Two photon decays of scalar mesons f_0(980), a_0(980), σ(600) in the quark Nambu - Jona - Lasinio (NJL) model are calculated. The contributions of the meson loops are taken into account along with the quark loops (Hartree - Fock approximation). This corresponds to the next order of the 1/N_c expansion, where
N_c=3 is the number of quark colors. It is shown that the meson and quark loops give comparable contributions to the amplitude. Moreover, in the process f_0(980)-> γγthe kaon loop plays the dominant role. A similar situation takes place in the decay
ϕ-> f_0(980) γ\cite{physrev}.
Our results are in satisfactory agreement with the recent experimental data.
The $U(3) \times U(3)$ chiral symmetric NJL model describing pseudoscalar, vector, and axial vector mesons in both the ground state and first radially excited states is shortly presented in this review. In this model, it is possible to describe a large number of low-energy interactions of mesons, $τ$ lepton decays into mesons and processes of meson production in electron-positron annihilations in satisfactory agreement with the experiments. In describing a number of processes, it turned out to be necessary to take into account the interactions of mesons in the final state.
In the extended $U(3)\times U(3)$ NJL model, semileptonic decays of $ρ$, $ω$, $ϕ$, $η$ and $η'$ mesons in both the ground and first radially excited states are described. Quark loops of the anomalous type are considered, which are based on the vertex $η\to VV$. The obtained results are in satisfactory agreement with the existing experimental data. In addition, a number of predictions for experimentally unmeasured decays of radially excited mesons are presented.
The branching fractions of $τ$ lepton decays with the production of strange scalar mesons both in the ground and first radially excited states $τ\to ν_τ[K^*_0(700), K^*_0(1430)]$ and $τ\to ν_τ[K^*_0(700)π, K^*_0(1430)π, K^*_0(700) K, K^*_0 (700)η]$ are calculated in the extended $U(3) \times U(3)$ chiral quark NJL model. All mesons are considered as $q\bar{q}$ systems. The obtained results should be considered as predictions for future experiments.
The mass spectrum of $π^+$ and $ρ^+$ mesons in the presence of a static uniform magnetic field $\vec B$ is studied within a two-flavor NJL-like model. We improve previous calculations taking into account the effect of Schwinger phases carried by quark propagators, and using an expansion of meson fields in terms of the solutions of the corresponding equations of motion for nonzero $B$. It is shown that the meson polarization functions are diagonal in this basis. Our numerical results for the $ρ^+$ meson spectrum are found to disfavor the existence of a meson condensate induced by the magnetic f…
The effect of the interaction of mesons in the final state is additionally considered within the description of $τ\to πη(η') ν_τ$ decays. This interaction is taken into account at the level of production of intermediate pions. One of them, in turn, might be transited into $η$ or $η'$ mesons. Our results do not exceed the experimentally established branching fractions, and they are in agreement with the results of other theoretical studies.
Mixing effects on the mass spectrum of light neutral pseudoscalar and vector mesons in the presence of an external uniform magnetic field $\vec B$ are studied in the framework of a two-flavor NJL-like model. The model includes isoscalar and isovector couplings both in the scalar-pseudoscalar and vector sectors, and also incorporates flavor mixing through a 't Hooft-like term. Numerical results for the $B$ dependence of meson masses are compared with present lattice QCD results. In particular, it is shown that the mixing between pseudoscalar and vector meson states leads to a significant reduct…
The processes $e^{+}e^{-} \to ππ(π')$ in the extended NJL model
过程$e^{+}e^{-} \to π^{+}π^{-}$是在扩展的NJL模型的框架中描述的。中间矢量介子$ρ^0(770)$、$ω(782)$和π '（1450）$ are taken into account. Our results are in satisfactory agreement with experimental data. The prediction for the process $ e^{+}e^{-} \to π'（1300）$ is given. Here the main contribution is given by the diagram with intermediate $ π '（1450）$介子。
Baryon number fluctuations are believed to be good signatures of the QCD phase transition and its CP. Since the fluctuations are proportional to the various order baryon-number susceptibilities and the quark-number density is related to the dressed quark propagator, then by the two flavor NJL model we can calculate the moments of the up and down quarks. By comparing the two flavor NJL model results with the experimental data of $Sσ$ and $κσ^2$ for the net-proton distributions of Au+Au collisions by STAR, we found that the NJL results fit the experiments better at large collision energies and s…
In this work, a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model with proper-time regularization is employed to study the structure of nonstrange quark stars. The coupling constant of four-fermion interaction in the conventional NJL model is modified as $G=G_1+G_2\langle\barψψ\rangle$ to highlight the feedback of quark propagator to gluon propagator. To study the dependence of the equation of state (EOS) on this modification as well as the vacuum pressure, we choose nine representative EOSs for comparison. It is found that a smaller $G_1$ leads to a stiffer EOS, and a higher vacuum pressure (i.e., a sm…
The decay width $τ\to K^{*-}(892) ην_τ$ was calculated in the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. Four channels were taken into account: the contact channel (the final states are directly producted from lepton current without any intermediate meson states), the axial-vector channel with two intermediate physical states $K_{1}(1270)$ and $K_{1}(1400)$, the vector channel with intermediate $K^{*}(892)$ meson and the pseudoscalar channel with intermediate $K$ meson. It is shown that the first two channels give the dominant contribution to the decay width. Of the remaining two channels, the pseudoscalar ch…
We analyze the thermodynamical properties of a system of strongly interacting particles at vanishing quark chemical potential in the framework of a recently developed extension of the Polyakov-Nambu-Jona-Lasinio Model. In addition to eight quark interactions terms, non-canonical terms which explicitly break chiral symmetry up to the same order in a $1/N_c$ expansion ($N_c$ number of colors) are included. A recently proposed Polyakov potential is considered and the results are compared to lattice QCD data resulting in a favorable scenario for the recent model variants.
The properties of magnetized color superconducting cold dense quark matter under compact star conditions are investigated using a $SU(2)_f$ Nambu Jona-Lasinio (NJL)-type model in which the divergences are treated using a magnetic field independent regularization scheme in order to avoid unphysical oscillations. We study the phase diagram for several model parametrizations. The features of each phase are analyzed through the behavior of the chiral and superconducting condensates together with the different particle densities for increasing chemical potential or magnetic field. While confirming …
