Light baryon static properties in dispersive approach

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2026-03-18 v1

Abstract

We extend our dispersive analyses on meson static properties to those of light baryons. The formalism treats the dispersion relation, which a baryonic correlation function obeys, as an inverse problem, solve for the involved spectral density with available operator-product-expansion (OPE) inputs directly, and extract baryon static properties from the spectral density. We observe that the simultaneous implementation of the chiral-even and chiral-odd dispersive constraints unambiguously determines baryon masses and pole residues. A common set of quark and gluon condensates, which appear in OPE factorization and are universal, is found to accommodate the masses of a ρ\rho meson, a proton and a Δ(1232)\Delta(1232) baryon. The advantage of our approach over the conventional handling of QCD sum rules is advocated. This work encourages broad applications of our nonperturbative analytical method to baryon systems.
