Scalar-Meson - Baryon Coupling Constants in QCD Sum Rules

Abstract

The external-field QCD Sum Rules method is used to evaluate the coupling constants of the light-isoscalar scalar meson (``σ'' or ε) to the , , and baryons. It is shown that these coupling constants as calculated from QCD Sum Rules are consistent with SU(3)-flavor relations, which leads to a determination of the F/(F+D) ratio of the scalar octet assuming ideal mixing: we find αs F/(F+D)=0.55. The coupling constants with SU(3) breaking effects are also discussed.
