Chiral-symmetry breaking from pion-nucleus low-energy scattering

Нарущение чирадьной симметрии иэ рассеяния пионов на ядрах при ниэких знергиях

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

The study, via current algebra sum rules, of the systematic dependence of π-nucleus elastic-scattering lengths on both mass number and isobaric spin can offer a way to discard, on an experimental basis, a (1, 8)⊕(8, 1) behaviour of theSU 3SU 3 symmetry-breaking Hamiltonian, together with a further check of the validity of the current algebra approach to low-energy meson processes.

Riassunto

Lo studio, attraverso regole di somma dell’algebra delle correnti, sulle dipendenze sistematiche delle lunghezze di diffusione elastica π-nucleo sia dal numero di massa che dallo spin isobarico può offrire la possibilità di escludere, su basi sperimentali, un comportamento di (1, 8)⊕(8, 1) per la hamiltoniana che rompe la simmetriaSU 3SU 3, assieme ad un’ulteriore verifica della validità dell’algebra delle correnti nel trattare le interazioni dei mesoni a basse energie.

Реэюме

Исследование систематической эависимости длин упругого рассеяния π меэонов на ядрах от массового числа и иэобарического спина, при помоши правил сумм алгебры токов, дает воэможность исключить, на основе зксперимен-талных данных, (1,8)⊕(8,1) поведение Гамильтониана, нарущаюшегоSU 3SU 3 симметрию. Кроме того укаэанное исследование дает дополнительную проверку справедливости подхода алгебры токов к меэонным процессам при ниэких знергиях.
