Axial Currents of Virtual Charm in Light Quark Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The systematic investigations of the role of the virtual charm axial currents in the decay of B-mesons to η ′ K and the spin structure of the nucleon are performed. We reduce the divergence of the virtual charm axial current to a specific gluon operator. Since this operator receives the main contribution from topologically nontrivial components of the QCD vacuum, we rederive the Diakonov-Petrov Effective Action, based on the instanton QCD vacuum model. This action is applied to the calculations of the coupling of η ′ to the charm axial current and found f (c) η ′ (µ ≃ m c) = −(12.3 ∼ 18.4 MeV), providing a possibility for the explanations of the recent experimental data on B → η ′ K-decay. Analogous calculations of the virtual charm content of the nucleon spin leads to ∆c(µ ≃ m c) = − (0.015 ∼ 0.024), which is one order of magnitude smaller than the analogous contribution of the strange quark.

Combination of Colour Favoured and Colour
In this research we described the effective Hamiltonian theory and applied this theory to the calculation of current-current (Q1,2) and QCD penguin (Q3,…,6) c quark decay rates. We calculated the decay rates of semileptonic and hadronic of charm quark in the effective Hamiltonian theory. We investigated the decay rates of D meson decays according to Spectator Quark Model (SQM) for the calculati...

An upper limit on the branching ratio for the decay K + ! + is set at 2:4 10 9 at the 90% C.L. using pions in the kinematic region 214 MeV=c < P < 231 MeV=c. An upper limit of 5:2 10 10 is found on the branching ratio for decays K + ! + X 0 , where X 0 is any massless, weakly interacting neutral particle. Limits are also set for cases where M X 0 > 0. 1 The process K + ! + is highly suppressed ...
متن کاملHeavy quark mass expansion and intrinsic charm in light hadrons
We review the technique of heavy quark mass expansion of various operators made of heavy quark fields using a semiclassical approximation. It corresponds to an operator product expansion in the form of series in the inverse heavy quark mass. This technique applied recently to the axial current is used to estimate the charm content of the η, η′ mesons and the intrinsic charm contribution to the ...

Partial conservation of the nine axial currents Aμ for β = 0, 1, ..., 8 applied to the vacuum expectation values of the equal-time commutators of the nine axial charges QA(x0) for α = 0, 1, ..., 8 with the corresponding axial current divergences ∂Aμ implies that the non-vanishing current quark masses mu, md, ms of the light quarks u, d, s have the same sign. Under the more realistic assumption ...
متن کاملCharm elliptic flow from quark coalescence dynamics
From covariant transport theory, a significant ∼ 10% light quark elliptic flow at RHIC implies an elliptic flow of similar magnitude for charm quarks, at moderately large pT > 2.5 − 3 GeV. At lower transverse momenta, charm quark elliptic flow reduces progressively, reminiscent of the mass ordering pattern in ideal hydrodynamics. From the quark flows we predict the elliptic flow of D mesons at ...
