How strange is the nucleon? Martin Mojžiš, Comenius University, Bratislava. Not at all, as to the strangeness S N = 0 Not that clear, as to the strangness content. the story of 3 sigmas. (none of them being the standard deviation). baryon octet masses. N scattering (CD point).

How strange is the nucleon?Martin Mojžiš, Comenius University, Bratislava • Not at all, as to the strangeness SN = 0 • Not that clear, as to the strangness content
the story of 3 sigmas (none of them being the standard deviation) baryon octet masses N scattering (CD point) N scattering (data)
the story of 3 sigmas Gell-Mann, Okubo Gasser, Leutwyler baryon octet masses 26 MeV 64 MeV simple LET 64 MeV Brown, Pardee, Peccei N scattering (CD point) 64 MeV Höhler et al. N scattering (data) data
big y 26 MeV 64 MeV OOPS !
big y is strange 64 MeV 26 0.3 376 MeV 64 MeV 500 MeV
big why Why does QCD build up the lightest baryon using so much of such a heavy building block? s d does not work for s with a buddy d with the same quantum numbers but why should every shave a buddy d with the same quantum numbers?
big y small y ? • How reliable is the value of y ? • What approximations were used to get the values of the three sigmas ? • Is there a way to calculate corrections to the approximate values ? • What are the corrections ? • Are they large enough to decrease y substantially ? • Are they going in the right directions ?
the original numbers: SU(3) group theory current algebra SU(2)L SU(2)R current algebra SU(2)L SU(2)R dispersion relations analycity & unitarity N scattering (data)
the original numbers: • controls the mass splitting (PT, 1st order) • is controlled by the transformation properties • of the sandwiched operator • of the sandwiching vector (GMO)
the original numbers: chiral symmetry the tool: effective lagrangians (ChPT)
the original numbers: • one from , others with c2,c3,c4,c5 • all with specific p-dependence • they do vanish at the CD point ( t = 2M2 ) other contributions to the vertex: for t = 2M2(and = 0) both (t) and (part of) the N-scattering are controlled by the same term in the Leff
the original numbers: underestimated error extrapolation from the physical region to unphysical CD point KH analysis • a choice of a parametrization of the amplitude • a choice of constraints imposed on the amplitude • a choice of experimental points taken into account • a choice of a “penalty function” to be minimized • see original papers • fixed-t dispersion relations • old database (80-ties) • see original papers • many possible choices, at different level of sophistication • if one is lucky, the result is not very sensitive to a particular choice • one is not • early determinations: Cheng-Dashen = 110 MeV, Höhler = 4223 MeV • the reason: one is fishing out an intrinsically small quantity (vanishing for mu=md=0) • the consequence: great care is needed to extract from data

no conclusions: Roy-like equations • a choice of a parametrization of the amplitude • a choice of constraints imposed on the amplitude • a choice of experimental points taken into account • a choice of a “penalty function” to be minimized • Becher-Leutwyler • well under controll • up-to-date database • not decided yet • new analysis of the data is clearly called for • redoing the KH analysis for the new data is quite a nontrivial task • work in progress (Sainio, Pirjola) • Roy equations used recently successfully for -scattering • Roy-like equations proposed also for N-scattering • work in progress
