Hadron Masses in Strong Magnetic Fields

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-08-04 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

Hadron masses under strong magnetic fields are studied. In the presence of strong magnetic fields exceeding the QCD energy scale eBΛQCD2 eB \gg \Lambda^2_{\rm QCD} , SU(3)flavorSU(2)spin{\rm SU(3)}_{\rm flavor} \otimes {\rm SU(2)}_{\rm spin} symmetry of hadrons is explicitly broken so that the quark components of hadrons differ from those with zero or weak magnetic fields eBΛQCD2 eB \lesssim \Lambda^2_{\rm QCD} . Also, squeezing of hadrons by strong magnetic fields affects the hadron mass spectrum. We develop a quark model which appropriately incorporates these features and analytically calculate various hadron masses including mesons, baryons and those with strangeness.
