Baryon $\sigma$ terms in SU(3) BChPT x 1/N c

ChPT and the 1/N c expansion provide systematic frameworks for the strong interactions at low energy. A combined framework of both expansions has been developed and applied for baryons with three light-quark-flavors. The small scale expansion of the combined approach is identified as the ξ-expansion, in which the power counting of the expansions is linked according to O(p) = O(1/N c ) = O(ξ). The physical baryon masses as well as lattice QCD baryon masses for different quark mass masses are analyzed to O(ξ 3 ) in that framework. σ terms are addressed using the Feynman Hellmann theorem. For the nucleon, a useful connection between the deviation of the Gell-Mann-Okubo relation and the σ term σ 8N associated with the scalar density $\bar{u}u+\bar{d}d-2\bar{s}s$ is identified. In particular, the deviation from the tree level relation σ 8N = $\frac{1}{3}$(2m N -m Σ -m Ξ ), which gives rise to the so called σ-term puzzle, is studied in the ξ-expansion. A large correction non-analytic in ξ results for that relation, making plausible the resolution of the puzzle. Issues with the determination of the strangeness σ terms are discussed, emphasizing the need for lattice calculations at smaller m s for better understanding the range of validity of the effective theory. The analysis presented here leads to σ πN = 69(10) MeV and σ πΔ = 60(10) MeV.

CRISPRt data studying the physiological role of an Acinetobacter-specific sigma factor

Here, we show that SigAb is a metal stress-responsive ECF that appears unique to Acinetobacter species and distinct from RpoE. We combine promoter mutagenesis, motif scanning, and ChIP-seq to define the direct SigAb regulon, which consists of sigAb itself, the stringent response mediator, relA, and the uncharacterized small RNA, "sabS."
