Line shape and D(*)D¯(*) probabilities of ψ(3770) from the e+e−→DD¯ reaction

We have performed a calculation of the DD¯, DD¯*, D*D¯, D*D¯* components in the wave function of the ψ(3770). For this we make use of the P03 model to find the coupling of ψ(3770) to these components, that with an elaborate angular momentum algebra can be obtained with only one parameter. Then we use data for the e+e-→DD¯ reaction, from where we determine a form factor needed in the theoretical framework, as well as other parameters needed to evaluate the meson-meson self-energy of the ψ(3770). Once this is done we determine the Z probability to still have a vector core and the probability to have the different meson components. We find Z about 80%–85%, and the individual meson-meson compon…

Ωc states with an extension of the local hidden gauge approach

B0 and Bs0 decays into J/ψ f0(980) and J/ψ f0(500) and the nature of the scalar resonances

AbstractWe describe the B0 and Bs0 decays into J/ψ f0(500) and J/ψ f0(980) by taking into account the dominant process for the weak decay of B0 and Bs0 into J/ψ and a qq¯ component. After hadronization of this qq¯ component into pairs of pseudoscalar mesons we obtain certain weights for the meson–meson components and allow them to interact among themselves. The final state interaction of the meson–meson components, described in terms of chiral unitary theory, gives rise to the f0(980) and f0(500) resonances and we can obtain the π+π− invariant mass distributions after the decay of the resonances, which allows us to compare directly to the experiments. We obtain ratios of J/ψ f0(980) and J/ψ…

The χ decay to ϕK⁎K¯,ϕh1(1380) testing the nature of axial vector meson resonances

Abstract We perform a theoretical study of the χ c J → ϕ K ⁎ K ¯ → ϕ K π K ¯ reaction taking into account the K ⁎ K ¯ final state interaction, which in the chiral unitary approach is responsible, together with its coupled channels, for the formation of the low lying axial vector mesons, in this case the h 1 ( 1380 ) given the selection of quantum numbers. Based on this picture we can easily explain why in the χ c 0 decay the h 1 ( 1380 ) resonance is not produced, and, in the case of χ c 1 and χ c 2 decay, why a dip in the K + π 0 K − mass distribution appears in the 1550-1600 MeV region, that in our picture comes from a destructive interference between the tree level mechanism and the resc…

Observed ωb spectrum and meson-baryon molecular states

We observe that four peaks seen in the high energy part of the $\Omega_b$ spectrum of the recent LHCb experiment are in remarkable agreement with predictions made for molecular $\Omega_b$ states stemming from the meson-baryon interaction, with an approach that applied to the $\Omega_c$ states gave rise to three states in good agreement with experiment in masses and widths. While the statistical significance of the peaks prevents us from claims of states at the present time, the agreement found should be an incentive to look at this experiment with increased statistics to give an answer to this suggestive idea.

A study of beauty baryons with extended local hidden gauge approach

Abstract In present work we investigate the interaction of B ‾ N , B ‾ Δ , B ‾ ⁎ N and B ‾ ⁎ Δ states, together with their coupled channels. Taking into account the heavy quark spin symmetry for pion exchange and the results of the Weinberg Tomozawa term in the extended local hidden gauge approach, we search for states dynamically generated from the interaction, and find two states with small width, which we associate to the Λ b ( 5912 ) and Λ b ( 5920 ) states. In addition to these two Λ b states, we find three more states with I = 0 and eight more states in I = 1 , some of which are degenerate in different spin J .
