The m lnm Contribution to the Nucleon Mass in CHPT
نویسنده
چکیده
In CHPT the hadron masses obtain loop corrections from the pseudoscalar mesons which are identified with the Goldstone bosons of broken chiral symmetry. An expansion of the baryon mass in the quark masses therefore includes non-analytic terms. We calculate the nucleon mass in the one-loop approximation to order m ∼ mq. We compare the result in the relativistic and in the heavy mass formulation of the theory and derive matching relations between corresponding low-energy constants. We calculate the pion-nucleon loop in old-fashioned perturbation theory and find a contribution to the m lnm term from an intermediate state which does not occur in the heavy baryon theory.

Effects of partial quenching and staggered fermions on the scalar correlator
We determine the mass of the lightest q̄q scalar meson with I = 1 using the simulation with two dynamical Domain Wall Fermions. The conventional exponential fit of the scalar correlator is justified in this case giving the mass 1.58± 0.34 GeV. In general the scalar correlator receives also the bubble contribution, which is the intermediate state with two pseudoscalar mesons. This contribution is...
متن کاملSome Recent Developments in Chiral Perturbation Theory∗
The first part of this talk concerns the application of chiral perturbation theory (CHPT) at unphysical quark masses. More precisely, lattice QCD (LQCD) allows one in principle to calculate hadronic matrix elements ab initio using capability computing on a discretized space-time. To connect to the real world, various extrapolations are necessary: LQCD operates at a finite volume V , at a finite...
متن کاملSoft Pion Emission from the Nucleon Induced by Twist-2 Light-Cone Operators
We compute the matrix elements for pion emission from the nucleon induced by twist-two light-cone operators in the kinematics where the pion is close to threshold. It is shown that the results of heavy baryon ChPT are in agreement with the results from the soft-pion theorem approach. Therefore the amplitude of soft-pion emission is directly related to the generalized parton distributions in the...
متن کاملNucleon Form Factors of the Isovector Axial - Vector Current
The theoretical and experimental status of the isovector axial-vector current form factors GA(q 2) and GP (q 2) of the nucleon is reviewed. We also describe a new calculation of these form factors in manifestly Lorentz-invariant chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) with the inclusion of axial-vector mesons as explicit degrees of freedom.
متن کاملA QUARTIC POTENTIAL FOR THE NUCLEONIC QUARKS
We assume that each valence quark in a nucleon is in a phenomenological modified harmonic oscillator potential of the form: ( l+yo) (ar +br+cr +dr ), where a, b, c and d are constants and ? is one of the Dirac matrices. Then by making use of a suitable ansatz, the Dirac equation has a very simple solution which is exact. We then have calculated the static properties of the nucleon in the ...
