Study on Production of Exotic 0^＋ Meson D＇^＊aj（2317） in Decays of ψ（4415）

The newly observed D^＊aj family containing D^＊aj（2317）, Daj（2460）, and Daj（2632） attracts great interests. Determining their structures may be an important task for both theorists and experimentalists. In this work we use a non-relativistic model （the harmonic oscillator model） to evaluate the production rate of D^＊aj （2317） from the decays of ψ（4415）. For a comparison, we a/so employ the widely adopted heavy quark effective theory to repeat the calculation. We lind that the rate is sizable and may be observed at BES III and CLEO, if it is a p-wave excited state of Da（1968）. Unfortunately, the other two members of the family cannot be observed through decays of charmonia, because of the constraints from the final state phase space.     

QQqq Four-Quark Bound States in Chiral SU（3） Quark Model

Abstract The possibility of QQqq heavy-light four-quark bound states has been analyzed by means of the chiral SU（3） quark model, where Q is the heavy quark （c or b） and q is the light quark （u, d, or s）. We obtain a bound state for the bbnn configuration with quantum number JR=1^＋, I = 0 and for the ccnn （JR=1^＋, I=O） configuration, which is not bound but slightly above the D^＊ D^＊ threshold （n is u or d quark）. Meanwhile, we also conclude that a weakly bound state in bbnn system can also be found without considering the ehiral quark interactions between the two light quarks, yet its binding energy is weaker than that with the chiral quark interactions.     

Molecular and compact four-quark states

We study charmonium （ccnn）,bottomonium （b bnn） and exotic （ccnn and bbnn） four-quark states by means of a standard non-relativistic quark potential model.We look for possible bound states.Among them we are able to distinguish between meson-meson molecules and compact four-quark states.     

Study on Production of Exotic 0 Meson D*sJ(2317) in Decays of ψ(4415)

The newly observed D*sJ family containing D*sJ(2317), DsJ(2460), and DsJ(2632) attracts great interests.Determining their structures may be an important task for both theorists and experimentalists. In this work we use a non-relativistic model (the harmonic oscillator model) to evaluate the production rate of D*sJ (2317) from the decays of ψ(4415). For a comparison, we also employ the widely adopted heavy quark effective theory to repeat the calculation.We find that the rate is sizable and may be observed at BES Ⅲ and CLEO, if it is a p-wave excited state of Ds (1968).Unfortunately, the other two members of the family cannot be observed through decays of charmonia, because of the constraints from the final state phase space.     

Five-quark components in N＊（1535）

Here we employ the extended chiral constituent quark model to investigate the five-quark components in the N＊ （1535） resonance. The axial charge of N＊（1535） and the electromagnetic transition γ＊N → N＊（1535） are also analyzed. The results show that there may be sizable strangeness component in N＊（1535）.     

Dynamical study of the possible molecular state X（3872） with the s-channel one gluon exchange interaction

The recently observed X（3872） resonance, which is difficult to assign a conventional cc charmonium state in the quark model, may be interpreted as a molecular state. Such a molecular state is a hidden flavor four quark state because of its charmonium-like quantum numbers. The s-channel one gluon exchange is an interaction which only acts in the hidden flavor multi-quark system. In this paper, we will study the X（3872） and other similiar hidden flavor molecular states in a quark model by taking into account the s-channel one gluon exchange interaction.     

Dynamics of strong and radiative decays of D_s-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（D s ）-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 Q 2 χ are calculated and found to be small.The D ＊ s0 （2317） and D ＊ s1 （2460） mesons decay either strongly into the isospin-violating π 0 D s and π 0 D ？ s channels or electromagnetically.We show that the π 0-η and （K^ 0 D ^＋-K^ ＋ D^ 0 ） 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 Q 2 χ .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 D s and KD components,hence providing information complementary to the strong widths on the positive parity D s-meson structure.     

Phase Transitions in Neutron Stars Within Modified Quark-Meson Coupling Model

K^- condensation and quark deconfinement phase transitions in neutron stars are investigated. We use the modified quark-meson coupling model for hadronic phase and the MIT bag model for quark phase. With the equation of state （EOS） solved self-consistently, we discuss the properties of neutron stars. We find that the EOS of pure hadron matter with condensed K- phase should be ruled out by the redshift for star EX00748-676, while EOS containing unpaired quark matter phase with B1/4 being about 180 MeV could be consistent with both this observation and the best measured mass of star PSR 1913 ＋ 16. But if the recent inferred massive star among Terzan 5 with M 〉 1.68M is confirmed, all the present EOSes with condensed phase and deconfined phase would be ruled out.     

