    K*-charmonium dissociation reactions in hadronic matter are studied in the Born approximation, in the quark-interchange mechanism, and with a temperature-dependent quark potential. We obtain the temperature dependence of the unpolarized cross sections for the reactions K^* J/ψ to bar DD_s^ + ,bar D^* D_s^ + ,bar DD_s^{* + } , and bar D^* D_s^{* + } ; K^* χ _c to bar DD_s^ + ,bar D^* D_s^ + ,bar DD_s^{* + } , and bar D^* D_s^{* + } . We use the cross sections for charmonium dissociation in collisions with pions, ρ mesons, kaons, vector kaons, and η mesons to calculate the dissociation rates of charmonium with five types of mesons. Because of the temperature dependence of the meson masses, dissociation cross sections, and meson distribution functions, the charmonium dissociation rates generally increase with increasing temperature and decrease with increasing charmonium momentum from 2.2 GeV/c. We find that the first derivative of the dissociation rate with respect to the charmonium momentum is zero when the charmonium is at rest. While the η + ψ' and the η + χ c dissociation reactions can be neglected, the J/ ψ, ψ', and χ c dissociations are caused by collisions with pions, ρ mesons, kaons, vector kaons, and η mesons.

    We study the charmonium dissociation in a strongly coupled chiral plasma in the presence of magnetic field and axial charge imbalance. This type of plasma carries "anomalous flow" induced by the chiral anomaly and exhibits novel transport phenomena such as chiral magnetic effect. We found that the "anomalous flow" would modify the charmonium color screening length by using the gauge/gravity correspondence. We derive an analytical expression quantifying the "anomalous flow" experienced by a charmonium for a large class of chiral plasma with a gravity dual. We elaborate on the similarity and it qualitative difference between anomalous effects on the charmoniummore » color screening length which are model-dependent and those on the heavy quark drag force which are fixed by the second law of thermodynamics. As a result, we speculate on the possible charmonium dissociation induced by the chiral anomaly in heavy ion collisions.« less

    Using the charmonium light-front wavefunctions obtained by diagonalizing an effective Hamiltonian with the one-gluon exchange interaction and a confining potential inspired by light-front holography in the basis light-front quantization formalism, we compute production of charmonium states in diffractive deep inelastic scattering and ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions within the dipole picture. Our method allows us to predict yields of all vector charmonium states below the open flavor thresholds in high-energy deep inelastic scattering, proton-nucleus and ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions, without introducing any new parameters in the light-front wavefunctions. The obtained charmonium cross section is in reasonable agreement with experimental data atmore » HERA, RHIC and LHC. We observe that the cross-section ratio σΨ(2s)/σJ/Ψ reveals significant independence of model parameters« less

    The ϕ-charmonium dissociation reactions in hadronic matter are studied. Unpolarised cross sections for , or , , , or , , or and are calculated in the Born approximation, in the quark-interchange mechanism and with a temperature-dependent quark potential. The potential leads to remarkable temperature dependence of the cross sections. With the cross sections and the ϕ distribution function we calculate the dissociation rates of the charmonia in interactions with the ϕ meson in hadronic matter. The dependence of the rates on temperature and charmonium momentum is relevant to the influence of ϕ mesons on charmonium suppression.

    The quark potential models with an energy-independent central potential have been successful for understanding the conventional charmonium states especially below the open charm threshold. As one might consider, however, the interquark potential is in general energy-dependent, and its tendency gets stronger in higher lying states. Confirmation of whether the interquark potential is energy-independent is also important to verify the validity of the quark potential models. In this talk, we examine the energy dependence of the charmonium potential, which can be determined from the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) amplitudes of cc̅ mesons in lattice QCD.We first calculate the BS amplitudes of radially excited charmonium states, the ηc(2S) and ψ(2S) states, using the variational method and then determine both the quark kinetic mass and the charmonium potential within the HAL QCD method. Through a direct comparison of charmonium potentials determined from both the 1S and 2S states, we confirm that neither the central nor spin-spin potential shows visible energy dependence at least up to 2S state.

    The physics of the strong interaction is undoubtedly one of the most challenging areas of modern science. Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) is reproducing successfully the physics phenomena at distances much shorter than the size of the nucleon, where perturbation theory can be used yielding results of high precision and predictive power. At larger distance scales, however, perturbative methods cannot be applied anymore, although spectacular phenomena, such as the generation of hadron masses and quark confinement, occur. Studies using charmed quarks and gluon-rich matter have the potential to connect the perturbative and the non-perturbative QCD region. The annihilation of matter with antimattermore » in the mass regime of charmonium is an ideal environment to discover new states or transitions that could reveal the secrets of the strong interaction. Hadronic and electromagnetic transitions between charmonium states and their decays have been measured with a world-record in precision with the BESIII spectrometer at the electron-positron collider at IHEP Beijing, China. Moreover, unconventional narrow charmonium-rich states have been discovered recently in an energy regime above the open-charm threshold, thereby, possibly initiating a new era in charmonium spectroscopy. The near future experiment, PANDA, at the research facility FAIR in Germany, Darmstadt, will exploit the annihilation of cooled anti-protons with protons to perform charmonium spectroscopy with an incredible precision.

    We present spin-independent and spin-spin interquark potentials for charmonium states, that are calculated using a relativistic heavy quark action for charm quarks on the PACS-CS gauge configurations generated with the Iwasaki gauge action and 2+1 flavors of Wilson clover quark. The interquark potential with finite quark masses is defined through the equal-time Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. The light and strange quark masses are close to the physical point where the pion mass corresponds to Mπ ≈ 156(7) MeV, and charm quark mass is tuned to reproduce the experimental values of ηc and J/ψ states. Our simulations are performed with a lattice cutoff of a-1 ≈ 2.2 GeV and a spatial volume of (3 fm)3. We solve the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation with resulting charmonium potentials as theoretical inputs. The resultant charmonium spectrum below the open charm threshold shows a fairly good agreement with experimental data of well-established charmonium states.

    The QCD mechanisms underlying the exclusive strong decays and hadronic production amplitudes of charmonium remain poorly understood, despite decades of study and an increasingly detailed body of experimental information. One set of hadronic channels of special interest are those that include baryon-antibaryon states. These are being investigated experimentally at BES and CLEO-c in terms of their baryon resonance content, and are also of interest for the future PANDA experiment, in which charmonium and charmonium hybrids will be produced in pp annihilation in association with light mesons. In this paper we develop a simple initial-state light meson emission model of themore » near-threshold associated charmonium production processes pp{yields}{pi}{sup 0}{psi}, and evaluate the differential and total cross sections for these reactions in this model. (Here we consider the states {psi}={eta}{sub c}, J/{psi}, {psi}{sup '}, {chi}{sub 0} and {chi}{sub 1}.) The predicted near-threshold cross section for pp{yields}{pi}{sup 0}J/{psi} is found to be numerically similar to two previous theoretical estimates, and is roughly comparable to the (sparse) existing data for this process. The theoretical charmonium angular distributions predicted by this model are far from isotropic, which may be of interest for PANDA detector design studies.« less

    The masses of the low lying charmonium states, namely, the J / Ψ, Ψ (3686), and Ψ (3770) are shifted downwards due to the second order Stark effect. In p bar +Au collisions at 6-10 GeV we study their in-medium propagation. The time evolution of the spectral functions of these charmonium states is studied with a Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck (BUU) type transport model. We show that their in-medium mass shift can be observed in the dilepton spectrum. Therefore, by observing the dileptonic decay channel of these low lying charmonium states, especially for Ψ (3686), we can gain information about the magnitude of the gluon condensate in nuclear matter. This measurement could be performed at the upcoming PANDA experiment at FAIR.

The charmonium states considered here are J/{psi}, {psi}(2S), and {chi}{sub c1}. Branching fractions for several exclusive final states, a measurement of the decay amplitudes for the B{sup 0} {yields} J/{psi} K* decay, and measurements of the B{sup 0} and B{sup +} masses are presented.

  12. Relativistic corrections to the form factors of Bc into P-wave orbitally excited charmonium

    We investigated the form factors of the Bc meson into P-wave orbitally excited charmonium using the nonrelativistic QCD effective theory. Through the analytic computation, the next-to-leading order relativistic corrections to the form factors were obtained, and the asymptotic expressions were studied in the infinite bottom quark mass limit. Employing the general form factors, we discussed the exclusive decays of the Bc meson into P-wave orbitally excited charmonium and a light meson. We found that the relativistic corrections lead to a large correction for the form factors, which makes the branching ratios of the decay channels B (Bc ± →χcJ (hc) +π± (K±)) larger. These results are useful for the phenomenological analysis of the Bc meson decays into P-wave charmonium, which shall be tested in the LHCb experiments.

