Abstract:
The quark-loop contribution to the mixing self-energy function is calculated using a phenomenologically successful QCD-based model field theory in which the and mesons are composite bound states. In this calculation the dressed quark propagator, obtained from a model Dyson-Schwinger equation, is confining. In contrast to previous studies, the meson- vertex functions are characterised by a strength and range determined by the dynamics of the model; and the calculated off-mass-shell behaviour of the mixing amplitude includes the contribution from the calculated diagonal meson self-energies. The mixing amplitude is shown to be very sensitive to the small isovector component of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. The spacelike quark-loop mixing-amplitude generates an insignificant charge symmetry breaking nuclear force.References(23)
