James Ritman Univ. Giessen Why Are Hadrons So Heavy?
Hadron Masses Protons = (uud) ? 2M u + M d ~ 15 MeV/c 2 M p = 938 MeV/c 2 (P.Kienle) no low mass hadrons (except , K, ) spontaneously broken chiral symmetry
Spontaneous Breaking of Chiral Symmetry Although the QCD Lagrangian is symmetric, the ground state need not be. (e.g. Fe below T Curie ) Example:
James Ritman Univ. Giessen Quark Condensate The QCD vacuum is not empty Hadron masses are generated by the strong interaction with (also with gluon condensate) The density of the quark condensate will change as a function of temperature and density in nuclei. This should lead to modifications of the hadron’s spectral properties.