  13. Analysis of the charmonium-like states X*(3860), X(3872), X(3915), X(3930) and X(3940) according to their strong decay behaviors

    Inspired by the newly observed state X*(3860), we analyze the strong decay behaviors of some charmonium-like states, X*(3860), X(3872), X(3915), X(3930) and X(3940), with the 3 P 0 model. We carry out our work based on the hypothesis that all of these states are charmonium systems. Our analysis indicates that, as a 0++ charmonium state, X*(3860) can reproduce the experimental data. As for X(3872), it can tentatively be interpreted as the mixture of a {{c}}\\bar{{{c}}} system and a {\\overline{{{D}}}}{{* 0}}{{{D}}}{{0}} molecular state. If we consider X(3940) as a 31 S 0 state, its total width in the present work is much lower than the experimental result. Thus, the 31 S 0 charmonium state seems not to be a good candidate for X(3940). Furthermore, our analysis implies that it is reasonable to assign X(3915) and X(3930) to be the same state, 2++. However, combining our analysis with that in Refs.[14, 71], we speculate that X(3915)/X(3930) might also be the mixture of a {{c}}\\bar{{{c}}} system and a molecular state.

    In the framework of a chiral symmetric model, we expand a U(4)R × U(4)L symmetric linear sigma model with (axial-)vector mesons by including a dilaton field, a scalar glueball, and the pseudoscalar glueball. We compute the decay width of the scalar charmonium state χC0(IP) into a predominantly scalar glueball f0(1710). We calculate the decay width of the pseudoscalar charmonium states ηC(IS) into a predominantly scalar glueball f0(1710) as well as into a pseudoscalar glueball with a mass of 2.6 GeV (as predicted by Lattice-QCD simulations) and with a mass of 2.37 GeV (corresponding to the mass of the resonance X(2370)). This study is interesting for the upcoming PANDA experiment at the FAIR facility and BESIII experiment. Moreover, we obtain the mixing angle between a pseudoscalar glueball, with a mass of 2.6 GeV, and the charmonium state ηC.

    We present spin-independent and spin-spin interquark potentials for the charmonium and charmed-strange mesons, which are calculated in 2 +1 flavor lattice QCD simulations using the PACS-CS gauge configurations generated at the lightest pion mass (Mπ≈156 (7 ) MeV ) with a lattice cutoff of a-1≈2.2 GeV and a spatial volume of (3 fm )3 . For the charm quark, we use a relativistic heavy quark (RHQ) action with fine tuned RHQ parameters, which closely reproduce both the experimental spin-averaged mass and hyperfine splitting of the 1 S charmonium. The interquark potential and the quark kinetic mass, both of which are key ingredients within the potential description of heavy-heavy and heavy-light mesons, are determined from the equal-time Bethe-Salpeter (BS) amplitude. The charmonium potentials are obtained from the BS wave function of 1 S charmonia (ηc and J /ψ mesons), while the charmed-strange potential are calculated from the Ds and Ds* heavy-light mesons. We then use resulting potentials and quark masses as purely theoretical inputs so as to solve the nonrelativistic Schrödinger equation for calculating accessible energy levels of charmonium and charmed-strange mesons without unknown parameters. The resultant spectra below the D D ¯ and D K thresholds excellently agree with well-established experimental data.

    Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), a phase of QCD matter, was the temporary state that all matter had in the universe microseconds after its creation, which has been produced in high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Normally being bound inside a proton or neutron, due to the strong nuclear force, the QGP is a hot ``soup'' of quarks and gluons that move relatively freely. QGP is still a very enigmatic state of matter; therefore, active work is being done in trying to understand what is left behind after this short-lived state of matter disintegrates. This includes the abundance of the charmonium meson that consists of a pair of heavy charm and anticharm quarks. In this study, a QGP simulation called the Parton Cascade Model is used with two different initial conditions to see if charm and anticharm quarks can create a charmonium meson in the expanding QGP. In the simulation, the charm quark pair is initially either correlated, with opposite momenta but same position, or uncorrelated, with random momenta and positions, within the QGP. Understanding the difference of the amount of charmonium mesons produced in these two conditions will be helpful in developing theoretical models for charmonium production in heavy ion collisions and thus determining the properties of QGP from experimental measurements.

  19. Probing the P -wave charmonium decays of Bc meson

    Motivated by the large number of Bc meson decay modes observed recently by several detectors at the LHC, we present a detailed analysis of the Bc meson decaying to the P -wave charmonium states and a light pseudoscalar (P ) or vector (V ) meson within the framework of perturbative QCD factorization. The P -wave charmonium distribution amplitudes are extracted from the n =2 , l =1 Schrödinger states for a Coulomb potential, which can be taken as the universal nonperturbative objects to analyze the hard exclusive processes with P -wave charmonium production. It is found that these decays have large branching ratios of the order of 10-5˜10-2 , which seem to be in the reach of future experiments. We also provide predictions for the polarization fractions and relative phases of Bc→(χc 1,χc 2,hc)V decays. It is expected that the longitudinal polarization amplitudes dominate the branching ratios according to the quark helicity analysis, and the magnitudes and phases of parallel polarization amplitude are approximately equal to the perpendicular ones. The obtained results are compared with available experimental data, our previous studies, and numbers from other approaches.

    We present results on transverse momentum (p T) and rapidity (y) differential production cross sections, mean transverse momentum and mean transverse momentum square of inclusive J/ψ and ψ(2S) at forward rapidity (2.5 < y < 4) as well as ψ(2S)-to-J/ψ cross section ratios. These quantities are measured in pp collisions at center of mass energies √s = 5.02 and 13 TeV with the ALICE detector. Both charmonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel, using the muon spectrometer. A comprehensive comparison to inclusive charmonium cross sections measured at √s = 2.76, 7 and 8 TeV is performed. A comparisonmore » to non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics and fixed-order next-to-leading logarithm calculations, which describe prompt and non-prompt charmonium production respectively, is also presented. A good description of the data is obtained over the full p T range, provided that both contributions are summed. In particular, it is found that for p T > 15 GeV/c the non-prompt contribution reaches up to 50% of the total charmonium yield.« less

    We present results on transverse momentum ([Formula: see text]) and rapidity ([Formula: see text]) differential production cross sections, mean transverse momentum and mean transverse momentum square of inclusive [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] at forward rapidity ([Formula: see text]) as well as [Formula: see text]-to-[Formula: see text] cross section ratios. These quantities are measured in pp collisions at center of mass energies [Formula: see text] and 13 TeV with the ALICE detector. Both charmonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel, using the muon spectrometer. A comprehensive comparison to inclusive charmonium cross sections measured at [Formula: see text], 7 and 8 TeV is performed. A comparison to non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics and fixed-order next-to-leading logarithm calculations, which describe prompt and non-prompt charmonium production respectively, is also presented. A good description of the data is obtained over the full [Formula: see text] range, provided that both contributions are summed. In particular, it is found that for [Formula: see text] GeV/ c the non-prompt contribution reaches up to 50% of the total charmonium yield.

  2. Internal Charmonium Evolution in the Quark-Gluon Plasma

    2017-08-01

    We employ a time-dependent Schrödinger equation to study the evolution of a c c ‾ dipole in a quark-gluon plasma (QGP). Medium effects on the heavy-quark potential in the QGP are found to significantly affect the timescales of the internal evolution of the dipole. Color-screening can enhance the overlap of the expanding wavepackage with excited states at high temperature, while it is reduced at lower temperatures where the dipole favors the formation of the charmonium ground state. We investigate the consequences of this mechanism on the double ratio of charmonium nuclear modification factors, RAAψ (2 S) /RAAJ/ψ, in heavy-ion collisions. The impact of the transition mechanisms on this ratio turns out to be rather sensitive to the attractive strength of the potential, and to its temperature dependence.

    The interquark potential in charmonium states is calculated in both the zero and nonzero temperature phases from a first-principles lattice QCD calculation. Simulations with two dynamical quark flavors are used with temperatures T in the range 0.4Tc≲T≲1.7Tc, where Tc is the deconfining temperature. The correlators of point-split operators are analyzed to gain spatial information about the charmonium states. A method introduced by the HAL QCD Collaboration and based on the Schrödinger equation is applied to obtain the interquark potential. We find a clear temperature dependence with the central potential agreeing with the Cornell potential in the confined phase and becoming flatter (more screened) as the temperature increases past the deconfining temperature. This is the first time the interquark potential has been calculated for realistic quarks at finite temperature.

    We consider transitions from the resonance X(3872) to the {chi}{sub cJ} states of charmonium with emission of one or two pions as a means of studying the structure of the X resonance. We find that the relative rates for these transitions to the final states with different J significantly depend on whether the initial state is a pure charmonium state or a four-quark/molecular state.

