Two–loop integrals in chiral perturbation theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider chiral perturbation theory in the meson sector at order E 6. In the terminology of the external field technique, the two–loop graphs so generated are of the sunset type. We discuss the evaluation of several of these in the case where the masses of the particles running in the loops are equal. In particular, we present integral representations that are suitable for the evaluation of diagrams in kinematical regions where branch points and cuts are present.

Baryon 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

We include the η′ in chiral perturbation theory without employing 1/Nc counting rules. The method is illustrated by calculating the masses and decay constants of the Goldstone boson octet (π,K, η) and the singlet η′ up to one-loop order. The effective Lagrangian describing the interactions of the η′ with the Goldstone boson octet is presented up to fourth chiral order and the loop integrals are...
متن کاملOn the two-loop contributions to the pion mass
We derive a simplified representation for the pion mass to two loops in threeflavour chiral perturbation theory. For this purpose, we first determine the reduced expressions for the tensorial two-loop 2-point sunset integrals arising in chiral perturbation theory calculations. Making use of those relations, we obtain the expression for the pion mass in terms of the minimal set of master integra...

We analyze the quark mass dependence of the Roper mass to one-loop order in relativistic baryon chiral perturbation theory. The loop integrals are evaluated using infrared regu-larization which preserves chiral symmetry and establishes a chiral counting scheme. The derived chiral expansion of the Roper mass may prove useful for chiral extrapolations of lattice data. For couplings of natural siz...
