Electromagnetic decay of ( 1520 )

چکیده
The electromagnetic decay processes of excited hyperon states are a very sensitive probe of the structure of hyperons. We will argue that the recent measurements of electromagnetic decay rates indicate that the wave functions of the hyperon ground states should contain sizable components of excited quark states (configuration mixing). Flavor-SU(3) is a broken symmetry and it appears that the hyperon wave functions should preferably be written in a uds-basis, where only the light u and d-quarks are symmetrized, and not in the usual SU(6)-basis.

We study the decay channels of the Λ(1520) in a nuclear medium and find a sizable change of the order of factor five of the width of this hyperon at normal nuclear matter density. The mass shift of the Λ(1520) is moderate. The change of resonance properties in the nuclear medium is a field that captures permanent attention, and basic symmetries can be tested through medium modification of parti...
متن کاملQuantization of electromagnetic fields in the presence of a spherical semiconductor quantum dot and spontaneous decay of an excited atom doped in this nanostructure
In this paper we consider electromagnetic field quantization in the presence of a dispersive and absorbing semiconductor quantum dot. By using macroscopic approach and Green's function method, quantization of electromagnetic field is investigated. Interaction of a two-level atom , which is doped in a semiconductor quantum dot, with the quantized field is considered and its spontaneous emission ...
متن کامل1 Hyperon photo - and electroproduction at CLAS
(Received: February 7, 2008) The large acceptance and high multiplicity capabilities of the CLAS detector make it possible to study a wide range of previously unmeasured strange baryon production processes. Studies of the decay angular distributions of electroproduced strange baryons have yielded several interesting new results. The Λ(1520) electroproduction decay angular distributions shed lig...
متن کاملTHE N∗(1520) → ∆π AMPLITUDES EXTRACTED FROM THE γp → π+π−p REACTION AND COMPARISON TO QUARK MODELS
The γp → π+π−p reaction, in combination with data from the πN → ππN reaction, allows one to obtain the sand d-wave amplitudes for the N∗(1520) decay into ∆π with absolute sign with respect to the N∗(1520) → Nγ helicity amplitudes. In addition one obtains the novel information on the q dependence of the amplitudes. This dependence fits exactly with the predictions of the non-relativistic constit...
