SUMMARY

The currently accepted value for the gluon condensate is expressed in natural units as (300 MeV)4. There is a notable discrepancy between this value and the SVZ (Shifman-Vainshtein-Zakharov) value, although specific experimental data remains scarce. Recent discussions point to resources such as Marco Frasca's blog for potentially updated calculations and insights on the gluon condensate. The challenge lies in converting the value from natural units to SI units, particularly in terms of Planck's constant (h) and the speed of light (c).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum chromodynamics (QCD)
  • Familiarity with gluon condensate concepts
  • Knowledge of natural units in particle physics
  • Basic skills in unit conversion, particularly involving h and c
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the latest experimental methods for measuring gluon condensate values
  • Explore the implications of gluon condensate on QCD and particle physics
  • Learn about the conversion of natural units to SI units in physics
  • Investigate the historical context and significance of the SVZ value in theoretical physics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, researchers in quantum chromodynamics, and students studying particle physics who seek to understand the gluon condensate and its implications in theoretical frameworks.

What is the currently accepted value for the gluon condensate? How much different is from SVZ value? I would appreciate any reference, mostly from experiments.

The last calculation of the gluon condensate I've seen is pretty old: http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0954-3899/20/6/001" , and is also not from experiment. I was under the impression that no such experiments existed yet though.

http://marcofrasca.wordpress.com/2009/03/30/gluon-condensate/" may have something more current though.

Can anybody tell me what is the form and value of the Gluon Condensate in the SI units? Its value in the natural units is (300Mev)^4, but I have some problems to obtain its form in SI units (in h and c).
