Comments on the Vacuum Orientations in QCD

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

We study the QCD vacuum orientation angles in correlation with the strong CP phases. A vacuum alignment equation of the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is derived based on the anomalous Ward identity. It is emphasized that a chiral rotation of the quark field causes a change of the vacuum orientation and a change in the definition of the light pseudoscalar generators. As an illustration of the idea, \h2\p\h\rightarrow 2\p decays are carefully studied in different chiral frames. Contrary to the claim in Ref.[7], the θ\theta-term does not directly contribute to the CP-violating processes.
