An Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry II: Pion Phenomenology
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend an effective Lagrangian embodying broken scale and chiral symmetry to include explicit chiral symmetry breaking and an additional chiral invariant term which allows for an axial coupling constant greater than unity. We also include a chiral Lagrangian for the isotriplet vector mesons which leads to a renormalization of the pion field. The properties of nuclear matter and nuclei, low energy πN scattering and the behavior of quantities such as the pion mass and axial coupling at finite density are discussed.

An Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry III: Mesons at Finite Temperature
We investigate the finite temperature behavior of the meson sector of an effective Lagrangian which describes nuclear matter. A method is developed for evaluating the logarithmic terms in the effective potential which involves expansion and resummation; the result is written in terms of the exponential integral. In the absence of explicit chiral symmetry breaking, a phase transition restores th...
متن کاملAn Effective Lagrangian with Broken Scale and Chiral Symmetry IV: Nucleons and Mesons at Finite Temperature
We study the finite temperature properties of an effective chiral Lagrangian which describes nuclear matter. Thermal fluctuations in both the nucleon and the meson fields are considered. The logarithmic and square root terms in the effective potential are evaluated by expansion and resummation with the result written in terms of the exponential integral and the error function, respectively. In ...
متن کاملIncompatibility Of Simultaneous Non-Linear Realizations Of Scale Symmetry and Supersymmetry
Simultaneous nonlinear realizations of supersymmetry and softly broken scale and chiral symmetries are investigated. To guarantee Nambu-Goldstone realizations of the symmetries, the Goldstino decay constant is forced to vary as the explicit soft scale and chiral symmetry breaking parameters. Consequently, it must vanish in the chiral limit and the simultaneous nonlinear realizations of the supe...
متن کاملConfinement and the Pion Nucleon Sigma Term
Gribov’s theory of confinement offers a simple explanation of the value of the pion nucleon sigma term. There is no need to invoke a large strange quark component in the nucleon. It has long been thought that there is a discrepancy between the value of the pion nucleon sigma term σπN measured in π N scattering and the theoretical prediction of σπN from hadron spectroscopy (see eg. [1] and refer...
متن کاملNon–perturbative Structure of the Nucleon
Chiral perturbation theory is the effective field theory of the standard model. In this talk, I discuss some applications of this framework to the pion–nucleon system. These are chiral corrections to the S–wave pion–nucleon scattering lengths, the reaction πN → ππN at threshold and low–energy theorems in π photoproduction. 1. Effective Field Theory of QCD In the sector of the three light quarks...
