Electromagnetic Fields in the Qcd Vacuum
نویسنده
چکیده
Quarks play an active role in shaping the QCD vacuum structure. Being dual carriers of both ‘color’ and ‘electric’ charges they also respond to externally applied electromagnetic fields. Thus, in principle, the vacuum of strong interactions influences higher order QED processes such as photon-photon scattering. We survey here the current status of the understanding of the vacuum structure of strong interactions, and take a fresh look at its electromagnetic properties.

The Qcd Trace Anomaly as a Vacuum Effect
(The vacuum is a medium is the message!) We use arguments taken from the electrodynamics of media to deduce the QCD trace anomaly from the expression for the vacuum energy in the presence of an external color magnetic field. Intuitive discussions of phenomena in quantum field theory frequently take the form of describing them as properties of the vacuum. The vacuum, it is then argued, is just l...

Vacuum polarization mediated by quark loops is susceptible to external electromagnetic fields as well as to the QCD vacuum structure. Employing the stochastic vacuum model, we calculate the modification of the one-loop Euler-Heisenberg effective action due to stochastic color fields with the Fock-Schwinger technique. Our results indicate nonperturbative light quark contributions of the same ord...
متن کاملSusceptibility of the QCD vacuum to CP-odd electromagnetic background fields.
We investigate two flavor quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the presence of CP-odd electromagnetic background fields and determine, by means of lattice QCD simulations, the induced effective θ term to first order in E[over →] · B[over →]. We employ a rooted staggered discretization and study lattice spacings down to 0.1 fm and Goldstone pion masses around 480 MeV. In order to deal with a positive...
متن کاملOnm-7: Effect of Electromagnetic and Radiofrequency Fields on Male Infertility
Background: Effect of electromagnetic and radiofrequency fields on human health is not well understood, a concern is its effect on male infertility. With the increased use of modern technology, issue of protection against this fields has great importance. infertility is the problem to follow psychological - social consequences. The most common cause of infertility are: male factor, female facto...
متن کاملSinglet V AṼ correlator within the instanton vacuum model
The correlator of singlet axial-vector and vector currents in the external electromagnetic field is studied within the instanton liquid model of QCD vacuum. In the chiral limit we calculate the longitudinal w (0) L and transversal w (0) T with respect to axial-vector index invariant amplitudes at arbitrary momentum transfer q. It is demonstrated how the anomalous longitudinal part of the correl...
