In-Medium Effective Axial-Vector Coupling Constant
نویسنده
چکیده
The axial-vector coupling constant in nuclear medium is systematically studied using chiral perturbation theory. For normal nuclear matter, the first non-trivial corrections are estimated based on the independent particle approximation taking into account nuclear correlations in nuclear medium. The one-pion-exchange (OPE) two-body interactions turn out to enhance the coupling constant by δgA/gA ≃ (0.09 ∼ 0.15). The role of the four-nucleon contact interaction, whose low-energy constants are yet to be determined, is analyzed in connection with the empirical quenching factor of δgA/gA ≃ −0.2 in the presence of the nuclear short-range correlation. Conventional approaches are discussed in the light of our result.

A Schematic Model for ρ-a1 Mixing at Finite Density and In-Medium Effective Lagrangian
Based on schematic two-level models extended to a1-meson degrees of freedom, we investigate possible mechanisms of chiral restoration in the vector/axialvector channels in cold nuclear matter. In the first part of this article we employ the massive Yang-Mills framework to construct an effective chiral Lagrangian based on low-energy mesonic modes at finite density. The latter are identified thro...
متن کاملVector–axial-vector mixing from a chiral effective field theory at finite temperature
We study the vector–axial-vector mixing in a hot medium and its evolution toward the chiral phase transition using different symmetry restoration scenarios based on the generalized hidden local symmetry framework. We show that the presence of the a1 meson reduces the vector spectral function around the meson mass and enhances it around the a1 meson mass. The coupling strength of a1 to and vanis...

We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on 44Ca,48Ca, 56Fe, 90Zr, and 208Pb. With 40Ca as a test case, we show that the Continuum Random Phase Approximation (CRPA) and the standard RPA give essentially equivalent descriptions of the muon capture process. Using the standard RPA with the free nucleon weak form factors we reproduce the experimental total capture rat...
متن کاملMuon capture, continuum random phase approximation, and in-medium renormalization of the axial-vector coupling constant.
We use the continuum random phase approximation to describe the muon capture on C, O and Ca. We reproduce the experimental total capture rates on these nuclei to better than 10% using the free nucleon weak form factors and two di erent residual interactions. However, the calculated rates for the same residual interactions are signi cantly lower than the data if the in-medium quenching of the ax...

We use the random phase approximation to describe the muon capture rate on Ca, Ca, Fe, Zr, and Pb. With Ca as a test case, we show that the continuum random phase approximation ~CRPA! and the standard RPA give essentially equivalent descriptions of the muon capture process. Using the standard RPA with the free nucleon weak form factors we reproduce the experimental total capture rates on these ...
