Hadron Properties and Dyson-Schwinger Equations
نویسنده
چکیده
An overview of the theory and phenomenology of hadrons and QCD is provided from a DysonSchwinger equation viewpoint. Following a discussion of the definition and realisation of light-quark confinement, the nonperturbative nature of the running mass in QCD and inferences from the gap equation relating to the radius of convergence for expansions of observables in the current-quark mass are described. Some exact results for pseudoscalar mesons are also highlighted, with details relating to the UA(1) problem, and calculated masses of the lightest J = 0, 1 states are discussed. Studies of nucleon properties are recapitulated upon and illustrated: through a comparison of the ln-weighted ratios of Pauli and Dirac form factors for the neutron and proton; and a perspective on the contribution of quark orbital angular momentum to the spin of a nucleon at rest. Comments on prospects for the future of the study of quarks in hadrons and nuclei round out the contribution.

Dyson-Schwinger Equations: An Instrument for Hadron Physics
Dyson-Schwinger equations furnish a Poincaré covariant approach to hadron physics. They reveal that dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is tied to the long-range behaviour of the strong interaction and make predictions corroborated by modern lattice-QCD simulations. A hallmark in the contemporary use of DSEs is the existence of a nonperturbative, symmetry preserving truncation that enables the p...

متن کاملHadron Physics and Dyson - Schwinger Equations
Detailed investigations of the structure of hadrons are essential for understanding how matter is constructed from the quarks and gluons of QCD, and amongst the questions posed to modern hadron physics, three stand out. What is the rigorous , quantitative mechanism responsible for confinement? What is the connection between confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking? And are these pheno...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Form Factors of Meson Transitions
The Dyson-Schwinger equation (DSE) approach [1] to non-perturbative QCD modeling of hadrons and their interactions [2] combines truncated QCD equations of motion for propagators and vertices with infrared phenomenology fitted to a few key low-energy observables. Parameter-free predictions for other hadron properties and observables are then used to develop and test our understanding of hadron p...
متن کاملIntegrability of Schwinger-Dyson Equations in 2D Quantum Gravity and c < 1 Non-critical String Field Theory
We investigate the integrability of the Schwinger-Dyson equations in c = 1 − 6 m(m+1) string field theory which were proposed by Ikehara et al as the continuum limit of the Schwinger-Dyson equations of the matrix chain model. We show the continuum Schwinger-Dyson equations generate a closed algebra. This algebra contains Virasoro algebra but does not coincide with W∞ algebra. We include in the ...
متن کاملSolving a set of truncated Dyson-Schwinger equations with a globally converging method
A globally converging numerical method to solve coupled sets of non-linear integral equations is presented. Such systems occur e.g. in the study of Dyson-Schwinger equations of Yang-Mills theory and QCD. The method is based on the knowledge of the qualitative properties of the solution functions in the far infrared and ultraviolet. Using this input, the full solutions are constructed using a gl...
