Chiral Lagrangians and the transition amplitude for radiative muon capture
نویسنده
چکیده
The transition operator for the radiative capture of mesons μ− by protons is constructed starting from a chiral Lagrangian of the Nπρa1 ω system obtained within the approach of hidden local symmetries. The transition operator is gauge invariant and satisfies exactly the CVC and PCAC equations.

Radiative Muon Capture in Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory
The radiative muon capture(RMC) on a proton is analyzed by means of heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. The emitted photon energy spectrum is calculated and compared with the experimental data by taking the spin sum on the muonic atom states. We find that one-loop order corrections to the tree order amplitude modify the photon spectrum by less than five percent. This calculation supports t...

We calculate the cross-section for the thermal n + p! d+ process in chiral perturbation theory to next-to-next-to-leading order using heavy-fermion formalism. The exchange current correction is found to be (4:5 0:3) % in amplitude and the chiral perturbation at one-loop order gives the cross section np th = (334 2) mb which is in agreement with the experimental value (334:2 0:5) mb. Together wi...
متن کاملRadiative Muon Capture by a Proton in Chiral Perturbation Theory
The first measurement of the radiative muon capture (RMC) rate on a proton was recently carried out at TRIUMF. The TRIUMF group analyzed the RMC rate, Γ RMC, in terms of the theoretical formula of Beder and Fearing, and found the surprising result that gP ≡ fP (q2 = −0.88mμ) is 1.5 times the value expected from PCAC. To assess the reliability of the theoretical framework used by the TRIUMF grou...
متن کاملChiral effective field theory predictions for muon capture on deuteron and {3}He.
The muon-capture reactions {2}H(μ{-},ν{μ})nn and {3}He(μ{-},ν{μ}){3}H are studied with nuclear potentials and charge-changing weak currents, derived in chiral effective field theory. The low-energy constants (LECs) c{D} and c{E}, present in the three-nucleon potential and (c{D}) axial-vector current, are constrained to reproduce the A=3 binding energies and the triton Gamow-Teller matrix elemen...

Chiral symmetry serves as a guiding principle in low-energy hadron dynamics. An effective lagrangian, which explicitly breaks chiral symmetry via a small mass term, allows for a systematic method of calculating higher order corrections to tree-level results. This is applied to radiative muon capture on hydrogen, and to proton-proton π 0 production near threshold. Both processes pose theoretical...
