. The nucleonic weak current is treated starting from the current quark level and evaluating the quark current using relativistic quark wave functions obtained from a Dirac equation with a harmonic confinement potential. The nuclear matrix elements of the thus…
Quark exchange in deep inelastic scattering
1995
We use a model for baryons that links the constituent structure to the deep inelastic (current) properties. The approach consists in a laboratory partonic description (based on a model of hadron structure), to which a low momentum scaleQ 0 is adscribed, which is evolved to high momenta by means of the renormalization group. A generalization of the model by means of the hadronic quark cluster decomposition, provides a description of the structure functions of nuclei and is the starting point to study the effects that the antisymmetrization at the quark level has on the structure function of a model deuteron. The analysis contains conventional and high momentum partonic components. We next st…
Microscopic description of the nucleon- Delta interaction in the quark cluster model.
1995
By using a nonrelativistic quark cluster model to describe baryonic systems, we generate a nucleon-{Delta} potential from the elementary interaction between constituents. The basic quark-quark potential used provides, when applied to the nucleon-nucleon system, an adequate description of the scattering phase shifts, the deuteron properties and the nonstrange baryonic spectroscopy. Special attention is paid to the short-range behavior of the interaction and its connection to the quark Pauli principle. This establishes a conceptual difference with meson-exchange models where the interaction, due to the lack of data, is not even well defined.
Pion parton distributions in a nonlocal Lagrangian
2005
We use phenomenological nonlocal Lagrangians, which lead to non trivial forms for the quark propagator, to describe the pion. We define a procedure, based on the Dyson-Schwinger equations, for the calculation of the pion parton distributions at low Q^2. The obtained parton distributions fulfill all the wishful properties. Using a convolution approach we incorporate the composite character of the constituent quarks in the formalism. We evolve, using the Renormalization Group, the calculated parton distributions to the experimental scale and compare favorably with the data and draw conclusions.
T-odd and CP-odd triple momentum correlations in the exclusive semi-leptonic bottom meson decay
1990
Abstract We study T-odd triple momentum correlations in exclusive semi-leptonic (S l ) bottom meson decays B → D ∗ (→ D π)+ l +ν l . We define asymmetry ratios that measure these T-odd triple momentum correlation effects. We provide a careful discussion of possible unitarity contributions to the asymmetry ratios. The conclusion is that strong interaction unitarity contributions are small or, in the case of one particular T-odd observable, absent. CP-violating contributions to the asymmetry ratios would have to come from new non-standard sources as there are no standard model contributions. Possible new CP-violating contributions are parametrized in terms of an effective four-fermion hamilto…
Heavy Quark Symmetries: Molecular Partners of the X(3872) and $Z_{b}(10610)/Z_{b}'(10650)$
2013
In this work, we have used an Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework based on Heavy Quark Spin (HQSS), Heavy Flavour (HFS) and Heavy Antiquark-Diquark symmetries (HADS). Using a standard lagrangian for the heavy meson-heavy antimeson system, we fit the counter-terms of the model to predict some promising experimental data that can be interpreted as heavy meson-heavy antimeson molecules, that is, the X(3872) and the $Z_{b}(10610)/Z'_{b}(10650)$. Next, and, taking advantage of HADS, we use the same lagrangian to explore the consequences for heavy meson-doubly heavy baryon molecules, which can also be interpreted as triply heavy pentaquarks.
Lattice QCD calculations of transverse momentum-dependent parton distributions (TMDs)
2016
An ongoing program of evaluating TMD observables within Lattice QCD is reviewed, summarizing recent progress with respect to several challenges faced by such calculations. These lattice calculations are based on a definition of TMDs through hadronic matrix elements of quark bilocal operators containing staple-shaped gauge connections. A parametrization of the matrix elements in terms of invariant amplitudes serves to cast them in the Lorentz frame preferred for a lattice calculation. Data on the naively T-odd Sivers and Boer-Mulders effects as well as the transversity TMD are presented.
Relativistic SU(6) wave functions as the basis of modern approaches to hadronic wave functions
1991
The connections between various models of hadrons and the relativistic SU(6) wave functions are established. In formal terms and by concrete example it is shown how the Bargman-Wigner fields of freely moving quarks and antiquarks of equal velocity form the basis of the above approaches. This places modern attempts in their historical setting and allows for a more unified analysis of the various schemes.
