Calculation of the Yukawa coupling constant

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento (1955-1965)

Summary

By expressing Feynman digrams as dispersion integrals with a finite cut-off, we calculate to lowest order the renormalization constantsZ 1,Z 2,Z 3, for a Yukawa coupling. By setting eachZ equal to zero we obtain the approximate solutionsg 2/4π=0 (30) and μ/m≲0.2 with a cut-off of about 3 nucleon masses.

Riassunto

Esprimendo i diagrammi di Feynman come integrali di dispersione con un taglio finito, si calcolano, nell ’ordine più basso, le costanti di rinormalizzazioneZ 1,Z 2,Z 3, per un accoppiamento di Yukawa. Ponendo ciascunaZ uguale a zero, si ottengono le soluzioni approssimateg 2/4π=0 (30) ed μ/m≲0.2 con un taglio di circa 3 masse nucleoniche.
