Schematic model for narrowΔ(1232)resonances bound in a nucleus
2001
A schematic model explaining the recent evidence for bound states of the $\ensuremath{\Delta}(1232)$ resonance in ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}$ with a width of about 5 MeV found in the ${}^{12}\mathrm{C}{(e,e}^{\ensuremath{'}}p{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}{)}^{11}{\mathrm{C}}_{\mathrm{g}.\mathrm{s}.}$ is suggested. It interprets the observed narrow resonances as coherent bound states enforcing a fixed phase relation for the rescattering of the decay $\ensuremath{\pi}$'s in the nucleus. The coherent summing of the rescattering diagrams results in a cancellation of the tails of the resonance and a constructive interference in the maximum of the resonance leading to the observed narrow states at t…
PION DOUBLE CHARGE EXCHANGE REACTIONS LEADING TO DOUBLE PIONIC ATOMS
1992
We study theoretically pion double charge exchange reactions leading to double pionic atoms. The reaction cross-sections with two pions in the deeper bound pionic orbits in 208Pb are calculated with realistic pionic atom wave functions and distortion effects. The cross-sections are found to be d2σ/dEdΩ~10−3−10−4 µ b/srMeV , which are only a small fraction of the double charge exchange background.
Existence and dynamics of pairs of temporal cavity solitons weakly-bound through kelly sidebands in a passive optical fiber resonator
2015
We report experimental observations of weaklybound states of temporal cavity solitons, with separations of 10 soliton widths and beyond, in a 100-m single mode fiber cavity. Bound state dynamics has been studied using the real time dispersive Fourier transform technique for roundtrip-byroundtrip measurements. Temporal oscillations in the cavity soliton background, associated with the presence of Kelly sidebands, have been identified as the binding mechanism.
Dark Matter Bound States from Three-Body Recombination
2020
The small-scale structure problems of the universe can be solved by self-interacting dark matter that becomes strongly interacting at low energies. A particularly predictive model is resonant short-range self-interactions, with a dark-matter mass of about 19 GeV and a large S-wave scattering length of about 17 fm. Such a model makes definite predictions for the few-body physics of weakly bound clusters of the dark-matter particles. We calculate the production of two-body bound clusters by three-body recombination in the early universe under the assumption that the dark matter particles are identical bosons, which is the most favorable case for forming larger clusters. The fraction of dark m…
A lattice investigation of exotic tetraquark channels
2020
We perform an $n_f=2+1$ lattice study of a number of channels where past claims exist in the literature for the existence of strong-interaction-stable light-heavy tetraquarks. We find no evidence for any such deeply-bound states, beyond the $J^P=1^+$, $I=0$ $ud\bar{b}\bar{b}$ and $I=1/2$ $ls\bar{b}\bar{b}$ states already identified in earlier lattice studies. We also describe a number of systematic improvements to our previous lattice studies, including working with larger $m_\pi L$ to better suppress possible finite volume effects, employing extended sinks to better control excited-state contamination, and expanding the number of operators used in the GEVP analyses. Our results also allow …
Light-by-light forward scattering sum rules for charmonium states
2017
We apply three forward light-by-light scattering sum rules to charmonium states. We show that these sum rules imply a cancellation between charmonium bound state contributions, which are mostly known from the $\gamma \gamma$ decay widths of these states, and continuum contributions above $D \bar D$ threshold, for which we provide a duality estimate. We also show that two of these sum rules allow to predict the yet unmeasured $\gamma^\ast \gamma$ coupling of the $\chi_{c1}(1P)$ state, which can be tested at present high-luminosity $e^+ e^-$ colliders.
Determination of the ηHe3 threshold structure from the low energy pd→ηHe3 reaction
2017
We analyze the data on cross sections and asymmetries for the $pd\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\eta}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}^{3}\mathrm{He}$ reaction close to threshold and look for bound states of the $\ensuremath{\eta}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}^{3}\mathrm{He}$ system. Rather than parameterizing the scattering matrix, as is usually done, we develop a framework in which the $\ensuremath{\eta}{\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}}^{3}\mathrm{He}$ optical potential is the key ingredient, and its strength, together with some production parameters, are fitted to the available experimental data. The relationship of the scattering matrix to the optical potential is established using the Bethe…
Molecular interpretation of the XYZ states
2012
We study the vector – vector system including all the possible channels with quantum numbers charm = 0, strangeness = 0 around the energy region of 4000 MeV. New states with hidden charm around 4000MeV have been discovered by the B factories. They are intriguingly close to the D*D¯*${D^*}{ar D^*}$ and Ds*D¯s*$D_s^*ar D_s^*$ thresholds and do not have the properties of the charmonium states.We study the possible formation of D*D¯*${D^*}{ar D^*}$ and Ds*D¯s*$D_s^*ar D_s^*$ bound states in the framework of the Hidden Gauge formalism and discuss some of the models that favor the molecular assumption of some XYZ states: The hidden gauge formalism, Heavy baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory and the …
The bottomed strange molecules with isospin 0
2018
Using the local hidden gauge approach, we study the possibility of the existence of bottomed strange molecular states with isospin 0. We find three bound states with spin-parity $0^+$, $1^+$ and $2^+$ generated by the $\bar{K}^*B^*$ and $\omega B_s^*$ interaction, among which the state with spin 2 can be identified as $B_{s2}^*(5840)$. In addition, we also study the $\bar{K}^*B$ and $\omega B_s$ interaction and find a bound state which can be associated to $B_{s1}(5830)$. Besides, the $\bar{K}B^*$ and $\eta B_s^*$ and $\bar{K}B$ and $\eta B_s$ systems are studied, and two bound states are predicted. We expect that further experiments can confirm our predictions.
Exotic bcq¯q¯ four-quark states
2019
We carry out a systematic study of exotic $Q{Q}^{\ensuremath{'}}\overline{q}\overline{q}$ four-quark states containing distinguishable heavy flavors, $b$ and $c$. Different generic constituent models are explored in an attempt to extract general conclusions. The results are robust, predicting the same sets of quantum numbers as the best candidates to lodge bound states independently of the model used, the isoscalar ${J}^{P}={0}^{+}$ and ${J}^{P}={1}^{+}$ states. The first state would be strong and electromagnetic-interaction stable, while the second would decay electromagnetically to $\overline{B}D\ensuremath{\gamma}$. Isovector states are found to be unbound, preventing the existence of ch…
