Abstract

Within the dual superconductor model for the QCD vacuum we compare the field penetration depth {lambda} with the correlation length {xi} of the Higgs condensate. The comparison places the vacuum marginally on the type II side. A qualitative check of the interaction between two parallel flux tubes gives also consistent indications for a weak repulsive behaviour.

Color confinement and dual superconductivity of the vacuum. IV

Journal Article D'Elia, M. ; Di Giacomo, A. ; Paffuti, G. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

A scaling analysis is made of the order parameter describing monopole condensation at the deconfining transition of N{sub f}=2 QCD around the chiral point. In accordance with scaling properties of the specific heat, studied in a previous paper, scaling is consistent with a first order transition. The status of dual superconductivity of the vacuum as a mechanism of color confinement is reviewed.

Superconductivity of QCD vacuum in strong magnetic field

Journal Article Chernodub, M. N. ; Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Gent, Krijgslaan 281, S9, B-9000 Gent - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We show that in a sufficiently strong magnetic field the QCD vacuum may undergo a transition to a new phase where charged {rho}{sup {+-}}mesons are condensed. In this phase the vacuum behaves as an anisotropic inhomogeneous superconductor which supports superconductivity along the axis of the magnetic field. In the directions transverse to the magnetic field the superconductivity is absent. The magnetic-field-induced anisotropic superconductivity - which is realized in the cold vacuum, i.e. at zero temperature and density - is a consequence of a nonminimal coupling of the {rho} mesons to the electromagnetic field. The onset of the superconductivity of themore »« less

QCD with two flavors of Wilson fermions: The QCD vacuum, the Aoki vacuum, and other vacua

Journal Article Azcoiti, V. ; Vaquero, A. ; Di Carlo, G. - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We discuss the vacuum structure of QCD with two flavors of Wilson fermions. We derive two possible scenarios: (i) If the spectral density {rho}{sub U}({lambda},{kappa}) of the overlap Hamiltonian in a fixed background gauge field is not symmetric in {lambda}, Hermiticity is violated and Hermiticity violation effects could influence numerical determinations of the {eta} meson mass if we are not near enough to the continuum limit, where Hermiticity should be recovered; (ii) otherwise we argue that, under certain assumptions, new phases appear beside the Aoki phase, which can be characterized by a nonvanishing vacuum expectation value of i{psi}{sub u}{gamma}{sub 5}{psi}{submore »« less

Differing forms, differing purposes: A typology of health impact assessment

Journal Article Harris-Roxas, Ben, E-mail: b.harris-roxas@unsw.edu.au ; Harris, Elizabeth, E-mail: e.harris@unsw.edu.a - Environmental Impact Assessment Review

There is currently considerable diversity in health impact assessment (HIA) practice internationally. Historically this diversity has been described as simple dichotomies, for example the differences between HIAs of projects and policies. However these distinctions have failed to adequately describe the differences that can be observed between different forms of HIAs. This paper describes the three historical and disciplinary fields from which HIA has emerged - environmental health, a social view of health, and health equity. It also puts forward a typology of four different forms of HIA that can be observed in current HIA practice: mandated, decision-support, advocacy, and community-ledmore »« less

Hadronic Spectrum of a Holographic Dual of QCD

Journal Article Teramond, Guy F. de ; Brodsky, Stanley J. - Physical Review Letters

We compute the spectrum of light hadrons in a holographic dual of QCD defined on AdS{sub 5}xS{sup 5} which has conformal behavior at short distances and confinement at large interquark separation. Specific hadrons are identified by the correspondence of string modes with the dimension of the interpolating operator of the hadron's valence Fock state. Higher orbital excitations are matched quanta to quanta with fluctuations about the AdS background. Since only one parameter, the QCD scale {lambda}{sub QCD}, is used, the agreement with the pattern of physical states is remarkable. In particular, the ratio of delta to nucleon trajectories is determinedmore »« less
