Hadron Physics Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 3 “Hadron physics is unique at the cutting edge of modern science because Nature has provided us with just one instance of a fundamental strongly-interacting theory; i.e., Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD).

Modern Miracles in Hadron Physics Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 15 o proton = three constituent quarks M proton ≈ 1GeV Therefore guess M constituent−quark ≈ ⅓ × GeV ≈ 350MeV o pion = constituent quark + constituent antiquark Guess M pion ≈ ⅔ × M proton ≈ 700MeV o WRONG...................... M pion = 140MeV o Rho-meson Also constituent quark + constituent antiquark – just pion with spin of one constituent flipped M rho ≈ 770MeV ≈ 2 × M constituent−quark What is “wrong” with the pion?

Dichotomy of the pion Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 16 How does one make an almost massless particle from two massive constituent-quarks?

QCD’s Challenges Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking Very unnatural pattern of bound state masses; e.g., Lagrangian (pQCD) quark mass is small but... no degeneracy between J P =+ and J P =− (parity partners) Neither of these phenomena is apparent in QCD’s Lagrangian Yet they are the dominant determining characteristics of real-world QCD. QCDQCD – Complex behaviour arises from apparently simple rules. Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 19 Quark and Gluon Confinement No matter how hard one strikes the proton, one cannot liberate an individual quark or gluon Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11 Understand emergent phenomena
20
Why don’t we just stop talking & solve the problem? Emergent phenomena can’t be studied using perturbation theory So what? Same is true of bound-state problems in quantum mechanics! Differences: Here relativistic effects are crucial – virtual particles Quintessence of Relativistic Quantum Field Theory Interaction between quarks – the Interquark Potential – Unknown throughout > 98% of the pion’s/proton’s volume! Understanding requires ab initio nonperturbative solution of fully- fledged interacting relativistic quantum field theory Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 20 Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11

Universal Truths SSpectrum of hadrons (ground, excited and exotic states), and hadron elastic and transition form factors provide unique information about long-range interaction between light-quarks and distribution of hadron's characterising properties amongst its QCD constituents. DDynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking (DCSB) is most important mass generating mechanism for visible matter in the Universe. Higgs mechanism is ( almost ) irrelevant to light-quarks. RRunning of quark mass entails that calculations at even modest Q 2 require a Poincaré-covariant approach. Covariance requires existence of quark orbital angular momentum in hadron's rest-frame wave function. CConfinement is expressed through a violent change of the propagators for coloured particles & can almost be read from a plot of a states’ dressed-propagator. It is intimately connected with DCSB. Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 21 Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11

Chiral symmetry Craig Roberts, Physics Division: Much Ado About Nothing 22 Feature of massless fermions in relativistic quantum field theory Realised in the spectrum of the theory via the appearance of degenerate parity partners Perturbative QCD: u- & d- quarks are very light m u /m d ≈ 0.5 & m d ≈ 4 MeV H. Leutwyler, 0911.1416 [hep-ph]0911.1416 [hep-ph] However, splitting between parity partners is greater-than 100-times this mass-scale; e.g., Physics Division: 17 Dec 2010 JPJP ⅟₂ + (p)⅟₂ - Mass940 MeV1535 MeV

Universal Conventions Wikipedia: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QCD_vacuum)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QCD_vacuum) “The QCD vacuum is the vacuum state of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). It is an example of a non- perturbative vacuum state, characterized by many non- vanishing condensates such as the gluon condensate or the quark condensate. These condensates characterize the normal phase or the confined phase of quark matter.” Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 23 Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11
24
Universal Misapprehensions Since 1979, DCSB has commonly been associated literally with a spacetime- independent mass-dimension-three “vacuum condensate.” Under this assumption, “condensates” couple directly to gravity in general relativity and make an enormous contribution to the cosmological constant Experimentally, the answer is Ω cosm. const. = 0.76 This mismatch is a bit of a problem. Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 24 Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11 “The biggest embarrassment in theoretical physics.”

A Compromise? Dyson-Schwinger Equations 1994... “As computer technology continues to improve, lattice gauge theory [LGT] will become an increasingly useful means of studying hadronic physics through investigations of discretised quantum chromodynamics [QCD].....” Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 28 Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11
29
A Compromise? Dyson-Schwinger Equations 1994... “However, it is equally important to develop other complementary nonperturbative methods based on continuum descriptions. In particular, with the advent of new accelerators such as CEBAF (VA) and RHIC (NY), there is a need for the development of approximation techniques and models which bridge the gap between short-distance, perturbative QCD and the extensive amount of low- and intermediate-energy phenomenology in a single covariant framework.... ” Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 29 Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11

A Compromise? DSEs Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 32 Dyson (1949) & Schwinger (1951)... One can derive a system of coupled integral equations relating all the Green functions for a theory, one to another. Gap equation: o fermion self energy o gauge-boson propagator o fermion-gauge-boson vertex These are nonperturbative equivalents in quantum field theory to the Lagrange equations of motion. Essential in simplifying the general proof of renormalisability of gauge field theories. Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11

QCD is asymptotically-free (2004 Nobel Prize) Chiral-limit is well-defined; i.e., one can truly speak of a massless quark. NB. This is nonperturbatively impossible in QED.

Frontiers of Nuclear Science: Theoretical Advances In QCD a quark's effective mass depends on its momentum. The function describing this can be calculated and is depicted here. Numerical simulations of lattice QCD (data, at two different bare masses) have confirmed model predictions (solid curves) that the vast bulk of the constituent mass of a light quark comes from a cloud of gluons that are dragged along by the quark as it propagates. In this way, a quark that appears to be absolutely massless at high energies (m =0, red curve) acquires a large constituent mass at low energies.

Building on the concepts and theory that produces the features that have been described, one can derive numerous exact results in QCD.

Craig Roberts, Physics Division: The Physics of Hadrons 68 Epilogue Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) – mass from nothing for 98% of visible matter – is a reality o Expressed in M(p 2 ), with observable signals in experiment Poincaré covariance o Crucial in description of contemporary data o Quantum mechanics is inadequate as a tool in hadron physics Fully-self-consistent treatment of an interaction Essential if experimental data is truly to be understood. Hadron internal structure is far from simple o Distribution of charge, magnetisation, momentum, spin amongst constituents is wavelength (and frame) dependent o Correlations between constituents are key – Confinement is almost certainly the origin of DCSB – DCSB is a property of hadrons, not the “vacuum” Northwestern University: 7 Jan '11
