Baryons in Partially-Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory

TL;DR

This paper extends partially-quenched chiral perturbation theory to include baryons and presents one-loop calculations to advance understanding of baryonic interactions within this framework.

Contribution

It introduces the incorporation of baryons into partially-quenched chiral perturbation theory and provides initial one-loop calculations.

Findings

Successful inclusion of baryons in the theoretical framework

Performed one-loop calculations for baryonic processes

Lays groundwork for future phenomenological studies

Abstract

I discuss the inclusion of baryons into partially-quenched chiral perturbation theory and describe one-loop calculations that have been performed.
