    The contributions of qqqqqˉqqqq\bar{q} components to the axial charges of proton and its resonances

    Full text link
    We calculate the axial charges of the proton and its resonances in the framework of the constituent quark model, which is extended to include the qqqqqˉqqqq\bar{q} components. If 20% admixtures of the qqqqqˉqqqq\bar{q} components in the proton are assumed, the theoretical value for the axial charge in our model is in good agreement with the empirical value, which can not be well reproduced in the traditional constituent quark model even though the SU(6)⨂O(3)SU(6) \bigotimes O(3) symmetry breaking or relativistic effect is taken into account. We also predict an unity axial charge for N∗(1440)N^{*}(1440) with 30% qqqqqˉqqqq\bar{q} components constrained by the strong and electromagnetic decays.Comment: 4 pages, 4 table

    Band-filling effects on electron-phonon properties of normal and superconducting state

    Full text link
    We address the effect of band filling on the effective electron mass m∗m^* and the superconducting critical temperature TcT_c in a electron-phonon system. We compare the vertex corrected theory with the non-crossing approximation of the Holstein model within a local approximation. We identify two regions of the electron density where m∗m^* and TcT_c are enhanced or decreased by the inclusion of the vertex diagrams. We show that the crossover between the enhancement at low density and the decrease towards half filling is almost independent of the microscopic electron-phonon parameters. These different behaviors are explained in terms of the net sign of the vertex diagrams which is positive at low densities and negative close to half filling. Predictions of the present theory for doped MgB2_2, which is argued to be in the low density regime, are discussed.Comment: 13 revtex pages, figures eps include
