Baryon form factors in chiral perturbation theory

چکیده
We analyze the electromagnetic form factors of the ground state baryon octet to fourth order in relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory. Predictions for the Σ charge radius and the Λ–Σ0 transition moment are found to be in excellent agreement with the available experimental information. Furthermore, the convergence behavior of the hyperon charge radii is shown to be more than satisfactory.

Baryon chiral perturbation theory
We provide an introduction to the power-counting issue in baryon chiral perturbation theory and discuss some recent developments in the manifestly Lorentz-invariant formulation of the one-nucleon sector. As explicit applications we consider the chiral expansion of the nucleon mass, its convergence properties, and calculations of the electromagnetic and axial form factors of the nucleon.
متن کاملBaryon form factors : Model – independent results ∗
Baryon form factors can be analyzed in a largely model–independent fashion in terms of two complementary approaches. These are chiral perturbation theory and dispersion relations. I review the status of dispersive calculations of the nucleon electromagnetic form factors in the light of new data. Then, I present the leading one–loop chiral perturbation theory analysis of the hyperon and the stra...
متن کاملNucleon-to-Delta axial transition form factors in relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory
We report a theoretical study of the axial Nucleon to Delta(1232) (N → ∆) transition form factors up to one-loop order in relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory. We adopt a formalism in which the ∆ couplings obey the spin-3/2 gauge symmetry and, therefore, decouple the unphysical spin-1/2 fields. We compare the results with phenomenological form factors obtained from neutrino bubble cha...

We briefly outline the so-called extended on-mass-shell renormalization scheme for manifestly Lorentz-invariant baryon chiral perturbation theory which provides a simple and consistent power counting for renor-malized diagrams. We comment on the role of chiral symmetry in the renormalization program and discuss as applications the mass and the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon.
متن کاملHyperon decay form factors in chiral perturbation theory∗
We present a complete calculation of the SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon vector form factors up to O(p4) in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. Partial higher-order contributions are obtained, and we discuss chiral extrapolations of the vector form factor at zero momentum transfer. In addition we derive low-energy theorems for the subleading moments in hyperon decays, the wea...
