Impact of Charge Symmetry Breaking on Gluon and Sea Quark Distributions in the Pion and Kaon

In this exploratory study, I present, for the first time, the implications of the charge symmetry breaking (CSB) that arise from the $u$ and $d$ quark mass differences on gluon and sea quark distribution functions of the pion and kaon in the framework of the Nambu--Jona-Lasino (NJL) model, which is a quark-level chiral effective theory of QCD, with the help of the proper-time regularization scheme to simulate color confinement of QCD. From the analysis, one finds that the charge symmetry (CS) gluon distribution for the pion has a good agreement with the prediction results obtained from the recent lattice QCD simulation and JAM global fit QCD analysis at a higher scale of $Q^2 =$ 5 GeV$^2$. The size of the CSB effects on gluon and sea quark distributions for the pion with the realistic ratios of $m_u/m_d = 0.5$ at $Q^2 =$ 5 GeV$^2$ are respectively estimated by 1.3\% and 2.0\% at $x \simeq 1$ in comparison with those for $m_u/m_d = 1.0$, while those for the kaon are approximately about 0.3\% and 0.5\% at $ x \simeq 1$, respectively. A remarkable result is found that the CSB effects on gluon distribution for the kaon are smaller than that for the pion, which has a similar prediction result as that for the CS case.

Effects of Symmetry Energy on the Equation of State for Hybrid Neutron Stars

In this paper, the implications of the symmetry energy on the hadron and quark phase transitions in the compact star, including the properties of the possible configurations of the quark-hadron hybrid stars, are investigated in the frameworks of the energy-density functional (EDF) models and the flavor SU(2) Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with the help of the Schwinger's covariant proper-time regularization (PTR) scheme. In this {theoretical setup}, the equations of states (EoSs) of hadronic matter for various values of symmetry energies obtained from the EDF models are employed to describe the hadronic matter, and the {flavor} SU(2) NJL model with various repulsive-vector interaction strengths are used to describe the quark matter. We then observe the obtained EoS in the mass-radius properties of the hybrid star configurations for various vector interactions and nuclear symmetry energies by solving the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff equation. We obtain that the critical density at which the phase transition occurs varies over the density (3.6--6.7)$ρ_0$ depending on the symmetry energy and the strength of the vector coupling $G_v$. The maximum mass of the neutron star (NS) is susceptible to $G_v$. When there is no repulsive force, the NS maximum mass is only about $1.5M_\odot$, but it becomes larger than $2.0M_\odot$ when the vector coupling constant is about half of the {attractive} scalar coupling constant. Surprisingly, the presence of the quark matter does not affect the canonical mass of NS ($1.4M_\odot$), so observing the canonical mass of NSs can provide unique constraints to the EoS of hadronic matter at high densities.

Neutrino propagation in the neutron star with uncertainties from nuclear, hadron, and particle physics

In the present work, we investigate the neutral-current neutrino-nucleon scattering in the nuclear medium using various energy-density functional (EDF) models such as the KIDS (Korea-IBS-Daegu-SKKU) and SLy4, together with the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model for the nucleon form factors at finite density. The differential cross section (DCS) and neutrino mean free path (NMFP) are computed numerically, considering the density-dependent nucleon form factors (DDFF) and neutrino structural properties such as the neutrino magnetic moment (NMM) and its electric charge radius (NCR). It turns out that the DDFF decreases the scattering cross-section, while the NCR increases it considerably. The effect of the NMM turns out to be almost negligible. We also observe that the value of the neutron effective mass is of importance in the neutron-star cooling process, indicating that for the neutron effective mass larger than the mass in free space, the neutrino can interact with matter at densities $ρ\gtrsim 1.5 ρ_0$ in the neutron star with radius 13 km.

Parton Distribution Functions for Pseudoscalar Mesons in the COnfining Effective Chiral Quark Theory

This review paper presents the gluon, sea, and valence quark distributions of the pseudoscalar (PS) mesons. The calculations of the parton structure of PS mesons are performed using the Bethe-Salpeter equation-Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (BSE-NJL) model, which offers a clear description of the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (D$χ$SB) of the low-energy nonperturbative quantum chromodynamics (QCD), with the help of the Schwinger proper-time regularization scheme that simulates the color QCD confinement. Our results for the dynamical quark mass -- which emerged from the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking (S$χ$SB) -- are generated via the chiral condensate in the chiral limit and beyond. Results for the valence parton distribution functions for the PS meson at the factorization scale $Q = 2$ GeV are in excellent agreement with experimental data and the gluon distribution for the pion fitted well with the lattice QCD and Jefferson Lab Angular Momentum (JAM) QCD global fit analysis.

