Theory Seminar: January 27th, 1pm EST (hybrid)

Speaker: Ignacio Castelli (Temple University)

Title: Unraveling the Axial Anomaly: Its Role in the ‘Spin Crisis’ and the ‘UA(1) Problem’

Abstract: In the Standard Model of particle physics, the axial current is not conserved, due to both fermion masses and the axial anomaly. In the late 1980s, it was proposed that the axial anomaly could help one understand the results of the European Muon Collaboration (EMC) measurements that led to the nucleon spin crisis. Recent work has taken a fresh look at the role of the axial anomaly in polarized deep inelastic scattering and extended the discussion to deeply virtual Compton scattering. Important aspects of those works include the apparent connection between the UA(1) problem and “anomaly pole,” as well as the dependence of pertinent perturbative results on the infrared regulator. I will discuss these and related topics, and our understanding of the current status of the field.

See you on Monday.

Best regards,

Joe, Zheng-Yang, and Gloria
