  2. CP Problem in QCD • Vacuum of the SU(3) gauge fields • Gauge potential: • Vacuum configurations: • Winding number: U(1)=1のとき，真空は3(SU(3))=Zで分類され，指標としてwinding number • q真空 • 巻き付き数の変化は，４次元的なゲージ場配位に対するPontrjagin数により決まる： • 固有状態は次の重ね合わせで与えられる： • 各q真空での有効Lagrangianは • この付加項はCPを破り，中性子に電気双極子モーメントを与える． Cf. 観測の制限： || < 10-9

  3. Peccei-Quinn Mechanism • Chiral anomaly • Chiral charge: Q5= s d3x (L* L – R* R)= NL-NR • Chiral anomaly • Q5’=Q5-2Nf n が保存　) Q5=2Nf • No fermion )=0 ) no CP violation • Peccei-Quinn symmetry • Lagrangian LY= -h(R** L + cc)はchiral変換 L ! eiL, R! eiR, ! e2i に対して，不変． • 対称性の自発的破れh0i=veiに対し，LY=-hv(ei dR* dL + cc). 質量を実数とするため，位相をchiral変換で消すと，anomalyのため !’=+ Nf. • インスタントン効果で，’はポテンシャルを獲得： V=-V0 cos’ )が力学的な場なら，自動的にCP対称性が回復 = v ’ ) V= (1/2) ma22 Peccei RD, Quinn HR: PRL38:1440 (1977); PRD16:1791 (1977) Weinberg S: PRL40:223 (1978); Wilczek F: PRL40:279 (1978)

  4. Axion-Photon Coupling • Lagrangian • Coupling constant where • fa: the PQ symmetry breaking scale • z=mu/md (0.3-0.6), w=mu/ms (¼ 0.028) • E/N: the model dependent ratio of the EM and color anomalies of the axial current associated with the axion field. • KSVZ model(Kim-Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov) E/N=0 • DFSZ model(Dine-Fischler-Srednicki-Zhitnitskii) E/N=8/3 • Mass where m=135 MeV, f¼ 92 MeV (the pion decay constant). Hence, the coupling constant and the mass are related as
