An Extended Isgur-Paton Model: Agreement With the Lattice?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The spectrum for the pure gauge sector is calculated for an extended Isgur-Paton model in 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions and compared to recent lattice calculations of the glueball spectrum. The IP model is extended by inclusion of a rigidity (curvature) term and, in D=2+1, mixing through a higer topological contribution. For a choice of parameterizations, near quantitative agreement is found for SU(3) in D=2+1, but in D=3+1 the extensions fail to remedy the qualitative disagreement.

Glueball Spectra of Su(2) Gauge Theories in 3 and 4 Dimensions: a Comparison with the Isgur-paton Flux Tube Model
We use the results of recent lattice calculations to obtain (part of) the mass spectrum of continuum SU(2) gauge theory in both 2+1 and 3+1 dimensions. We compare these spectra to the predictions of the Isgur-Paton flux tube model for glueballs. We use this comparison to test the reliability of different aspects of the model and also to learn which aspects of the lattice calculations it is impo...
متن کاملString models of glueballs and the spectrum of SU ( N ) gauge theories in 2 + 1 dimensions
The spectrum of glueballs in 2+1 dimensions is calculated within an extended class of Isgur-Paton flux tube models and is compared to lattice calculations of the low-lying SU(N ≥ 2) glueball mass spectrum. Our modifications of the model include a string curvature term and different ways of dealing with the flux tube width. We find that the generic model is remarkably successful at reproducing t...

A review and critique of the Isgur-Paton flux tube model of hadronic physics is presented. This entails a detailed comparison with recent lattice gauge theory results which exposes both the successes and shortcomings of the model. Applications to hybrid masses, meson and hybrid meson decays, hadronic charge radii, the spin-orbit force, baryonic hybrids, and hybrid photocouplings are also discus...
متن کاملThe Spectrum of the 2 + 1 Dimensional Gauge Ising Model
We present a high precision Monte Carlo study of the spectrum of the Z 2 gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimensions in the strong coupling phase. Using state of the art Monte Carlo techniques we are able to accurately determine up to three masses in a single channel. We compare our results with the strong coupling expansion for the lightest mass and with results for the universal ratio σ/m 2 determined f...
متن کاملIsgur-Wise Function on the Lattice
A very active subfield in high energy physics recently is the study of hadrons with heavy-light quark content [1]. A major effort has been spent in calculating the Isgur-Wise function, which, once it is determined, can be widely used in calculations of heavy meson decay (b → c) processes. After an initial exploration [2], calculations of the Isgur-Wise function on the lattice [3– 5] have quickl...
