$ΔS=0$ Effective Weak Chiral Lagrangian from the Instanton Vacuum

We investigate the $ΔS=0$ effective chiral Lagrangian from the instanton vacuum. Based on the $ΔS=0$ effective weak Hamiltonian from the operator product expansion and renormalization group equations, we derive the strangeness-conserving effective weak chiral Lagrangian from the instanton vacuum to order ${\cal O}(p^2)$ and the next-to-leading order in the $1/N_c$ expansion at the quark level. We find that the quark condensate and a dynamical term which arise from the QCD and electroweak penguin operators appear in the next-to-leading order in the $1/N_c$ expansion for the $ΔS =0$ effective weak chiral Lagrangian, while they are in the leading order terms in the $ΔS = 1$ case. Three different types of the form factors are employed and we find that the dependence on the different choices of the form factor is rather insensitive. The low-energy constants of the Gasser-Leutwyler type are determined and discussed in the chiral limit.

Parity violation in $pp$ scattering and vector-meson weak-coupling constants

We calculate the parity-nonconserving longitudinal asymmetry in the elastic $\vec{p} p$ scattering at the energies where experimental data are available. In addition to the standard one-meson exchange weak potential, the variation of the strong-coupling constants and the non-standard effects such as form factors and $2 π$-exchange description of the $ρ$-exchange potential are taken into account. With the extra effects, we investigate the compatibility of the experimental data and the presently-known range of the vector-meson weak-coupling constants.

Effective mass and decay of $Θ^+$ in nuclear matter in quark-meson coupling model

The in-medium mass of a $\thetaplus$, $\mtheta^*$, in cold symmetric nuclear matter is calculated by using the quark-meson coupling model. The $Θ^+$ is treated as an MIT bag with the quark content $uudd\bar s$. Bag parameters for a free $\thetaplus$ are fixed to reproduce the observed mass of the $\thetaplus$. In doing so, we use three different values of the $s$-quark mass since the mass of the $s$-quark is not well known. As usual, the strengths of the $u$ and $d$ quark couplings to $σ$- and $ω$-meson fields are determined to fit the nuclear saturation properties. However, the coupling constant $g_σ^s$ between the $s$-quark and the $σ$-meson cannot be fixed from the saturation properties, and thus we treat $g_σ^s$ as a free parameter and investigate how $\mtheta^*$ depends on $g_σ^s$. %$\mtheta^*$ is calculated up to 2.5 times the nuclear saturation density, %and we find that We find that $\mtheta^*$ depends significantly on the value of $g_σ^s$ but not on the mass of the $s$-quark. Chemical potentials of the $Θ^+$ and the $K+N$ system are calculated to discuss the decay of a $Θ^+$ in nuclear matter. We calculate the effective mass of a kaon in nuclear matter in two ways; using the optical potential of $K^-$ in matter and using quark model. By comparing the effective masses calculated from these two methods, we find the magnitude of the real part of the optical potential that is consistent with the usual quark model is about 100 MeV.

Hadron Masses in Medium and Neutron Star Properties

We investigate the properties of the neutron star with relativistic mean field models. We incorporate in the quantum hadrodynamics and in the quark-meson coupling models a possible reduction of meson masses in nuclear matter. The equation of state for neutron star matter is obtained and is employed in Oppenheimer-Volkov equation to extract the maximum mass of the stable neutron star. We find that the equation of state, the composition and the properties of the neutron stars are sensitive to the values of the meson masses in medium.

Parity nonconserving observables in thermal neutron capture on a proton

We calculate parity nonconserving observables in the processes where a neutron is captured on a proton at the threshold energy radiating a photon. Various potential models such as Paris, Bonn and Argonne $v18$ are used for the strong interactions, and the meson-exchange description is employed for the weak interactions between hadrons. The photon polarization $P_γ$ in the unpolarized neutron capture process and photon asymmetry $A_γ$ in the polarized neutron capture process are obtained in terms of the weak meson-nucleon coupling constants. $A_γ$ turns out to be basically insensitive to the employed strong interaction models and thus can be uniquely determined in terms of the weak coupling constants, but $P_γ$ depends significantly on the strong interaction models.

Parity Nonconservation in the Photodisintegration of the Deuteron at Low Energy

The parity-nonconserving asymmetry in the deuteron photodisintegration, $\vecγ+d\to n+p$, is considered with the photon energy ranged up to 10 MeV above the threshold. The aim is to improve upon a schematic estimate assuming the absence of tensor as well as spin-orbit forces in the nucleon-nucleon interaction. The major contributions are due to the vector-meson exchanges, and the strong suppression of the pion-exchange contribution is confirmed. A simple argument, going beyond the observation of an algebraic cancellation, is presented. Contributions of meson-exchange currents are also considered, but found to be less significant.

Deuteron Anapole Moment with Heavy Mesons

Parity-nonconserving two-body currents due to vector meson exchange are considered with the aim to determine the related contributions to the anapole moment. A particular attention is given to the requirement of current conservation which is essential for a reliable estimate of this quantity. An application is made for the deuteron case.

A Higher-Order Calculation of $np$ Scattering in Cut-Off Effective Field Theory

We report a next-to-leading-order (NLO) chiral perturbation theory calculation of the neutron-proton scattering cross section in the ${}^1S_0$ channel using a cut-off regularization. The inclusion of two-pion exchanges in the irreducible diagrams -- or potential -- figuring at NLO is found to be important in enlarging the domain of validity of the effective field theory. We are able to reproduce the {\it empirical} scattering phase shift up to p=300 MeV -- which is comparable to the cutoff scale involved -- with an agreement which is superior to results of other effective field theory approaches. We also discuss the role of the cutoff as a renormalization prescription and the importance of the explicit pion degree of freedom in scattering process.
