Magnetic moments ofb-quark baryons in broken SU(5) symmetry

The magnetic moments ofb-quark baryons within the framework of five quark models are derived. Also the transition magnetic moments of variousb-quark baryons are calculated.     

Toward discovering low-lying P-wave excited Σc baryon states

In this study, by combining the equal spacing rule with recent observations of \begin{document}$ \Omega_c(X) $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ \Xi_c(X) $\end{document} baryons, we predict the spectrum of the low-lying \begin{document}$ \lambda $\end{document}-mode \begin{document}$ 1P $\end{document}-wave excited \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c $\end{document} states. Furthermore, their strong decay properties are predicted using the chiral quark model and the nature of \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2800) $\end{document} is investigated by analyzing the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c\pi $\end{document} invariant mass spectrum. The \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2800) $\end{document} structure observed in the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c \pi $\end{document} mass spectrum was found to potentially arise from two overlapping \begin{document}$ P $\end{document}-wave \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c $\end{document} resonances, \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2813)3/2^- $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2840)5/2^- $\end{document}. These resonances have similar decay widths of \begin{document}$ \Gamma\sim 40 $\end{document} MeV and predominantly decay into the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c \pi $\end{document} channel. The \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c(2755)1/2^- $\end{document} state is likely to be a very narrow state with a width of \begin{document}$ \Gamma\sim 15 $\end{document} MeV, with its decays almost saturated by the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c \pi $\end{document} channel. Additionally, evidence of the \begin{document}$\Sigma_c(2755) {1}/{2}^-$\end{document} resonance as a very narrow peak may be seen in the \begin{document}$ \Lambda_c\pi $\end{document} invariant mass spectrum. The other two \begin{document}$ P $\end{document}-wave states, \begin{document}$\Sigma_c(2746) {1}/{2}^-$\end{document} and \begin{document}$\Sigma_c(2796) {3}/{2}^-$\end{document}, are relatively narrow states with similar widths of \begin{document}$ \Gamma\sim 30 $\end{document} MeV and predominantly decay into \begin{document}$ \Sigma_c\pi $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ \Sigma^{*}_c\pi $\end{document}, respectively. This study can provide useful references for discovering these low-lying \begin{document}$ P $\end{document}-wave states in forthcoming experiments.     

Measurement of the absolute branching fraction of D+→K0e+ve via K0→π0π0

By analyzing 2.93 fb^-1 data collected at the center-of-mass energy √s=3.773 GeV with the BESIII detector, we measure the absolute branching fraction of the semileptonic decay D⁺→K⁰e⁺v_e to be B(D⁺→K⁰e⁺v_e)=(8.59±0.14±0.21)% using K⁰→K_S⁰→π⁰π⁰, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. Our result is consistent with previous measurements within uncertainties..     

Extraction of radiative decay width for the non-strange partner of Θ

Using the results of the GRAAL Collaboration on the η photoproduction from the neutron target, we attempt to extract the partial radiative width of the possible new nucleon resonance N ^*(1675). The obtained estimates support this resonance to be a very attractive candidate for the non-strange member of the exotic antidecuplet of baryons --a partner of the Θ⁺ pentaquark. Our phenomenological value for the transition magnetic moment μ(n ^* n), appears to be in good agreement with the predictions of the Chiral Quark Soliton Model.     

D* D1 and D D'*(2600) interactions and the charged charmonium-like state Z(4430)

The D^*D₁(2420) and DD'^*(2600) interactions are studied in a one-boson-exchange model. Isovector bound state solutions with spin parity J^P=1⁺ are found from the D^*D₁(2420) interaction, which may be related to the observed charged charmonium-like state Z(4430). There is no bound state solution found from the DD'^*(2600) interaction.     

Photoproduction of $ \eta$ -mesons off neutrons from a deuteron target

A formalism is developed for the partial-wave analysis of data on meson photoproduction off deuterons and applied to photoproduction of and mesons. Different interpretations of a dip-bump structure of the photoproduction cross-section in the 1670MeV region are presented and discussed. Helicity amplitudes for two low-mass S₁₁ states are determined.     

Charmed baryon heavy-quark resonances with symmetry

We study charmed baryon resonances that are generated dynamically from a coupled-channel unitary approach that implements heavy-quark symmetry. Some states can already be identified with experimental observations, such as Ac（2595）, Ac（2660）, Ec（2902） or Ac（2941）, while others need a compilation of more experimental data as well as an extension of the model to include higher order contributions. We also compare our model to previous SU（4） schemes.     

A note on ■_c(3055)~ and ■_c(3123)~

The Babar Collaboration announced two new excited charmed baryons■_c(3055)~ and■_c(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 ■_c(3055)~ and■_c(3123)~ .We also suggest some possible decay modes,which will be helpful to determine the properties of■_c(3055)~ and■_c(3123)~ .
