  • Conference paper
Elementary Particle Physics

Part of the book series: Acta Physica Austriaca ((FEWBODY,volume 9/1972))

Abstract

In the context of broken chiral symmetry the sigma commutators, the evaluation of their matrix elements and the significance of the resulting magnitudes are discussed.

Lecture given at XI. Internationale Universitätswochen für Kernphysik, Schladming, February 21—March 4, 1972.

Supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. GP-25203.
