Isospin breaking from diquark clustering

Abstract

Although SU(2) isospin symmetry is generally assumed in the basic theory of the strong interaction, a number of significant violations have been observed in scattering and bound states of nucleons. Many of these violations can be attributed to the electromagnetic interaction but the question of how much of the violation is due to it remains open. A schematic model based on clustering of quarks in the interior of the confinement region of the two-nucleon system is introduced and evaluated. In this model the Coulomb interaction is the source of all isospin breaking. It draws on a picture of the quark density based on the diquark-quark model of hadron structure which has been investigated by a number of groups. The model produces three isospin breaking potentials connecting This illustrative model suggests that the breaking seen in the low-energy NN interaction may be understood in terms of the Coulomb force between members of diquark clusters. It allows the prediction of the charge symmetry breaking interaction and the $nn$ scattering length from the well measured $np$ singlet scattering length. Values of the $nn$ scattering length around $-18$ fm are favored. Since the model is based on the quark picture, it can be easily extended, in the SU(3) limit, to calculate isospin breaking in the strange sector in the corresponding channels. A natural consequence of isospin breaking from diquark clustering is that the breaking in the strange sector, as measured by the separation energy difference between ${}_{\Lambda }^4$H and ${}_{\Lambda }^4$He, is several times larger than that seen in the comparison of three-nucleon mirror nuclei as observed experimentally.
