All Master Integrals for Three-Jet Production at Next-to-Next-to-Leading Order
2019
We evaluate analytically all previously unknown nonplanar master integrals for massless five-particle scattering at two loops, using the differential equations method. A canonical form of the differential equations is obtained by identifying integrals with constant leading singularities, in D space-time dimensions. These integrals evaluate to Q-linear combinations of multiple polylogarithms of uniform weight at each order in the expansion in the dimensional regularization parameter and are in agreement with previous conjectures for nonplanar pentagon functions. Our results provide the complete set of two-loop Feynman integrals for any massless 2→3 scattering process, thereby opening up a ne…
Nonlocality and fluctuations near the optical analog of a sonic horizon
2013
We consider the behavior of fluctuations near the sonic horizon and the role of the nonlocality of interaction (nonlinearity) on their regularization. The nonlocality dominates if its characteristic length scale is larger than the regularization length. The influence of nonlocality may be important in the current experiments on the transonic flow in Kerr nonlinear media. Experimental conditions, under which the observation of straddled fluctuations can be observed, are discussed.
Improving the ultraviolet behavior in baryon chiral perturbation theory
2004
We introduce a new formulation of baryon chiral perturbation theory which improves the ultraviolet behavior of propagators and can be interpreted as a smooth cutoff regularization scheme. It is equivalent to the standard approach, preserves all symmetries and therefore satisfies the Ward identities. Our formulation is equally well defined in the vacuum, one- and few-nucleon sectors of the theory. The equations (Bethe-Salpeter, Lippmann-Schwinger, etc.) for the scattering amplitudes of the few-nucleon sector are free of divergences in the new approach. Unlike the usual cutoff regularization, our 'cutoffs' are parameters of the Lagrangian and do not have to be removed.
Recent developments in effective field theory
2007
We will give a short introduction to the one-nucleon sector of chiral perturbation theory and will address the issue of a consistent power counting and renormalization. We will discuss the infrared regularization and the extended on-mass-shell scheme. Both allow for the inclusion of further degrees of freedom beyond pions and nucleons and the application to higher-loop calculations. As applications we consider the chiral expansion of the nucleon mass to order O(q^6) and the inclusion of vector and axial-vector mesons in the calculation of nucleon form factors.
Infrared regularization of baryon chiral perturbation theory reformulated
2003
We formulate the infrared regularization of Becher and Leutwyler in a form analogous to our recently proposed extended on-mass-shell renormalization. In our formulation, IR regularization can be applied straightforwardly to multi-loop diagrams with an arbitrary number of particles with arbitrary masses.
On the (ΔΔ)-component of the deuteron
1974
Abstract The (ΔΔ)-component of the deuteron is investigated using π- and ϱ-exchange for the (NN → ΔΔ)-transition interaction. The depedence of the strength of the (ΔΔ)-component on thetype of regularization, the cut-off parameter and the normal deuteron wave functions is discussed. Inclusion of the ϱ-exchange leads to a weaker dependence on the cut-off parameter and to a smaller (ΔΔ)-admixture probability of 0.7 to 1.2 percent depending on the normal deuteron wave function for a cut-off parameter Λ = 5 fm−1.
Deconvolution of the spectral line profiles for the plasma temperature estimation
2010
Abstract The Hg 253.7 nm spectral line profiles, emitted from the mercury–argon high-frequency electrodeless discharge lamps (HFEDL) have been measured by means of a high-resolution scanning Fabry–Perrot interferometer at the mercury cold spot temperature value at 20 °C, different discharge current and buffer gas values. The deconvolution procedure by means of the Tikhonov's regularization method was performed to obtain the real spectral line shape. The influence of the instrumental function and absorption, real width of the Hg 253.7 nm resonance line and temperature of the radiating atoms are obtained. The results were compared with the results of the nonlinear multiparameter mathematical …
Renormalization of the 1S0 One-Pion-Exchange NN Interaction in Presence of Derivative Contact Interactions
2003
We use standard distorted wave theory techniques and dimensional regularization to find out solutions of the nucleon-nucleon Lippman--Schwinger equation with a kernel determined by the Weinberg's next-to-leading potential, which consists of one--pion exchange and additional contact terms with derivatives. Though for simplicity, we restrict the discussion to the $^1S_0$ channel and to contact terms containing up to two derivatives, the generalization to higher waves and/or number of derivatives is straightforward. The undetermined low energy constants emerging out of the renormalization procedure are fitted to data.
Effective theory for low-energy nuclear energy density functionals
2012
We introduce a new class of effective interactions to be used within the energy-density-functional approaches. They are based on regularized zero-range interactions and constitute a consistent application of the effective-theory methodology to low-energy phenomena in nuclei. They allow for defining the order of expansion in terms of the order of derivatives acting on the finite-range potential. Numerical calculations show a rapid convergence of the expansion and independence of results of the regularization scale.
Renormalization of relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory and power counting
2003
We discuss a renormalization scheme for relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory which provides a simple and consistent power counting for renormalized diagrams. The method involves finite subtractions of dimensionally regularized diagrams beyond the standard $\bar{\rm MS}$ scheme of chiral perturbation theory to remove contributions violating the power counting. This is achieved by a suitable renormalization of the parameters of the most general effective Lagrangian. In addition to simplicity our method has the benefit that it can be easily applied to multiloop diagrams. As an application we discuss the mass and the scalar form factor of the nucleon and compare the results with the e…