Updated analyses of gluon distribution functions for the pion and kaon from the gauge-invariant nonlocal chiral quark model

In this work, we investigate the gluon distribution functions for the pion and kaon, in addition to the improved result of the valence-quark ones, in the gauge-invariant nonlocal chiral-quark model (NL$χ$QM), in which the momentum dependence of the quark interactions is properly taken into account. We then analyze the gluon distribution functions, generated dynamically through the splitting functions in the DGLAP QCD evolution. By comparing with the recent lattice QCD results and JAM global analyses, it is found that the present numerical results for the gluon parton distribution functions for the pion exhibit a remarkable agreement, followed by the valence up-quark distribution results for the pion by reproducing the reanalyzed experimental data. Our prediction on the gluon distribution functions for the kaon is also consistent with the recent lattice data for the kaon within the errors.

Effect of nucleon effective mass and symmetry energy on the neutrino mean free path in a neutron star

The Korea-IBS-Daegu-SKKU energy density functional (KIDS-EDF) models, constructed from the perturbative expansion of the energy density in nuclear matter, have been successfully and widely applied in describing the properties of finite nuclei and infinite nuclear matter. In the present work, we extend the applications of the KIDS-EDF models to investigate the implications of the nucleon effective mass and nuclear symmetry energy for the properties of neutron stars (NSs) and neutrino interaction with the NS constituent matter in the linear response approximation (LRA). At fixed neutrino energy and momentum transfer, we analyze the total differential cross section of neutrino, the neutrino mean free path (NMFP), and the NS mass-radius (M-R) relations. Remarkable results are given by the KIDS0-m*87 and SLy4 models, in which $M_n^* /M \lesssim 1$, and their NMFPs are quite higher in comparison with those obtained from the KIDS0, KIDS-A, and KIDS-B models, which result in $M_n^*/M \gtrsim 1$. For the KIDS0, KIDS-A, and KIDS-B models, we obtain $λ\lesssim R_{\textrm{NS}}$, indicating that these models could predict the slow NS cooling and neutrino trapping in NSs. In contrast, the KIDS0-m*87 and SLy4 models yield $λ\gtrsim R_{\textrm{NS}}$ and thus we expect faster NS cooling and a small possibility of neutrino trapping within NSs. We also calculate the NMFP as a function of the neutrino energy and the nuclear matter density and find that the NMFP decreases as the density and neutrino energy increase, which is consistent with the result obtained in the Brussels-Montreal Skyrme (BSk17 and BSk18) models at saturation density.

Gluon and valence quark distributions for the pion and kaon in nuclear matter

In this paper we study the gluon and valence quark distributions in the pion and kaon in nuclear medium for various nuclear densities as well as in vacuum within the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with the help of the proper-time regularization scheme which simulates a confinement of QCD. The nuclear medium effect is also determined in the same model for the symmetric nuclear matter. We then analyze the gluon and valence quark distributions for the bound pion and kaon in symmetric nuclear matter as well as those in vacuum. We find that the valence quark and gluon distributions in vacuum have relatively good agreements with the experimental data, the lattice QCD simulations, and the JAM Monte-Carlo (MC) global fit QCD analysis. Evolving to the higher factorization scale $Q = $ 4 GeV, the in-medium gluon and valence-quark distributions of the pion for various nuclear densities are turned out to be almost unchanged in comparison to the vacuum cases. On the contrary, for the kaon, they increase significantly with respect to the densities. Finally, we find that the vacuum gluon distribution for the kaon is smaller than that for the pion, which is consistent with other theoretical predictions. This feature holds for the in-medium gluon distribution in the nuclear density up to the saturation density.

A study of the elastic $πN$ scattering at finite baryon density

We investigate the elastic $πN$ scattering for the $I=3/2$ channel dominated by the $Δ(1232)$ resonance at finite baryon density $ρ_B$ for the symmetric nuclear matter, employing the effective Lagrangian approach at the tree-level Born approximation. The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model and linear-density approximation are employed to describe the medium modifications for the in-medium baryon properties, such as the nucleon and $Δ$ masses, and $Δ$ full decay width. We first reproduce the experimental data in vacuum by fitting the model parameters, then analyze various physical observables including total and differential cross sections, proton-spin asymmetry in medium. It turns out that the $Δ$-resonance contribution becomes diminished with respect to $ρ_B$, due to the weaker $πN$-interaction strength in medium. Beyond the $Δ$-resonance region $\sqrt{s}\gtrsim1.5$ GeV, the cross sections are almost independent of the density. The present results will be useful to understand the role of the $Δ$ resonance in the neutron-star equation of state (EoS) as well as in relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments.

