A possible explanation of the threshold enhancement in the process e~+e~-→∧■

Inspired by the recent measurement of the process e~+e~-→∧■,we calculate the mass spectrum of the 0 meson with the GI model.For the excited vector strangeonium states ?(3 S,4 S,5 S,6 S) and ?(2 D,3 D,4 D,5 D),we investigate the electronic decay width with the Van Royen-Weisskopf formula,and the partial widths of the ∧■,■,and■ decay modes with the extended quark-pair creation model.We find that the electronic decay width of the D-wave vector strangeonium is about 3～8 times larger than of the S-wave vector strangeonium.Around 2232 Me V,the partial decay width of the ∧■ mode can be up to several MeV for ?(3~3 S_1),while the partial ∧■ decay width of ?(2~3 D_1) is O(10~(-3)) keV.If the threshold enhancement reported by the BESIII collaboration arises from the strangeonium meson,this state is very likely the ?(3~3 S_1) state.We also note that the ∧■ and∑~+■partial decay widths of the states ?(3~3 D_1) and ?(4~3 S_1) are several MeV,which is sufficient to be observed in future experiments.     

Measuring DO-D-O mixing in D→Fo(980)K* and more

We investigate the DO-D-O mixing through the doubly Cabibbo suppressed (DCS) channel DO→fO(980)K*O and its charge conjugate channel,in which the K*O meson is reconstructed in both K+π- and KsπO final state.Although the decay DO→ fo(980)K* has a small branching ratio,the final state mesons are relatively easy to identify.The fo(980) meson can be replaced by the S-wave π+π- state,or a longitudinally polarized vector meson pO.All mixing parameters,including the mass difference and decay width difference,can be extracted by studying the time-dependent decay width of these channels.We show that the method is valid in all regions for mixing parameters and it does not depend on the strong phase difference.     

Measuring D~0-~0mixing in D→f_0(980)K~* and more

We investigate the D0-0 mixing through the doubly Cabibbo suppressed (DCS) channel D0 →f0(980)K0 and its charge conjugate channel, in which the K0 meson is reconstructed in both K π- and KSπ0 final state. Although the decay D0 →f0(980)K* has a small branching ratio, the final state mesons are relatively easy to identify. The f0(980) meson can be replaced by the S-wave π π- state, or a longitudinally polarized vector meson ρ0. All mixing parameters, including the mass difference and decay width difference,can be extracted by studying the time-dependent decay width of these channels. We show that the method is valid in all regions for mixing parameters and it does not depend on the strong phase difference.     

Understanding the structure of d~*(2380) in chiral quark model

The structure and decay properties of d~* have been detailedly investigated in both the chiral SU(3) quark model and the extended chiral SU(3) quark model that describe the energies of baryon ground states and the nucleon-nucleon(NN) scattering data satisfactorily. By performing a dynamical coupled-channels study of the system of ?? and hidden-color channel(CC) with quantum numbers I(J~P) = 0(3~+) in the framework of the resonating group method(RGM), we find that the d~* has a mass of about 2.38-2.42 Ge V and a root-mean-square radius(RMS) of about 0.76-0.88 fm. The channel wave function is extracted by a projection of the RGM wave function onto the physical basis, and the fraction of CC component in the d~* is found to be about 66%-68%, which indicates that the d~* is a hexaquark-dominated exotic state. Based on this scenario the partial decay widths of d~*→dπ~0π~0and d~*→dπ~+π~- are further explicitly evaluated and the total width is then obtained by use of the branching ratios extracted from the measured cross sections of other possible decay channels. Both the mass and the decay width of d~* calculated in this work are compatible with the data(M≈2380 Me V, Γ≈70 Me V) reported by WASA-at-COSY Collaboration.     

Strong decays of the low-lying bottom strange baryons

In this work,the strong decay behaviors of the λ-mode low-lying Ξ_b and Ξ'_b baryons are investigated within the ~3 P_0 model.Our results suggest that all of the low-lying 3_F states Ξ_b(2 S),Ξ_b(1 P),and Ξ_b(1 D) have small decay widths of less than 20 MeV,and these states have good potentials to be observed in the Ξ'_bπ and Ξ'_b~*π invariant masses.Further,most of the 6_F multiplets are relatively narrow and may decay into the Ξ_bπ,Ξ'_bπ,Ξ'_b~*π,and Δ_bK final states.Considering the masses and strong decay behaviors,we can assign the newly observed Ξ_b(6100) resonance as the Ξ_b(1 P) state with J~P=3/2~-and interpret the Ξ_b(6227)structure as the J~P=3/2~-Ξ'_b(1 P) state with a proper mixing angle.We expect that our predictions for these excited bottom strange baryons will provide helpful information for future experimental research.     

