Antineutrino induced Λ(1405) production off the proton

We have studied the strangeness-changing antineutrino-induced reactions ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{l}p\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{l}^{+}\ensuremath{\phi}B$, with $\ensuremath{\phi}B={K}^{\ensuremath{-}}p$, ${\overline{K}}^{0}n$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{0}$, $\ensuremath{\eta}\ensuremath{\Lambda}$, $\ensuremath{\eta}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{0}$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{+}$, ${K}^{+}{\ensuremath{\Xi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, and ${K}^{0}{\ensuremath{\Xi}}^{0}$, using a chiral unitary approach. These ten coupled channels are allowed t…

Consistency between SU(3) and SU(2) chiral perturbation theory for the nucleon mass

Treating the strange quark mass as a heavy scale compared to the light quark mass, we perform a matching of the nucleon mass in the SU(3) sector to the two-flavor case in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. The validity of the $19$ low-energy constants appearing in the octet baryon masses up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order~\cite{Ren:2014vea} is supported by comparing the effective parameters (the combinations of the $19$ couplings) with the corresponding low-energy constants in the SU(2) sector~\cite{Alvarez-Ruso:2013fza}. In addition, it is shown that the dependence of the effective parameters and the pion-nucleon sigma term on the strange quark mass is relatively weak ar…

Consistency between SU(3) and SU(2) covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory for the nucleon mass

Abstract Treating the strange quark mass as a heavy scale compared to the light quark mass, we perform a matching of the nucleon mass in the SU(3) sector to the two-flavor case in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory. The validity of the 19 low-energy constants appearing in the octet baryon masses up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order [1] is supported by comparing the effective parameters (the combinations of the 19 couplings) with the corresponding low-energy constants in the SU(2) sector [2] . In addition, it is shown that the dependence of the effective parameters and the pion-nucleon sigma term on the strange quark mass is relatively weak around its physical value, thus pro…

$S$-wave $KK^*$ interaction in a finite volume and the $f_1(1285)$

Lattice QCD simulations provide a promising way to disentangle different interpretations of hadronic resonances, which might be of particular relevance to understand the nature of the so-called $XYZ$ particles. Recent studies have shown that in addition to the well-established naive quark model picture, the axial-vector meson $f_1(1285)$ can also be understood as a dynamically generated state built upon the $KK^*$ interaction. In this work, we calculate the energy levels of the $KK^*$ system in the $f_1(1285)$ channel in finite volume using the chiral unitary approach. We propose to calculate the loop function in the dimensional regularization scheme, which is equivalent to the hybrid appro…

Partial decay widths of ϕ(2170) to kaonic resonances

In this work, we study the strong decays of $\ensuremath{\phi}(2170)$ to final states involving the kaonic resonances $K(1460)$, ${K}_{1}(1270)$, and ${K}_{1}(1400)$, on which experimental data have recently been extracted by the BESIII Collaboration. The formalism developed here is based on interpreting $\ensuremath{\phi}(2170)$ and $K(1460)$ as states arising from three-hadron dynamics, which is inspired by our earlier works. For ${K}_{1}(1270)$ and ${K}_{1}(1400)$, we investigate different descriptions, such as a mixture of states belonging to the nonet of axial resonances, or the former one as a state originating from the vector-pseudoscalar dynamics. The ratios among the partial widths…

States Of Rho D*(D)Over-Bar* With J=3 Within The Fixed Center Approximation To The Faddeev Equations

We study the interaction of ρ, D * and $$\bar D^*$$ with spins aligned using the fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations. We select a cluster of $$D^* \bar D^*$$ , which is found to be bound in I = 0 and can be associated to the X(3915), and let the ρ meson orbit around the D * and $$\bar D^*$$ . In this case we find an I = 1 state with mass around 4340 MeV and narrow width of about 50 MeV. We also investigate the case with a cluster of ρD * and let the $$\bar D^*$$ orbit around the system of the two states. The ρD * cluster is also found to bind and leads to the D 2 * state. The addition of the extra $$\bar D^*$$ produces further binding and we find, with admitted uncertainties…

States of $ \rho$ B* $ \bar{{B}}^{{*}}_{}$ with J = 3 within the fixed center approximation to Faddeev equations

We study the interaction of the a $\rho$ and $D^*$, $\bar D^*$ with spins aligned using the Fixed Center Approximation to the Faddeev equations. We select a cluster of $D^* \bar D^*$, which is found to be bound in $I=0$ and can be associated to the X(3915), and let the $\rho$ meson orbit around the $D^*$ and $\bar D^*$.

We also investigate the case with a cluster of $\rho D^*$ and let the $\bar D^*$ orbit around the system of the two states. The $\rho D^*$ cluster is also found to bind and leads to the $D^*_2(2460)$ state. The addition of the extra $\bar D^*$ produces further binding and we find,…

S-waveKK*interactions in a finite volume and thef1(1285)

Lattice QCD simulations provide a promising way to disentangle different interpretations of hadronic resonances, which might be of particular relevance to understand the nature of the so-called XY Z particles. Recent studies have shown that in addition to the well-established naive quark model picture, the axial-vector meson f1(1285) can also be understood as a dynamically generated state built upon the KK ∗ interaction. In this work, we calculate the energy levels of the KK ∗ system in the f1(1285) channel in finite volume using the chiral unitary approach. We propose to calculate the loop function in the dimensional regularization scheme, which is equivalent to the hybrid approach adopted…

Test of the $h_1(1830)$ made of $K^{*}\bar{K}^*$ with the $\eta_c\rightarrow \phi K^{*}\bar{K}^{*}$ decay

We present a new reaction, complementary to the $J/\psi\rightarrow \eta K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ from which an $h_1$ resonance with mass around $1830$ MeV was reported from a BESIII experiment. The new reaction is $\eta_c\rightarrow \phi K^*\bar{K}^*$, or $\eta_c(2S)\rightarrow \phi K^*\bar{K}^*$. Using the information from the analysis of $J/\psi\rightarrow \eta K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$, we find that the $K^*\bar{K}^*$ invariant mass distribution for those two $\eta_c$ decays exhibits a clear peak around $1830$ MeV perfectly distinguishable from what one obtains with pure phase space. We suggest the implementation of these reactions to assert the existence of this elusive resonance which, by its nat…

Using the information from the analysis of , we find that the invariant mass distribution for those two Iu decays exhibits a clear peak around 1830 MeV perfectly distinguishable from what one obtains with pure phase space. We suggest the implementation of these reactions to assert the existence of this elusive resonance which, by its nature as a vector-vector molecule with 0(-)(1(+-)) quantum numbers, only couples to the channel.
