Lyubovitskij" ], "categories": [ "hep-ph" ], "abstract": "We present the calculation of the hyperon forward spin polarizability gamma0 using manifestly Lorentz covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory including the intermediate contribution of the spin 3/2 states. As at the considered order the extraction of gamma0 is a pure prediction of chiral perturbation theory, the obtained values are a good test for this theory. After including explicitly the decuplet states, our SU(2) results have a very good agreement with the experimental data and we extend our framework to SU(3) to give predictions to the hyperons' gamma0 values. Prominent are the Sigma^- and Xi^- baryons as their photon transition to the decuplet is forbidden in SU(3) symmetry and therefore they are not sensitive to the explicit inclusion of the decuplet in the theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-09-03T07:01:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11.30.Rd", "12.39.Fe", "13.60.Fz", "14.20.Jn" ], "keywords": [ "baryon chiral perturbation theory", "hyperon forward spin polarizability gamma0", "lorentz covariant baryon chiral", "covariant baryon chiral perturbation" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevD.92.096004" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv150900955H", "inspire": 1391654 } } }
