Quarks, quaternions and weakly coupled gauge fields

Кварки, кватернионы и слабо связанные калибровочные поля

Il Nuovo Cimento A (1965-1970)

Summary

Using the ring of complex quaternions, the more active view of weakly coupled gauge fields is formulated in such a way that, in theSU 2×U 1 model of Salam, Ward and Weinberg, for example, ΔS≠0, ΔQ=0 effects are properly suppressed without the appearance of a new quark field in the Lagrangian—only p, n and λ quark fields appear. Here,S is the strangeness andQ is the electric charge. The success of the more active view of theSU 2×U 1 model in describing\(\Gamma \left( {{\rm K}_L \to \bar \mu \mu } \right)/\left( {\left( {m_{K_L } - m_{Ks} } \right)/m_K } \right)\)% MathType!End!2!1!, charmed particles,\(\psi /J,\psi ',\Upsilon ,\Upsilon '\)% MathType!End!2!1!, etc., in terms of p, n and λ quarks is not disturbed by this new formulation. Here,m K=(m KL+m Ks)/2 andm a is the mass of a.

Rissunto

Usando l'anello dei quaternioni complessi, si descrive l'aspetto più attivo dei campi di gauge accoppiati debolmente in maniera tale che nel modelloSU 2×U 1 di Salam, Ward e Weinberg, per esempio, gli effetti ΔS≠0 e ΔQ=0 siano propriamente soppressi senza la comparsa di un nuovo campo di quark nella lagrangiana—solamente i campi dei quark p, n e λ compaiono.S è la stranezza eQ è la carica elettrica. Il successo dell'aspetto più attivo del modelloSU 2×U 1 nella descrizione di\(\Gamma \left( {{\rm K}_L \to \bar \mu \mu } \right)/\left( {\left( {m_{K_L } - m_{Ks} } \right)/m_K } \right)\)% MathType!End!2!1!, delle particelle incantate,\(\psi /J,\psi ',\Upsilon ,\Upsilon '\)% MathType!End!2!1! ecc., in termini dei quark p, n e λ non è disturbato da questa nuova formulazione. In questo lavorom K=(m KL+m Ks)/2 em a è la massa di a.

Резюме

Используя кольцо комплексных кватернионов, формулирется подход к слабо связанным калибровочным поям. Причем, в этом подходе в рамках моделиSU 2×U 2 Салама, Уорда и Вейнберга подавляются, например, эффекты ΔS≠0, ΔQ=0 без появления нового кваркового поля в Лагранжиане —используются только поля р, н и л кварков. ЗдесьS есть странность, аQ—электрический заряд. Предложенный подход в рамках моделиSU 2×U 1 позволяет успешно описать\(\Gamma \left( {{\rm K}_L \to \bar \mu \mu } \right)/\left( {\left( {m_{K_L } - m_{Ks} } \right)/m_K } \right)\)% MathType!End!2!1!, очарованные частицы,\(\psi /J,\psi ',\Upsilon ,\Upsilon '\)% MathType!End!2!1! и т. д. в терминах р, н и λ кварков. Здесьm K=(m KL+m Ks)/2 иm a есть масса частицы а.