    As part of the charmonium formation experiment at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings, we studied the reaction pp-->cc-->γγ in an antiproton momentum scan through the ηc, χ1, and χ2 regions. We report events observed in the ηc and χ2 regions, whilst no event was observed in the χ1 region, as expected for a spin-1 state.

    Since 2003 several states in the charmonium mass region were discovered. While in the conventional c{bar c} spectrum some states are missing, the number of states observed up to now is larger than empty spaces in the c{bar c} spectrum. This, together with other difficulties to explain observed states as a c{bar c} mesons triggered discussions on a possible exotic interpretations. In this proceedings we present current experimental status from B-factories of the so called X, Y and Z states.

The time dependent Schrödinger equation is employed to describe the motion ofmore » $$c\\bar{c}$$ pairs.

    Lattice simulation of charmonium resonances with non-zero momentum provides additional information on the two-meson scattering matrices. However, the reduced rotational symmetry in a moving frame renders a number of states with different JP in the same lattice irreducible representation. The identification of JP for these states is particularly important, since quarkonium spectra contain a number of states with different JP in a relatively narrow energy region. Preliminary results concerning spin-identification are presented in relation to our study of charmonium resonances in flight on the Nf = 2 + 1 CLS ensembles.

    From 2011 to 2014, the BESIII experiment collected about 5 fb -1 data at center-of-mass energies around 4 GeV for the studies of the charmonium-like and higher excited charmonium states. By analyzing the di-muon process e +e - → γ ISR/FSRμ +μ -, the center-of-mass energies of the data samples are measured with a precision of 0.8 MeV. The center-of-mass energy is found to be stable for most of the time during data taking.

    2018-03-01

    The charmonium-nucleon effective central interactions have been computed by the time-dependent HAL QCD method. This gives an updated result of a previous study based on the time-independent method, which is now known to be problematic because of the difficulty in achieving the ground-state saturation. We discuss that the result is consistent with the heavy quark symmetry. No bound state is observed from the analysis of the scattering phase shift; however, this shall lead to a future search of the hidden-charm pentaquarks by considering channel-coupling effects.

    2018-03-01

    Properties of quarkonia-like states in the charm and bottom sector have been studied in the frame work of relativistic Dirac formalism with a linear confinement potential. We have computed the mass spectroscopy and decay properties (vector decay constant and leptonic decay width) of several quarkonia-like states. The present study is also intended to identify some of the unexplained states as mixed P-wave and mixed S-D-wave states of charmonia and bottomonia. The results indicate that the X(4140) state can be an admixture of two P states of charmonium. And the charmonium-like states X(4630) and X(4660) are the admixed state of S-D-waves. Similarly, the X(10610) state recently reported by Belle II can be mixed P-states of bottomonium. In the relativistic framework we have computed the vector decay constant and the leptonic decay width for S wave charmonium and bottomonium. The leptonic decay widths for the J^{PC} = 1^{-} mixed states are also predicted. Further, both the masses and the leptonic decay width are considered for the identification of the quarkonia-like states.

    We propose a novel type of interpolating field operator, which manifests the hybrid-like configuration that the charm quark-antiquark pair recoils against gluonic degrees of freedom. A heavy vector charmonium-like state with a mass of 4.33(2),GeV is disentangled from the conventional charmonium states in the quenched approximation. This state has affinity for the hybrid-like operators but couples less to the relevant quark bilinear operator. We also try to extract its leptonic decay constant and give a tentative upper limit that it is less than one tenth of that of J/ψ, which corresponds to a leptonic decay width about dozens of eV. The connection of this state with X(4260) is also discussed. The numerical calculations were carried out on Tianhe-1A at the National Supercomputer Center (NSCC) in Tianjin and the GPU cluster at Hunan Normal University.

    2015-09-15

    We perform an exploratory lattice QCD simulation of DD¯ scattering, aimed at determining the masses as well as the decay widths of charmonium resonances above open charm threshold. Neglecting coupling to other channels, the resulting phase shift for DD¯ scattering in p-wave yields the well-known vector resonance ψ(3770). For m π = 156 MeV, the extracted resonance mass and the decay width agree with experiment within large statistical uncertainty. The scalar charmonium resonances present a puzzle, since only the ground state Χc0(1P) is well understood, while there is no commonly accepted candidate for its first excitation. We simulate DD¯ scatteringmore » in s-wave in order to shed light on this puzzle. The resulting phase shift supports the existence of a yet-unobserved narrow resonance with a mass slightly below 4 GeV. A scenario with this narrow resonance and a pole at Χc0(1P) agrees with the energy-dependence of our phase shift. In addition, further lattice QCD simulations and experimental efforts are needed to resolve the puzzle of the excited scalar charmonia.« less

    The nonrelativistic quark model is applied to heavy (nonrelativistic) meson (two-body) systems to obtain sufficiently accurate predictions of the spin-averaged mass levels of the charmonium and bottomonium spectra as an example of the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator. The present calculations do not include any spin dependence, but rather, mass values are averaged for different spins. Results for a charmed quark mass value of 1500 MeV/c-squared show that the simple harmonic oscillator model provides good agreement with experimental values for 3P states, and adequate agreement for the 3S1 states.

    Quarkonium-nucleus systems are composed of two interacting hadronic states without common valence quarks, which interact primarily through multi-gluon exchanges, realizing a color van der Waals force. We present lattice QCD calculations of the interactions of strange and charm quarkonia with light nuclei. Both the strangeonium-nucleus and charmonium-nucleus systems are found to be relatively deeply bound when the masses of the three light quarks are set equal to that of the physical strange quark. Extrapolation of these results to the physical light-quark masses suggests that the binding energy of charmonium to nuclear matter is B < 40 MeV.

    Charmonium spectral functions in vector and pseudoscalar channels at finite temperature are investigated through the complex Borel sum rules and the maximum entropy method. Our approach enables us to extract the peaks corresponding to the excited charmonia, ψ‧ and ηc‧ , as well as those of the ground states, J / ψ and ηc, which has never been achieved in usual QCD sum rule analyses. We show the spectral functions in vacuum and their thermal modification around the critical temperature, which leads to the almost simultaneous melting (or peak disappearance) of the ground and excited states.

    2015-09-01

    Contrary to almost standard opinion that the X(3872) resonance is the D∗0D¯0 + c.c. molecule or the qcq¯c¯ four-quark state, we discuss the scenario where the X(3872) resonance is the cc¯ = χc1(2P) charmonium which “sits on” the D∗0D¯0 threshold. We explain the shift of the mass of the X(3872) resonance with respect to the prediction of a potential model for the mass of the χc1(2P) charmonium by the contribution of the virtual D∗D¯ + c.c. intermediate states into the self energy of the X(3872) resonance. This allows us to estimate the coupling constant of the X(7872) resonance with the D∗0D¯0 channel, the branching ratio of the X(3872) → D∗0D¯0 + c.c. decay, and the branching ratio of the X(3872) decay into all non-D∗0D¯0 + c.c. states. We predict a significant number of unknown decays of X(3872) via two gluon: X(3872) →gluon gluon →hadrons. We suggest a physically clear program of experimental researches for verification of our assumption.

    This experiment has been performed at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings to study the direct formation of charmonium states in antiproton-proton annihilations. The experimental program has partly been devoted to an inclusive scan for overlinepp → J/ψ + X in the range 3520-3530 MeV/ c2. A cluster of five events has been observed in a narrow energy band, centred on the centre of gravity of the 3P J states where the 1P 1 is expected to be. When interpreted as a new resonace, these data yield a mass m = 3525.4±0.8 MeV/ c2.

    The mass splitting between the quarkonium spin-singlet state h (JP C=1+-) and the spin average of the quarkonium spin-triplet states χ (JP C=0++,1++,2++) is seen to be astonishingly small, not only in the charmonium and bottomonium cases where the relevant masses have been measured, but in positronium as well. We find, both in nonrelativistic quark models and in nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD), that this hyperfine splitting is so small that it can be used as a test of the pure Q Q ¯ content of the states. We discuss the 2 P states of charmonium in the vicinity of 3.9 GeV, where the putative exotics X (3872 ) and X (3915 ) have been seen and a new χc 0(2 P ) candidate has been observed at Belle.

    In an experiment performed at the CERN-ISR the direct formation is observed of the χ1 and χ2 charmonium states in proton-antiproton annihiliation. A novel technique provided excellent energy resolution together with small background and reduced systematics. The following values for the masses and total widths of the states were obtained: Λχ1 <3 MeV (95% CL); mχ1 = (3511.3+/-0.4+/-0.4) MeV; Λχ2=(2.6 +1.4-1.0) MeV; mξ2=(3556.9+/-0.4+/-0.5) MeV. First measurements of the partial widths to antiproton-proton are also reported: Λ(χ1-->pp)=57+13-11+/-11) and Λ(χ2-->pp)=(233 +51-45+/-48) eV.

