Description

The study of charge symmetry breaking (CSB) is always an interesting area of activities in nuclear physics. The general goal of the research in this area is to find small but observable effects of CSB which might provide significant insight into the strong interaction dynamics. At the fundamental level, CSB is caused by the finite mass difference between u-d quarks. As a consequence, at the hadronic level, charge symmetry (CS) is broken due to non-degenerate mass of hadrons of the same isospin multiplet. This additional source of symmetry breaking for the construction of CSB potential has, to the best of our knowledge, not been considered before. We consider both of these mechanisms to construct the CSB potential
