Baryon chiral perturbation theory

چکیده
We provide an introduction to the power-counting issue in baryon chiral perturbation theory and discuss some recent developments in the manifestly Lorentz-invariant formulation of the one-nucleon sector. As explicit applications we consider the chiral expansion of the nucleon mass, its convergence properties, and calculations of the electromagnetic and axial form factors of the nucleon.

BARYON CHIRAL PERTURBATION THEORY IN THE 1/Nc EXPANSION
The chiral Lagrangian for baryons is formulated in an expansion in 1/Nc. The chiral Lagrangian implements the contracted spin-flavor symmetry of large-Nc baryons as well as nonet symmetry of the leading planar diagrams. Large-Nc consistency conditions ensure that chiral loop corrections are suppressed in 1/Nc through exact cancellation of chiral loop graphs to fixed orders in 1/Nc. Application ...

I review the present status of three flavor baryon chiral perturbation theory in the heavy fermion formalism. It is argued that precise calculations have to include all terms quadratic in the quark masses. As examples, I consider the chiral expansion of the octet baryon masses, the baryon magnetic moments and kaon photoproduction off nucleons.
متن کاملStaggered Lattice Artifacts in 3-Flavor Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory
Motivated by simulation results for octet and decuplet baryon masses using 2+1 flavors of light staggered quarks, we are incorporating staggered lattice artifacts into heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, calculating the masses of various staggered baryons, and studying the connection between the staggered baryons of the chiral theory and the staggered baryons of simulations. We present O(m...
متن کاملBaryon Masses in Chiral Perturbation Theory with Infrared Regularization
The baryon masses are examined in SU(3) chiral perturbation theory to next-to-leading order using the recently proposed infrared regularization scheme. The magnitude of the loop integrals are thereby reduced so that the convergence of the series appears to be better than in the heavy baryon approach. PACS: 12.39.Fe, 14.20.-c
متن کاملImproving the Convergence of SU(3) Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory
Baryon chiral perturbation theory as conventionally applied using dimensional regularization has a well-known problem with the convergence of the SU(3) chiral expansion. One can reformulate the theory equally rigorously using a momentum-space cutoff and we show that the convergence is thereby greatly improved for reasonable values of the cutoff. In effect, this is accomplished because the cutof...