    Radiative transitions between charmonium states offer an insight into the internal structure of heavy-quark bound states within QCD. We compute, for the first time within lattice QCD, the transition form-factors of various multipolarities between the lightest few charmonium states. In addition, we compute the experimentally unobservable, but physically interesting vector form-factors of the {eta}{sub c}, J/{psi} and {chi}{sub c0}. To this end we apply an ambitious combination of lattice techniques, computing three-point functions with heavy domain wall fermions on an anisotropic lattice within the quenched approximation. With an anisotropy {xi} = 3 at a{sub s} {approx} 0.1 fm we findmore » a reasonable gross spectrum and a hyperfine splitting {approx}90 MeV, which compares favorably with other improved actions. In general, after extrapolation of lattice data at non-zero Q{sup 2} to the photopoint, our results agree within errors with all well measured experimental values. Furthermore, results are compared with the expectations of simple quark models where we find that many features are in agreement; beyond this we propose the possibility of constraining such models using our extracted values of physically unobservable quantities such as the J/{psi} quadrupole moment. We conclude that our methods are successful and propose to apply them to the problem of radiative transitions involving hybrid mesons, with the eventual goal of predicting hybrid meson photoproduction rates at the GlueX experiment.« less

    We study the production of C=+ charmonium states X in e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}{gamma}+X at B factories with X={eta}{sub c}(nS) (n=1, 2, 3), {chi}{sub cJ}(mP) (m=1, 2), and {sup 1}D{sub 2}(1D). In the S- and P-wave case, contributions of QED with one-loop QCD corrections are calculated within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD), and in the D-wave case only the QED contribution is considered. We find that in most cases the one-loop QCD corrections are negative and moderate, in contrast to the case of double charmonium production e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}J/{psi}+X, where one-loop QCD corrections are positive and large in most cases.more » We also find that the production cross sections of some of these states in e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}{gamma}+X are larger than that in e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}J/{psi}+X by an order of magnitude even after the negative one-loop QCD corrections are included. We then argue that search for the X(3872), X(3940), Y(3940), and X(4160) in e{sup +}e{sup -}{yields}{gamma}+X at B factories may be helpful to clarify the nature of these states. For completeness, the production of bottomonium states in e{sup +}e{sup -} annihilation is also discussed.« less

    Using a sample of 102x10{sup 6} {Upsilon}(1S) events collected with the Belle detector, we report on the first search for charge-parity-even charmonium and charmoniumlike states in {Upsilon}(1S) radiative decays. No significant {chi}{sub cJ} or {eta}{sub c} signal is observed and 90% C.L. limits on B({Upsilon}(1S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c0})<6.5x10{sup -4}, B({Upsilon}(1S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c1})<2.3x10{sup -5}, B({Upsilon}(1S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c2})<7.6x10{sup -6}, and B({Upsilon}(1S){yields}{gamma}{eta}{sub c})<5.7x10{sup -5} are obtained. The product branching fraction limits B({Upsilon}(1S){yields}{gamma}X(3872))B(X(3872){yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}J/{psi})<1.6x10{sup -6}, B({Upsilon}(1S){yields}{gamma}X(3872))B(X(3872){yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0}J/{psi})<2.8x10{sup -6}, B({Upsilon}(1S){yields}{gamma}X(3915)) B(X(3915){yields}{omega}J/{psi})<3.0x10{sup -6}, and B({Upsilon}(1S){yields}{gamma}Y(4140))B(Y(4140){yields}{phi}J/{psi})<2.2x10{sup -6} are obtained at the 90% C.L. Furthermore, no evidence is found for excited charmonium states below 4.8 GeV/c{sup 2}.

    The h(c)((1)P(1)) state of charmonium has been observed in the reaction psi(2S) --> pi(0)h(c) --> (gammagamma)(gammaeta(c)) using 3.08 x10(6) psi(2S) decays recorded in the CLEO detector. Data have been analyzed both for the inclusive reaction, where the decay products of the eta(c) are not identified, and for exclusive reactions, in which eta(c) decays are reconstructed in seven hadronic decay channels. We find M(h(c)) = 3524.4 +/- 0.6 +/- 0.4 MeV which corresponds to a hyperfine splitting DeltaM(hf)(1P) triple-bond pi(0)h(c)) x B(h(c) --> gammaeta(c)) = (4.0 +/- 0.8 +/- 0.7) x 10(-4).

    Using data collected with the CLEO detector operating at the CESR e+e- collider at sqrt[s]=3.97-4.26 GeV, we investigate 15 charmonium decay modes of the psi(4040), psi(4160), and Y(4260) resonances. We confirm, at 11 sigma significance, the BABAR Y(4260)-->pi+pi- J/psi discovery, make the first observation of Y(4260)--> pi(0)pi(0) J/psi (5.1 sigma), and find the first evidence for Y(4260)-->K+K- J/psi(3.7 sigma). We measure e+e- cross sections at sqrt[s]=4.26 GeV as sigma(pi+pi- J/psi)=58(+12)(-10)+/-4 pb, sigma(pi(0)pi(0) J/psi)=23(+12)(-8)+/-1 pb, and sigma(K+K- J/psi)=9(+9)(-5)+/-1 pb, in which the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Upper limits are placed on other decay rates from all three resonances.

    The nature of resonances and excited states near decay thresholds is encoded in scattering amplitudes, which can be extracted from single-particle and multiparticle correlators in finite volumes. Lattice calculations have only recently reached the precision required for a reliable study of such correlators. The distillation method represents a significant improvement insofar as it simplifies quark contractions and allows one to easily extend the operator basis used to construct interpolators. We present preliminary results on charmonium bound states and resonances on the Nf = 2+1 CLS ensembles. The long term goal of our investigation is to understand the properties of the X resonances that do not fit into conventional models of quark-antiquark mesons. We tune various parameters of the distillation method and the charm quark mass. As a first result, we present the masses of the ground and excited states in the 0++ and 1- channels

    Very recently, a new charmonium-like state X(3823) was observed by the Belle and BESIII experiments, which is a good candidate of D-wave charmonium ψ(13D2). Since the X(3872) is just below the DD¯ * threshold, the decay X(3823) → J/ψπ +π - can be a golden channel to test the significance of coupled-channel effects. In this work, this decay is considered including both the hidden-charm dipion and the usual QCDME contributions. The partial decay width, the dipion invariant mass spectrum distribution dΓ[X(3823) → J/ψπ +π - ]/dmπ +π - , and the corresponding dΓ[X(3823) → J/ψπ +π - ]/d cos θmore » distribution are computed. Many parameters are determined from existing experimental data, leaving the results mainly dependent on only one unknown phase between the QCDME and hidden-charm dipion amplitudes.« less

    The inclusive production of the ψ(2S) charmonium state was studied as a function of centrality in p-Pb collisions at the nucleon-nucleon center of mass energy {√{s}}_{NN}=5.02 TeV at the CERN LHC. The measurement was performed with the ALICE detector in the center of mass rapidity ranges -4 .46 < y cms < -2 .96 and 2 .03 < y cms < 3 .53, down to zero transverse momentum, by reconstructing the ψ(2S) decay to a muon pair. The ψ(2S) production cross section σ ψ(2S) is presented as a function of the collision centrality, which is estimated through the energy deposited in forward rapidity calorimeters. The relative strength of nuclear effects on the ψ(2S) and on the corresponding 1S charmonium state J/ ψ is then studied by means of the double ratio of cross sections [σ ψ(2S) /σJ/ ψ ]pPb /[σ ψ(2S) /σJ/ ψ ]pp between p-Pb and pp collisions, and by the values of the nuclear modification factors for the two charmonium states. The results show a large suppression of ψ(2S) production relative to the J/ ψ at backward (negative) rapidity, corresponding to the flight direction of the Pb-nucleus, while at forward (positive) rapidity the suppressions of the two states are comparable. Finally, comparisons to results from lower energy experiments and to available theoretical models are presented. [Figure not available: see fulltext.

