    Three-Loop Results on the Lattice

    Full text link
    We present some new three-loop results in lattice gauge theories, for the Free Energy and for the Topological Susceptibility. These results are an outcome of a scheme which we are developing (using a symbolic manipulation language), for the analytic computation of renormalization functions on the lattice.Comment: (Contribution to Lattice-92 conference). 4 page

    Search for magnetic monopoles with nuclear track detectors

    Get PDF
    This paper describes an experimental search for GUT magnetic monopoles in the MACRO experiment using the nuclear track subdetector CR39. After discussing the working principle, the charge resolution and the calibration of the detector, the experimental procedure for searching for magnetic monopoles is described. Since no candidates were found, the upper flux limits obtained by the MACRO CR39 used as a "stand alone detector" for magnetic monopoles of different magnetic charges are presented.Comment: 4 pages, 7 EPS figures included with epsfig, uses espcrc2.sty Talk given at the Sixth Topical Seminar on Neutrino and Astroparticle Physics, San Miniato, Italy, 17-21 May 199

    Results of a high statistics study of chromo field distributions around static sources in pure SU(2) gauge theory on lattices of volumes 16416^4, 32432^4, and 483×6448^3\times 64 at β=2.5\beta=2.5, 2.6352.635, and 2.742.74 are presented. We establish string formation up to physical distances as large as 2 fm.Comment: Contribution to Lattice '94, 3 pages uu-compressed LaTeX + 3 psfig

    Isospin Symmetry Breaking and the ρω\rho-\omega-System

    Full text link
    Simple quark models for the low lying vector mesons suggest a mixing between the u- and d-flavors and a violation of the isospin symmetry for the ρω\rho-\omega- system much stronger than observed. It is shown that the chiral dynamics, especially the QCD anomaly, is responsible for a restoration of the isospin symmetry in the ρω\rho-\omega-system.Comment: 4 pages, espcrc2.st

    New approach to the non-perturbative physics

    Full text link
    It was shown that the non-perturbative properties of the vacuum are described by the quantum fluctuations around the classical background with zero canonical momentum. The vacuum state has been built and checked in the framework of the sigma models in two dimentions.Comment: 9 pages, late

    Quantum Instantons and Quantum Chaos

    Full text link
    Based on a closed form expression for the path integral of quantum transition amplitudes, we suggest rigorous definitions of both, quantum instantons and quantum chaos. As an example we compute the quantum instanton of the double well potential.Comment: Extended version with new figures. Text (LaTeX), 5 Figures (epsi files

    Package for Calculations and Simplifications of Expressions with Dirac Matrixes (MatrixExp)

    Full text link
    This paper describes a package for calculations of expressions with Dirac matrixes. Advantages to existing similar packages are described. MatrixExp package is intended for simplification of complex expressions involving γ\gamma-matrixes, providing such tools as automatic Feynman parameterization, integration in dd-dimensional space, sorting and grouping of results in a given order. Also, in comparison with existing similar package Tracer, presented package MatrixExp has more enhanced input possibility. User-available functions of MatrixExp package are described in detail. Also an example of calculation of Feynman diagram for process bsγgb\to s\gamma g with application of functions of MatrixExp package is presented

    Large N_c Limit of Spin-Flavor Breaking in Excited Baryon Levels

    Full text link
    Spin-flavor symmetry breaking in the levels of excited Baryons are studied to leading order in the 1/NcN_c expansion. This breaking occurs at zeroth order. For non-strange Baryons with a single quark excited, it is shown that to first order of perturbation theory the breaking is given by one 1-body operator (spin-orbit), and three 2-body operators, all involving the orbital angular momentum of the excited quark. Higher-body operators can be reduced to that set of operators. As illustration, p-wave Baryons are briefly discussed.Comment: 16 pages, one table, Latex file; title changed, some omitted operators have been included and corrections to the results have been mad

    Using differential equations to compute two-loop box integrals

    Get PDF
    The calculation of exclusive observables beyond the one-loop level requires elaborate techniques for the computation of multi-leg two-loop integrals. We discuss how the large number of different integrals appearing in actual two-loop calculations can be reduced to a small number of master integrals. An efficient method to compute these master integrals is to derive and solve differential equations in the external invariants for them. As an application of the differential equation method, we compute the O(ϵ){\cal O}(\epsilon)-term of a particular combination of on-shell massless planar double box integrals, which appears in the tensor reduction of 222 \to 2 scattering amplitudes at two loops.Comment: 5 pages, LaTeX, uses espcrc2.sty; presented at Loops and Legs in Quantum Field Theory, April 2000, Bastei, German