The Role of α_1(1260) in π~-p→α_1~-(1260)p and π~-p → π~-ρ~0p Reactions Near Threshold

We report on a theoretical study of the π~-ρ→α1(1260)p and π~-ρ→π~-ρ~0p reactions near threshold within an effective Lagrangian approach.The production process is described by t-channel ρ~0 meson exchange.For the π~-ρ→π~- ρ~0p reaction,the final π~-ρ~0 results from the decay of the α1(1260) resonance,which is assumed as a dynamically generated state from the K* K and ρπ coupled channel interactions.We calculate the total cross section of the π~-ρ→α1(1260)p reaction.It is shown that,with the coupling constant of the α1(1260) to ρπ channel obtained from the chiral unitary theory and a cut off parameter Δρ~1.5 GeV in the form factors,the experimental measurement can be reproduced.Furthermore,the total and differential cross sections of π~p→α1(1260)p→π~ρ~0p reaction are evaluated,and it is expected that our model calculations can be tested by future experiments.These reactions are important for the study of the α1(1260) resonance and would provide further constraints on the properties of the α1(1260) state.     

Radial excitation states of η and η′ in the chiral quark model

A chiral quark model is applied to calculate the spectra of pseudoscalar mesons η and η . By analyzing the obtained spectra, we find that the mesons η (2 1 S 0 ), η(4 1 S 0 ), η (3 1 S 0 ) and η (4 1 S 0 ) are the possible candidates of η(1760), X(1835), X(2120) and X(2370). The strong decay widths of these pseudoscalars to all the possible two-body decay channels are calculated within the framework of the 3 P 0 model. Although the total width of η (21S0 ) is compatible with the BES Collaboration’s experimental value for η(1760), the partial decay width to ωω is too small, which is not consistent with the BES result. If X(1835) is interpreted as η(4 1 S 0 ), the total decay width is compatible with the experimental data, and the main decay modes will be πa 0 (980) and πa 0 (1450), which needs to be checked experimentally. The assignment of X(2120) and X(2370) to η (31S0 ) and η (41S0 ) is disfavored in the present calculation because of the incompatibility of the decay widths.     

Dibaryon Mass and Width Calculation with Tensor Interaction

The effect of tensor interaction due to gluon and Goldstone boson exchange on the dibaryon mass and decay width has been studied in the framework of the quark delocalization and colour screening model. The effective S-D wave transition interactions induced by gluon and Goldstone boson exchanges decrease quickly with the increasing channel strangeness, and there is no six-quark state in the light flavour world, which can become a bound one by the help of these tensor interactions, except for the deuteron. The K and η meson exchange effect has been shown to be negligible after a short-range truncation in this model approach. The partial D-wave decay widths, from the NΩ state to the AΞ final states of spins 0 and 1, are 20.7 keV and 63.1 keV respectively. This is a very narrow dibaryon resonance, that might be detected in the relativistic heavy ion reaction by the existing RHIC detectors through the reconstruction of the AΞ vertex mass and by the future COMPAS detector at CERNand the FAIR project in Germany.     

Production of P_(cs) (4459) from Ξ_b Decay

Inspired by the P_(cs)(4459) reported by the LHCb collaboration recently,we investigate the P_(cs)(4459) production from Ξ_b decay in a molecular scenario using an effective Lagrangian approach.With different J~P assignments to P_(cs)(4459),the magnitude of branching fractions of Ξ_b→ P_(cs)(4459)K is estimated,which is of the order of 10-4.Together with the decay properties of P_(cs)(4459),the present estimations could be further testified by precise measurements and contribute to a better understanding of the molecular interpretations and the exploration of J~P quantum numbers of P_(cs)(4459).     

