Decay Mechanisms in Bound State Interaction Kernels
Decay Mechanisms in Bound State Interaction Kernels is a scholarly work, published in 2018 in ''Acta physica Polonica. B, Proceedings supplement''. The main subjects of the publication include chemistry, state, quantum chromodynamics, quark–gluon plasma, computer science, and particle physics. The authors present progress on the study of decay-channel effects in the properties of hadrons using covariant Bethe-Salpeter equations (BSEs).The main goal will be to develop BSE kernels that contain explicit decay mechanisms.This will be first explored in the meson sector where, for example, a kernel suitable to study the rho meson should contain a virtual → + decay mechanism.This will be tackled by including explicit pion degrees of freedom in addition to quarks and gluons.
