Chiral symmetry breaking beyond BCS and theorem on the width of scalars

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We review chiral symmetry breaking at the BCS level, in the framework of chiral invariant quark models and in the Schwinger-Dyson formalism. We revisit the pi mass problem beyond the BCS level. We show a theorem on the masses, on the widths and on the q qbar content of the scalar mesons sigma and f0.