Hadronic coupling constants of the lowest hidden-charm pentaquark state,using QCD sum rules with rigorous quark-hadron duality

In this article,we illustrate how to calculate the hadronic coupling constants of the pentaquark states with QCD sum rules based on rigorous quark-hadron quality.We then study the hadronic coupling constants of the lowest diquark-diquark-antiquark type hidden-charm pentaquark state with spin-parity J~P=1/2~-in detail,and calculate the partial decay widths.The total width Г(P_c)=14.32±3.31 MeV is compatible with the experimental value T_(P_c(4312))=9.8±2.7_(-4.5)~(+3.7) MeV from the LHCb collaboration and favors assigning the P_c(4312) to be the [ud][uc]c pentaquark state with J~P=1/2~-.The hadronic coupling constants have the relation ■,and favor the hadronic dressing mechanism.The P_c(4312) may have a diquark-diquark-antiquark type pentaquark core with the typical size of the qqq-type baryon states.The strong couplings to the meson-baryon pairs DE_c lead to some pentaquark molecule components,and the P_c(4312) may spend a rather large time as the DE_c molecular state.     

Oddball Y（4140） as the molecular cousin of Y（3930）

In my talk,we present the dynamical study of Y（4140） and Y（3930） under the D＊s D＊s and D＊ D＊ molecular assignments respectively.The importance to theoretically and experimentally study their open-charm decay,hidden-charm decay,radiative decay and double-photon decay is proposed combing with the theoretical calculation of the decay behavior of Y（4140） and Y（3930）.According to the recent new experimental progress made by Belle,we further indicate the reasonability of molecular explanation to Y（4140）.Another event cluster around 4270 MeV in the J/ψφ invariant mass spectrum of B → KJ/ψφ can provide us more hints to reveal the creation mechanism of molecular structure in B meson decay,which will be helpful to clarify the underlying structure of Y（4140） and Y（3930）.     

Measurements of decay branching fractions of H→b■/c■/gg in associated (e~+e~-/μ~+μ~-)H production at the CEPC

The high-precision measurement of Higgs boson properties is one of the primary goals of the Circular Electron Positron Collider(CEPC).The measurements ofH→b■/c■/gg decay branching fraction in the CEPC experiment is presented,considering a scenario of analysing 5000 fb-1 e~+e~-collision data with the center-of-mass energy of 250 Ge V.In this study the Higgs bosons are produced in association with a pair of leptons,dominantly mediated by the ZH production process.The statistical uncertainty of the signal cross section is estimated to be about 1%in theH→b■ final state,and approximately 5%-10%in theH→c■/gg final states.In addition,the main sources of the systematic uncertainties and their impacts to the measurements of branching fractions are discussed.This study demonstrates the potential of precise measurement of the hadronic final states of the Higgs boson decay at the CEPC,and will provide key information to understand the Yukawa couplings between the Higgs boson and quarks,which are predicted to be the origin of quarks’masses in the standard model.     

J／φ→γBB Decays and the Quark—pair Creation Model

We generalize the quark-pair creation model to a study of the radiative decays J/φ→γBB by assuming that the u.d,or s quark pairs are created with the same interaction strength,From the calculation of the ratio of the decay widths （J/φ→γpp)/Γ（J/φ→pp),we extract the quark-pari creation strength gI=15.40GeV,Based on the SU(6)spin-flavour basis and the “uds” basis,the radiative decay branching ratios cotaining strange baryons are evaluated.Measurements for these decay widths from the BESII data are suggested.     

Theoretical study of the radiative decay processes in H~+(D~+,T~+)–Be collisions

The potential energy curves of X~1Σ~+, A~1Σ~+, C~1Σ~+, and B~1Π are calculated with high-level MRDCI method, and the calculated spectroscopic constants of those states are in good agreement with most recent experimental data. On the basis of high precision PECs, the radiative processes of H~++ Be collisions are studied by using the fully quantum, optical potential and semiclassical methods in the energy ranges of 10~(-8) eV/u–0.1 eV/u, and the radiative decay, the radiative charge transfer,and the radiative association cross-sections are computed. It is found that the radiative association process is dominant in the energy region of 10~(-8) eV/u–0.02 eV/u, while radiative charge transfer becomes important at higher energies. Rich resonance structures are present in the radiative association and charge transfer cross-sections in the whole energy region considered, which result from the interaction between the quasi-bound rovibrational(J, v) states in the entrance channel with the final continuum state. Significant isotope effects have been found in the radiative decay processes of H~++ Be collisions.     

