BChPT$\times 1/{\rm N_c}$ in SU(3): a more effective theory

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2019-04-16 v1

Abstract

The chiral and 1/Nc1/N_c expansions are combined in the description of low energy baryons. The combination furnishes a better behaved expansion, consequence of exactly eliminating large terms that violate the 1/Nc1/N_c expansion and which are typical of formulations of BChPT where consistency with the large NcN_c limit is disregarded. The improvements are particularly dramatic in the case of SU(3). The general framework is outlined and applications to the vector charges and axial couplings are presented along with a comparison with Lattice QCD results with three quark flavors.
