  3. 2. Studies of the axial-vector transition form factors of the process Ω− → W−Ξ0 in chiral perturbation theory

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Hélène De Munck; [2023]
    Keywords : Transition form Factors; Next-to-next-to-leading order; chiral perturbation theory; axial-vector; Ω− → W−Ξ0;

    Abstract : This work is included in a broader research of the hadron theory group of Uppsala University and its collaborators tackling the quest for an understanding of the quark distribution inside hadrons by joining threedifferent approaches of QCD namely chiral perturbation theory, dispersion theory and lattice QCD. This thesis contributes by computing in chiral perturbation theory, the quark-masses dependence of form factors. READ MORE

  4. 3. On the vector transition form factors in the Ω- → Ξ0 W- decay

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Magnus Bertilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : QCD; Form factors; Vector form factors; Chiral perturbation theory; One-loop diagrams; Hadrons; Hadron physics; Hyperon decay; Hadron structure;

    Abstract : To learn more about the structure of hadrons we study form factors. In the semi-leptonic decay Ω- → Ξ0W- two types of form factors arise namely the vector and axial-vector transition form factors. READ MORE

  5. 4. Rare Weak Decays of the Omega Baryon

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Kärnfysik

    Author : Cornelis Johannes Gerardus Mommers; [2022]
    Keywords : hadron; physics; nuclear; particle;

    Abstract : We study rare decays of the Omega baryon using SU(3) chiral perturbation theory, a successfuleffective field theory of quantum chromodynamics at low energies. At leading-order, we calculatethe branching fractions of the decay Ω− → Ξππ for all possible combinations of pions. READ MORE

  6. 5. Fitting the pion and kaon mass and decay constant to lattice data

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk partikelfysik - Geonomgår omorganisation

    Author : Hector Tiblom; [2021]
    Keywords : chiral perturbation theory; lattice QCD; pion mass; kaon mass; decay constant; low-energy QCD; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : We use lattice QCD data to perform a fit of the pion and kaon mass and decay constant to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in three-flavor Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). To improve our fits, we make use of finite volume corrections at both one- and two-loop order. This turns out to provide a small but noticeable improvement of our fits. READ MORE