  11. Near-threshold J/ψ-meson photoproduction on nuclei

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Paryev, E. Ya.; Kiselev, Yu. T., E-mail: yurikis@itep.ru

    On the basis of the first-collision model that relies on the nuclear spectral function and which includes incoherent processes involving charmonium production in proton–nucleon collisions, the photoproduction of J/ψ mesons on nuclei is considered at energies close to the threshold for their production on a nucleon. The absorption of final J/ψ mesons, their formation length, and the binding and Fermi motion of target nucleons are taken into account in this model along with the effect of the nuclear potential on these processes. The A dependences of the absolute and relative charmonium yields are calculated together with absolute and relative excitationmore » functions under various assumptions on the magnitude of the cross section for J/ψN absorption, the J/ψ-meson formation length, and their inmedium modification. It is shown that, at energies above the threshold, these features are virtually independent of the formation length and the change in the J/ψ-meson mass in nuclear matter but are rather highly sensitive to the cross section for J/ψN interaction. The calculations performed in the present study can be used to determine the unknown cross section for J/ψ-meson absorption in nuclei from a comparison of their results with data expected from experiments in the Hall C of the CEBAF (USA) facility upgraded to the energy of 12 GeV. It is also shown that the absolute and relative excitation functions for J/ψ mesons in photon–nucleus reactions at subthreshold energies are sensitive to the change in the meson mass and, hence, carry information about the properties of charmonium in nuclear matter.« less

    The X(3872) with quantum numbers J{sup PC}=1{sup ++} is considered as a composite hadronic state comprised of the dominant molecular D{sup 0}D*{sup 0} component and other hadronic pairs--D{sup {+-}}D*{sup {+-}}, J/{psi}{omega}, and J/{psi}{rho}. Applying the compositeness condition we constrain the couplings of the X(3872) to its constituents. We calculate two- and three-body hadronic decays of the X(3872) to charmonium states {chi}{sub cJ} and pions using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach. Next using the estimated XJ/{psi}{omega} and XJ/{psi}{rho} couplings we calculate the widths of X(3872){yields}J/{psi}+h transitions, where h={pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0}, {pi}{sup 0}{gamma}, and {gamma}.

    We present results on inclusivemore » $$J/\\psi$$ and b-quark production in $$p\\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\\sqrt{s}$$ = 1.8 TeV. The results are based on data collected at the D0 experiment during the 1992-1993 FermiLab collider run. There is excellent agreement between the differential $$J/\\psi$$ cross section measured at D0 and that measured at the CDF detector. A measurement of the fraction of $$J/\\psi$$ events due to b-quark decays is presented and we extract from this a measurement of the integrated b-quark cross section. The radiative decays of $$_{Xc}$$ charmonium states into the $$J/\\psi$$ is discussed and we present results on the fraction of $$J/\\psi$$ mesons that are due to $$_{Xc}$$ decays. We also observe that a fraction of promptly produced $$J/\\psi$$ mesons is larger than the measured fraction of $$J/\\psi$$ due to $$_{Xc}$$ decays and is not accounted for by existing charmonium. production models.« less

  15. Quarkonium production in Pb-Pb collisions at √SNN = 5.02 TeV with ALICE

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Francisco, Audrey

    2018-02-01

    Ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions at the Large Hadron Collider provide a unique opportunity to study the properties of matter at extreme energy densities where a phase transition from the hadronic matter to a deconfined medium of quarks and gluons, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) is predicted. Among the prominent probes of the QGP, heavy quarks play a crucial role since they are created during the initial stages of the collision, before the QGP formation, and their number is conserved throughout the partonic and hadronic phases of the collision. The azimuthal anisotropy of charmonium production, quantified using the second harmonic Fourier coefficient (referred to as elliptic flow), provides important information on the magnitude and dynamics of charmonium production. Measurements of the quarkonium nuclear modification factor at forward rapidity and J/ψ elliptic flow in Pb-Pb collisions as a function of centrality, transverse momentum and rapidity will be presented and compared to different collision energy results and available theoretical calculations.

    2018-02-01

    Charmonium states, such as the J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons, are excellent probes of the deconfined state of matter, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in heavy ion collisions. In addition, the measurements in pPb collisions allow to study the cold nuclear matter effects, being crucial to disentangle these from the QGP-related effects in PbPb collisions. In this talk the new nuclear modification factor RAA of prompt and nonprompt J/ψ in PbPb collisions at = 5.02 TeV were presented over a wide kinematic range (3 < pT < 50 GeV/c, |y| < 2.4), and fine event-centrality intervals. The results were compared to those at 2.76 TeV over a similar kinematic range. In addition, new prompt ψ(2S) RAA results at 5.02 TeV were reported. Finally the final prompt and nonprompt J/ψ results, as well as preliminary ψ(2S) results, in pPb collisions at 5.02 TeV, were discussed.

    The decays of χc 2→K+K-π0, KSK±π∓, and π+π-π0 are studied with the ψ (3686 ) data samples collected with the Beijing Spectrometer (BESIII). For the first time, the branching fractions of χc 2→K*K ¯, χc 2→a2±(1320 )π∓/a20(1320 )π0 , and χc 2→ρ (770 )±π∓ are measured. Here, K*K ¯ denotes both K*±K∓ and its isospin-conjugated process K*0K¯ 0+c .c . , and K* denotes the resonances K*(892 ), K2*(1430 ), and K3*(1780 ). The observations indicate a strong violation of the helicity selection rule in χc 2 decays into vector and pseudoscalar meson pairs. The measured branching fractions of χc 2→K*(892 )K ¯ are more than ten times larger than the upper limit of χc 2→ρ (770 )±π∓, which is so far the first direct observation of a significant U -spin symmetry breaking effect in charmonium decays.

    A precision measurement of the mass of the h_{c}(1P1) state of charmonium has been made using a sample of 24.5x10;{6} psi(2S) events produced in e;{+}e;{-} annihilation at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). The reaction used was psi(2S)-->pi;{0}h_{c}, pi;{0}-->gammagamma, h_{c}-->gammaeta_{c}, and the reaction products were detected in the CLEO-c detector. Data have been analyzed both for the inclusive reaction and for the exclusive reactions in which eta_{c} decays are reconstructed in 15 hadronic decay channels. Consistent results are obtained in the two analyses. The averaged results of the present measurements are M(h_{c})=3525.28+/-0.19(stat.)+/-0.12(syst.) MeV, and B(psi(2S)-->pi;{0}h_{c})xB(h_{c}-->gammaeta_{c})=(4.19+/-0.32+/-0.45)x10;{-4}. Using the ;{3}P_{J} centroid mass, DeltaM_{hf}(1P) identical withM(chi_{cJ})-M(h_{c})=+0.02+/-0.19+/-0.13 MeV.

    We investigate the effect of temperature and density on the shift in the masses and decay constants of the pseudoscalar D and B mesons in the nonstrange symmetric medium. We use chiral SU(3) model to calculate the medium modified scalar and isoscalar fields σ, ζ, δ and χ. We use these modified fields to calculate the in-medium quark and gluon condensates by solving the coupled equations of motions in the chiral SU(3) model. We obtain the medium modified mass and decay constant through these medium modified condensates using the QCD sum rules. Further we use the 3P0 model by taking the internal structure of the mesons to calculate the in-medium decay width of the higher charmonium states χ(3556) , ψ(3686) and ψ(3770) to the D D pairs, through the in-medium mass of D meson and neglecting the mass modification of higher charmonium states. We also compare the present data with the previous results. These results of present investigation may be important to explain the possible outcomes of the experiments like CBM, Panda at GSI.

    A precision measurement of the mass of the hc(P11) state of charmonium has been made using a sample of 24.5×106 ψ(2S) events produced in e+e- annihilation at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). The reaction used was ψ(2S)→π0hc, π0→γγ, hc→γηc, and the reaction products were detected in the CLEO-c detector. Data have been analyzed both for the inclusive reaction and for the exclusive reactions in which ηc decays are reconstructed in 15 hadronic decay channels. Consistent results are obtained in the two analyses. The averaged results of the present measurements are M(hc)=3525.28±0.19(stat.)±0.12(syst.)MeV, and B(ψ(2S)→π0hc)×B(hc→γηc)=(4.19±0.32±0.45)×10-4. Using the PJ3 centroid mass, ΔMhf(1P)≡⟨M(χcJ)⟩-M(hc)=+0.02±0.19±0.13MeV.

    The ALICE Collaboration at the LHC has measured the J/ ψ  and ψ ' photoproduction at mid-rapidity in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at [Formula: see text]. The charmonium is identified via its leptonic decay for events where the hadronic activity is required to be minimal. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 23 μb -1 . The cross section for coherent and incoherent J/ ψ  production in the rapidity interval -0.9< y <0.9, are [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], respectively. The results are compared to theoretical models for J/ ψ  production and the coherent cross section is found to be in good agreement with those models incorporating moderate nuclear gluon shadowing at Bjorken- x around 10 -3 , such as EPS09 parametrization. In addition the cross section for the process γγ → e + e - has been measured and found to be in agreement with models implementing QED at leading order.

    Here we present a determination of the strong coupling constant from lattice QCD using the moments of pseudo-scalar charmonium correlators calculated using highly improved staggerered quark action. We obtain a value α s( μ = mc) = 0.3397(56), which is the lowest energy determination of the strong coupling constant so far.