Nature of light scalars through photon-photon collisions

The surprising thing is that arising almost 50 years ago from the linear sigma model （LSM） with spontaneously broken chiral symmetry, the light scalar meson problem has become central in the nonperturbative quantum chromodynamics （QCD） for it has been made clear that LSM could be the low energy realization of QCD. First we review briefly signs of four-quark nature of light scalars. Then we show that the light scalars are produced in the two photon collisions via four-quark transitions in contrast to the classic P wave tensor qq mesons that are produced via two-quark transitions γγ→qq. Thus we get new evidence of the four-quark nature of these states.     

Production Rate of Ds+Ds- at φ(4030)

By using a generalized relativistic quark pair creation model (QPCM), the hadronic decay processes of φ(4030), assigned as the 3S state of cc, are investigated. The relative rates of φ(4030) → DD, DD^*+DD^*, D^*D^*,and in particular D_s⁺D_s^- are calculated and compared with data. The nodes of the radially excited wavefunctions of charmonium states are found to be significant for these decay processes. Considering the SU(3) suppression factor of ~3 for the s quark pair creation relative to the u and d quarks, we obtain σ(e⁺e^- → φ4(4030) → D_s⁺D_s^-) ~ 0.9 nb.     

Radiative Decay Bc→ Ds*γ in the Technicolor with a Massless Scalar Doublet Model

Applying perturbative QCD, we study the process B_c→D_s^*γ in the technicolor with a massless scalar doublet model (TCMLSM). There are mainly two mechanisms contributing to the B_c→ D_s^*γ process. One proceeds through the short distance b→sγ transition and the other through weak annihilation accompanied by a photon emission. We find that, compared with the standard model, the modification of B_c→ D_s^*γ from π_p (the physical pions in the TCMLSM) is so small that can be neglected for the allowed mass of π_p. The weak-annihilation contribution is found to be about one order larger than that of the electromagnetic penguin diagrams.     

Topcolor-Assisted Technicolor and the Decay Bc → Ds*γ

Applying the perturbative QCD method, we study the process B_c → D_s^*γ in the topcolor-assisted technicolor model (TATCM), and compare the results with those estimated in the standard model (SM). There are two mechanisms which contribute to the B_c → D_s^*γ process. One proceeds through the short distance b → sγ transition, the other through weak annihilation accompanied by a photon emission. The contribution of weak annihilation is found to be much more important than that of tlie electromagnetic penguin in the TATCM, and the branching ratio, BR (B_c → D_s^*γ), is much smaller than that in the SM.     

QQqq Four-Quark Bound States in Chiral SU(3) Quark Model

The possibility of QQqq heavy-light four-quark bound states has been analyzed by means of the chiral SU(3) quark model, where Q is the heavy quark (c or b) and q is the light quark (u, d, or s). We obtain a bound state for the bbnn configuration with quantum number J^P=1⁺,I=0 and for the ccnn (J^P=1⁺,I=0) configuration, which is not bound but slightly above the D^*D^* threshold (n is u or d quark). Meanwhile, we also conclude that a weakly bound state in bbnn system can also be found without considering the chiral quark interactions between the two light quarks, yet its binding energy is weaker than that with the chiral quark interactions.     

The New Clue to Understanding fo(975) Meson From Ds Decays

Based on the understanding of nonleptonic decays of charmed meson, the relative ratio Br(D_s⁺→f₀(975)π⁺/Br(D_s⁺→фπ⁺) is calculated. We argue that only (ss) component of f₀(975) contributes to it dominantly. The numerical result proves f₀(975) to be almost a pure (ss) state if the newly measured resultant value of the decay is trustable, and the conclusion is very usefulinformation as a clue for clarifying up the puzzle of 0⁺⁺ meson f₀(975).     

Understanding DsJ(2317)

We analyze the hadronic and radiative decay modes of the recently observed D_sJ(2317) meson, in the hypothesis that it can be identified with the scalar state of spectrum (D_s0). The method is based on heavy quark symmetries and vector meson dominance ansatz. We find that the hadronic isospin violating mode D_s0→D_sπ⁰ is enhanced with respect to the radiative mode D_s0→D_s^*γ. The estimated width of the meson is Γ(D_s0)7 keV.     

Higher order QCD and quark mass corrections to the Z widths in the standard model

We estimate, in the scheme, the strenghts of the higher order QCD (_s², _s³) and quark mass (m_f², m_f⁴, _s(m_f², m_f⁴)) corrections to the Z widths in the standard model (SM). Then, we give improved SM predictions of these widths. The observables Γ_H/Γ_e and σ_H, which can be predicted and measured accurately are almost insensitive to the changes of the Higgs ( 40 GeV M_H 1 TeV) and top quark (M_zM_t230 GeV) masses. Then, they should be useful in the high precision tests of the SM> Improved estimates of some quantities related to the width which are sensitive to the top quark mass are also given.
