Pion and Eta Strings

چکیده
In this paper we construct a string-like classical solution, the pion-string, in the linear sigma model. We then study the stability of the pion-string, and find that it is unstable in the parameter space allowed experimentally. We also speculate on the existance of an unstable eta-string, associated with spontaneous breakdown of the anomalous UA(1) symmetry in QCD at high temperatures. The implications of the pion and eta strings for cosmology and heavy ion collisions are briefly mentioned.

Extraction of the D13(1520) photon-decay couplings from pion- and eta-photoproduction data
We compare results for the D13(1520) photon-decay amplitudes determined in analyses of etaand pion-photoproduction data. The ratio of helicity amplitudes (A3/2/A1/2), determined from eta-photoproduction data, is quite different from that determined in previous analyses of pion-photoproduction data. We consider how strongly the existing pion-photoproduction data constrain both this ratio and the...
متن کاملProbing chiral symmetry of nucleon by threshold ηπ production
Double meson production of the eta and pion at the threshold region is investigated in order to determine chiral property of the nucleon. The eta can be used as a probe for the negative parity nucleon N ≡ N(1535) produced in the intermediate state. The coupling of the low energy pion in the final state is then used to extract the sign of the Yukawa coupling, gπN∗N∗ , which distinguishes the two...
متن کاملChiral dynamics with strange quarks: Mysteries and opportunities
Recent developments and open issues in chiral dynamics with strange quarks are reviewed. Topics include: Order parameters of chiral symmetry breaking, the flavor dependence of these order parameters, speculations about the phase structure of QCD with varying number of flavors, OZI violation and its natural emergence in case of a small strange quark condensate, heavy kaon chiral perturbation the...
متن کاملParton Distributions Functions of Pion, Kaon and Eta pseudoscalar mesons in the NJL model
Parton distributions of pseudoscalar π,K and η mesons obtained within the NJL model using the Pauli-Villars regularization method are analyzed in terms of LO and NLO evolution, and the valence sea quark and gluon parton distributions for the pion are obtained at Q2 = 4GeV and compared to existing parametrizations at that scale. Surprisingly, the NLO order effects turn out to be small compared t...
متن کاملPion interaction with the trinucleon up to the eta production threshold.
Pion elastic, charge exchange scattering and induced eta production on the trin-ucleon systems are investigated in a coupled-channels approach in momentum space with Fadeev wave functions. The channel πN → ηN is included using an isobar model with S-, P-, and D-wave resonances. While the coherent reactions like 3 He(π, π) 3 He can be reasonably well reproduced up to T π =500 MeV, large discrepa...
