Radiative production of the Λ(1405) resonance in K− collisions on protons and nuclei
1999
We have carried a theoretical study of the K^- p\to M B \gamma reaction with M B = K^-p, \bar{K}^0 n, \pi^- \Sigma^+, \pi^+ \Sigma^-, \pi^0 \Sigma^0, \pi^0 \Lambda, for K^- lab. momenta between 200 and 500 MeV/c, using a chiral unitary approach for the strong K^-p interaction with its coupled channels. The \Lambda(1405) resonance, which is generated dynamically in this approach, shows up clearly in the d\sigma/dM_I spectrum, providing new tests for chiral symmetry and the unitary approach, as well as information regarding the nature of the resonance. The photon detection alone, summing all channels, is shown to reproduce quite accurately the strength and shape of the \Lambda(1405) resonance…
Pion generalized dipole polarizabilities by virtual Compton scatteringπe→πeγ
2001
We present a calculation of the cross section and the event generator of the reaction $\ensuremath{\pi}e\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\pi}e\ensuremath{\gamma}.$ This reaction is sensitive to the pion generalized dipole polarizabilities, namely, the longitudinal electric ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{L}{(q}^{2}),$ the transverse electric ${\ensuremath{\alpha}}_{T}{(q}^{2}),$ and the magnetic $\ensuremath{\beta}{(q}^{2})$ which, in the real-photon limit, reduce to the ordinary electric and magnetic polarizabilities $\overline{\ensuremath{\alpha}}$ and $\overline{\ensuremath{\beta}},$ respectively. The calculation of the cross section is done in the framework of chiral perturbation theory at $…
Finite-size Scaling of Meson Propagators
2001
Using quenched chiral perturbation theory we compute meson correlation functions at finite volume and fixed gauge field topology. We also present the corresponding analytical predictions for the unquenched theory at fixed gauge field topology. These results can be used to measure the low-energy parameters of the chiral Langrangian from lattice simulations in volumes much smaller than one pion Compton wavelength.
One-loop calculation of the oblique S parameter in higgsless electroweak models
2012
We present a one-loop calculation of the oblique S parameter within Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking and analyze the phenomenological implications of the available electroweak precision data. We use the most general effective Lagrangian with at most two derivatives, implementing the chiral symmetry breaking SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R -> SU(2)_{L+R} with Goldstones, gauge bosons and one multiplet of vector and axial-vector massive resonance states. Using the dispersive representation of Peskin and Takeuchi and imposing the short-distance constraints dictated by the operator product expansion, we obtain S at the NLO in terms of a few resonance parameters. In asymptotically-free gauge …
Bethe-Salpeter Approach for Meson-Meson Scattering in Chiral Perturbation Theory
1998
The Bethe-Salpeter equation restores exact elastic unitarity in the s- channel by summing up an infinite set of chiral loops. We use this equation to show how a chiral expansion can be undertaken by successive approximations to the potential which should be iterated. Renormalizability of the amplitudes in a broad sense can be achieved by allowing for an infinite set of counter-terms as it is the case in ordinary Chiral Perturbation Theory. Within this framework we calculate the $\pi \pi$ scattering amplitudes both for s- and p-waves at lowest order in the proposed expansion where a successful description of the low-lying resonances ($\sigma$ and $\rho$) and threshold parameters is obtained.…
Photoproduction of K∗ for the study of Λ(1405)
2004
Abstract The photo-induced K ∗ vector meson production is investigated for the study of the Λ(1405) resonance. This reaction is particularly suited to the isolation of the second pole in the Λ(1405) region which couples dominantly to the K N channel. We obtain the mass distribution of the Λ(1405) which peaks at 1420 MeV, and differs from the nominal one. Combined with several other reactions, like the π−p→K0πΣ which favours the first pole, this detailed study will reveal a novel structure of the Λ(1405) state.
Tests on the molecular structure of f(2)(1270), f(2)'(1525) from psi(nS) and Upsilon(nS) decays
2013
Based on previous studies that support the vector-vector molecular structure of the f(2)'(1270), f 2 (1525), _ K * 0 2 (1430), f0(1370) and f0(1710) resonances, we make predictions for the.(2S) decay into.(f) f2(1270),.(f) f 2 (1525), K* 0 (892) _ K * 0 2 (1430) and the radiative decay of.(1S),.(2S),.(2S) into.f2(1270),.f 2 (1525),.f0(1370),.f0(1710). Agreement with experimental data is found for three available ratios, without using free parameters, and predictions are done for other cases.
Dispersion relations and the spin polarizabilities of the nucleon
1997
A forward dispersion calculation is implemented for the spin polarizabilities $\gamma_1, ... ,\gamma_4$ of the proton and the neutron. These polarizabilities are related to the spin structure of the nucleon at low energies and are structure-constants of the Compton scattering amplitude at ${\cal O}(\omega^3)$. In the absence of a direct experimental measurement of these quantities, a dispersion calculation serves the purpose of constraining the model building, and of comparing with recent calculations in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory.
