A dynamical {eta}{prime} - mass from an infrared enhanced gluon exchange
Description:
The pseudo-scalar flavor-singlet meson mixes with two gluons. A dimensional argument by Kogut and Susskind shows that this can screen the Goldstone pole of the chiral limit in this channel, if the gluon correlations are infrared enhanced. Using a gluon propagator as singular as {sigma}/k{sup 4} for k{sup 2} {yields} 0 we relate the screening mass to the string tension {sigma}. In the Written-Veneziano action to describe the {eta}-{eta}{prime} mixing this relation yields masses of about 810MeV f…
