Screened potential and quarkonia properties at high temperatures
2009
We perform a quark model calculation of the quarkonia b (b) over bar and c (c) over bar spectra using smooth and sudden string breaking potentials. The screening parameter is scale dependent and can be related to an effective running gluon mass that has a finite infrared fixed point. A temperature dependence for the screening mass is motivated by lattice QCD simulations at finite temperature. Qualitatively different results are obtained for quarkonia properties close to a critical value of the deconfining temperature when a smooth or a sudden string breaking potential is used. In particular, with a sudden string breaking potential quarkonia radii remain almost independent of the temperature…
A consistent explanation of the Roper phenomenology
1998
We study the electromagnetic transitions of the Roper N(1440) resonance. Our results, when combined with the previously obtained for the mass and the pionic strong decay widths of the Roper, show that within a non-relativistic constituent quark model scheme, a comprehensible understanding of the Roper phenomenology can be achieved. They also seem to support the view of the Roper as a radial excitation of the nucleon, though more experimental data are needed to reach a definitive conclusion.
Spectral patterns in the nonstrange baryon spectrum
2006
We extract, from a quark model potential that reproduces the number and ordering of nonstrange baryonic resonances up to 2.3 GeV, the quantum numbers for the dominant configurations in the ground and first non-radial excited states. From the pattern of quantum numbers we identify, from data, spectral regularities that allow us to predict the expected high spin low-lying spectrum from 2.3 to 3.0 GeV. $N-\Delta$ degeneracies and $N$ parity doublets showing up can be interpreted in terms of a simple dynamics.
Strange tribaryons
2006
We use two-body potentials derived from a constituent quark cluster model to analyze the bound-state problem of the $\Sigma NN$ system. The observables of the two-body subsystems, $NN$ and $\Sigma N$, are well reproduced. We do not find $\Sigma NN$ bound states, but there are two attractive channels with a resonance close above the three-body threshold. These channels are the $(I,J)=(1,1/2)$ and $(0,1/2)$, their quantum numbers, widths and energy ordering consistent with the recently measured strange tribaryons from the $^{4}{\rm He}(K_{{\rm stopped}}^{-},N)$ reactions in the KEK PS E471 experiment.
Small x physics and RHIC data
2010
This is a review of applications of the Color Glass Condensate to the phenomenology of relativistic heavy ion collisions. The initial stages of the collision can be understood in terms of the nonperturbatively strong nonlinear glasma color fields. We discuss how the CGC framework can and has been used to compute properties of the initial conditions of AA collisions. In particular this has led to recent progress in understanding multiparticle correlations, which can provide a directly observable signal of the properties of the initial stage of the collision process.
Randall-Sundrum corrections to the width difference andCP-violating phase inBs0-meson decays
2011
We study the impact of the Randall-Sundrum setup on the width difference $\ensuremath{\Delta}{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{s}$ and the $CP$-violating phase ${\ensuremath{\phi}}_{s}$ in the ${\overline{B}}_{s}^{0}$-${B}_{s}^{0}$ system. Our calculations are performed in the general framework of an effective theory, based on operator product expansion. The results can thus be used for many new-physics models. We find that the correction to the magnitude of the decay amplitude ${\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{12}^{s}$ is below 4% for a realistic choice of input parameters. The main modification in the $\ensuremath{\Delta}{\ensuremath{\Gamma}}_{s}/{\ensuremath{\beta}}_{s}$-plane is caused by a new $CP$-violati…
Two-photon and one-photon–one-vector meson decay widths of thef0(1370),f2(1270),f0(1710),f2′(1525), andK2*(1430)
2010
We calculate the radiative decay widths, two-photon ($\ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\gamma}$) and one-photon--one-vector meson ($V\ensuremath{\gamma}$), of the dynamically generated resonances from vector-meson--vector-meson interaction in a unitary approach based on the hidden-gauge Lagrangians. In the present paper we consider the following dynamically generated resonances: ${f}_{0}(1370)$, ${f}_{0}(1710)$, ${f}_{2}(1270)$, ${f}_{2}^{\ensuremath{'}}(1525)$, ${K}_{2}^{*}(1430)$, two $\mathrm{\text{strangeness}}=0$ and $\mathrm{\text{isospin}}=1$ states, and two $\mathrm{\text{strangeness}}=1$ and $\mathrm{\text{isospin}}=1/2$ states. For the ${f}_{0}(1370)$ and ${f}_{2}(1270)$ we reproduc…
SU(5)-inspired double beta decay
2015
The short-range part of the neutrinoless double beta amplitude is generated via the exchange of exotic particles, such as charged scalars, leptoquarks and/or diquarks. In order to give a sizable contribution to the total decay rate, the masses of these exotics should be of the order of (at most) a few TeV. Here, we argue that these exotics could be the “light” (i.e., weak-scale) remnants of some B – L violating variants of SU(5). We show that unification of the standard model gauge couplings, consistent with proton decay limits, can be achieved in such a setup without the need to introduce supersymmetry. Since these nonminimal SU(5)-inspired models violate B – L, they generate Majorana neut…
Yukawa sector of multi-Higgs-doublet models in the presence of Abelian symmetries
2013
A general method for classifying the possible quark models of a multi-Higgs-doublet model, in the presence of Abelian symmetries, is presented. All the possible sets of textures that can be present in a given sector are shown, thus turning the determination of the flavor models into a combinatorial problem. Several symmetry implementations are studied for two and three Higgs doublet models. Some models' implementations are explored in great detail, with a particular emphasis on models known as Branco-Grimus-Lavoura and nearest-neighbor-interaction. Several considerations on the flavor changing neutral currents of multi-Higgs models are also given.
Quark model description of the tetraquark stateX(3872)in a relativistic constituent quark model with infrared confinement
2010
We explore the consequences of treating the $X(3872)$ meson as a tetraquark bound state. As dynamical framework we employ a relativistic constituent quark model which includes infrared confinement in an effective way. We calculate the decay widths of the observed channels $X\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}+2\ensuremath{\pi}(3\ensuremath{\pi})$ and $X\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{D}}^{0}+{D}^{0}+{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{0}$ via the intermediate off-shell states $X\ensuremath{\rightarrow}J/\ensuremath{\psi}+\ensuremath{\rho}(\ensuremath{\omega})$ and $X\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\overline{D}+{D}^{*}$. For reasonable values of the size parameter ${\ensuremath{\Lambda}}_{X}$ of the $X(3…
