The status of the strong coupling from tau decays in 2016
Diogo Boito, Maarten Golterman, Kim Maltman +1
While the idea of using the operator product expansion (OPE) to extract the strong coupling from hadronic decay data is not new, there is an ongoing controversy over how to inc…
in 2016 from the (revised) ALEPH data for decay
Diogo Boito, Maarten Golterman, Kim Maltman +1
We summarize a comparison of the two strategies which are currently available in the literature for determining the value of . We will refer to these as the truncated Ope…
Effective pion mass term and the trace anomaly
Maarten Golterman, Yigal Shamir
Recently, we developed an effective theory of pions and a light dilatonic meson for gauge theories with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry that are close to the conformal window.…
The strong coupling from hadronic decays: a critical appraisal
Diogo Boito, Maarten Golterman, Kim Maltman +1
Several different analysis methods have been developed to determine the strong coupling via finite-energy sum-rule analyses of hadronic decay data. While most methods agree on…
Radiative contribution to the effective potential in a composite Higgs model
T. A. DeGrand, M. Golterman, W. I. Jay +3
The SU(4) gauge theory with two flavors of Dirac fermions in the sextet representation shares features of a candidate for a composite Higgs model. The analogue of the Higgs multipl…
Effective field theory for pions and a dilatonic meson
Maarten Golterman, Yigal Shamir
Numerical simulations of QCD-like theories which are chirally broken but exhibit a very small beta function reveal a flavor-singlet scalar, or "dilatonic meson," which is much ligh…