  8. Charmonium resonances in the 3.9 GeV/c2 energy region and the X(3915)/X(3930) puzzle

    An interesting controversy has emerged challenging the widely accepted nature of the X (3915) and the X (3930) resonances, which had initially been assigned to the χc0 (2 P) and χc2 (2 P) c c bar states, respectively. To unveil their inner structure, the properties of the JPC =0++ and JPC =2++ charmonium states in the energy region of these resonances are analyzed in the framework of a constituent quark model. Together with the bare q q bar states, threshold effects due to the opening of nearby meson-meson channels are included in a coupled-channels scheme calculation. We find that the structure of both states is dominantly molecular with a probability of bare q q bar states lower than 45%. Our results favor the hypothesis that X (3915) and X (3930) resonances arise as different decay mechanisms of the same JPC =2++ state. Moreover we find an explanation for the recently discovered M = 3860MeV /c2 as a JPC =0++ 2P state and rediscover the lost Y (3940) as an additional state in the JPC =0++ family.

  11. In-medium pseudoscalar D/B mesons and charmonium decay width

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    2017-05-01

    Using QCD sum rules and the chiral SU(3) model, we investigate the effect of temperature, density, strangeness fraction and isospin asymmetric parameter on the shift in masses and decay constants of the pseudoscalar D and B meson in the hadronic medium, which consist of nucleons and hyperons. The in-medium properties of D and B mesons within the QCD sum rule approach depend upon the quark and gluon condensates. In the chiral SU(3) model, quark and gluon condensates are introduced through the explicit symmetry breaking term and the trace anomaly property of the QCD, respectively and are written in terms of the scalar fields σ, ζ, δ and χ. Hence, through medium modification of σ, ζ, δ and χ fields, we obtain the medium-modified masses and decay constants of D and B mesons. As an application, using {}3P0 model, we calculate the in-medium decay width of the higher charmonium states ψ(3686), ψ(3770) and χ(3556) to the D\\bar{D} pairs, considering the in-medium mass of D mesons. These results may be important to understand the possible outcomes of the high-energy physics experiments, e.g., CBM and PANDA at GSI, Germany.

  12. Thermal behavior of Charmonium in the vector channel from QCD sum rules

    2010-11-01

    The thermal evolution of the hadronic parameters of charmonium in the vector channel, i.e. the J/Ψ resonance mass, coupling (leptonic decay constant), total width, and continuum threshold are analyzed in the framework of thermal Hilbert moment QCD sum rules. The continuum threshold s0 has the same behavior as in all other hadronic channels, i.e. it decreases with increasing temperature until the PQCD threshold s0 = 4mQ2 is reached at T≃1.22Tc (mQ is the charm quark mass). The other hadronic parameters behave in a very different way from those of light-light and heavy-light quark systems. The J/Ψ mass is essentially constant in a wide range of temperatures, while the total width grows with temperature up to T≃1.04Tc beyond which it decreases sharply with increasing T. The resonance coupling is also initially constant beginning to increase monotonically around T≃Tc. This behavior of the total width and of the leptonic decay constant is a strong indication that the J/Ψ resonance might survive beyond the critical temperature for deconfinement, in agreement with some recent lattice QCD results.

    On the basis of perturbative QCD and the relativistic quark model we calculate relativistic and bound state corrections in the pair production of S-wave and P-wave charmonium states. Relativistic factors in the production amplitude connected with the relative motion of heavy quarks and the transformation law of the bound state wave function to the reference frame of the moving S- and P-wave mesons are taken into account. For the gluon and quark propagators entering the production vertex function we use a truncated expansion in the ratio of the relative quark momenta to the center-of-mass energy {radical}(s) up to the secondmore » order. The relativistic treatment of the wave functions makes all such second order terms convergent, thus allowing the reliable calculation of their contributions to the production cross section. Relativistic corrections to the quark bound state wave functions in the rest frame are considered by means of the QCD generalization of the standard Breit potential. It turns out that the examined effects change essentially the nonrelativistic results of the cross section for the reaction e{sup +}+e{sup -{yields}}J/{Psi}({eta}{sub c})+{chi}{sub cJ}(h{sub c}) at the center-of-mass energy {radical}(s)=10.6 GeV.« less

    In the past decade (2004-2015) we addressed the quest for the understanding of how quark confinement works, how it can be dissolved in a limited space-time domain, and what this means: i) for the paradigm of the laws of physics of present day; and, ii) for our understanding of cosmology. The focus of our in laboratory matter formation work has been centered on the understanding of the less frequently produced hadronic particles (e.g. strange antibaryons, charmed and beauty hadrons, massive resonances, charmonium, B c). We have developed a public analysis tool, SHARE (Statistical HAdronization with REsonances) which allows a precisemore » model description of experimental particle yield and fluctuation data. We have developed a charm recombination model to allow for off-equilibrium rate of charmonium production. We have developed methods and techniques which allowed us to study the hadron resonance yield evolution by kinetic theory. We explored entropy, strangeness and charm as signature of QGP addressing the wide range of reaction energy for AGS, SPS, RHIC and LHC energy range. In analysis of experimental data, we obtained both statistical parameters as well as physical properties of the hadron source.

    In this paper, we propose an improved version of the color evaporation model to describe heavy quarkonium production. In contrast to the traditional color evaporation model, we impose the constraint that the invariant mass of the intermediate heavy quark-antiquark pair be larger than the mass of produced quarkonium. We also introduce a momentum shift between the heavy quark-antiquark pair and the quarkonium. Finally, numerical calculations show that our model can describe the charmonium yields as well as the ratio of ψ' over J/ψ better than the traditional color evaporation model.

    Inspired by the present experimental results of charged charmonium-like states Zc+, we present a systematic study of the tetraquark states [c u ][c ¯ d ¯ ] in a color flux-tube model with a multibody confinement potential. Our investigation indicates that charged charmonium-like states Zc+(3900 ) or Zc+(3885 ), Zc+(3930 ) , Zc+(4020 ) or Zc+(4025 ), Z1+(4050 ), Z2+(4250 ), and Zc+(4200 ) can be described as a family of tetraquark [c u ][c ¯d ¯] states with the quantum numbers n 2SL+1 J and JP of 1 3S1 and 1+, 2 3S1 and 1+, 1 5S2 and 2+, 1 3P1 and 1-, 1 5D1 and 1+, and 1 3D1 and 1+, respectively. The predicted lowest mass charged tetraquark state [c u ][c ¯ d ¯ ] with 0+ and 1 1S0 lies at 3780 ±10 MeV /c2 in the model. These tetraquark states have compact three-dimensional spatial configurations similar to a rugby ball with higher orbital angular momentum L between the diquark [c u ] and antidiquark [c ¯d ¯] corresponding to a more prolate spatial distribution. The multibody color flux tube, a collective degree of freedom, plays an important role in the formation of those charged tetraquark states. However, the two heavier charged states Zc+(4430 ) and Zc+(4475 ) cannot be explained as tetraquark states [c u ][c ¯d ¯] in this model approach.

    This paper is devoted to systematic analysis of double charmonium production in exclusive Z-boson decays in the framework of non-relativistic quantum chromodynamics (NRQCD) and leading twist light-cone (LC) models. Theoretical predictions for branching fractions of all considered decays are presented. According to the obtained results in the case of the allowed helicity suppression rule processes, the effect of internal quark motion increases the branching fractions by a factor 1.5, while for forbidden reactions the LC predictions are strictly zero, while NRQCD ones are significantly smaller than for allowed.

    Here, we study the heavy quarkonium within the basis light-front quantization approach. We implement the one-gluon exchange interaction and a confining potential inspired by light-front holography. We adopt the holographic light-front wavefunction (LFWF) as our basis function and solve the non-perturbative dynamics by diagonalizing the Hamiltonian matrix. We obtain the mass spectrum for charmonium and bottomonium. With the obtained LFWFs, we also compute the decay constants and the charge form factors for selected eigenstates. The results are compared with the experimental measurements and with other established methods.

    The SU(N) scalar quantum chromodynamics in two space-time dimensions in the large N limit are studied. This is the model of color gauge fields interacting with scalar quarks. It is found that the consensual properties of the four dimensional QCD, i.e., the infrared slavery, quark confinement, the charmonium picture etc. are all realized. Moreover, the current in this model mimics nicely the behaviors of current in the four dimensional QCD, in contrast to the original model of 't Hooft.

Typical models include the possibility of the low-mass dark gauge bosons of a few GeV and thus making them accessible at the BESIII experiment running at the tau-charm region. The BESIII has recently searched such dark bosons in several decay modes using the high statistics data set collected at charmonium resonaces. This talk will summarize the recent BESIII results of these dark photon searches and related new physics studies.

    2016-12-27

    In this paper, we propose an improved version of the color evaporation model to describe heavy quarkonium production. In contrast to the traditional color evaporation model, we impose the constraint that the invariant mass of the intermediate heavy quark-antiquark pair be larger than the mass of produced quarkonium. We also introduce a momentum shift between the heavy quark-antiquark pair and the quarkonium. Finally, numerical calculations show that our model can describe the charmonium yields as well as the ratio of ψ' over J/ψ better than the traditional color evaporation model.

