Experimental Determination of Chiral Symmetry Breaking Parameters
نویسنده
چکیده
In the low energy domain, Chiral Perturbation Theory parametrizes the small chiral symmetry breaking effects, produced by the quark masses mu, md and ms, in terms of order parameters of massless QCD. The latter can then, in principle, be measured in high precision, low energy experiments. We discuss several relevant processes and possible improvements at future high luminosity tau/charm or K factories.

The decay τ → 3πντ as a probe of the mechanism of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking
The decays τ → 3π+ντ are analyzed at one loop order in the framework of Generalized Chiral Perturbation Theory, in order to test the sensitivity to the size of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking parameters, contained in the S-wave. The latter, due to a kinematical suppression, at threshold, of the P-wave, is relatively large enough to be detectable at high energy machines, through azimuthal l...
متن کاملSpontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the Tayler instability
The chiral symmetry breaking properties of the Tayler instability are discussed. Effective amplitude equations are determined in one case. This model has three free parameters that are determined numerically. Comparison with chiral symmetry breaking in biochemistry is made.
متن کاملComment on Vub from Exclusive Semileptonic B and D Decays
The prospects for determining |Vub| from exclusive B semileptonic decay are discussed. The double ratio of form factors (f (B→ρ)/f (B→K ∗))/ (f (D→ρ)/f (D→K ∗)) is calculated using chiral perturbation theory. Its deviation from unity due to contributions that are non-analytic in the symmetry breaking parameters is very small. Combining experimental data obtainable from B → ρ l ν̄l, B → Kl l̄ and ...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of chiral symmetry breaking in crystallization from primary nucleation
Chiral symmetry breaking in stirred crystallization of sodium chlorate (NaCI03) is believed to occur via nucleation of a single chiral "mother crystal" that produces a new generation of crystals which inherit its chirality. We here report results of stirred crystallizations resulting in massive "instantaneous" primary nucleation and total symmetry breaking. The results of these experiments sugg...
متن کاملA computational investigation of attrition-enhanced chiral symmetry breaking in conglomerate crystals.
Attrition-enhanced chiral symmetry breaking in crystals, also known as Viedma ripening, is a remarkable phenomenon from a variety of perspectives. By providing a direct route to solid-phase homochirality in a controllable manner, it is of inherent interest to those who study chiral symmetry-breaking/amplification mechanisms. When applied to intrinsically chiral molecules, Viedma ripening may ha...
