Expanding the concept of in-hadron condensates

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: The in-pseudoscalar-meson condensate can be represented through the pseudoscalar meson's scalar form factor at zero-momentum transfer. With the aid of a mass formula for scalar mesons, revealed herein, the analog is shown to be true for in-scalar-meson condensates. The concept is readily extended to all hadrons so that, via the zero-momentum-transfer value of any hadron's scalar form factor, one can readily extract the value for a quark condensate in that hadron which is a measure of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking.
