2 QCD’s Challenges  Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking Very unnatural pattern of bound state masses; e.g., Lagrangian (pQCD) quark mass is small but... no degeneracy between J P =+ and J P =− (parity partners)  Neither of these phenomena is apparent in QCD’s Lagrangian Yet they are the dominant determining characteristics of real-world QCD.  Both will be important herein  QCD QCD – Complex behaviour arises from apparently simple rules. Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 2  Quark and Gluon Confinement No matter how hard one strikes the proton, one cannot liberate an individual quark or gluon Understand emergent phenomena

3 Universal Truths SSpectrum of hadrons (ground, excited and exotic states), and hadron elastic and transition form factors provide unique information about long-range interaction between light-quarks and distribution of hadron's characterising properties amongst its QCD constituents. DDynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking (DCSB) is most important mass generating mechanism for visible matter in the Universe. Higgs mechanism is ( almost ) irrelevant to light-quarks. RRunning of quark mass entails that calculations at even modest Q 2 require a Poincaré-covariant approach. Covariance requires existence of quark orbital angular momentum in hadron's rest-frame wave function. CConfinement is expressed through a violent change of the propagators for coloured particles & can almost be read from a plot of a states’ dressed-propagator. It is intimately connected with DCSB. Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 3

4 Dyson-Schwinger Equations  Well suited to Relativistic Quantum Field Theory  Simplest level: Generating Tool for Perturbation Theory... Materially Reduces Model- Dependence … Statement about long-range behaviour of quark-quark interaction  NonPerturbative, Continuum approach to QCD  Hadrons as Composites of Quarks and Gluons  Qualitative and Quantitative Importance of:  Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking – Generation of fermion mass from nothing  Quark & Gluon Confinement – Coloured objects not detected, Not detectable? Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 4  Approach yields Schwinger functions; i.e., propagators and vertices  Cross-Sections built from Schwinger Functions  Hence, method connects observables with long- range behaviour of the running coupling  Experiment ↔ Theory comparison leads to an understanding of long- range behaviour of strong running-coupling

5 Confinement  Quark and Gluon Confinement –No matter how hard one strikes the proton, or any other hadron, one cannot liberate an individual quark or gluon  Empirical fact. However –There is no agreed, theoretical definition of light-quark confinement –Static-quark confinement is irrelevant to real-world QCD There are no long-lived, very-massive quarks  Confinement entails quark-hadron duality; i.e., that all observable consequences of QCD can, in principle, be computed using an hadronic basis. Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 5 X

6 Confinement  Confinement is expressed through a violent change in the analytic structure of propagators for coloured particles & can almost be read from a plot of a states’ dressed-propagator –Gribov (1978); Munczek (1983); Stingl (1984); Cahill (1989); Krein, Roberts & Williams (1992); … Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking.

7 Dressed-gluon propagator  Gluon propagator satisfies a Dyson-Schwinger Equation  Plausible possibilities for the solution  DSE and lattice-QCD agree on the result –Confined gluon –IR-massive but UV-massless –m G ≈ 2-4 Λ QCD Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking.

9 With QCD’s dressed-gluon propagator  What is the dressed-quark mass function? Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 9

10 Frontiers of Nuclear Science: Theoretical Advances In QCD a quark's effective mass depends on its momentum. The function describing this can be calculated and is depicted here. Numerical simulations of lattice QCD (data, at two different bare masses) have confirmed model predictions (solid curves) that the vast bulk of the constituent mass of a light quark comes from a cloud of gluons that are dragged along by the quark as it propagates. In this way, a quark that appears to be absolutely massless at high energies (m =0, red curve) acquires a large constituent mass at low energies.

14 Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking SStrong-interaction: Q CD CConfinement –E–Empirical fact –M–Modern theory and lattice-QCD support conjecture that light-quark confinement is real associated with violation of reflection positivity; i.e., novel analytic structure for propagators and vertices –S–Still circumstantial, no proof yet of confinement OOn the other hand, DCSB is a fact in QCD –I–It is the most important mass generating mechanism for visible matter in the Universe. Responsible for approximately 98% of the proton’s mass. Higgs mechanism is ( almost ) irrelevant to light-quarks. Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 14

