Magnetic field dependence of nucleon parameters from QCD sum rules

Abstract

Finite energy QCD sum rules involving nucleon current correlators are used to determine several QCD and hadronic parameters in the presence of an external, uniform, large magnetic field. The continuum hadronic threshold s0s_0, nucleon mass mNm_N, current-nucleon coupling λN\lambda_N, transverse velocity vv_\perp, the spin polarization condensate qˉσ12q\langle\bar q\sigma_{12} q\rangle, and the magnetic susceptibility of the quark condensate χq\chi_q, are obtained for the case of protons and neutrons. Due to the magnetic field, and charge asymmetry of light quarks up and down, all the obtained quantities evolve differently with the magnetic field, for each nucleon or quark flavor. With this approach it is possible to obtain the evolution of the above parameters up to a magnetic field strength eB<1.4eB < 1.4 GeV2^2.
