Study of the $J/\psi \to \phi (\omega) f_2(1270)$, $J/\psi \to \phi (\omega) f'_2(1525)$ and $J/\psi \to K^{*0}(892) \bar{K}^{* 0}_2(1430)$ decays

We present an approach to study the decay modes of the $J/\psi$ into a vector meson and a tensor meson, taking into account the nature of the $f_2(1270)$, $f'_2(1525)$, $\bar{K}^{* 0}_2(1430)$ resonances as dynamically generated states from the vector meson-vector meson interaction. We evaluate four ratios of partial decay widths in terms of a flavor dependent OZI breaking parameter and the results obtained compare favorably with experiment. The fit to the data is possible due to the particular strength and sign of the couplings of the resonances to pairs of vector mesons given by the theory, thus providing a nontrivial test for the idea of these tensor states as dynamically generated from …

SU(3)-breaking corrections to the baryon-octet magnetic moments in chiral perturbation theory

We report a calculation of the baryon magnetic moments using covariant chiral perturbation theory within the extended-on-mass-shell renormalization scheme including intermediate octet and decuplet contributions. By fitting the two available low-energy constants, we improve the Coleman-Glashow description of the data when we include the leading SU(3) breaking effects coming from the lowest-order loops. We compare with previous attempts at the same order using heavy-baryon and covariant infrared chiral perturbation theory, and discuss the source of the differences.

S-wave KK* interactions in a finite volume and the f(1)(1285)

International audience; 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 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 hy…

Octet-baryon axial-vector charges and SU(3)-breaking effects in the semileptonic hyperon decays

The octet-baryon axial-vector charges and the g1/f1 ratios measured in the semileptonic hyperon decays are studied up to O(p^3) using the covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory with explicit decuplet contributions. We clarify the role of different low-energy constants and find a good convergence for the chiral expansion of the axial-vector charges of the baryon octet, g1(0), with O(p^3) corrections typically around 20% of the leading ones. This is a consequence of strong cancellations between different next-to-leading order terms. We show that considering only non-analytic terms is not enough and that analytic terms appearing at the same chiral order play an important role in this desc…

SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon vector coupling $f_1(0)$ in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory

We report on a recent study of the SU(3)-breaking corrections to the hyperon vector coupling $f_1(0)$ up to $\mathcal{O}(p^4)$ in covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory with dynamical octet and decuplet contributions. The decuplet contributions are taken into account for the first time in a covariant ChPT study and are found of similar or even larger size than the octet ones. We predict positive SU(3)-breaking corrections to all the four independent $f_1(0)$'s (assuming isospin symmetry), which are consistent, within uncertainties, with the latest results from large $N_c$ fits, chiral quark models, and quenched lattice QCD calculations. We also discuss briefly the implications of our r…
