Study for the elementarity of composite systems

ORAL

Abstract

Recently, the hadronic composite states have been studied extensively in the context of the dynamically generated states. The question of ``elementarity'' has been studied by using the wave function renormalization constant $Z$ [1, 2]. The attempts have been made not only for bound states but also for resonant states [3--5]. In this talk, we show that the renormalization constant $Z$ can be zero for any composite state dynamically generated by a Weinberg-Tomozawa type interaction. We discuss the underlying mechanism of $Z=0$ for composite systems and how we should employ the renormalization constant $Z$ to understand the nature of hadrons [6]. We also discuss a special case of the zero-energy bound state. We show that the meaning of the condition $Z=0$ for a barely bound system can be different from that of finite binding energy or resonant case. \\[4pt] [1] S.
