TL;DR: In this paper, generalized vector meson dominance is used as a method for inserting mass effects into the simple quark parton model, and the implementation of quark model symmetries implies relations among the towers of vector resonances, which specify the magnitude and approach to scaling of different qq sea components in deep inelastic electron and neutrino scattering.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Weinberg's spectral-function sum rules are modified to accommodate broken-symmetry effects of SU(4) as mentioned in this paper, which yields the observed vector-meson mass spectrum as well as sum rules for the e/sup -/e/sup +/ decay rates of vector mesons.
Abstract: Weinberg's spectral-function sum rules are modified to accommodate broken-symmetry effects of SU(4). With a simple choice of the symmetry-breaking term, the spectral-function sum rules yield the observed vector-meson mass spectrum as well as sum rules for the e/sup -/e/sup +/ decay rates of vector mesons. In particular, a new mass formula, which can be interpreted as the broken-symmetry version of the Schwinger formula, is derived. The agreement with experiment is excellent. (AIP)

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the field-theoretic model of a scalar quark field which is subjected to a strong self-coupling in a finite domain of a three-dimensional lattice space.
Abstract: Various aspects of quark confinement are considered. First, we show in the context of potential theory that steep confinement potentials lead to mass formulas which are similar to those obtained for confining boundary constraints imposed on the free quark motion. We then consider the field-theoretic model of a scalar quark field which is subjected to a strong self-coupling in a finite domain of a three-dimensional lattice space. We show that the strong self- coupling prevents the quark field from spreading easily, but that by itself it does not suffice to confine quarks. A confinement constraint or equivalent potential is still required. We also show that the mass of a single quark grows with increasing self-coupling and becomes infinite in the continuum limit (thus necessitating the use of the lattice). (AIP)

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of a possible isotensor γ N Δ coupling on the isobaric-multiplet mass equation was investigated and it was found that discrepancies between theory and experiment for the d -term cannot be explained by the contribution from isotensor electromagnetic currents.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The SU(6) -symmetric quark-model mass analysis was extended in this paper for the s-wave qq meson states of the 64 = 1 + 63 of SU(8) and of the 3q baryon states in the three-particle symmetric 120 representation.
Abstract: The suprising narrowness of the J or psi (3.1) is interpreted as indication of a pure cc state, and hence as evidence for the SU(8) ..-->.. SU(6) x SU(2)/subS//subc/ x U(1)/subY//subc/ symmetry-breaking chain (S/subc/ = charmed-quark--spin generators, Y/subc/ = hypercharm generator) instead of an approximate SU(8) ..-->.. SU(4) x SU(2)/subS/ chain (S = quark spin generators) which would imply strong mixings. Decompositions under both chains of the s-wave qq meson states of the 64 = 1 + 63 of SU(8) and of the 3q baryon states of the three-particle symmetric 120 representation are given. The most general mass-splitting operators with breaking in the Y and Y/subc/ directions for these two multiplets are derived, which commute with the Casimir operators of the SU(6) x SU(2)/subS//subc/ x U(1)/subY//subc/ chain, which contain only one- and two-body operators, and which are invariant under rotations. Two independent mass relations follow for mesons containing charmed quarks; six, for baryons containing charmed quarks. In an appendix, for reference relative to previous SU(6) -symmetric quark-model mass analyses, the reduced numerical coefficients as determined by the meson 36 of SU(6) are listed. (AIP)

Abstract: An attempt is made to correlate deviation from ideal-mixing mass formula, high-energy scattering behavior, and violation of the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka rule. Pole or cut nature of the intermediary is discussed. Timelike and spacelike forbidden communications are compared. Off-shell effects are examined. Some problems for phenomenology are revealed.

TL;DR: In this article, it has been shown that the liquid drop mass formula should emerge from a suitably averaged shell model, this being the basic assumption in the mass formulae constructed by using the liquid-drop expression as a base line to which shell corrections are added, and the analytical expression in terms of the mass number A and the atomic number Z is obtained by evaluating the Hartree-Fock ground state energy with a conveniently paramererized set of pheno- menological single-particle energy levels.
Abstract: It has been previously shown 1 \hat an expression for the binding energies of nuclei with the structure of the semiempirical Bethe -Weizsacker mass formula can be derived from a shell model with residual interactions Pending quantitive agreement -which is the subject of this paper -this approach provides a microscopial foundation for the exceptionally good semi -empirical mass formula To our knowledge, this comtitutes the first verification of the commonly accepted, but otherwise unproven, statement that the liquid drop mass formula should emerge from a suitably averaged shell model, this being the basic assumption in the mass formulae constructed by using the liquid drop expression as a base line to which shell corrections are added The analytical expression in terms of the mass number A and the atomic number Z is obtained by evaluating the Hartree -Fock ground -state energy with a conveniently paramererized set of pheno­ menological single -particle energy levels The coefficients of the mass formula thus obtained - volume, surface, symmetry and pair ing, as well as new ones which are predicted - are given as defi­ nite functions of the shell model parameters The fit to the ex peri­ mental data is done through a search of the parameters associated with the single particle potential and the residual interactions The search is limited to the range of phenomenological values consistent with nuclear spectra calculations and optical model analysis of
