Parity doublets and chiral symmetry restoration in baryon spectrum
نویسنده
چکیده
It is argued that an appearance of the near parity doublets in the upper part of the light baryon spectrum is an evidence for the chiral symmetry restoration in the regime where a typical momentum of quarks is around the chiral symmetry breaking scale. Thus one observes a phase transition in the upper part of the light baryon spectrum. The average kinetic energy of the constituent quarks in this region is just around the critical temperature

Do parity doublets in the baryon spectrum reflect restoration of chiral symmetry ?
We discuss the mass spectrum of highly-excited nucleon and ∆ * resonances. The spectrum exhibits parity doublets, pairs of resonances of identical total angular momentum J but of opposite parity. It has been proposed that the parity doublets evidence restoration of chiral symmetry at large baryon excitation energies. We compare this conjecture with the possibility that high-mass states are orga...

It has recently been suggested that the observed structure of parity doublets, seen in the spectrum of highly excited baryons, may be due to the effective restoration of chiral symmetry for these states. This chiral symmetry restoration high in the spectrum is consistent with the concept of quark-hadron duality. Moreover, if QCD dynamics implies the linear Regge trajectories for highly excited ...
متن کاملThe chiral symmetry restoration phase transition in baryon spectrum
It is shown that in the large Nc limit the light baryon spectrum exhibits the chiral restoration phase transition at high enough excitation energy. Such a phase transition is evidenced by the systematical parity doublets observed in the upper part of N and ∆ spectra. At low temperature and density the almost perfect SU(2)L × SU(2)R global chiral symmetry of the QCD Lagrangian in the u, d sector...
متن کاملParity Doublets in the Baryon Spectrum
Physics of the low-lying and high-lying hadrons in the light flavors sector is reviewed. While the low-lying hadrons are strongly affected by both U(1) A and spontaneous SU(2) L × SU(2) R breakings, in the high-lying hadrons these symmetries are restored. A manifestation is a persistence of the chiral multiplet structure in both baryon and meson spectra. A fundamental origin of this phenomenon ...
متن کاملHow to probe the infrared quark mass with parity quartets in the high baryon spectrum
By current theoretical understanding, spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking enhances the quark masses in the infrared, and thus generates most of the visible mass in our universe, i. e. the mass of the nucleons, while simultaneously removing chiral symmetry from the lowest states of the light hadron spectrum. We first show that three-quark states naturally group into quartets (with two states of...
