Quark loop model of radiative meson decays

Radiative meson decays are computed from quark loop anomalies, taking into account the SU(3) splitting of the quark masses. Predicted rates for ?→ηγ,K ^*→Kγ, and η→ππγ are brought into satisfactory agreement with experiment. Formulas are given for the radiative decay rates of charmed las are given for the radiative decay rates of charmed mesons, and a mechanism suggested for suppression of the radiative decays of mesons containing a charmed quark.     

Pion properties at finite isospin chemical potential with isospin symmetry breaking

Pion properties at finite temperature, finite isospin and baryon chemical potentials are investigated within the SU(2) NJL model. In the mean field approximation for quarks and random phase approximation fpr mesons, we calculate the pion mass, the decay constant and the phase diagram with different quark masses for the u quark and d quark, related to QCD corrections, for the first time. Our results show an asymmetry between μI 0 and μI 0 in the phase diagram, and different values for the charged pion mass(or decay constant) and neutral pion mass(or decay constant) at finite temperature and finite isospin chemical potential. This is caused by the effect of isospin symmetry breaking, which is from different quark masses.     

矢量介子的辐射衰变

介子的辐射衰变是低能强子物理研究的重要方向, 通过它能够揭示介子的结构和性质。从有效场论的观点来看,介子衰变主要包含光子和强子之间的相互作用。使用SU(3)对称性和VMD模型分别对矢量介子的辐射衰变进行了研究。 通过对实验数据进行拟和,给出了在两种情形下V→Pγ的衰变宽度的理论值,并得到赝标量混合角θP 为－6°。 Radiative decay of mesons is an important aspect in low energy hadronic physics,through which structures and properties of mesons can be revealed. In view of effective field theories, the radiative decay of mesons involves mainly interactions between photons and hadrons. In this paper,we investigate the decay of vector mesons by using SU(3) symmetry and the vector meson dominance model respectively. By fitting with experiments, we give the theoretic widths for V→Pγ in both cases and the mixing angle of pseudoscalars θP is －6°.     

相对论夸克模型中底奇异介子的辐射衰变(英文)

系统地研究了相对论夸克模型框架下的底奇异介子的辐射衰变。给出了底奇异介子E1 和M1 辐射衰变分宽度。这些结果表明,大多数电偶极辐射衰变宽带能达到数个keV,大多数磁偶极辐射衰变宽度小于1 个keV,这为实验上通过辐射衰变寻找底奇异介子提供了理论依据。建设中的Belle II 上的实验可以进一步验证我们的结果。We systematically study the radiative transitions of bottom-strange mesons in the framework of the relativistic constituent quark model. The partial widths of the E1 and M1 decays are predicted. The results predict that most of E1 decay widths are several keV and most of M1 decay widths are less than 1 keV,which give a roadmap of searching for the higher bottom-strange mesons via radiative decays. The experimental searches by the forthcoming Belle II can in turn provide further tests to our result in the present work.     

New limits on Primakoff production of hybrid mesons

I discuss constraints on properties of isoscalarJ ^PC =1^?+ exotic hybrid mesons, assuming their dominant decay mode is ηπ. This work expands on a similar study by the Rochester-Minnesota-Fermilab collaboration, which excluded ?π as the dominant decay channel for such hybrids. The experimental limits are based on Primakoff production of such states and on a VDM argument relating their radiative widths to their ?π decay modes. Using data on coherent production of ηπ⁺ systems in π⁺ collisions with nuclei, I obtain few percent limits on the ?π branching ratios for hybrid masses ?1.5 GeV.     

Electromagnetic transition form factors of Λ → <Emphasis Type="Italic">ne</Emphasis><Superscript>+</Superscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis><Superscript>−</Superscript> weak dilepton decay

Weak radiative decay Λ → ne⁺e^? depends in general on four independent electromagnetic transition form factors. These form factors can be fixed in an extended model of dominance of vector mesons, where the asymptotic behavior of form factors is in agreement with quark counting rules. The dependence of the branching ratio of the Λ → ne⁺e^? decay on the relative weight of four electromagnetic form factors is investigated.     

