Hyperon-nucleon interactions in a chiral SU(3) quark model☆

Quark-chiral field interaction is studied in terms of the linear realization of the Lagrangian which is invariant under the SU(3)(L) x SU(3)(R) infinitesimal transformation and then is applied to the hyperon-nucleon scattering calculation in the framework of RGM, It is shown that the SU(3) chiral scalar fields affect the spin dependence of the Lambda-N interaction and can improve the theoretical Sigma(-)p scattering cross section

NN interactions in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model

Abstract The chiral SU (3) quark model is extended to include coupling between vector chiral field and quarks. By using this model, the phase shifts of NN scattering for different partial waves are studied. The results are very similar to those of the chiral SU (3) quark model calculation, in which one gluon exchange (OGE) plays dominate role in the short range part of the quark–quark interactions. Only in the 1 S 0 case, the one channel phase shifts of the extended chiral SU (3) quark model are obviously improved.

Dibaryon systems in chiral SU(3) quark model

The possible candidates of S-wave dibaryons with various strange numbers are studied under the chiral SU(3) quark model. It is shown that there are three types of baryon-baryon bound states. The states of the first type are called deuteron-like states. If chiral fields can provide enough attraction between interacting baryons, these systems, such as [Xi Omega - Xi*Omega]((1,1/2)), [Xi Xi]((0,1)), [N Omega]((2,1/2)) would be weakly bound. The states of the second type such as [Sigma*Delta]((0,5/2)), [Sigma*Delta]((3,1/2)), [Delta Delta](0,3) and [Delta Delta]((3,0)) are named as Delta Delta -like states. Due to the highly symmetric character in orbital space, these systems could be relatively deeply bound, but the strong decay modes of composed baryons cause the widths of the states much broader. The states of the third type are entitled as Omega Omega -like states. Due to the same symmetry character shown in the systems of the second type and the only weak decay mode of composed baryons, for instance in [Omega Omega](0,0), or at most one strong decay mode of composed baryons, for example in [Xi*Omega]((0,1/2)), these states are deeply bound states with narrow widths. The states of latter two types are most interesting new dibaryon states and should be carefully investigated both theoretically and experimentally

Strange hadronic matter in a chiral SU(3) quark mean-field model

A quark-meson coupling model based on SU(3)(L) x SU(3)(R) symmetry and scale invariance is proposed, We apply this chiral SU(3) quark mean-field model to investigate strange hadronic matter including Lambda, Sigma and Xi hyperons, With the symmetry-breaking term, all the hyperon potentials are reasonable. The effective baryon masses, binding energy and hyperon ratios are discussed with four types of confining potentials

Multi-strange hadronic systems in a chiral SU(3) quark mean field model

We apply the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model to investigate the finite nuclei. We find that the combined confining potential chi(c)(C) is more proper to describe finite nuclei compared with the scalar and scalar-vector potentials. The hypernuclei and multi-strange objects which include A and Xi are discussed in this model. The maximum binding energy for such kind of multi-strange objects is about 16-17 MeV and the corresponding strangeness fraction f(s) is around 1.2-1.3

SPIN-ORBIT FORCE OF HYPERON-NUCLEON INTERACTION IN THE CHIRAL SU(3) QUARK MODEL

The spin-orbit (LS) force of the hyperon-nucleon interaction is studied in the chiral SU(3) quark model. The symmetric LS terms from the one gluon exchange (OGE) and the scalar nonet exchange (OSE) are taken into account. It is shown that two different treatments (the LS coupling from either OGE or OSE being artificially enhanced in order to reproduce the P-3(J) phase shifts of the nucleon-nucleon scattering) lead to very similar LS couplings in the Sigma N(I = 3/2) channel but give quite different results in the Lambda N - Sigma N(I = 1/2) coupled-channel system. A prominent resonance occurs in the P-1(1) state of the Lambda N channel mainly due to the stronger LS(-) couplings in the Lambda N - Sigma N(I = 1/2) coupled-channel system in the OGE enhanced case. Comparatively the Lambda N P-1(1) phase shift curve exhibits a rather smooth behaviour in the OSE enhanced case. Comparing our theoretical results with the experimental data available, and considering the requirement of the baryon spectrum, one can deduce that a stronger color-independent LS coupling is preferred in the chiral quark model

A study of the nucleon-nucleon spin-orbit force in the quark model

Abstract Spin-orbit interactions between two quarks due to the one-gluon exchange, confinement potential, σ-exchange of the chiral field and two-gluon exchange are considered in our calculation. As a consequence, the spin-orbit energy splitting of the 1P state in the baryon spectrum and the 3P2 phase shifts of NN scattering can unifiedly be explained.

Chiral symmetry restoration of nuclear matter

The phase transition of chiral symmetry restoration of nuclear matter is studied in the chiral SU(3) quark mean field model. For some kinds of confining potentials, there exists a critical density ρc. When the baryon density is larger than ρc, nuclear matter will be in the phase of chiral symmetry restoration. At critical density, the physical quantities change discontinuously. The critical density will become larger when the vector part of the confining potential increases.
