CALCULATION OF THE FOUR-QUARK CONDENSATES IN THE QCD MOTIVATED EXTENDED NAMBU-JONA-LASINIO MODEL 1
The four-quark condensates appearing in QCD sum rule are calculated nonperturbatively in a realistic QCD motivated extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. The calculation is in the framework of the effective potential for local composite operators up to next-to-the-leading order in the 1/N expansion in which the non-factorized parts of the condensates are included. We show in this paper the possibility of explaining the phenomenological enhancement factor κ = 2.4 , needed for fitting the data in the factorization approximation, as the contribution of the non-factorized parts of the fourquark condensates.

The two-quark condensate breaks the chiral symmetry which explains the lightness of the low lying 0 mesons, while all condensates are relevant to the well-known QCD sum rule [1]. QCD sum rule incorporates the quark and gluon condensates with perturbative QCD calculations. For example, in the study of the sum rule for mesons, the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of two current operators < Tj(x)j(0) > is considered, and the operator product expansion (OPE) gives i ∫ dx e < Tj(x)j(0) >= ∑ n C n (q) < On > , (1) where C n (q) ’s are perturbatively calculable Wilson coefficients and < On > ’s are various nonperturbative vacuum condensates. In practical applications, on the RHS of (1), only C n (q) ’s are calculated from perturbative QCD while the condensates < On > ’s are left as free parameters determined by experimental inputs. To reduce the number of free parameters, people often make the simple factorization approximation to express the four-quark condensate in terms of the two-quark condensate, i.e. < ψ̄Γψψ̄Γψ >≈ FΓ < ψ̄ψ > , (2) where the Lorentz structure of Γ is 1 for scalar (S), iγ5 for pseudoscalar (P), γμ for vector (V), γ5γμ for axial-vector (A), σμν for tensor (T) (for color and flavor non-singlet, the color and flavor group generators λα/2 , ti should also be included ), and FΓ is a constant depending on the structure of Γ and can be easily calculated [1]. However, applications of QCD sum rule to various hadronic processes with the approximation (2), e.g. the sum rules for baryons [2] ρ-meson [3] and pseudoscalar meson [4], show that the theoretical results are not quite good and phenomenologically the FΓ < ψ̄ψ > 2 term should be enlarged by a factor κ ≈ 3.6 for fitting the data [2][3][4]. Further study of the perturbative QCD corrections to the Wilson coefficient of the operator (ψ̄Γψ)2 shows that the O(αs) correction increases the Wilson coefficient by a factor of 1.5 [5] which means that the enhancement factor should actually be κ ≈ 2.4 . So far there is no theoretical explanation of the enhancement factor κ ≈ 2.4 . A possible and natural conjecture is that the need for an enhancement factor might be due to the neglect of the nonfactorized part of the four-quark condensate < ψ̄Γψψ̄Γψ >NF in (2), but this is difficult to prove from the first principles of QCD. Several attempts have been made to discuss this problem. A careful calculation of the anomalous dimensions of the four-quark operators shows that the deviation from (2) 2 varies significantly with the renormalization scale, i.e. even if (2) is good at low energy it may fail at some high energy scale [6]. In Ref.[7], a general formalism of the effective potential for local composite operators in the framework of 1/N expansion was developed and was applied to calculate the fourfermion condensate < ψ̄ψψ̄ψ > nonperturbatively in the Gross-Neveu model. It is shown that (2) holds only in the N → ∞ limit, i.e. < ψ̄ψψ̄ψ >NF is nonvanishing to order-1/N . Up to order1/N , for N = 3 , the numerical result shows that the ratio R ≡< ψ̄ψψ̄ψ >NF /[FS < ψ̄ψ >2] runs rapidly with the renormalization scale, and the minimal value of R is about 1/3 . This means that (2) is not a good approximation even at low energy. However, the Gross-Neveu model is a toy model which can not predict the value of κ to compare with the experiment. In recent years, there have been several papers studying QCD motivated Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) models as effective theories for low lying hadrons[8]. These models lead to quite successful phenomenological predictions, especially the extended Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (ENJL) model in Ref. [8], so that they may reflect some main features of nonperturbative QCD. Since the NJL model is a four-fermion interaction theory similar to the GrossNeveu model, the method developed in Ref.[7] can be directly applied to it. In this paper, we take the EJNL model of Ref.[8] and calculate the four-quark condensates appearing in the QCD sum rule nonperturbatively by using the method of Ref.[7]. The four-quark condensates are generally related to the sum rule in the form ∑ Γ C 6 < ψ̄Γψψ̄Γψ > (cf. (1)). Once the condensates < ψ̄ψ > and < ψ̄Γψψ̄Γψ > are calculated, the enhancement factor κ can be obtained from

