TL;DR: In this paper, the equation of state for dense hyperonic matter is calculated from five potential interaction models, the form of the potential is the same as that of Reid, a sum of Yukawa functions, the coefficients of which are adjusted separately in each partial wave to fit experimental nucleon nucleon data.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of the space-time structure of hadronic collisions is proposed, which provides a parameter-free account of National Accelerator Laboratory and cosmic-ray emulsion data, which shows that the multiplicity of mesons produced in nuclei exceeds that in hydrogen by an energyindependent ratio remarkably close to unity.
Abstract: Nuclear interactions at high energy are sensitive to the space-time structure of basic hadronic collisions. A model of this structure is proposed; it provides a parameter-free account of National Accelerator Laboratory and cosmic-ray emulsion data, which shows that the multiplicity of mesons produced in nuclei exceeds that in hydrogen by an energy-independent ratio remarkably close to unity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the self-consistent equation for fermion propagator in a vector-gluon model is fully examined, and it is proved that with a suitable gauge chosen, the equation without ~utoff has solutions only in the case mo=O, it is then shown that, if g'/4n Bn, the "normal-state" solution without cutoff, even if it existed, should necessarily have an unphysical singularity.
Abstract: Solutions of the self-consistent equation for fermion propagator in a vector-gluon model are fully examined. The equation is characterized by a set of parameters, i.e., the coupling constant g, the bare mass of the fermion mo and the cutoff A. It is proved that with a suitable gauge chosen, the equation without ~utoff has solutions ·only in the case mo=O, It is then shown that, if g'/4n Bn, the "normal-state" solution for the equation without cutoff, even if it existed, should necessarily have an unphysical singularity. This fact implies that the "normal-state" solution becomes unstable for a su.fficiently large value of g'. § l. Introduction The. reason for success of low energy theorems obtained by current algebra and PCAC-treatment may be well understood in terms of chiral symmetry in which the pseudoscalar mesons play a special role among hadtons as the Nambu­ Goldstone (NG) bosons1l transforming nonlinearly under chiral transformation. On the other hand, in the composite hadron models based on SU(3) or SU(6), it is clear that there is no vital distinction between pseudoscalar mesons and others such as vector- and tensor-mesons. It is therefore worth expecting that the pseudoscalar NG bosons can also be interpreted as the bound states in con­ formity with the viewpoint of the composite model. . This homogeneity and· heterogeneity ot the pseudoscalar mesons to other mesons should rather be in­ vestigated by comparing their internal structure with composite particles· . . In this respect it would be meaningful to study a model in which spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry is realized by a composite NG boson: The Nambu­ Jona-Lasinio model2l is known as such an example. However, the use of chain approximation and the momentum cutoff inevitable for the local four-fermion

Abstract: The cross section for the phtotproduction of $\ensuremath{\eta}$ mesons by the Primakoff process has been measured at bremsstrahlung energies of 5.8, 9.0, and 11.45 GeV. A value of 0.324 \ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{} 0.046 keV was obtained for the partial width of the $\ensuremath{\eta}$ meson decaying into photon pairs. This result is a factor of 3 lower than the previously accepted value.

Abstract: The cross section for the photoproduction of ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ mesons from complex nuclei at small angles has been measured at incident bremsstrahlung energies of 4.4 and 6.6 GeV. The data are fitted by a cross section calculated from a sum of Primakoff and nuclear-production amplitudes. A total decay width for the ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ meson of 8.02\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.42 eV is obtained from the magnitude of the Primakoff amplitude.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a number of constraints, several new, are exploited to obtain realistic quark parton distributions for baryons and mesons, and these distributions are used to make detailed predictions for NN or π N → l + l − + anything, potentially providing a quantitative test of the quark Parton model.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that only a small number of elementary cells in phase space are populated in a multiparticle production reaction even at high energy, leading to occupancy numbers for identical bosons in individual cells which are not small.
Abstract: It is shown that only a small number of elementary cells in phase space are populated in a multiparticle production reaction even at high energy (g 100 GeV), leading to occupancy numbers for identical bosons in individual cells which are not small. It follows that quantum-statistical fluctuations are of significant magnitude. The effects on multiplicity distributions and integral correlation functions of $\ensuremath{\pi}$ mesons produced in high-energy interactions are derived. Comparison with experimental results at incident energies above 100 GeV indicates that Bose-Einstein fluctuations may be a principal source of broadening of the multiplicity distribution and of positive short-range correlations among identical particles. The effect is nondynamical and nonkinematical in the usual sense, but is due to identical-particle symmetry, and is the counterpart of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss effect in the electromagnetic field.
