In particle physics, Yukawa's interaction, named after Hideki Yukawa, is an interaction between a scalar field ϕ and a Dirac field ψ of the type : (scalar) or (pseudoscalar). The Yukawa interaction can be used to describe the nuclear force between nucleons (which are fermions), mediated by pions (which are pseudoscalar mesons). The Yukawa interaction is also used in the Standard Model to describe the coupling between the Higgs field and massless quark and lepton fields (i.e., the fundamental fermion particles). Through spontaneous symmetry breaking, these fermions acquire a mass proportional to the vacuum expectation value of the Higgs field. ==The action== The action for a meson field φ interacting with a Dirac baryon field ψ is : where the integration is performed over ''d'' dimensions (typically 4 for four-dimensional spacetime). The meson Lagrangian is given by : Here, is a self-interaction term. For a free-field massive meson, one would have where is the mass for the meson. For a (renormalizable, polynomial) self-interacting field, one will have where λ is a coupling constant. This potential is explored in detail in the article on the quartic interaction. The free-field Dirac Lagrangian is given by : where ''m'' is the positive, real mass of the fermion. The Yukawa interaction term is : where ''g'' is the (real) coupling constant for scalar mesons and : for pseudoscalar mesons. Putting it all together one can write the above more explicitly as : 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yukawa interaction」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
