The static potentials from bosonic string models are examined to the two-loop level. Available MC data for 4-dimensional SU(3) are in approximate agreement with the universal leading order predictions but fail to reproduce the Nambu string when the two-loop terms are included in the analysis. We also confront Nambu string model predictions for Tc σ with SU(2), SU(3) and SU(N → ∞) MC data. In the S
By Monte Carlo calculations on a 124 lattice we investigate four-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory with respect to the conjecture that at large distances this theory reduces approximately to two-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We find good numerical evidence for this conjecture. As a by-product we also measure the SU(2) string tension and find reasonable agreement with scaling. The "a
We study 3-dimensional SU(2) lattice gauge theory with respect to dimensional reduction. By Monte Carlo calculations we find that this reduction is valid to a good approximation (within ≈10%). The adjoint string tension is found to scale approximately. We also compare the adjoint string tension with a string theory.
In the hamiltonian formulation of fermions coupled to external gauge fields, the axial anomaly has a simple physical interpretation in terms of level shifting at the top of the Dirac sea. We apply this formalism to lattice QED in 1 + 1 and 3 + 1 dimensions, in order to study how the lattice regulation and small fermion mass affect the picture. For a simple choice of the E and B fields, it is possi
Cross sections for glueball production in hadron-induced reactions are estimated using the gluon-gluon fusion mechanism. For pp → θ(1700, JPC = 2++)X one finds σθ ∼ 2-10 mb in ISR-collider energy range. This cross section should give a clean experimental signal given the substantial KK decay mode observed in ψ → γθ.
Background: Calcium overload is a major cause of reperfusion myocardial injury. Multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) has been previously used in visualizing coronary artery calcium, but not calcium deposits in reperfused infarction. Purpose: To assess the ability of MDCT to 1) noninvasively visualize and characterize calcium deposits in reperfused infarcts, and 2) monitor regional wall swellin
SU(2) lattice gauge theory in three dimensions is investigated on a 162×32 lattice. We find that R>×T Wilson loops are well described by a simple string theory for β in the (approximate) scaling region.
Recent SU(3) lattice Monte Carlo data (244 and 164) are analyzed in terms of a simple string model. Good agreement is found. Observed similarities between SU(3) and three-dimensional SU(2) indicate that the string theory is indeed an effective one.
Existing bag-model calculations for the masses of lowest-lying glueball states are extended and reviewed and compared to the present lattice Monte Carlo calculations. The predicted spectra agree remarkably well.
We consider SU(2) lattice gauge theory in three dimensions. The Wilson loops are found to be well described by a simple string model in the approximate scaling region.
Phenomenological consequences of a recently improved and unified study of the lowestlying hadrons in the MIT Bag model are explored. In contrast to earlier fits we find the new values for the Bag constant B1/4(200-230 MeV) and the hadronic radii R0(≈3.2 GeV-1) to be consistent with present estimates of the gluon condensate {Mathematical expression}, the Hagedorn temperature TH and experimental hyp
An effective spin-dependent interaction Hamiltonian for low-lying gluon modes is calculated to O(±s) in the MIT bag model. We give expressions for the energy shifts of low-lying glueballs.
We present a consistent and unified study of the spectrum of low-lying mesons, baryons, and glueballs using the MIT bag model, incorporating several improvements in the model. We correct for the center-of-mass motion, use a running coupling αs(R), include self-energy terms for quarks and gluons confined in a cavity, and get the bag constant from a model of the QCD vacuum. Our fit to the meson and
It is argued semiquantitatively that the magnetic instability of the perturbative QCD vacuum leads to the formation of a Bose-Einstein condensate that locally can be described as a JPC=0++ gluon color-singlet bound state of "glueball." We also indicate how this result might be obtained by a more rigorous field-theoretical treatment. A general discussion of the global properties of the "glueball va
Mellan 16 februari och 22 mars 2017 genomfördes 24 mätningar av finfraktionen (PM2.5) och grovfraktionen (PM10 – PM2.5) av grundämnen i luftburna partiklar på mätstationerna i Stadshuset och Lundåkrahamnen i Landskrona. Detta gjordes som ett led i att kontrollera luftkvaliten i Landskrona stad, särskilt med tanke på industrierna i Landskrona, som tidigare har givit höga halter av framförallt metal
We claim that experimental meson spectroscopy now requires the existence of constituent gluons. Drawing from several models, we study the number of mesons with given quantum numbers that can be expected in a given mass range, concentrating on pseudoscalars below 2 GeV. Counting only quark-antiquark states gives fewer mesons than are now seen, but including gluon degrees of freedom so that glueball
Methods for computing loop diagrams in confined scalar and gauge theories are developed. We construct propagators with different types of boundary conditions in boxes (rectangular cavities) using the method of image charges, which allows for a separation of the short-distance singularities. The techniques are illustrated by a calculation of the Casimir effect in a box using a covariant gauge, and
The postulate that ordinary hadrons contain intrinsic charm-quark states (such as |uudcc» in the proton) at the 1% level is shown to explain two sets of unexpected experimental results: (1) the copious diffractive production of charmed hadrons at large longitudinal momentum in high-energy proton-nucleon and pion-nucleon collisions, and (2) the anomalously large number of same-sign dimuon events ob
Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease found wherever human is in direct or indirect contact with contaminated water and environment. Considering the increasing number of cases of this disease in the northern part of Iran, identifying areas characterized by high disease incidence risk can help policy-makers develop strategies to prevent its further spread. This study presents an approach for generati
Recent data give unexpectedly large cross-sections for charmed particle production at high xF in hadron collisions. This may imply that the proton has a non-negligible uudcc Fock component. The interesting consequences of such a hypothesis are explored.
