Exact Topological Density In The Lattice Skyrme Model, Alec Schramm, Benjamin Svetitsky
Exact Topological Density In The Lattice Skyrme Model, Alec Schramm, Benjamin Svetitsky
Alec J Schramm
We propose using the Skyrme model on a lattice as an effective field theory of meson–baryon interactions. To this end we construct a local topological density that involves the volumes of tetrahedra in the target space S3 and we make use of Coxeter’s formula for the Schla¨fli function to implement it. We calculate the mean-square radius of a skyrmion in the three-dimensional Skyrme model, and find some surprises.

Topology And Metastability In The Lattice Skyrme Model, Alec Schramm, Benjamin Svetitsky

We offer the Skyrme model on a lattice as an effective field theory—fully quantized—of baryon-meson interactions at temperatures below the chiral phase transition. We define a local topological density that involves the volumes of tetrahedra in the target space S3 and we make use of Coxeter’s formula for the Schläfli function to implement it. This permits us to calculate the mean-square radius of a Skyrmion in the three-dimensional lattice Skyrme model, which may be viewed as a Ginzburg-Landau effective theory for the full quantum theory at finite temperature. We find that, contrary to expectations, the Skyrmion shrinks as quantum and …
Glueball Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions, Alec Schramm
Glueball Production In Peripheral Heavy-Ion Collisions, Alec Schramm
Alec J Schramm
The method of equivalent quanta is applied both to photon-photon and, by analogy, to double pomeron exchange in heavy-ion collisions. This Weizsäcker-Williams approach is used to calculate production cross sections for the glueball candidate fJ(1710) meson via photon-photon and pomeron-pomeron fusion in peripheral heavy-ion collisions at both RHIC and LHC energies. The impact parameter dependence for total and elastic cross sections is presented, and compared with results for proton-proton collisions.

We estimate the production cross section for ηc and ηb mesons via Pomeron-Pomeron fusion in peripheral heavy-ion collisions. Total and elastic PP cross sections are calculated in an equivalent Pomeron approximation.

We estimate the impact parameter dependence of the production cross section for ηc and ηb mesons in peripheral heavy-ion collisions. Total and elastic γγ cross sections are calculated in an equivalent photon approximation.

Alec J Schramm
We estimate the cross section for quasielastic double pion exchange in high energy proton-proton collisions. Total and elastic ππ cross sections are calculated in an equivalent pion approximation, with pion-baryon vertices taken from chiral perturbation theory.
