Multiquark description of the D-sJ(2860) and D-sJ(2700)
2009
Within a theoretical framework that accounts for all open-charm mesons, including the D-0*(2308), the D-sJ*(2317), and the D-sJ(2460), we analyze the structure and explore possible quantum number assignments for the D-sJ(2860) and the D-sJ(2700) mesons reported by BABAR and Belle Collaborations. The open-charm sector is properly described if considered as a combination of conventional quark-antiquark states and four-quark components. All negative parity and 2(+) states can be understood in terms only of q (q) over bar components, however the description of the 0(+) and 1(+) mesons is improved whenever the mixing between two- and four-quark configurations is included. We analyze all possible…
Measurement of branching fractions and charge asymmetries for exclusive B decays to charmonium
2005
We report measurements of branching fractions and charge asymmetries of exclusive decays of neutral and charged B mesons into two-body final states containing a charmonium state and a light strange meson. The charmonium mesons considered are J/Psi, Psi(2S) and Chi_c1, and the light meson is either K or K*. We use a sample of about 124 million BBbar events collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II storage ring at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center.
Strangeness and charm in nuclear matter
2012
The properties of strange (K, (K) over bar and (K) over bar*) and open-charm (D, (D) over bar and D*) mesons in dense matter are studied using a unitary approach in coupled channels for meson-baryon scattering. In the strangeness sector, the interaction with nucleons always comes through vector-meson exchange, which is evaluated by chiral and hidden gauge Lagrangians. For the interaction of charmed mesons with nucleons we extend the SU(3) Weinberg-Tomozawa Lagrangian to incorporate spin-flavor symmetry and implement a suitable flavor symmetry breaking. The in-medium solution for the scattering amplitude accounts for Pauli blocking effects and meson self-energies. On one hand, we obtain the …
