Regge phenomenology of theN*andΔ*poles

2019

We use Regge phenomenology to study the structure of the poles of the ${N}^{*}$ and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}}^{*}$ spectrum. We employ the available pole extractions from partial wave analysis of meson scattering and photoproduction data. We assess the importance of the imaginary part of the poles (widths) to obtain a consistent determination of the parameters of the Regge trajectory. We compare the several pole extractions and show how Regge phenomenology can be used to gain insight into the internal structure of baryons. We find that the majority of the states in the parent Regge trajectories are compatible with a mostly compact three-quark state picture.

Chiral dynamics of baryon resonances and hadrons in a nuclear medium

2005

In these lectures I make an introduction to chiral unitary theory applied to the meson baryon interaction and show how several well known resonances are dynamically generated, and others are predicted. Two very recent experiments are analyzed, one of them showing the existence of two $\Lambda(1405)$ states and the other one providing support for the $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance as a quasibound state of $\Sigma(1385) \pi$. The use of chiral Lagrangians to account for the hadronic interaction at the elementary level introduces a new approach to deal with the modification of meson and baryon properties in a nuclear medium. Examples of it for $\bar{K}$, $\eta$ and $\phi$ modification in the nuclea…

The $$\rho (\omega ) B^* (B)$$ ρ ( ω ) B ∗ ( B ) interaction and states of $$J=0,1,2$$ J = 0 , 1 , 2

2016

In this work, we study systems composed of a $\rho/\omega$ and $B^*$ meson pair. We find three bound states in isospin, spin-parity channels $(1/2, 0^+)$, $(1/2, 1^+)$ and $(1/2, 2^+)$. The state with $J=2$ can be a good candidate for the $B_2^*(5747)$. We also study the $\rho B$ system, and a bound state with mass $5728$ MeV and width around $20$ MeV is obtained, which can be identified with the $B_1(5721)$ resonance. In the case of $I=3/2$, one obtains repulsion and thus, no exotic (molecular) mesons in this sector are generated in the approach.

Measurement of the SemileptonicCPAsymmetry inB0-B¯0Mixing

2015

The semileptonic $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0-\overline{B}{}^0$ mixing, $a_{\rm sl}^d$, is measured in proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$, recorded by the LHCb experiment. Semileptonic $B^0$ decays are reconstructed in the inclusive final states $D^-\mu^+$ and $D^{*-}\mu^+$, where the $D^-$ meson decays into the $K^+\pi^-\pi^-$ final state, and the $D^{*-}$ meson into the $\overline{D}{}^0(\rightarrow K^+\pi^-)\pi^-$ final state. The asymmetry between the numbers of $D^{(*)-}\mu^+$ and $D^{(*)+}\mu^-$ decays is measured as a function of the decay time of the $B^0$ mesons. The $CP$ asymmetry is measured to be $a_{\rm sl}^d = (-0.02 \pm 0.19 \pm…

$${\bar{B}}^0$$ B ¯ 0 , $$B^{-}$$ B - and $${\bar{B}}^0_s$$ B ¯ s 0 decays into $$J/\psi $$ J / ψ and $$K {\bar{K}}$$ K K ¯ or $$\pi \eta $$ π η

2015

We study the $\bar B^0_s \to J/\psi K^+ K^-$, $\bar B^0 \to J/\psi K^+ K^-$, $B^- \to J/\psi K^0 K^-$, $\bar B^0 \to J/\psi \pi^0 \eta$ and $B^- \to J/\psi \pi^- \eta$ decays and compare their mass distributions with those obtained for the $\bar B^0_s \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $\bar B^0 \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$. The approach followed consist in a factorization of the weak part and the hadronization part into a factor which is common to all the processes. Then what makes the reactions different are some trivial Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements and the weight by which the different pairs of mesons appear in a primary step plus their final state interaction. These elements are part o…

Detecting the long-distance structure of the $$X(3872)$$ X ( 3872 )

2014

We study the X(3872)-->D^0 \bar D^0 \pi^0 decay within a D \bar D^* molecular picture for the X(3872) state. This decay mode is more sensitive to the long-distance structure of the X(3872) resonance than its J/\psi\pi\pi and J/\psi3\pi decays, which are mainly controlled by the details of the X(3872) wave function at short distances. We show that the D^0 \bar D^0 final state interaction can be important, and that a precise measurement of this partial decay width can provide valuable information on the interaction strength between the D^{(*)} \bar D^{(*)} charm mesons.

Meson Properties in Nuclear Medium

2003

In this paper, we report on the properties of meson resonances in the nuclear medium, in the scalar and vector sectors. First of all, the ρ meson is studied by looking at the pion-pion scattering amplitude in the vector-isovector channel, following a chiral unitary framework in free space and in the medium. The pious are modified in the medium by means of p-h and Δ-h excitations, and the p meson couples to these components as well as to N*(1520)-h excitations. Second, the Φ meson spectrum due to the kaon channel is obtained in terms of the Φ selfenergy provided by a chiral SU(3) dynamics model. The medium effects are considered in the properties of K and K mesons which are renormalized by S…

We review the actual state in the description of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction by means of chiral constituent quark models. We present a series of relevant features that are nicely explained within the quark model framework.

Traces of the hidden-charm S=−1 pentaquark in the Λb→J/ΨηΛ decay

2017

The hidden charm pentaquark state Pc (4450), observed recently by the LHCb collaboration in the Λb →J/ψK − p decay, may be of molecular nature, as advocated by some unitary approaches that also predict pentaquark partners in the strangeness S=−1 sector. In this work we argue that a hidden-charm strange pentaquark could also be seen in the decay of theΛb , but through the J/ψη Λ decay mode, by studying the invariant mass spectrum of J/ψ Λ pairs.In our model we assume a standard weak decay topology, then incorporate the hadronization process and final state interaction effects, and we find that the J/ψη Λ final state is populated with the strength similar to that of the J/ψK− p . We have stud…