Implications of PREX--2 data on the electron--neutrino opacity in dense matter

Motivated by the recent measurement of the neutron distribution radius of ${}^{208}$Pb from the PREX--2 data, I study the effects of the new G3(M) parameter set constrained by PREX--2 data on the electron--neutrino scattering in dense matter using the extended relativistic mean field (E--RMF) model. I employ the G3(M) parameter set to describe the nuclear matter. The obtained equation of state for the G3(M) parameter set has an excellent agreement with experimental data and the chiral effective field theory calculation with N$^3$LO 3N forces. I analyze both differential cross section of electron--neutrino and electron--neutrino mean free path to observe their sensitivity to the G3(M) parameter set. One finds that the differential cross sections of electron--neutrino for different baryon densities have higher values compared with that obtained for the TM1e and FSU Garnet parameter sets. The higher cross section decreases the electron--neutrino mean free path.

QCD chiral condensate and pseudoscalar-meson properties in the nuclear medium at finite temperature

The pion and kaon properties in a nuclear medium at nonvanishing temperature as well as the QCD chiral condensate in the presence of a magnetic field for various baryon densities are studied in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with the help of the proper-time regularization (PTR) scheme, simulating a QCD confinement. The density dependent of the quark mass in symmetric nuclear matter is obtained from the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which shares the same covariant feature with the NJL model, at quark level. We then analyze the QCD chiral condensates, and dynamical masses for various baryon densities at finite temperature and magnetic field as well as the pion and kaon masses, pion and kaon weak-decay constants, pion-and kaon-quark coupling constants, and wave function renormalization factors for various baryon densities at finite temperature. We find that the QCD chiral condensates suppress with increasing temperature and baryon density and enhance under the presence of a magnetic field, which are consistent with other model predictions. Interestingly, the wave function renormalization factors for the pion and kaon increase with respect to temperature and reduce as the baryon density increases are found.

Effects of neutrino magnetic moment and charge radius constraints and medium modifications of the nucleon form factors on the neutrino mean free path in dense matter

Effects of neutrino charge radius and magnetic moment constraints obtained from the astrophysical observations and reactor experiments, as well as in-medium modifications of the weak and electromagnetic nucleon form factors of the matter on the neutrino electroweak interaction with dense matter, are estimated. We use a relativistic mean-field model for the in-medium effective nucleon mass and quark-meson coupling model for nucleon form factors. We analyze the neutrino scattering cross section and mean free path in cold nuclear matter. We find that the increase of the cross section relative to that without neutrino form factors results in the decrease of the neutrino mean free path when neutrino form factors and the in-medium modifications of the nucleon weak and electromagnetic form factors are simultaneously considered. The quenching of the neutrino mean free path is evaluated to be about 12-58\% for the values of $μ_ν= 3 \times 10^{-12} μ_B$ and $R_ν= 3.5 \times 10^{-5}~\textrm{MeV}^{-1}$ compared with that obtained for the $μ_ν=0$ and $R_ν=0$. The decrease of the neutrino mean free path is expected to decelerate the cooling of neutron stars. Each contribution of the neutrino form factors to the neutrino mean free path is discussed.

Valence-quark distributions of pions and kaons in a nuclear medium

In-medium valence-quark distributions of $π^+$ and $K^+$ mesons in symmetric nuclear matter are studied by combining the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model and the quark-meson coupling model. The in-medium properties of the current quarks, which are used as inputs for studying the in-medium pion and kaon properties in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, are calculated within the quark-meson coupling model. The light-quark condensates, light-quark dynamical masses, pion and kaon decay constants, and pion- and kaon-quark coupling constants are found to decrease as nuclear density increases. The obtained valence quark distributions in vacuum for both the $π^+$ and $K^+$ could reasonably describe the available experimental data over a wide range of Bjorken-$x$. The in-medium valence $u$-quark distribution in the $π^+$ at $Q^2=16~\mbox{GeV}^2$ is found to be almost unchanged compared to the in-vacuum case. However, the in-medium to in-vacuum ratios of both the valence $u$-quark and valence $s$-quark distributions of the $K^+$ meson at $Q^2=16~\mbox{GeV}^2$ increase with nuclear matter density, but show different $x$-dependence. Namely, the ratio for the valence $u$-quark distribution increases with $x$, while that for the valence $s$ quark decreases with $x$. These features are enhanced at higher density regions.

