Dynamically generated open and hidden charm meson systems
2006
We will study open and hidden charm scalar meson resonances within two different models. The first one is a direct application of a chiral Lagrangian already used to study flavor symmetry breaking in Skyrme models. In another approach to the problem a SU(4) symmetric Lagrangian is built and the symmetry is broken down to SU(3) by identifying currents where heavy mesons are exchanged and suppressing those. Unitarization in couple channels leads to dynamical generation of resonances in both models, in particular a new hidden charm resonance with mass 3.7 GeV is predicted. The small differences between these models and with previous works will be discussed.
Study of reactions disclosing hidden charm pentaquarks with or without strangeness
2016
We present results for five reactions, Lambda(b) -> J/psi K(-)p, Lambda(b) -> J/psi eta Lambda, Lambda(b) -> J/psi pi(-)p, Lambda(b) -> J/psi K-0 Lambda and Xi(-)(b) -> J/psi K-Lambda, where combining information from the meson baryon interaction, using the chiral unitary approach, and predictions made for molecular states of hidden charm, with or without strangeness, we can evaluate invariant mass distributions for the light meson baryon states, and for those of J/psi p or J/psi Lambda. We show that with the present available information, in all of these reactions one finds peaks where the pentaquark states show up. In the Lambda(b) -> J/psi K(-)p, and Lambda(b) -> J/psi pi(-)p reactions w…
Low lying axial-vector mesons as dynamically generated resonances
2005
We make a theoretical study of the s-wave interaction of the nonet of vector mesons with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons starting from a chiral invariant Lagrangian and implementing unitarity in coupled channels. By looking for poles in the unphysical Riemann sheets of the unitarized scattering amplitudes, we get two octets and one singlet of axial-vector dynamically generated resonances. The poles found can be associated to most of the low lying axial-vector resonances quoted in the Particle Data Book: $b_1(1235)$, $h_1(1170)$, $h_1(1380)$, $a_1(1260)$, $f_1(1285)$ and two poles to the $K_1(1270)$ resonance. We evaluate the couplings of the resonances to the $VP$ states and the partial de…
Baryogenesis from mixed particle decays
1996
We consider the $CP$ violating asymmetries produced in the decay of heavy particles, studying the effects of heavy particle mixing for arbitrary mass splittings. A considerable enhancement of the asymmetries is achieved when the masses of the mixed states are comparable, and the enhancement is maximal for mass splittings of the order of the widths of the decaying particles. We apply the results to the particular case of heavy scalar neutrino decays relevant for leptogenesis scenarios.
Space-like transition form factors from BESIII
2018
Abstract The anomalous magnetic momentum of muon, a μ , has been measured in experiment and calculated in theory with a precision up to ∼0.5 ppm. But there is a long standing 3 to 4 standard deviations between these two accurate values. The dominant contribution to the uncertainty in the theoretical calculation comes from the hadroninc contribution, including contributions from the hadronic vacuum polarization and the hadronic light-by-light. The meson transition form factors measured in two photon process at BESIII can be used as input or constrain for the calculation of the hadronic light-by-light contribution to a μ . Recent experimental activities, including the measurements of the tran…
The two-photon physics program at BESIII
2017
Abstract One of the main aspects of the two-photon physics program of the BESIII Collaboration is the determination of electromagnetic transition form factors (TFF). Precision measurements of TFF are needed as input to the calculations of the contribution of hadronic light-by-light scattering to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon a μ . Data acquired with the BESIII detector allow for the determination of TFF of light pseudoscalar mesons at momentum transfers below 2 GeV2, the region of highest relevance for a μ . The measurements of the TFF of π 0 , η and η ′ mesons, as well as pion pairs, are presented, and the potential for a first double-tagged measurement of the pion transition f…
Effects of the axial isoscalar neutral current for solar neutrino detection
1992
Abstract An essential assumption in the analysis of all the large solar neutrino experiments sensitive to neutral currents has been that the axial transitions are purely isovector. The recent results on the spin structure of the proton suggest the presence of an axial isoscalar neutral-current interaction. This would modify the assumed transition strengths for the neutral-current detection of solar neutrinos. We demonstrate that in the long wavelength limit a deuterium target is insensitive to such a mechanism. Our results for the situation of the planned BOREX experiment show that the suggested isoscalar strength would increase the observed rate by 30–40%, depending on the transition.
Problems with the Breitenlohner-Maison γ5-scheme in flavour changing neutral currents
1991
Abstract We calculate the flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) decay Z → Q q at one-loop order using two different γ 5 -prescriptions, namely the Breitenlohner-Maison-'t Hooft-Veltman (BM) γ 5 -scheme and a naively anticommuting γ 5 . The results obtained in the two schemes differ from one another. The BM γ 5 -scheme calculation violates the conventional Ward identity relating the Z → Q q and the unphysical scalar φ z → Q q proper vertices which the naive γ 5 -calculation satisfies. Hence, we conclude that it is incorrect to naively apply the BM γ 5 -scheme if the standard model is renormalized on-shell.
Renormalization of the weak hadronic current in the nuclear medium
2000
The renormalization of the weak charge-changing hadronic current as a function of the reaction energy release is studied at the nucleonic level. We have calculated the average quenching factors for each type of current (vector, axial vector and induced pseudoscalar). The obtained quenching in the axial vector part is, at zero momentum transfer, 19% for the sd shell and 23% in the fp shell. We have extended the calculations also to heavier systems such as $^{56}$Ni and $^{100}$Sn, where we obtain stronger quenchings, 44% and 59%, respectively. Gamow--Teller type transitions are discussed, along with the higher order matrix elements. The quenching factors are constant up to roughly 60 MeV mom…
Three methods to detect the predicted DDˉ scalar meson X(3700)
2012
In analogy to the f_0(500), which appears as a $\pi \pi $ resonance in chiral unitary theory, and the f_0(980), which appears as a quasibound $K \bar K$ state, the extension of this approach to the charm sector also predicts a quasibound $D \bar D $ state with mass around 3720 MeV, named as X(3700), for which some experimental support is seen in the $e^+ e^- \to J/\psi D \bar D $ reaction close to the $D \bar D $ threshold. In the present work we propose three different experiments to observe it as a clear peak. The first one is the radiative decay of the $\psi(3770)$, $\psi(3770) \to \gamma X(3700) \to \gamma \eta \eta '$. The second one proposes the analogous reaction $\psi(4040) \to \gam…
