Study of the J/ψ→ϕ(ω)f2(1270), J/ψ→ϕ(ω)f2′(1525) and J/ψ→K∗0(892)K¯2∗0(1430) decays

Abstract We present an approach to study the decay modes of the J / ψ into a vector meson and a tensor meson, taking into account the nature of the f 2 ( 1270 ) , f 2 ′ ( 1525 ) , K ¯ 2 ∗ 0 ( 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, although the experimental uncertainties are still large. Further refinements of the data would provide a more stringent test on the theoretical approach. The fit to the data is possible due to the particular strength and sign of the couplings of t…

Study of the $\bar K N$ system and coupled channels in a finite volume

We investigate the $\bar KN$ and coupled channels system in a finite volume and study the properties of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. We calculate the energy levels in a finite volume and solve the inverse problem of determining the resonance position in the infinite volume. We devise the best strategy of analysis to obtain the two poles of the $\Lambda(1405)$ in the infinite volume case, with sufficient precision to distinguish them.

Exploring the D* rho system within QCD sum rules

We present a study of the D* rho system made by using the method of QCD sum rules to determine the mass of possible resonances generated in the same system. Using isospin and spin projectors, we investigate the different configurations and obtain evidences for three D* mesons with isospin I = 1/2, spin S = 0, 1, 2 and with masses 2500 +/- 67, 2523 +/- 60, and 2439 +/- 119 MeV, respectively. The last state can be associated with D-2*(2460) ( spin 2) listed by the Particle Data Group, while one of the first two might be related to D* (2640), with unknown spin parity. In the case of I = 3/2 we also find evidences of three states with spin 0, 1, and 2, respectively, with masses 2467 +/- 82, 242…

Solution to Faddeev equations with two-body experimental amplitudes as input and application toJP=1/2+,S=0baryon resonances

We solve the Faddeev equations for the two meson-one baryon system $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}N$ and coupled channels using the experimental two-body $t$ matrices for the $\ensuremath{\pi}N$ interaction as input and unitary chiral dynamics to describe the interaction between the rest of coupled channels. In addition to the ${N}^{*}(1710)$ obtained before with the $\ensuremath{\pi}\ensuremath{\pi}N$ channel, we obtain, for ${J}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}=1/{2}^{+}$ and total isospin of the three-body system $I=1/2$, a resonance peak whose mass is around 2080 MeV and width 54 MeV, while for $I=3/2$ we find a peak around 2126 with 42 MeV of width. These two resonances can be identified with the …

Searching for signatures around 1920 MeV of a N-* state of three hadron nature

We provide a series of arguments which support the idea that the peak seen in the gamma p -> K+ Lambda reaction around 1920 MeV should correspond to the recently predicted state of J(P) = 1/2(+) as a bound state of K(K) over bar N with a mixture of alpha(0)(980)N and f(0)(980)N components. At the same time we propose polarization experiments in that reaction as a further test of the prediction, as well as a study of the total cross-section for gamma p -> K(+)K(-)p at energies close to threshold and of d sigma/dM(inv) for invariant masses close to the two-kaon threshold.

Two, three, many body systems involving mesons

In this talk we show recent developments on few body systems involving mesons. We report on an approach to Faddeev equations using chiral unitary dynamics, where an explicit cancellation of the two body off shell amplitude with three body forces stemming from the same chiral Lagrangians takes place. This removal of the unphysical off shell part of the amplitudes is most welcome and renders the approach unambiguous, showing that only on shell two body amplitudes need to be used. Within this approach, systems of two mesons and one baryon are studied, reproducing properties of the low lying $1/2^+$ states. On the other hand we also report on multirho and $K^*$ multirho states which can be asso…

The role of $f_0(1710)$ in the $\phi \omega$ threshold peak of $J/\Psi \to \gamma \phi \omega$

