Bogoliubov compensation approach in QCD and in the electroweak theory

We describe application of Bogoliubov compensation principle to calculation of non-perturbative contribution in the electroweak theory and QCD. We obtain unique solutions of compensation equations, which impose strong restrictions on parameters of theories and on functional dependence of corresponding form-factors. We calculate value of running gauge electroweak coupling $\alpha_w(M_W)=0.0374$, that differs from the experimental value less than by 10%. We derive effective Nambu-Jona-Lasinio interaction from fundamental QCD and express its parameters in terms of initial QCD parameters: $\alpha_s$ at low-momenta and current mass of light quarks. This leads to satisfactory description of low-mass hadron physics.Comment: 6 pages, no figures, talk presented at the International Bogolyubov Conference, August 21-27, 2009, Moscow-Dubna, Russi

Spontaneous generation of the Nambu --Jona-Lazinio interaction in quantum chromodynamics with two light quarks

In QCD with two light quarks with application of Bogolubov quasi-averages approach a possibility of spontaneous generation of an effective interaction, leading to the Nambu -- Jona-Lazinio model, is studied. Compensation equations for form-factor of the interaction is shown to have the non-trivial solution leading to theory with two parameters: average low-energy value of $\alpha_s$ and dimensional parameter $f_\pi$. All other parameters: the current and the constituent quark masses, the quark condensate, mass of $\pi$ meson, mass of $\sigma$ meson and its width are expressed in terms of the two initial parameters in satisfactory correspondence to experimental phenomenology. The results being obtained allow to state an applicability of the approach in the low-energy hadron physics and promising possibilities of its applications to other problems.Comment: 16 pages, 1 table, 3 figure

Observations on the radiative corrections to pion beta-decay

We find that, in the local V-A theory, the radiative corrections to pion beta-decay involving the weak vector current, when evaluated in the current algebra (CA) formulation in which quarks are the fundamental underlying fields, show a small difference with the more elementary calculations based directly on the pion fields. We show that this difference arises from a specific short-distance effect that depends on the algebra satisfied by the weak and electromagnetic currents. On the other hand, we present a simple theoretical argument that concludes that this difference does not occur when the CA formulation is compared with the chiral perturbation theory (chiPT) approach. Comparisons with previous studies, and with a more recent calculation based on chiPT, are included. We also briefly review the important differences between the results in the local V-A theory and the Standard Model.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure. V2: two paragraphs have been added in Section III.

The running of the electromagnetic coupling alpha in small-angle Bhabha scattering

A method to determine the running of alpha from a measurement of small-angle Bhabha scattering is proposed and worked out. The method is suited to high statistics experiments at e+e- colliders, which are equipped with luminometers in the appropriate angular region. A new simulation code predicting small-angle Bhabha scattering is also presentedComment: 15 pages, 3 Postscript figure

O(\alpha^2 \ln(m_\mu/m_e)) Corrections to Electron Energy Spectrum in Muon Decay

O(\alpha^2 \ln(m_\mu/m_e)) corrections to electron energy spectrum in muon decay are computed using perturbative fragmentation function approach. The magnitude of these corrections is comparable to anticipated precision of the TWIST experiment at TRIUMF where Michel parameters will be extracted from the measurement of the electron energy spectrum in muon decay.Comment: 8 pages, LaTeX, revtex4.cls, 1 PostScript figur
