The Okubo relation for the baryon magnetic moments and chiral perturbation theory

We analyze the Okubo SU(3) relation among the hyperon magnetic moments in the usual scheme of chiral perturbation theory (ChPT). We classify the one-loop diagrams, including those with intermediate decuplet baryons, in a simple way according to whether or not they satisfy the Okubo relation. Contrary to the conventional wisdom, we find that one-loop contributions to the hyperon magnetic moments in general violate the Okubo relation if the physical masses are employed for the meson propagators in the loops.

SU(3) breaking and baryon magnetic moments

We show that the magnetic moments of the octet baryons can be fitted to an accuracy of 1.5 percent by a phenomenological Lagrangian in which SU(3) breaking corrections appear only linearly. This is in contrast to conventional chiral perturbation theory in which corrections non-analytic in SU(3) breaking dominate and tend to spoil the agreement with the data. Motivated by this observation, we propose a modified scheme for chiral perturbation theory that gives rise to a similar linear breaking of SU(3) symmetry. (Pacs 13.40.Em, 14.20.-c, 11.30.Rd)

Heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory and reparametrization invariance

We examine the constraints imposed by reparametrization invariance on heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). We study the case of 3 flavors and consider both the strong and weak ($|ΔS| =1$) interaction sector. Some of the parameters in the HBChPT Lagrangian are fixed as a consequence of reparametrization invariance. We discuss the consequences for the calculation of hyperon weak radiative decays in HBChPT.

Hyperon weak radiative decays in chiral perturbation theory

We investigate the leading-order amplitudes for weak radiative decays of hyperons in chiral perturbation theory. We consistently include contributions from the next-to-leading order weak-interaction Lagrangian. It is shown that due to these terms Hara's theorem is violated. The data for the decays of charged hyperons can be easily accounted for. However, at this order in the chiral expansion, the four amplitudes for the decays of neutral hyperons satisfy relations which are in disagreement with the data. The asymmetry parameters for all the decays can not be accounted for without higher-order terms. We shortly comment on the effect of the 27-plet part of the weak interaction.

Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory up to Next-to-Leading Order

We examine the general lagrangian for baryon chiral perturbation theory with SU(3) flavor symmetry, up to the next-to-leading order. We consider both the strong and the weak interaction. The inverse of the baryon mass is treated as an additional small expansion parameter, and heavy fermion effective field theory techniques are employed to provide a consistent expansion scheme. A detailed account is given on the restrictions imposed on the lagrangian by the various symmetries. Corrections due to the finite baryon mass are also discussed.

The off-Shell Electromagnetic Vertex of the Nucleon in Chiral Perturbation Theory

We study the electromagnetic vertex of a nucleon in next-to-leading order chiral perturbation theory (CPT). We consider the case where one of the nucleons at the $γ$NN vertex is off its mass shell. We define relevant measures for the off-shell dependence in the limited kinematical range allowed, and analyze their expansion in the pion mass. The leading nonanalytic contributions are calculated to estimate their size.