    Using a data sample of 24.5x10{sup 6} {psi}(2S) the reactions {psi}(2S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub cJ}, {chi}{sub cJ}{yields}{gamma}{gamma} have been studied for the first time to determine the two-photon widths of the {chi}{sub cJ} states of charmonium in their decay into two photons. The measured quantities are B({psi}(2S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c0})xB({chi}{sub c0}{yields}{gamma}{gamma})=(2.17{+-}0.32{+-}0.10)x10{sup -5} and B({psi}(2S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c2})xB({chi}{sub c2}{yields}{gamma}{gamma})=(2.68{+-}0.28{+-}0.15)x10{sup -5}. Using values for B({psi}(2S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c0,c2}) and {gamma}({chi}{sub c0,c2}) from the literature the two-photon widths are derived to be {gamma}{sub {gamma}}{sub {gamma}}({chi}{sub c0})=(2.36{+-}0.35{+-}0.22) keV, {gamma}{sub {gamma}}{sub {gamma}}({chi}{sub c2})=(0.66{+-}0.07{+-}0.06) keV, and R{identical_to}{gamma}{sub {gamma}}{sub {gamma}}({chi}{sub c2})/{gamma}{sub {gamma}}{sub {gamma}}({chi}{sub c0})=0.278{+-}0.050{+-}0.036. The importance of the measurement of R is emphasized. For the forbiddenmore » transition, {chi}{sub c1}{yields}{gamma}{gamma}, an upper limit of {gamma}{sub {gamma}}{sub {gamma}}({chi}{sub c1})<0.03 keV is established.« less

    Using a sample of 158x10{sup 6} {Upsilon}(2S) events collected with the Belle detector, charmonium and charmoniumlike states with even charge parity are searched for in {Upsilon}(2S) radiative decays. No significant {chi}{sub cJ} or {eta}{sub c} signal is observed, and the following upper limits at 90% confidence level (C. L.) are obtained: B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c0})<1.0x10{sup -4}, B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c1})<3.6x10{sup -6}, B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c2})<1.5x10{sup -5}, and B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}{eta}{sub c})<2.7x10{sup -5}. No significant signal of any charmoniumlike state is observed, and we obtain the limits B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}X(3872))xB(X(3872){yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}J/{psi})<0.8x10{sup -6}, B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}X(3872))x B(X(3872){yields}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}{pi}{sup 0}J/{psi})<2.4x10{sup -6}, B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}X(3915))xB(X(3915){yields}{omega}J/{psi})<2.8x10{sup -6}, B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}Y(4140))xB(Y(4140){yields}{phi}J/{psi}))<1.2x10{sup -6}, and B({Upsilon}(2S){yields}{gamma}X(4350))xB(X(4350){yields}{phi}J/{psi}))<1.3x10{sup -6} at 90% C.

    From December 2011 to May 2014, about 5 fb-1 of data were taken with the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies between 3.810 GeV and 4.600 GeV to study the charmonium-like states and higher excited charmonium states. The time-integrated luminosity of the collected data sample is measured to a precision of 1% by analyzing events produced by the large-angle Bhabha scattering process.

    From e{sup +}e{sup -} collision data acquired with the CLEO-c detector at CESR, we search for the non-DD decays {psi}(3770){yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub cJ}, with {chi}{sub cJ} reconstructed in four exclusive decays modes containing charged pions and kaons. We report the first observation of such decays for J=0 with a branching ratio of (0.73{+-}0.07{+-}0.06)%. The rates for different J are consistent with the expectations assuming {psi}(3770) is predominantly a 1{sup 3}D{sub 1} state of charmonium, but only if relativistic corrections are applied.

    In the past three years the groups supported by the DOE have all made significant progress and posted major successes. The Minnesota CMS group has played leading roles in five data analyses and has had major roles in detector operations, the data management and the detector upgrades that are planned for for the LHC and those that are planned for the high-luminosity LHC. The CDMS-II experiment held the lead in WIMP sensitivity over the last decade, and is still the most sensitive detector in the world in the low WIMP mass region, with a recent 3σ hint of 8 GeV/cmore » 2 WIMP candidates in the silicon data. SuperCDMS, with three orders of magnitude better electron recoil background rejection, has been collecting data since October 2011. Since all dark matter experiments require a better understanding of neutron backgrounds to make further advances in sensitivity, Cushman has expanded the Minnesota effort on backgrounds to the national level, where she is leading a coordinated effort in neutron simulations for underground physics. The work of Mandic on 100 mm detectors both for Super-CDMS and beyond has advanced rapidly. Also at the Intensity Frontier, the BESIII experiment has had a successful year of operation largely focused on searches for and studies of new "charmonium-like" states above DD threshold. At least one new state has been observed so far, with hints of others. An intensive effort to understand their nature and gain new insight into the strong interaction continues. BESIII has also produced a large number of other results in charmonium decay and light-hadronic physics.« less

    From 2011 to 2014, the BESIII experiment collected about 5 fb-1 data at center-of-mass energies around 4 GeV for the studies of the charmonium-like and higher excited charmonium states. By analyzing the di-muon process e+e- → γISR/FSRμ+μ-, the center-of-mass energies of the data samples are measured with a precision of 0.8 MeV. The center-of-mass energy is found to be stable for most of the time during data taking.

  2. Process of e⁺e⁻ → ππX (3823) in the soft pion

    DOE PAGES

    Voloshin, M. B.

    2015-06-23

    The production of the resonance X(3823), identified as the charmonium ³D₂ state, in the process e⁺e⁻ → ππX(3823) has been recently reported by BESIII. Here it is pointed out that this process is fully described, up to one overall coupling constant, in the soft pion limit. An interpretation of the available and possible future data within the discussed theoretical framework may reveal new features of the charmoniumlike states. In particular, the observed relative yield for this process at different energies strongly suggests a very significant enhancement of the amplitude at the charmoniumlike peak near 4.36 GeV.

    We study three different chiral Lagrangians that describe the two- and three-body decays of an excited pseudoscalar glueball, JP C=0*-+ , into light mesons and charmonium states as well as into a scalar and pseudoscalar glueball. We compute the decay channels for an excited pseudoscalar glueball with a mass of 3.7 GeV and consider a ground-state pseudoscalar glueball of mass 2.6 GeV, following predictions from lattice QCD simulations. These states and channels are in reach of the ongoing BESIII experiment and the PANDA experiments at the upcoming FAIR facility experiment. We present the resulting decay branching ratios with a parameter-free prediction.

    Working with a large basis of covariant derivative-based meson interpolating fields we demonstrate the feasibility of reliably extracting multiple excited states using a variational method. The study is performed on quenched anisotropic lattices with clover quarks at the charm mass. We demonstrate how a knowledge of the continuum limit of a lattice interpolating field can give additional spin-assignment information, even at a single lattice spacing, via the overlap factors of interpolating field and state. Excited state masses are systematically high with respect to quark potential model predictions and, where they exist, experimental states. We conclude that this is most likelymore » a result of the quenched approximation.« less

    This report reviewed the recently discovered Zc(3900) at around 3.9 GeV/c2 in the π±J/ψ mass spectrum by the Belle and BESIII collaborations simultaneously. Belle collaboration observed it in the process e+e- → π+π- J/ψ within the Y (4260) signal region with a 967 fb-1 data sample using initial-stateradiation technology. BESIII collaboration discovered it in the same process at a fixed center-of-mass energy of 4.260 GeV using a 525 pb-1 data sample. The measured resonance masses and widths from Belle and BESIII measurements are consistent with each other within the errors. The Zc(3900) can be interpreted as a new charged charmonium-like state.

    The direct CP asymmetries of the decays B 0 → K *0 μ + μ - and B + → K + μ + μ - are measured using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb-1 collected with the LHCb detector. The respective control modes B 0 → J/ψK *0 and B + → J/ψK + are used to account for detection and production asymmetries. The measurements are made in several intervals of μ + μ - invariant mass squared, with the ϕ(1020) and charmonium resonance regions excluded. Under the hypothesis of zero CP asymmetry in the control modes, the average values of the asymmetries are

  7. New Experiments with Antiprotons

    2011-12-01

    Fermilab operates the world's most intense antiproton source. Recently proposed experiments can use those antiprotons either parasitically during Teva-tron Collider running or after the Tevatron Collider finishes in about 2011. For example, the annihilation of 8 GeV antiprotons might make the world's most intense source of tagged D0 mesons, and thus the best near-term opportunity to study charm mixing and search for new physics via its CP-violation signature. Other possible precision measurements include properties of the X(3872) and the charmonium system. An experiment using a Penning trap and an atom interferometer could make the world's first measurement of the gravitational force on antimatter. These and other potential measurements using antiprotons could yield a broad physics program at Fermilab in the post-Tevatron era.

