Consistent interactions for high-spin fermion fields

Abstract: We address the issue of consistent interactions for off-shell fermion fields of arbitrary spin. These interactions play a crucial role in the quantum hadrodynamical description of high-spin baryon resonances in hadronic processes. The Rarita-Schwinger description of high-spin fermion fields involves unphysical degrees of freedom, associated with their lower-spin content. These enter the interaction if not eliminated outright. The invariance condition of the interaction under the unconstrained Rarita-Schwinger … Show more

“…Our formalism makes use of the recently suggested consistent couplings for resonances with J = 3/2 and J = 5/2 [18]. This means that all spurious degrees of freedom due to the lower-spin components are removed from the J ≥ 3/2 propagators.…”

“…In addition, the couplings of all resonances with J ≥ 3/2 can be described by a mere two parameters. A spin-dependent multidipoleGauss hadronic form factor (FF) [18] is employed to regularize the resonance contributions beyond the N * pole ( √ s > M N * ). In order to minimize the number of parameters, we adopt one common cut-off value for the hadronic FF for all N * s.…”

“…In the consistent theory, the interaction vertices are transverse, which leads to removal of all non physical contributions. This formalism was generalized to arbitrary high spin by the Ghent group [15] and is exploited in this work. The gauge invariance of the interaction leads to a relatively strong momentum dependence of the amplitude, which increases with rising spin of the RS field and regularizes the amplitude.…”
