Abstract: (APS)
We thoroughly analyze isospin-violating effects in QCD sum rules for the masses of nucleons, Σ, and Ξ hyperons. After comparing with experimental mass splittings in isotopic multiplets, we obtain for the isospin breaking in the quark condensate 〈0|u¯u−d¯d|0〉〈0|u¯u|0〉=(2±1)×10−3, a value significantly smaller than the one usually adopted. We present arguments in favor of our result and critically analyze previous estimates. The value of the quark mass difference md−mu=3.0±1.0 MeV (at normalization point μ¯=0.5 GeV) is also determined.- quantum chromodynamics: sum rule
