Decay constants of the pion and B mesons with the Bethe-Salpeter equation

Abstract

In this article, we investigate the under-structures of the $\pi$ and B mesons in the framework of the Bethe-Salpeter equation with the bare quark-gluon vertex, bare quark propagator and the confining effective potential (infrared modified flat bottom potential) firstly. Although the bare quark propagator can not embody dynamical chiral symmetry breaking and has a mass pole in the time-like region, it can give reasonable results for the values of decay constants $f_{\pi }$ and $f_B$ compared with the values of experimental data and other theoretical calculations, such as lattice simulations and QCD sum rules. Secondly, we explore those mesons within the framework of the coupled rain-bow Schwinger-Dyson equation and ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation. The Schwinger-Dyson functions for the $u$ and $d$ quarks are greatly renormalized at small momentum region and the curves are steep which indicates an explicitly dynamical symmetry breaking. The Euclidean time fourier transformed quark propagator has no mass poles in the time-like region which naturally implements confinement. As for the $b$ quark, the current mass is very large, the renormalization is more tender, however, mass pole in the time-like region is also absent. The Bethe-Salpeter wavefunctions for both the $\pi$ and B mesons have the same type (Gaussian type) momentum dependence as the corresponding wavefunctions with the bare quark propagator, however, the quantitative values are changed and the values for the decay constants $f_{\pi }$ and $f_B$ are changed correspondingly.