We study the process $J/\Psi \to \gamma \phi \omega$, measured by the BES experiment, where a neat peak close to the $\phi \omega$ threshold is observed and is associated to a scalar meson resonance around 1800 MeV. We make the observation that a scalar resonance coupling to $\phi \omega$ unavoidably couples strongly to $K \bar K$, but no trace of a peak is seen in the $K \bar K$ spectrum of the $J/\Psi \to \gamma K \bar K$ at this energy. This serves us to rule out the interpretation of the observed peak as a signal of a new resonance. After this is done, a thorough study is performed on the production of a pair of vector mesons and how its interaction leads necessarily to a peak in the $J…

Abstract We study the process J / Ψ → γ ϕ ω , measured by the BES experiment, where a neat peak close to the ϕω threshold is observed and is associated to a scalar meson resonance around 1800 MeV. We make the observation that a scalar resonance coupling to ϕω unavoidably couples strongly to K K ¯ , but no trace of a peak is seen in the K K ¯ spectrum of the J / Ψ → γ K K ¯ at this energy.

Theγd→K+K−npreaction and an alternative explanation for the “Θ+(1540)pentaquark” peak

We present a calculation of the $\ensuremath{\gamma}d\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{K}^{+}{K}^{\ensuremath{-}}np$ reaction with the aim of seeing whether the experimental peak observed in the ${K}^{+}n$ invariant mass around $1526$ MeV, from where evidence for the existence of the ${\ensuremath{\Theta}}^{+}$ has been claimed, can be obtained without this resonance as a consequence of the particular dynamics of the process and the cuts applied in the experimental setup. We find that a combination of facts leads indeed to a peak around $1530$ MeV for the invariant mass of ${K}^{+}n$ without the need to invoke any new resonance around this energy.

Dynamically generated resonances

We study the radiative decay properties of the charmonium-like X, Y and Z mesons generated dynamically from vector meson-vector meson interaction in the framework of a unitarized hiddengauge formalism. In the present work we calculate the one- and two-photon decay widths of the hidden-charm Y (3940), Z(3930) (or X(3915)) and X(4160) mesons in the framework of the vector meson dominance formalism. We obtain good agreement with experiment in case of the two photon width of the X(3915) which we associate with the 2 + resonance that we find at 3922 MeV.

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…

Three-body hadron systems with strangeness

Recently, many efforts are being put in studying three-hadron systems made of mesons and baryons and interesting results are being found. In this talk, we summarize the main features of the formalism used to study such three hadron systems with strangeness S = -1, 0 within a framework built on the basis of unitary chiral theories and solution of the Faddeev equations. In particular, we present the results obtained for the pi(K) over barN, K (K) over barN and KK (K) over bar systems and their respective coupled channels. In the first case, we find four Sigma's and two A's with spin-parity J(P) = 1/2(+), in the 1500-1800 MeV region, as two meson-one baryon s-wave resonances. In the second cas…

Faddeev fixed-center approximation to theNK̄Ksystem and the signature of aN*(1920)(1/2+) state

We perform a calculation for the three body $N \bar{K} K$ scattering amplitude by using the fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations, taking the interaction between $N$ and $\bar{K}$, $N$ and $K$, and $\bar{K}$ and $K$ from the chiral unitary approach. The resonant structures show up in the modulus squared of the three body scattering amplitude and suggest that a $N\bar{K}K$ hadron state can be formed. Our results are in agreement with others obtained in previous theoretical works, which claim a new $N^*$ resonance around 1920 MeV with spin-parity $J^P=1/2^+$. The existence of these previous works allows us to test the accuracy of the fixed center approximation in the present pro…

Two-, Three-, Many-body Systems Involving Mesons. Multimeson Condensates

In this talk we review results from studies with unconventional many hadron systems containing mesons: systems with two mesons and one baryon, three mesons, some novel systems with two baryons and one meson, and finally systems with many vector mesons, up to six, with their spins aligned forming states of increasing spin. We show that in many cases one has experimental counterparts for the states found, while in some other cases they remain as predictions, which we suggest to be searched in BESIII, Belle, LHCb, FAIR and other facilities.