Derivation of the Gasser-Leutwyler Lagrangian from QCD
The normal part of the Gasser-Leutwyler formulation of the chiral Lagrangian is formally derived from the first principles of QCD without taking approximations. All the coefficients are expressed in terms of certain Green's functions in QCD, which can be regarded as the general QCD definitions of the normal part of the coefficients. The approximate values of the coefficients are also presented.

Dynamical breakdown of supersymmetry and chiral symmetry in 1+1 dimensions
Dynamical breakdown of supersymmetry and chiral symmetry is studied through a 1+1 dimensional field theoretical model in the large-N limit in 1/N expansion. The study is based on the calculation of bilinear field condensates in an effective potential approach. It is shown that the condition for supersymmetry breaking is related to the values of the parameters in the model and chiral symmetry breaking exists in most cases.

AN IMPROVED EFFECTIVE POTENTIAL APPROACH TO DYNAMICAL SYMMETRY BREAKING
We have developed, in this paper, a method for evaluating effective potential for local composite fields based on loop expansion by first renormalizing the generating functional of connected Green's functions and then making the Legendre transformation. A consistency condition reflecting the fact that no condensate effect occurs at tree level is proposed, which plays an important role in this method. The method is illustrated through the Gross-Neveu model. This method can be applied to a wider class of models than can the auxiliary field method.

Longitudinal/Goldstone boson equivalence and phenomenology of probing the electroweak symmetry breaking
We formulate the equivalence between the longitudinal weak-boson and the Goldstone boson as a criterion for sensitively probing the electroweak symmetry breaking mechanism and develop a precise power counting rule for chiral Lagrangian formulated electroweak theories. With these we semi-quatitatively analyze the sensitivities to various effective operators related to electrowaeak symmetry breaking via weak-boson scatterings at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

A compact beam stop for a rare kaon decay experiment
Abstract We describe the development and testing of a novel beam stop for use in a rare kaon decay experiment at the Brookhaven Alternating Gradient Synchrotron. The beam stop is located inside a dipole spectrometer magnet in close proximity to straw drift chambers and intercepts a high-intensity neutral hadron beam. The design process, involving both Monte Carlo simulations and beam tests of alternative beam-stop shielding arrangements, had the goal of minimizing the leakage of particles from the beam stop and the resulting hit rates in detectors, while preserving maximum acceptance for events of interest. The beam tests consisted of measurements of rates in drift chambers, scintillation counter hodoscopes, a gas threshold Cherenkov counter, and a lead glass array. Measurements were also made with a set of specialized detectors which were sensitive to low-energy neutrons, photons, and charged particles. Comparisons are made between these measurements and a detailed Monte Carlo simulation.

First observation of the rare decay mode K0(L) ---> e+ e-
In an experiment designed to search for and study very rare two-body decay modes of the K-long, we have observed four examples of the decay K-long -> e+ e-, where the expected background is 0.17+-0.10 events. This observation translates into a branching fraction of 8.7^{+5.7}_{-4.1} X 10^{-12}, consistent with recent theoretical predictions. This result represents by far the smallest branching fraction yet measured in particle physics.
