πη scattering and the resummation of vacuum fluctuation in three-flavour χPT
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss various aspects of resummed chiral perturbation theory, which was developed recently in order to consistently include the possibility of large vacuum fluctuations of the s̄s-pairs and the scenario with smaller value of the q̄q condensate for Nf = 3. The subtleties of this approach are illustrated using a concrete example of observables connected with πη scattering. This process seems to be a suitable theoretical laboratory for this purpose due to its sensitivity to the values of the O(p) LEC’s, namely to the values of the fluctuation parameters L4 and L6. We discuss several issues in detail, namely the choice of “good” observables and properties of their bare expansions, the “safe” reparametrization in terms of physical observables, the implementation of exact perturbative unitarity and exact renormalization scale independence, the role of higher order remainders and their estimates. We make a detailed comparison with standard chiral perturbation theory and use generalized χPT as well as resonance chiral theory to estimate the higher order remainders.

Breakdown of chiral expansion for parton distributions
In the framework of the chiral perturbation theory (χPT) we computed twoand three-loop corrections to the pion parton distributions which posses δ-function singularities at xBj → 0. This calculation explicitly demonstrates that in the region of small xBj ∼ m 2 π/(4πFπ) 2 standard χPT breaks down and one needs resummation of all orders of χPT. We give an example of such resummation.
متن کاملThe multiple-scattering series in pion–deuteron scattering and the nucleon–nucleon potential: perspectives from effective field theory
Important contributions to meson–nucleus scattering are produced by terms in the multiple-scattering series, which is defined as the sum of all diagrams where the meson scatters back and forth between a pair of static nucleons before leaving the nucleus. In particular, the sum of this series is needed for an accurate description of kaon– deuteron scattering, and appears as part of the nucleon–n...

The single-flavour quark condensate 〈0 |qq| 0〉 is a fundamental parameter of χPT , determining the relative size of mass and momentum terms in the expansion. Since it can not be predicted theoretically, its value must be determined experimentally, e.g. by measuring the ππ scattering lengths, whose values are predicted very precisely within the framework of χPT , assuming a big quark condensate ...
متن کاملResumming QCD vacuum fluctuations in three-flavour Chiral Perturbation Theory
Due to its light mass of order ΛQCD, the strange quark can play a special role in Chiral Symmetry Breaking (χSB): differences in the pattern of χSB in the limits Nf = 2 (mu, md → 0, ms physical) and Nf = 3 (mu, md, ms → 0) may arise due to vacuum fluctuations of ss̄ pairs, related to the violation of the Zweig rule in the scalar sector and encoded in particular in the O(p) low-energy constants L...

We have calculated the fermionic contributions to the flavour non-singlet structure functions in deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) at third order of massless perturbative QCD. We discuss their implications for the threshold resummation at the next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy.
