Heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory and reparametrization invariance

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

We examine the constraints imposed by reparametrization invariance on heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). We study the case of 3 flavors and consider both the strong and weak (ΔS=1|\Delta S| =1) interaction sector. Some of the parameters in the HBChPT Lagrangian are fixed as a consequence of reparametrization invariance. We discuss the consequences for the calculation of hyperon weak radiative decays in HBChPT.