Three-body resonances in two-meson-one-baryon systems

We report four $\Sigma$'s and three $\Lambda$'s, in the 1500 - 1800 MeV region, as two meson - one baryon S-wave $(1/2)^+$ resonances. We solve Faddeev equations in the coupled channel approach. The invariant mass of one of the meson-baryon pairs and that of the three particles have been varied and peaks in the squared three body $T$-matrix have been found very close to the existing $S$ = -1, $J^P= 1/2^+$ low lying baryon resonances. The input two-body $t$-matrices for meson-meson and meson-baryon interaction have been calculated by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation with the potentials obtained in the chiral unitary approach.

Limits to the fixed center approximation to Faddeev equations: The case of theϕ(2170)

The fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations has been used lately with success in the study of bound systems of three hadrons. It is also important to set the limits of the approach in those problems to prevent proliferation of inaccurate predictions. In this paper, we study the case of the $\ensuremath{\phi}(2170)$, which has been described by means of Faddeev equations as a resonant state of $\ensuremath{\phi}$ and $K\overline{K}$, and show the problems derived from the use of the fixed center approximation in its study. At the same time, we also expose the limitations of an alternative approach recently proposed.

Unitary chiral dynamics of two hadrons in a finite volume: theKD,ηDssystem and theDs*0(2317) resonance

We calculate the energy levels in a cubic box and considering them as synthetic lattice data we solve the inverse problem of determining the bound states and phase shifts in the infinite volume. We observe that it is possible to obtain accurate KD phase shifts and the position of the Ds*0(2317) state from the synthetic lattice data considered and that a careful analysis of the finite volume data can shed some light on the nature of the Ds*0(2317) resonance as a KD molecule or otherwise.

Prediction of anI=1DD¯*state and relationship to the claimedZc(3900),Zc(3885)

We study here the interaction of $D{\overline{D}}^{*}$ in the isospin $I=1$ channel in light of recent theoretical advances that allow us to combine elements of the local hidden gauge approach with heavy quark spin symmetry. We find that the exchange of light $q\overline{q}$ is Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) suppressed and thus we concentrate on the exchange of heavy vectors and of two pion exchange. The latter is found to be small compared to the exchange of heavy vectors, which then determines the strength of the interaction.

Exotic states in the S=1 N-pi-K system and low-lying 1/2+ S=-1 resonances

In this manuscript we discuss about our study of the $N \pi \bar{K}$ and the NπK systems made by solving the Faddeev equations with the two-body t-matrices obtained by solving the Bethe-Salpeter equations with the potentials obtained from chiral dynamics. In the strangeness = -1 case, we found that all the Λ and Σ resonances listed by the particle data group, with spin-parity 1/2+ , in the 1550-1800 MeV region get generated due to the involved three-body dynamics. This motivated us to study the strangeness =1 three-body system, i.e., NπK , where we did not find any evidence for the Θ + (1542) but found a broad bump around 1700 MeV which has a κ (800)N structure.

In addition to this, several new studies at BES, BELLE, BABAR etc., claim the existence of new meson resonances which seem to couple strongly to three-meson systems, where mostly two out of…

Strategy to find the two $\Lambda(1405)$ states from lattice QCD simulations

Theoretical studies within the chiral unitary approach, and recent experiments, have provided evidence of the existence of two isoscalar states in the region of the $\Lambda(1405)$. In this paper we use the same chiral approach to generate energy levels in a finite box. In a second step, assuming that these energies correspond to lattice QCD results, we devise the best strategy of analysis to obtain the two states in the infinite volume case, with sufficient precision to distinguish them. We find out that using energy levels obtained with asymmetric boxes and/or with a moving frame, with reasonable errors in the energies, one has a successful scheme to get the two $\Lambda(1405)$ poles.
