Hyperon Beta–Decay and Axial Charges of the Lambda in view of Strongly Distorted Baryon Wave–Functions
نویسنده
چکیده
Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave–functions while the charge operators maintain a symmetric structure. Sizable symmetry breaking in the wave–functions is required to reproduce the observed spacing in the spectrum of the 1 2 + baryons. The matrix elements of the flavor symmetric charge operators nevertheless yield gA/gV ratios for hyperon beta–decay which agree with the empirical data approximately as well as the successful F&D parameterization of the Cabibbo scheme. Demanding the strangeness component in the nucleon to vanish in the two flavor limit of the model, determines the structure of the singlet axial charge operator and yields the various quark flavor components of the axial charge of the Λ– hyperon. The suggested picture gains support from calculations in a realistic model using pion and vector meson degrees of freedom to build up the soliton. PACS: 12.39.Dc, 12.39.Fe, 13.30.Ce, 14.20.Jn

Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave–functions while the charge operators have no (or only small) symmetry breaking components. In this framework we study the gA/gV ratios for hyperon beta–decay as well as the various quark flavor components of the axial charge of the nucleon and th...
متن کاملFlavor Symmetry Breaking and Strangeness in the Nucleon
We suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave–functions while the charge operators have no (or only small) explicit symmetry breaking components. We utilize the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models to support this picture. In particular we compute the gA/gV ratios for hyperon beta–decay and the strangeness contribution to the nucleon axia...

One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...

Using an effective Hamiltonian approach, we obtain expressions for hyperon β decay final-state baryon polarization. Terms through second order in the energy release are retained. The resulting approximate expressions are much simpler and more compact than the exact expressions, and they agree closely with them.

متن کاملWeak hyperon decays in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory: Renormalization and applications
The complete renormalization of the weak Lagrangian to chiral order q2 in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory is performed using heat kernel techniques. The results are compared with divergences appearing in the calculation of Feynman graphs for the nonleptonic hyperon decay Λ → pπ− and an estimate for the size of the counterterm contributions to the s-wave amplitudes in nonleptonic hyperon...