15 Strong-interaction: QCD  Gluons and quarks acquire momentum-dependent masses –characterised by an infrared mass-scale m ≈ 2-4 Λ QCD  Significant body of work, stretching back to 1980, which shows that, in the presence of DCSB, the dressed-fermion-photon vertex is materially altered from the bare form: γ μ. –Obvious, because with A(p 2 ) ≠ 1 and B(p 2 ) ≠ constant, the bare vertex cannot satisfy the Ward-Takahashi identity; viz.,  Number of contributors is too numerous to list completely (300 citations to 1 st J.S. Ball paper), but prominent contributions by: J.S. Ball, C.J. Burden, C.D. Roberts, R. Delbourgo, A.G. Williams, H.J. Munczek, M.R. Pennington, A. Bashir, A. Kizilersu, L. Chang, Y.-X. Liu … Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 15 Dressed-quark-gluon vertex

16  Single most important feature –Perturbative vertex is helicity-conserving: Cannot cause spin-flip transitions –However, DCSB introduces nonperturbatively generated structures that very strongly break helicity conservation –These contributions Are large when the dressed-quark mass-function is large –Therefore vanish in the ultraviolet; i.e., on the perturbative domain –Exact form of the contributions is still the subject of debate but their existence is model-independent - a fact. Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 16

17 Gap Equation General Form  D μν (k) – dressed-gluon propagator  good deal of information available  Γ ν (q,p) – dressed-quark-gluon vertex  Information accumulating  Straightforward to insert Ansatz for Γ ν (q,p) into gap equation & from the solution obtain values for –in-pion condensate –estimate of pion’s leptonic decay constant  However, there’s a little more than that to hadron physics Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 17 Many are still doing only this

18 Gap Equation General Form  D μν (k) – dressed-gluon propagator  Γ ν (q,p) – dressed-quark-gluon vertex  Until 2009, all studies of other hadron phenomena used the leading-order term in a symmetry-preserving truncation scheme; viz., –D μν (k) = dressed, as described previously –Γ ν (q,p) = γ μ … plainly, key nonperturbative effects are missed and cannot be recovered through any step-by-step improvement procedure Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking.

19 Gap Equation General Form  D μν (k) – dressed-gluon propagator  good deal of information available  Γ ν (q,p) – dressed-quark-gluon vertex  Information accumulating  Suppose one has in hand – from anywhere – the exact form of the dressed-quark-gluon vertex What is the associated symmetry- preserving Bethe-Salpeter kernel?! Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 19 If kernels of Bethe-Salpeter and gap equations don’t match, one won’t even get right charge for the pion.

Correct Blocked progress for more than 60 years. Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking. JLab 16 May 2011 - Nucleon Resonance Structure with the CLAS12 Detector - 41pgs 20

21 Bethe-Salpeter Equation General Form  Equivalent exact bound-state equation but in this form K(q,k;P) → Λ(q,k;P) which is completely determined by dressed-quark self-energy  Enables derivation of a Ward-Takahashi identity for Λ(q,k;P) Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking.

22 Ward-Takahashi Identity Bethe-Salpeter Kernel  Now, for first time, it’s possible to formulate an Ansatz for Bethe-Salpeter kernel given any form for the dressed-quark-gluon vertex by using this identity  This enables the identification and elucidation of a wide range of novel consequences of DCSB Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking.

28 DSEs and Baryons  Dynamical chiral symmetry breaking (DCSB) – has enormous impact on meson properties.  Must be included in description and prediction of baryon properties.  DCSB is essentially a quantum field theoretical effect. In quantum field theory  Meson appears as pole in four-point quark-antiquark Green function → Bethe-Salpeter Equation  Nucleon appears as a pole in a six-point quark Green function → Faddeev Equation.  Poincaré covariant Faddeev equation sums all possible exchanges and interactions that can take place between three dressed-quarks  Tractable equation is based on observation that an interaction which describes colour-singlet mesons also generates nonpointlike quark-quark (diquark) correlations in the colour-antitriplet channel Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking.

Cloët, C.D. Roberts, et al. In progress

32 Unification of Meson & Baryon Spectra  Correlate the masses of meson and baryon ground- and excited-states within a single, symmetry-preserving framework  Symmetry-preserving means: Poincaré-covariant & satisfy relevant Ward-Takahashi identities  Constituent-quark model has hitherto been the most widely applied spectroscopic tool; and whilst its weaknesses are emphasized by critics and acknowledged by proponents, it is of continuing value because there is nothing better that is yet providing a bigger picture.  Nevertheless,  no connection with quantum field theory & certainly not with QCD  not symmetry-preserving & therefore cannot veraciously connect meson and baryon properties Craig Roberts: Observing Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking.
