A lattice study of the spin structure of the Λ hyperon
نویسندگان
چکیده
The internal spin structure of the Λ is of special importance for the understanding of the spin structure of hadrons in general. The comparison between the nucleon and Λ allows for a test of the relevant flavour-symmetry breaking effects. Using nonperturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions in the quenched approximation we have calculated the first moments of the unpo-larised, longitudinally polarised and transversity quark distribution functions in the Λ. The results indicate that flavour symmetry breaking has little effect on the internal spin structure, in accordance with model based expectations.

The spin structure of the Λ hyperon in quenched lattice QCD ∗
It has been suggested to use the production of Λ hyperons for investigating the nucleon spin structure. The viability of this idea depends crucially on the spin structure of the Λ. Using nonperturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions in the quenched approximation we have studied matrix elements of two-quark operators in the Λ. We present results for the axial vector current, which give us the ...
متن کاملMagnetic Properties in a Spin-1 Random Transverse Ising Model on Square Lattice
In this paper we investigate the effect of a random transverse field, distributed according to a trimodal distribution, on the phase diagram and magnetic properties of a two-dimensional lattice (square with z=4), ferromagnetic Ising system consisting of magnetic atoms with spin-1. This study is done using the effectivefield theory (EFT) with correlations method. The equations are derived using...
متن کاملHypernuclei and in-medium chiral dynamics
A recently introduced relativistic nuclear energy density functional, constrained by features of low-energy QCD, is extended to describe the structure of hypernuclei. The density-dependent mean field and the spin-orbit potential of a Λ-hyperon in a nucleus, are consistently calculated using the SU(3) extension of in-medium chiral perturbation theory. The leading long-range ΛN interaction arises...
متن کاملStrongly Distorted Baryon Wave–functions: Hyperon Beta–decay and the Spin of the Λ and the Nucleon∗)
Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave–functions while the charge operators have no (or only small) symmetry breaking components. In this framework we study the gA/gV ratios for hyperon beta–decay as well as the various quark flavor components of the axial charge of the nucleon and th...
متن کاملA ug 2 00 6 STAR results on longitudinal spin dynamics
We present preliminary results on the double longitudinal spin asymmetries A LL in inclusive jet production and the longitudinal spin transfer asymmetries D LL in inclusive Λ and ¯ Λ hyperon production. The data amount to 0.5 pb −1 collected at RHIC in 2003 and 2004 with beam polarizations up to 45%. The jet A LL asymmetries, measured over 5 < p T < 17 GeV/c, are consistent with evaluations bas...