(η−η′−ι)-mixing,decay and production mechanisms

We present a phenomenological model for meson-glueball mixing and apply it to the mixing of the pseudoscalar mesons η and η′ with the ι(1440)-particle as the prime candidate for a 0^?+-glueball. Using the MIT bag model framework, our model incorporates, among other elements, configuration mixing effects due to virtually excited states, as well as mixing of quark and gluon components. We evaluate the portions of quark antiquark and two-gluon admixtures in η,η′ and ι. The results are used to study various decay and production processes involving these particles. In particular, we calculate the radiative and the 2γ-decay widths of the light mesons and make predictions for the widths of the ι in these channels. Furthermore, production mechanisms of the light mesons in electromagnetic and hadronicJ/ψ-decays are used to evaluate the branching ratios for the production of the ι in variousJ/ψ-transitions. Our results are generally in reasonable agreement with experimental data. Especially we predict a rather large width for the decay ι→ργ and a sizable production rate for the ι in the transitionJ/ψ→ωι.     

Radiative B* meson decays in QCD sum rules

The decay constant g _B* of the B* mesons and the transition amplitudes of the radiative decays $B_{a}^{?t}?ghtarrow B_{a}αmma$are calculated in the frame-work of QCD sum rules. It is shown that the decay rates B* → Bγ are one order smaller than the corresponding D* meson decays.     

Enhanced electroweak penguin amplitude in B-->VV decays

We discuss a novel electromagnetic penguin contribution to the transverse helicity amplitudes in B decays to two vector mesons, which is enhanced by two powers of mB/Lambda relative to the standard penguin amplitudes. This leads to unique polarization signatures in penguin-dominated decay modes such as B-->rhoK* similar to polarization effects in the radiative decay B-->K*gamma and offers new opportunities to probe the magnitude and chirality of flavor-changing neutral current couplings to photons.     

Production of P-wave charmonium states in two-particle decays of B c mesons

On the basis of the model of hard one-gluon exchange, the two-particle hadronic decays of B _c mesons into S-and P-wave charmonium states, B _c → X _cc π(ρ), are considered at high momentum transfers and in the nonrelativistic approximation. It is shown that the width with respect to B _c-meson decay into S-wave charmonium states is two times greater than the width with respect to B _c-meson decay into P-wave states and that the yield of J/ψ mesons in the cascade processes of B _c-meson decay via the formation and radiative decay of P-wave charmonium states is approximately 8% of the yield of directly produced J/ψ mesons.     

Dynamics of strong and radiative decays of Ds-mesons in the hadrogenesis conjecture

The positive parity scalar D*s0(2317) and axial-vector D*s1(2460) charmed strange mesons are generated by coupled-channel dynamics through the s-wave scattering of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar and vector D(Ds)-meson ground states. The specific masses of these states are obtained as a consequence of the attraction arising from the Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction in the chiral Lagrangian. Chiral corrections to order Q2χ are calculated and found to be small. The D*s0(2317) and D*s1(2460) mesons decay either strongly into the isospin-violating π0Ds and π0D*s channels or electromagnetically. We show that the π0-η and (K0D+-K+D0) mixings act constructively to generate strong widths of the order of 140 keV and emphasize the sensitivity of this value to the KD component of the states. The one-loop contribution to the radiative decay amplitudes of scalar and axial-vector states is calculated using the electromagnetic Lagrangian to chiral order Q2χ. We show the importance of taking into account processes involving light vector mesons explicitly in the dynamics of electromagnetic decays. The radiative width are sensitive to both η Ds and KD components, hence providing information complementary to the strong widths on the positive parity Ds-meson structure.

