DOI 10.1088/1402-4896/ab9791
Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Abstract We consider non-Abelian Proca theories with extra fundamental fields included. In the case of SU(2) Proca theory with nonlinear scalar and spinor fields, we obtain spherically symmetric regular solutions describing particlelike configurations with finite energy. For such systems, we find the energy spectrum and show the presence of a mass gap. In the case of SU(3) Proca theory with a nonlinear scalar field, we obtain cylindrically symmetric solutions describing tubes either with the flux of a longitudinal electric field or with the energy flux or with both of them. It is shown that the tubes with the energy flux may contribute considerably to the Proca proton spin. Consistent with all of this, we have argued that non-Abelian Proca theories containing extra fields may approximately describe some phenomena in QCD.
