The ratio gA/gV in cavity QCD

Page, Philip R January 1991 (has links)
Bibliography: pages 96-98. / BRS invariant quantum chromodynamics in a spherical cavity is developed using canonical quantization. The weak vector and axial form factors are defined, employing a classical external W- field. The Gell-Mann and Low theorem is extended to include non-diagonal matrix elements and degenerate perturbation theory. The Sucher form of the Gell-Mann and Low theorem is employed to calculate corrections of order GFg² in the weak and strong coupling constants to gA and gv for neutron beta decay. Up and down quarks are assumed massless. The gauge-independent divergences from the loop diagrams cancel each other and can be regularized dimensionally, making renormalization unnecessary. We find that the weak vector and axial current coupling constants are respectively: 9v = 1.0000 gA = 1.0883 + 0.2425 αs', where the preferred value of αs = 2.2 in the M.I.T. bag model gives gA = 1.62.
