Chiral anomalies and quark masses
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Rev., D; (United States)
The relation between chiral-symmetry breaking and quark masses is studied in the framework of the recently proposed extended partially conserved axial-vector current hypothesis and using chiral anomalies relevant to ..pi../sup 0/ ..-->.. ..gamma gamma.. and eta ..-->.. ..gamma gamma... Equations are obtained which relate the quark masses to the chiral-symmetry-breaking parameters ..delta../sub ..pi../and ..delta../sub K/ which measure the deviations from Goldberger-Treiman relations in SU(2) x SU(2) and SU(3) x SU(3), respectively. Although, numerically, it is only possible to obtain bounds for the quark masses, these seem to be higher than what has been recently estimated in model-dependent approaches. Finally, the effect of quark confinement is briefly discussed.
