Properties of the meson system and chiral-symmetry-breaking parameters from quantum chromodynamics

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento A (1971-1996)

Summary

Some QCD-inspired spectral function sum rules are discussed, in view of the most recent experimental results on scalar and pseudoscalar mesons. Estimates are performed of the weak-decay amplitudes of 0 radial excitations, of the current quark mass ratiom g/md and of the quark vacuum condensate ratio\(\langle \bar \psi _s \psi _s \rangle /\langle \bar \psi _u \psi _u \rangle \).

Riassunto

Si discutono alcune regole di somma per funzioni a due punti ottenute nel contesto della QCD, prendendo in considerazione i piú recenti risultati sperimentali sui mesoni scalari e pseudoscalari. Si danno delle stime delle costanti di decadimento debole delle eccitazioni radiali 0, del rapporto delle masse dei quarkm 8/md e del rapporto dei condensati dei quark\(\langle \bar \psi _s \psi _s \rangle /\langle \bar \psi _u \psi _u \rangle \).