Electroweak properties of kaons in a nuclear medium

Kaon electroweak properties in symmetric nuclear matter are studied in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model using the proper-time regularization. The valence quark properties in symmetric nuclear matter are calculated in the quark-meson coupling model, and they are used as inputs for studying the in-medium kaon properties in the NJL model. We evaluate the kaon decay constant, kaon-quark coupling constant, and $K^+$ electromagnetic form factor by two different approaches. Namely, by two different ways of calculating the in-medium constituent quark masses of the light quarks. We predict that, in both approaches, the kaon decay constant and kaon-quark coupling constant decrease as nuclear density increases, while the $K^+$ charge radius increases by 20-25\% at normal nuclear density.

Kaon form factor in holographic QCD

The kaon form factor in the spacelike region is calculated using a holographic QCD model with the "bottom-up" approach. We found that our result for the kaon form factor in low $Q^2$ has a remarkable agreement with the existing data, where $Q^2$ is the four-momentum transfer squared. The charge radius of the kaon, as well as the kaon decay constant, are found to be in a good agreement with the experiment data. We then predict the kaon form factor in the asymptotic region (larger $Q^2$) showing $1/Q^2$ behavior, which is consistent with the perturbative QCD prediction.

Effects of medium modifications of nucleon form factors on neutrino scattering in dense matter

Effects of the in-medium modifications of nucleon form factors on neutrino interaction in dense matter are presented by considering both the weak and electromagnetic interactions of neutrinos with the constituents of the matter. A relativistic mean field and the quark-meson coupling models are respectively adopted for the effective nucleon mass and in-medium nucleon form factors. We calculate the cross-section of neutrino scattering as well as the neutrino mean free path. We found the cross sections of neutrino scattering in cold nuclear medium decreases when the in-medium modifications of the nucleon weak and electromagnetic form factors are taken into account.This reduction results in the enhancement of the neutrino mean free path, in particular at the baryon density of around a few times of the normal nuclear matter density.

Effects of charge symmetry breaking on form factors of the pion and kaon

Effects of charge symmetry breaking associated with the $u$ and $d$ quark mass difference in the elastic form factors of the pion and kaon are presented. We use a confining version of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. The pion and kaon are described as a dressed quark and antiquark bound states governed by the Bethe-Salpeter equation, and exhibit the properties of Goldstone bosons, with the pion mass difference given by $m_{π^{+}}^2 - m_{π^{0}}^2 \propto (m_u -m_d)^2$ as demanded by dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. We found significant charge symmetry breaking effects for realistic current quark mass ratios ($m_u/m_d \sim 0.5$) in the quark electromagnetic form factors of the pion and kaon. We also report the effects of charge symmetry breaking on the parton distribution functions, which are rather smaller than those found in the electromagnetic form factors.

Dark matter and $B$-meson anomalies in a flavor dependent gauge symmetry

A possibility of explaining the anomalies in the semileptonic $B$-meson decay $B \to K^{*} μ\barμ$ has been explored in the framework of the gauged $U(1)_{μ-τ}$ symmetry. Apart from the muon anomalous magnetic moment and neutrino sector, we formulate the model starting with a valid Lagrangian and consider the constraints from the neutral meson mixings, the bounds on direct detection and the relic density of the bosonic dark matter candidate augmented to collider constraints. We search the parameter space, which accommodates the size of the anomaly of the $B \rightarrow K^* μ\bar μ$ decay, to satisfy all experimental constraints. We found the allowed region on the plane of the dark matter and $Z'$ masses is a rather narrow compared to the previous analysis.

Electroweak properties of pions in a nuclear medium

The charge form factor and weak decay constant of the pion as well as the pion-quark coupling constant in symmetric nuclear matter are explored in the framework of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, where the pion is described as a bound state of dressed quark-antiquark pair obtained by the Bethe-Salpeter equation. For the in-medium current quark properties, we adopt the quark-meson coupling model, which describes successfully many hadron properties in a nuclear medium. The pion decay constant and the pion-quark coupling constant are found to decrease with increasing density as well as the magnitude of the light quark condensate. But the pion mass is found to be insensitive to density up to $1.25$ times the normal nuclear density. The pion charge form factor in the space-like region is also explored and is found to have a similar $Q^2$ dependence as the form factor in vacuum showing $1/Q^2$-behavior in large $Q^2$ region, where $Q^2$ is the negative of the four-momentum transfer squared. The modifications of the charge radius of the charged pion in nuclear matter are then estimated and the root-mean-square radius at the normal nuclear density is predicted to be larger than that in vacuum by about 20\%.