pp final state interaction in J/ψ →γpp

The phenomenon of the near ppˉ-threshold enhancement observed in the J/ψ→γ pp decay is studied by using the enhancement factor method with a simpler one-pion-exchange potential between p and p. The Jost function caused by the mentioned potential is perturbatively calculated in the zero-th order approximation, and the corresponding enhancement factor is obtained. It is found that such a final state interaction offers an important contribution to the decay width near the ppˉ-threshold, although it is not large enough. To explain the decay data, a phenomenological factor G(p) with the form of 285500/(m 2 π + p 2 ) should be introduced. A further calculation including the p-dependent bare T -matrix, a more realistic N ˉ N potential and the contribution from the higher-order wave functions would provide a better understanding of the decay data and even the existence of the baryonium ppˉ. The near ppˉ-threshold behavior of the decay width in the J/ψ→π 0 pp process is also discussed.     

Analysis of the coupling constants g_(a_0ηπ~0 )and g_(a_0η'π~0) with light-cone QCD sum rules

Abstract In this article, we take the point of view that the light scalar meson a_0(980) is a conventional qq state, and calculate the coupling constants g_(a_0ηπ~0) and g_(a_0η'π~0) with the light-cone QCD sum rules. The central value of the coupling constant g_(a_0ηπ~0) is consistent with that extracted from the radiative decay φ(1020) → a_0(980)γ→ηπ~oγ. The central value and lower bound of the decay width Γ_(α_0→ηπ~0) = 127_(-48)~(+84) MeV are compatible with the experimental data of the total decay width Γ_(α_0(980))= (50-100) MeV from the Particle Data Group with a very model dependent estimation (the decay width can be much larger), while the upper bound is too large. We give a possible explanation for the discrepancy between the theoretical calculation and experimental data.     

The Three-Pion Decays of the a_1(1260)

We investigate the decay of a_1~+(1260) →π~+π~+π~-with the assumption that the a_1(1260) is dynamically generated from the coupled channel ρπ and KK~*interactions. In addition to the tree level diagrams that proceed via a_1~+(1260) →ρ~0π~+→π~+π~+π~-, we take into account also the final state interactions of ππ→ππ and KK →ππ. We calculate the invariant π~+π~-mass distribution and also the total decay width of a_1~+(1260) →π~+π~+π~-as a function of the mass of a_1(1260). The calculated total decay width of a_1(1260) is significantly different from other model calculations and tied to the dynamical nature of the a_1(1260) resonance. The future experimental observations could test of model calculations and would provide vary valuable information on the relevance of the ρπ component in the a_1(1260) wave function.     

A note on Ξc(3055)+ and Ξc(3123)+

The Babar Collaboration announced two new excited charmed baryons Ξc(3055)+ and Ξc(3123)+. We study their strong decays assuming they are D-wave states. Some assignments are excluded by comparing our numerical results with the experimental values of the total widths of Ξc(3055)+ and Ξc(3123)+. We also suggest some possible decay modes, which will be helpful to determine the properties of Ξc(3055)+ and Ξc(3123)+.     

Study of radially excited D_s(2~1S_0) and D_s(3P )

The unobserved J~P= 0~-radial excitation D_s(2~1S_0) is anticipated to have mass 2650 Me V(denoted as D_s(2650)). Study of hadronic production is an important way to identify highly excited states. We study hadronic production of D_s(2650) from higher excited resonances in a3P0 model. Relevant hadronic partial decay widths are found to be very small, which implies it is difficult to observe D_s(2650) in hadronic decays of higher excited resonances. Hadronic decay widths of radially excited D_s(3P) have also been estimated. The total decay widths of four D_s(3P) are large, but the branching ratios in the D_s(2650)η channel are very small, which implies that it seems impossible to observe D_s(2650) in hadronic decays of D_s(3P). The dominant decay channels of the four D_s(3P) have been pointed out, and D_1(2420), D_1(2430), D*2(2460), D(2550), D(2600),(1~1D_2)D(2750) and D_3*(2760) are possible to observe in hadronic production from D_s(3P).
