Title: The CST: Its Achievements and Its Connection to the Light Cone

Abstract

since its inception in 1969, I have reviewed applications of the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST). The applications I discuss here include calculations of NN scattering, 3N bound states, electro- magnetic form factors of few-nucleon systems, and the recent successes in describing the dynamical generation of quark mass and the meson spectrum using a chirially invariant quark-antiquark interaction that includes confinement. Furthermore I will discuss the common origin of the Light Cone technique and the CST, which dates back to the 1970's.

Chiral symmetry and $π$ - $π$ scattering in the Covariant Spectator Theory

Journal Article Biernat, Elmar P. ; Peña, M. T. ; Ribeiro, J. E. ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

The π-π scattering amplitude calculated with a model for the quark-antiquark interaction in the framework of the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) is shown to satisfy the Adler zero constraint imposed by chiral symmetry. The CST formalism is established in Minkowski space and our calculations are performed in momentum space. We prove that the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity is satisfied by our model. Then we show that, similarly to what happens within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, application of the axial-vector Ward Takahashi identity to the CST π-π scattering amplitude allows us to sum the intermediate quark-quark interactions to all orders. Thus, the Adlermore »« less

Hadronic Wavefunctions in Light-cone Quantization [Dissertation]

Technical Report Hyer, Thomas

The analysis of light-cone wavefunctions seems the most promising theoretical approach to a detailed understanding of the structure of relativistic bound states, particularly hadrons. However, there are numerous complications in this approach. Most importantly, the light-cone approach sacrifices manifest rotational invariance in exchange for the elimination of negative-energy states. The requirement of rotational invariance of the full theory places important constraints on proposed light-cone wavefunctions, whether they are modelled or extracted from some numerical procedure. A formulation of the consequences of the hidden rotational symmetry has been sought for some time; it is presented in Chapter 2. In lattice gaugemore »« less

Meson properties in a light-cone quark model

Journal Article Aboud, N A ; Hiller, J R - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (USA)

A potential with three parameters is used in a light-cone equation for a quark-antiquark pair. Spin dependence is not included. The nonrelativistic limit is the potential of the quark model of Eichten {ital et} {ital al}. Numerical methods are used to solve the eigenvalue problem. The parameters and quark masses are varied to obtain a reasonable fit to masses of low-lying hidden-flavor mesons. Additional masses are calculated for higher states and for flavored mesons. Also, properties of the pion are calculated from a wave function obtained with the numerical method. Spectroscopic assignments are problematic because the light-front formulation breaks rotationalmore »« less

String/flux tube duality on the light cone

Journal Article Brower, Richard C ; Tan, C -I ; Thorn, Charles B - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The equivalence of quantum field theory and string theory as exemplified by the AdS/CFT correspondence is explored from the point of view of light cone quantization. On the string side we discuss the light cone version of the static string connecting a heavy external quark source to a heavy external antiquark source, together with small oscillations about the static string configuration. On the field theory side we analyze the weak/strong coupling transition in a ladder diagram model of the quark-antiquark system, also from the point of view of the light cone. Our results are completely consistent with those obtained bymore »« less

Spin and angular momentum in the nucleon

Journal Article Franz Gross, Gilberto Ramalho, Teresa Pena - Physical Review. D, Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology

Using the covariant spectator theory (CST), we present the results of a valence quark-diquark model calculation of the nucleon structure function f(x) measured in unpolarized deep inelastic scattering (DIS), and the structure functions g1(x) and g2(x) measured in DIS using polarized beams and targets. Parameters of the wave functions are adjusted to fit all the data. The fit fixes both the shape of the wave functions and the relative strength of each component. Two solutions are found that fit f(x) and g1(x), but only one of these gives a good description of g2(x). This fit requires the nucleon CST wavemore »« less