Perturbative QCD and the exclusive decay of heavy quarkonium into a photon and two mesons

We consider the radiative decays of the ³S₁ ground state Q$\text{Q}$ into a real photon and two light pseudoscalar or vector mesons. For sufficiently large mass of the heavy quark Q, the decay, e.g. ? → γππ, can be calculated in perturbative QCD, provided that the photon does not carry away a predominant fraction of the available energy. We present differential and integrated Dalitz plot distributions and, for quarkonium states produced with transverse polarization in e⁺e^? annihilation, angular distributions of the orientation of the decay triangle relative to the beam direction.     

Chiral Lagrangian Treatment of 0^＋＋ Mesons and 0^＋＋ Glueballs

Within the framework of a nonlinear chiral Lagrangian the mass spectra and the decay properties of 0^＋＋ states below 2 GeV are studied. Assuming that f0（980）, a0（980）, K0（1430）, and f0（1500） comprise an SU（3） nonet, we make a detailed prediction about the static properties of the 0^＋＋ mesons. The substructure analysis of these states in terms of two- and four-quark components as well as a glueball component is carried out. We also consider the interaction Lagrangian and provide a preliminary study of the strong and radiative decays of the 0＋＋ mesons. The scalar glueball masses and partial widths are also presented. In view of the fact that few data of 0＋＋ mesons are clearly given in the present PDG （Particle Data Group） list and that the four-quark content of mesons is a hot issue both experimentally and theoretically, the predicted results of the paper may be helpful for upcoming experimental and theoretical studies of these mesons.     

Vector meson radiative decay in lattice QCD

The amplitude for radiative decay of vector mesons is calculated in quenched lattice quantum chromodynamics using the Wilson scheme for fermions. The calculated decay strengths are consistently smaller than experimentally measured values at all values of the quark mass.     

Prompt isothermal decay of thermoluminescence in MgB4O7:Dy,Na and LiB4O7:Cu,In dosimeters

According to standard delocalized kinetic models of thermoluminescence (TL), when an irradiated sample is held at a high temperature T, the isothermal TL signal will decay with a characteristic thermal decay constant λ which depends strongly on the temperature T. This prediction of standard delocalized kinetic theory is investigated in this paper by studying two TL dosimeters, MgB₄O₇:Dy, Na and LiB₄O₇:Cu, In (hereafter MBO and LBO correspondingly). In the case of LBO it was found that the thermal decay constant λ of the main dosimetric TL peak follows exactly the predictions of standard delocalized kinetic theory. Furthermore, the thermal activation energy of the main peak evaluated by the isothermal decay method is in full agreement with values obtained from initial rise and glow curve fitting methods. However, in the case of MBO it was found that the thermal decay constant λ varies little with the isothermal decay temperature T. In order to explain these unusual results for MBO, the TL glow curves and isothermal decay curves were analyzed using analytical expressions derived recently from a radiative tunneling recombination model. Based on the different behavior of the two TL dosimeters, it is suggested that the isothermal decay of TL at high temperatures can be used to discriminate between radiative delocalized recombination and radiative localized recombination processes.     

Vector dominance and radiative decays of the new and the old mesons

The radiative decay and photoproduction data of the new and the old vector mesons are described in the framework of a VMD model. The suppression factors over the standard VMD predictions follow a simple empirical systematics -～10 for ψ, 1.5?2 for ø and 1 for ?, ω couplings to photon. This is interpreted in terms of the ranges of extrapolation involved via a simple model.     

Meson loops in the f0(980) and a0(980) radiative decays into ρ , ω

We calculate the radiative decay widths of the a ₀(980) and f ₀(980) scalar mesons into ργ and ωγ considering the dynamically generated nature of these scalar resonances within the realm of the chiral unitary approach. The main ingredient in the evaluation of the radiative width of the scalar mesons are the loops coming from the decay into their constituent pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar components and the subsequent radiation of the photon. The dominant diagrams with only pseudoscalar mesons in the loops are found to be convergent while the divergence of those with a vector meson in the loop are written in terms of the two-meson loop function easily regularizable. We provide results for all the possible charge channels and obtain results, with uncertainties, which differ significantly from quark loops models and some version of vector meson dominance.
