Combining Chiral and Heavy Quark Symmetries ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
The chiral and heavy quark symmetries of QCD are reviewed. These symmetries are used to predict some low–momentum properties of hadrons containing a single heavy quark. ⋆ Work supported in part by the U.S. Dept. of Energy under Grant no. DE-FG03-92-ER 40701.

More on symmetries in heavy quark effective theory.
We present a general classification of all normal and “chiral” symmetries of heavy quark effective theories. Some peculiarities and conondrums associated with the “chiral” symmetries are discussed.
متن کاملCorrections to chiral dynamics of heavy hadrons: 1/M correction.
In earlier publications we have analyzed the strong and radiative decays of heavy hadrons in a formalism which incorporates both heavy-quark and chiral symmetries. In particular, we have derived a heavy-hadron chiral Lagrangian whose coupling constants are related by the heavy-quark flavor-spin symmetry arising from the QCD Lagrangian with infinitely massive quarks. In this paper, we reexamine ...
متن کاملHeavy-quark symmetry and chiral dynamics.
We report on recent advances in the understanding of hadrons containing one heavy quark, providing a general introduction to the main ideas behind the heavy quark symmetry. We concentrate on the synthesis of heavy quark and chiral symmetries, describing recent calculations of heavy meson and baryon decays through processes involving strong, electromagnetic and semileptonic weak interactions.
متن کاملCorrections to chiral dynamics of heavy hadrons: SU(3) symmetry breaking.
In previous publications we have analyzed the strong and electromagnetic decays of heavy mesons and heavy baryons in a formalism which incorporates heavy-quark and chiral symmetries. There are two possible symmetry-breaking e ects on the chiral dynamics of heavy hadrons: the nite-mass e ects from light quarks and the 1=mQ corrections from heavy quarks. In the present paper, chiral-symmetry-brea...
متن کاملEFFECTIVE LAGRANGIAN FOR B and D SEMILEPTONIC DECAYS
An effective lagrangian incorporating both chiral and heavy quark symmetries and describing the low momentum interactions of heavy mesons and light scalar and vector resonances is presented. Using some available data and assuming nearest pole dominance for the form factors we can calculate, at the leading order in chiral and heavy quark expansion, semileptonic B and D decays into light mesons.
