Color Anomaly and Flavor-Singlet Axial Charge of the Proton in the Chiral Bag: The Cheshire Cat Revisited
1997
Quantum effects inside the chiral bag induce a color anomaly which requires a compensating surface term to prevent breakdown of color gauge invariance. We show that the presence of this surface term first discovered several years ago allows one to derive in a gauge-invariant way a chiral-bag version of the Shore-Veneziano two-component formula for the flavor-singlet axial charge of the proton. This has relevance to what is referred to as the ``proton spin problem" on the one hand and to the Cheshire-Cat phenomenon in hadron structure on the other. We show that when calculated to the leading order in the color gauge coupling and for a specific color electric monopole configuration in the bag…
Dynamical generation of hyperon resonances
2003
In this talk we report on how, using a chiral unitary approach for the meson--baryon interactions, two octets of $J^{\pi}=1/2^-$ baryon states and a singlet are generated dynamically, resulting in the case of strangeness $S=-1$ in two poles of the scattering matrix close to the nominal $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. We suggest experiments which could show evidence for the existence of these states.
17 keV neutrino in a singlet-triplet majoron model
1991
Abstract We investigate the possibility of a cosmologically safe 17 keV neutrino which may have been observed in the decays of tritium, S 35 , and C 14 within a singlet-triplet majoron model. Consideration of the leptonic decay of K + and X rays associated with the radiative decay of massive relic neutrinos severely constrains the scale of the spontaneous lepton number violation. It is argued that the mass density of relic 17 keV neutrinos is constrained as Ω v ⩽ 0.05 h −1 (0.01/ sin 2 θ ) in view of the observed diffuse X ray background.
Gluonic contributions in the chiral hyperbag
1990
Abstract We incorporate into a non-perturbative chiral bag model scheme the gluons and the η' in a perturbative fashion. We analyze in this context the proton matrix element for the flavor singlet axial current, where due account is taken of the anomaly, and the delta-nucleon mass difference. Our results show that the contribution due to the gluons is significant for large bag radii and that they are crucial in order to establish the Cheshire cat principle.
3-loop heavy flavor Wilson coefficients in deep-inelastic scattering
2015
Abstract We present our most recent results on the calculation of the heavy flavor contributions to deep-inelastic scattering at 3-loop order in the large Q 2 limit, where the heavy flavor Wilson coefficients are known to factorize into light flavor Wilson coefficients and massive operator matrix elements. We describe the different techniques employed for the calculation and show the results in the case of the heavy flavor non-singlet and pure singlet contributions to the structure function F 2 ( x , Q 2 ) .
THREE-D SINGLETONS AND 2-D C.F.T.
1992
Two-dimensional Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten theory is extended to three dimensions, where it becomes a scalar gauge theory of the singleton type. The three-dimensional formulation involves a scalar field valued in a compact group G, a Nakanishi-Lautrup field valued in Lie (G) and Faddeev-Popov ghosts. The physical sector, characterized by the vanishing of the Nakanishi-Lautrup field, coincides with the WZNW theory of the group G. Three-dimensional space-time structure involves a generalized metric, but only its boundary values are of consequence. An alternative formulation in terms of left and right movers (in three dimensions!) is also possible.
Low-lying resonances from chiral unitary dynamics
2003
Abstract The s-wave meson-baryon interaction is studied using the lowest-order chiral lagrangian in a unitary coupled-channels Bethe-Salpeter equation. The resonances belonging to the low-lying J P = 1 2 − octet, the N (1535), Λ(1620) and Ξ(1620), together with the Λ(1405) singlet, are generated dynamically through multiple meson-baryon scattering. The Λ(1405) appears as a mixture of K N and πΣ quasibond states, while the Λ(1670) is a K Ξ quasibond state. Arguments are given to assigne J P = 1 2 − to the unmeasured spin and parity of the Ξ(1620).
Search for a lightCP-odd Higgs boson in radiative decays ofJ/ψ
2016
We search for a light Higgs boson A(0) in the fully reconstructed decay chain of J/psi -> gamma A(0), A(0)-> mu(+)mu(-) using (225.0 +/- 2.8) x 10(6) J/psi events collected by the BESIII experiment. The A(0) is a hypothetical CP-odd light Higgs boson predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model including two spin-0 doublets plus an extra singlet. We find no evidence for A(0) production and set 90% confidence-level upper limits on the product branching fraction B(J/psi -> gamma A(0)) x B(A(0)-> mu(+)mu(-)) in the range of (2.8-495.3) x 10(-8) for 0.212 <= mA(0) <= 3.0 GeV/c(2). The new limits are five times below our previous results, and the nature of the A(0) is constrained to be mos…
Magnetic field and temperature dependent correlations in the singlet ground state system CsFeBr3
1992
Abstract In the singlet ground state system CsFeBr 3 the temperature and magnetic field dependence of the magnetic dispersion curves have been measured by inelastic neutron scattering. At a field of 4.1 T magnetic Bragg peaks appear at (⅓ ⅓ 1) and (⅔ ⅔ 1). The correlation lengths were derived from the experimental data by integrating the constant Q -scans over the energy transfer. The Q -dependence was fitted to Lorentzians and correlations lengths were extracted for different directions in the lattice. These correlation lengths decrease with increasing temperature and increase with increasing field. Above the phase transition the correlation lengths decrease again.
Reducing quantum control for spin - spin entanglement distribution.
2009
We present a protocol that sets maximum stationary entanglement between remote spins through scattering of mobile mediators without initialization, post-selection or feedback of the mediators' state. No time-resolved tuning is needed and, counterintuitively, the protocol generates two-qubit singlet states even when classical mediators are used. The mechanism responsible for such effect is resilient against non-optimal coupling strengths and dephasing affecting the spins. The scheme uses itinerant particles and scattering centres and can be implemented in various settings. When quantum dots and photons are used a striking result is found: injection of classical mediators, rather than quantum…
