Journal ArticleDOI

Low energy analysis of πN→πN

TL;DR: In this article, the pion nucleon scattering amplitude is derived in terms of functions of a single variable and the result can be expressed as a set of integral equations that interrelate the lowest partial waves and are analogous to the Roy equations for ππ scattering.
Journal ArticleDOI

How to Use Heavy Quarks to Probe the QCD Vacuum

TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate the leading nonperturbative contributions to the energy levels and wavefunctions of a heavy q q pair in terms of energy and wave functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dispersive analysis of the decay η → 3π

TL;DR: In this article, the decay η → 3π represents a sensitive probe for the breaking of chiral symmetry by the quark masses, and the transition amplitude is proportional to the mass ratio (m d 2 −m u 2 ) (m s 2 − m 2 ).
Journal ArticleDOI

The Quark Condensate from K e 4 Decays

TL;DR: It is shown that, independently of the size of the quark condensate, chiral symmetry correlates the two S-wave pipi scattering lengths, and this result confirms the hypothesis that the quarkscondensate is the leading order parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constant Gauge Fields and their Quantum Fluctuations

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the vacuum fluctuations generated by translation-invariant gauge fields and showed that these fields are unstable unless they are (anti-)self-dual and abelian.
