Chiral Lagrangians for Baryons coupled to massive Spin-1 Fields

arXiv:hep-ph/9511320 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X96002376

Abstract

We analyze the effective low--energy field theory of Goldstone bosons and baryons chirally coupled to massive spin--1 fields. We use the electromagnetic baryon form factors to demonstrate the formal equivalence between the vector and the tensor field formulation for the spin--1 fields. We also discuss the origin of the so--called Weinberg term in pion--nucleon scattering and the role of --meson exchange. Chirally coupled vector mesons do not give rise to this two--pion nucleon seagull interaction but rather to higher order corrections. Some problems of the formal equivalence arising in higher orders and related to loops are touched upon.
