J. Bahcall’s challenge:

“... do not see any way at present to determine from experiment or

first principle theoretical calculations a relevant, robust upper limit to

the hep production cross section.” (hep-ex/0002018)

hep: 3He + p ! 4He + e+ + e

Q: Can EFT be a breakthrough ?

What’s wrong with the hep ?

1. Pseudo-orthogonality :

|4He' | = |S4:most symmetric |3He + p ' | = | S31:next-to-most symmetric

S4 | gA i i i | S31=0. : (Gamow-Teller)

h1B-LOi is difficult to evaluate : We need realistic (not schematic) wave functions.

h1B-LOi is small : h1B-LOi » hMEC (N3LO)i Meson-exchange current (MEC) plays an essential role.

2. MEC is highly model-dependent, hsoft 1-exchangei =0 (Ã a generic feature of GT operator).

MEC in EFT (Heavy-baryon ChPT)

• MEC= N2LO+N3LO + (N2LO=0 for GT),• N3LO= (hard 1-exchange) + (r) ( ij

– Long-range part (hard 1-exchange) is well-known.– The value of is not fixed by symmetry, and should be

determined either by QCD or by other experiments.– Once the value of is fixed, no other uncertainty left.

EFTi

• |EFTi is yet to come !– Schematic wave functions are not good.– A few accurate phenomenological wave functions

available.• How we can go further ?

• We are thus forced to look at the possibility to study

M=hfphen| OEFT | i

pheni• Can it work ?

How we do with ?

• Model-dependence cut-off dependence: M()=hf | O() | ii= Mnon-CT () + () hf | (r) | ii .

– Model-dependence resides in short-range, which we explore in terms of .

• Consider another known process which depends on :M0exp M0

non-CT () + () h0f | (r) | 0ii .

This step determines the value of for a given and .– have strong dependence on , but independent of the

details (quantum numbers, A, Z, ...) of the process.

RG-invariance

M()= hf | O() | ii = 0 ?

• O(’) = O() + c0 (r) + c2 r2 (r) + ,

thus equivalent (up to N3LO) to replace ()! (’) = () + c0, which has no effect in matrix

elements.

We will check the RG-inv. numerically.

Model-invariance ?

M(a)= hf(a) | O | i(a)i : a-independent ? (a: model-index)

• Vlow-k: if we limit our model space to k < then all the accurate phenomenological potentials are equivalent. Hlow-k = U(a)

y H(a) U(a) is a-independent, |(a)i = U(a) |low-ki

M(a)= hlow-k | Uy(a) O U(a)| low-ki = hlow-k | O(a) | low-ki

We also expect O(a) = Olow-k() + d0 (r) + d2 r2 (r) + , since the finite range-part is dictated by the chiral symmetry.

Heavy-baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory

1. Pertinent degrees of freedom: pions and nucleons. Others are integrated out. Their effects appear as higher order operators of ’s and N’s.

2. Expansion parameter = Q/

Q : typical momentum scale and/or m,

: mN and/or f

3. Weinberg’s power counting rule for irreducible diagrams.

CT contributions to the currents at N3LO

• g4S : isoscalar M1

– d, spin observables(np! d+, (3He)+(3H), hen,...

• g4V : isovector M1– (np! d+), (3He)-(3H), hen,...

•

– pp, hep, tritium- decay (TBD), -d capture, d scattering, … .

Isoscalar M1 (M1S) in n+p! d+

• Due to pseudo-orthogonality, 1B-LO is highly suppressed, NLO=N2LO=0.

• At N3LO, there appear CT (g4S ) and 1-exchange.

• The value of g4S is determined from the exp. value of d. • Aspects of the actual calculation:

– Argonne v18 wave functions.

– Hardcore regularization, (r) ! (r-rC)/(4 r2), rC» 1/ .– Up to N3LO and up to N4LO.

• No experimerimetal data yet: it can be in principle measured via the spin observables, but requires ultra-high polarizations.

The hen (3He + n 4He + ) process

• Accurate experimental data are available for the hen • The hen process has much in common with hep :

– The leading order 1B contribution is strongly suppressed due to pseudo-orthogonality.

– A cancellation mechanism between 1B and 2B occurs.– Trivial point: both are 4-body processes that involve

3He + N ! 4He.

Q: Can we test our hep prediction by applying the same method to the hen process ?

Discussions• Developed an EFT method which enables us to do a

systematic and consistent EFT calculation on top of accurate but phenomenological wave functions.

• Confirmed the RG-invariance numerically to a very satisfactory degree.

• Also demonstrated the convergence of chiral expansion in the isoscalar M1 channel of the np! d, check for other proceeses are future works.

• For all the cases we have studied, our method works quite well– extremely high accuracy in 2-body processes,– the first accurate & reliable theory prediction for the hep

and hen,– -d (S. Ando etal., PLB555(’03)49), -d (S.Nakamura etal,

Compared to Hybrid model approaches: (Chemtob-Rho type of current-algebra based phenomenological current

operators + phen. wave functions) systematic & consistent expansion scheme full control on the short-range physics ,,,

Compared to Pure EFT approaches: more flexible and more powerful ...

!so, we are calling our method asMore-effective effective field theory (MEEFT)
