The Σ 0 − Λ mixing angle in isospin-asymmetric nuclear medium is investigated by using QCD sum rules. From the general consideration of the inmedium baryonic correlations, in-medium baryon mixings are shown to have several Lorentz structures such as the scalar mixing angle θ S and the vector mixing angle θ V . This causes a difference between the particle mixing θ (= θ S +θ V ) and the anti-particle mixing θ (= θ S − θ V ). From the finite energy sum rules for the Σ 0 − Λ mixing, we find that the in-medium part of the mixing angle has a relation θ S Med ∼ −θ V Med in the isospin-asymmetric medium. This implies that the medium affects mainly the anti-particle mixing. From the Borel sum rules, we obtain | θ − θ 0 | ≃ 0.39 |(ρ n − ρ p )|/ρ 0 with θ 0 , ρ n , ρ p and ρ 0 being the vacuum mixing angle, the neutron density, the proton density and the normal nuclear matter density respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
