Light scalar susceptibilities and isospin breaking
نویسنده
چکیده
Making a thermal analysis in the context of NLO SU(3) Chiral Perturbation Theory we see that isospin breaking (IB) corrections (both electromagnetic and QCD ones) to quark condensates are of order O(e2) and O(ε), with ε the π0−η mixing angle. However the combination χuu− χud of flavour breaking susceptibilities, which vanishes in the isospin limit and can be identified essentially with the connected susceptibility, has an order O(1) contribution enhanced with T because of the π0−η mixing. Finally we present a thermal sum rule that relates quark condensate ratios and the light scalar susceptibility without IB, χ(T )−χ(0). PACS: 12.39.Fe, 11.10.Wx, 11.30.Rd

Isospin breaking and chiral symmetry restoration
We analyze quark condensates and chiral (scalar) susceptibilities including isospin-breaking effects at finite temperature T. These include mu md contributions as well as electromagnetic (e 0) corrections, both treated in a consistent chiral Lagrangian framework to leading order in SUð2Þ and SUð3Þ chiral perturbation theory, so that our predictions are model-independent. The chiral restoration ...
متن کاملFluctuations, strangeness and quasi-quarks in heavy-ion collisions from lattice QCD
We report measurements of diagonal susceptibilities for the baryon number, χB , electrical charge, χQ, third component of isospin, χI , strangeness, χS , and hypercharge, χY , as well as the off-diagonal χBQ, χBY , χBS, etc.. We show that the ratios of susceptibilities in the high temperature phase are robust variables, independent of lattice spacing, and therefore give predictions for experime...

It is demonstrated that there is a dynamic isospin breaking effect in the near threshold γ * N → πN reaction due to the mass difference of the up and down quarks, which also causes isospin breaking in the πN system. The photopion reaction is affected through final state πN interactions (formally implemented by unitarity and time reversal invariance). It is also demonstrated that the near thresh...
متن کاملIsospin Symmetry Breaking in an Algebraic Pairing Sp(4) Model
An exactly solvable sp(4) algebraic approach extends beyond the traditional isospin conserving nuclear interaction to bring forward effects of isospin symmetry breaking and isospin mixing resulting from a two-body nuclear interaction that includes proton-neutron (pn) and like-particle isovector pairing correlations plus significant isoscalar pn interactions. The model yields an estimate for the...
متن کاملMagnetic Moment and Isospin Symmetry Breaking ∗
The small mass difference m n − m p = 1.3 MeV between the proton and neutron leads to an excess of n = π − p over p = π + n fluctuations which can be calculated by using a light-cone meson-baryon fluctuation model of intrinsic quark-antiquark pairs of the nucleon sea. The Gottfried sum rule violation may partially be explained by isospin symmetry breaking between the proton and neutron and the ...