    The production of heavy quarkonia at the LHC is considered. It is shown that, in the case of the inclusive production of χ{sub cJ}P-wave charmonia, existing experimental data can be described upon taking into account next-to-leading corrections, a dominant contribution coming from color-singlet states. For the case of B{sub c}-meson production, it is shown that, at experimentally accessible values of the transverse momentum, power-law corrections to the cross section make a significant contribution, with the result that the cross-section ratio σ(B{sub c})/σ(B) develops a p{sub T} dependence not observed in the fragmentation regime. The case of double vector-charmonium production ismore » also considered.« less

    We study the semileptonic decays of the Bc meson into final charmonium states within the standard model and beyond. The relevant hadronic transition form factors are calculated in the framework of the covariant confined quark model developed by us. We focus on the tau mode of these decays, which may provide some hints of new physics effects. We extend the standard model by assuming a general effective Hamiltonian describing the b →c τ ν transition, which consists of the full set of the four-fermion operators. We then obtain experimental constraints on the Wilson coefficients corresponding to each operator and provide predictions for the branching fractions and other polarization observables in different new physics scenarios.

  10. A systematic study of the strong interaction with P-barANDA

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Messchendorp, J. G.

    2011-10-21

    The theory of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) reproduces the strong interaction at distances much shorter than the size of the nucleon. At larger distance scales, the generation of hadron masses and confinement cannot yet be derived from first principles on basis of QCD. The PANDA experiment at FAIR will address the origin of these phenomena in controlled environments. Beams of antiprotons together with a multi-purpose and compact detection system will provide unique tools to perform studies of the strong interaction. This will be achieved via precision spectroscopy of charmonium and open-charm states, an extensive search for exotic objects such asmore » glueballs and hybrids, in-medium and hypernuclei spectroscopy, and more. An overview is given of the physics program of the P-barANDA collaboration.« less

    Recent results from on hadronic spectroscopy are presented, based on data collected by the BaBar experiment between 1999 and 2004. The properties of the recently discovered D*{sub sJ}(2317){sup +} and D{sub sJ}(2460){sup +} states are studied: resonance parameters and ratios of decay rates are measured from continuum e{sup +}e{sup -} production, and production rates are measured from B decays. A search for the D*{sub sJ}(2632){sup +} state whose observation has been recently reported by the SELEX Collaboration, and a search for a charged partner of the charmonium-like X(3872) state, are performed, yielding negative results. Finally, extensive searches for several pentaquarkmore » candidates, both fully inclusive and in B decays, result in no positive evidence.« less

    Using a sample of 2.59x10{sup 7} {psi}(2S) decays collected by the CLEO-c detector, we present results of a study of {chi}{sub c0} and {chi}{sub c2} decays into two-meson final states.

These results shed light on the mechanism of charmonium decays into pseudoscalar mesons.

    We present measurements of time-dependent CP-violating asymmetries in neutral B decays to several CP eigenstates. The measurement uses a data sample of 23x10(6) Upsilon(4S)-->BbarB decays collected by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric B Factory at SLAC. In this sample, we find events in which one neutral B meson is fully reconstructed in a CP eigenstate containing charmonium and the flavor of the other neutral B meson is determined from its decay products. The amplitude of the CP-violating asymmetry, which in the standard model is proportional to sin2beta, is derived from the decay time distributions in such events. The result is sin2beta = 0.34+/-0.20 (stat)+/-0.05 (syst).

    The data sample of Λ_{b}^{0}→J/ψpK^{-} decays acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8 TeV pp collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3  fb^{-1}, is inspected for the presence of J/ψp or J/ψK^{-} contributions with minimal assumptions about K^{-}p contributions. It is demonstrated at more than nine standard deviations that Λ_{b}^{0}→J/ψpK^{-} decays cannot be described with K^{-}p contributions alone, and that J/ψp contributions play a dominant role in this incompatibility. These model-independent results support the previously obtained model-dependent evidence for P_{c}^{+}→J/ψp charmonium-pentaquark states in the same data sample.

    In the experiment R704 at the CERN Intersecting Storage Rings, the two p-wave charmonium states χ1 and χ2 were formed directly in proton-antiproton annihilation, and detected through the decay chain χj-->γ+J/ψ-->ψ+e+e-. The angular d istributions of the events found are studied here. A maximum likehood analysis shows that χ1 radiative transition to the J/ψ is compatible with a pure dipole. Indications of a nonzero, positive quadropole contribution to the χ2 radiative transition are found. Finally, it is found that the χ2 data are consistent with the conventional assumption that a single quark radiates the photon in the transition from the χ2 to the J/ψ.

  16. New Concepts and Fermilab Facilities for Antimatter Research

    2008-04-01

    There has long been significant interest in continuing antimatter research at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Beam kinetic energies ranging from 10 GeV all the way down to the eV scale and below are of interest. There are three physics missions currently being developed: the continuation of charmonium physics utilizing an internal target; atomic physics with in-flight generated antihydrogen atoms; and deceleration to thermal energies and paasage of antiprotons through a grating system to determine their gravitation acceleration. Non-physics missions include the study of medical applications, tests of deep-space propulsion concepts, low-risk testing of nuclear fuel elements, and active interrogation for smuggled nuclear materials in support of homeland security. This paper reviews recent beam physics and accelerator technology innovations in the development of methods and new Fermilab facilities for the above missions.

We observe a distortion in the eta_{c} line shape due to the photon-energy dependence of the magnetic dipole transition rate. We find that measurements of the eta_{c} mass are sensitive to the line shape, suggesting an explanation for the discrepancy between measurements of the eta_{c} mass in radiative transitions and other production mechanisms.

    We discuss a possible interpretation of the open charm mesons D*s0(2317), Ds1(2460) and the hidden charm mesons X(3872), Y(3940) and Y(4140) as hadron molecules. Using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach we review the strong and radiative decays of the D*s0(2317) and Ds1(2460) states. The X(3872) is assumed to consist dominantly of molecular hadronic components with an additional small admixture of a charmonium configuration. Determing the radiative (γJ/Ψ and γΨ(2s)) and strong (J/Ψ2π and J/Ψ3π) decay modes we show that the present experimental observation is consistent with the molecular structure assumption of the X(3872). Finally, we give evidence for molecular interpretations of the Y(3940) and Y(4140) related to the observed strong decay modes J/Ψ + ω or J/Ψ + varphi, respectively.

    Charmonium production in heavy ion collisions is considered as an important diagnostic probe for studying the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter for potential phase transitions. The interpretation of existing data from the CERN SPS is hampered by a lack of knowledge on the properties of open charm particle production in the fireball. Moreover, open charm production in heavy ion collisions by itself is poorly understood. To overcome this obstacle, the NA61/SHINE was equipped with a Small Acceptance Vertex Detector (SAVD), which is predicted to make the experiment sensitive to open charm mesons produced in A-A collisions at the SPS top energy. This paper will introduce the concept and the hardware of the SAVD. Moreover, first running experience as obtained in a commissioning run with a 150 AGeV/c Pb+Pb collision system will be reported.

  20. Triangle singularities and XYZ quarkonium peaks

    We discuss analytical properties of partial waves derived from projection of a 4-legged amplitude with crossed-channel exchanges in the kinematic region of the direct channel that corresponds to the XYZ peaks in charmonium and bottomonium. We show that in general partial waves can develop anomalous branch points in the vicinity of the direct channel physical region. In a specific case, when these branch points lie on the opposite side of the unitary cut they pinch the integration contour in a dispersion relation and if the pinch happens close to threshold, the normal threshold cusp is enhanced. We show that this effect only occurs if masses of resonances in the crossed channel are in a specific, narrow range. We estimate the size of threshold enhancements originating from these anomalous singularities in reactions where themore » $$Z_c(3900)$$ and the $$Z_b(10610)$$ peaks have been observed.« less

    Differential production cross sections of prompt J / ψ and ψ (2S) charmonium and ϒ (nS) (n = 1 , 2 , 3) bottomonium states are measured in proton-proton collisions at √{ s } = 13TeV, with data collected by the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb-1 for the J / ψ and 2.7 fb-1 for the other mesons. The five quarkonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel, for dimuon rapidity | y | < 1.2. The double-differential cross sections for each state are measured as a function of y and transverse momentum, and compared to theoretical expectations. In addition, ratios are presented of cross sections for prompt ψ (2S) to J / ψ, ϒ (2S) to ϒ (1S) , and ϒ (3S) to ϒ (1S) production.

  2. Quantitative evaluation of first-order retardation corrections to the quarkonium spectrum

    We evaluate numerically first-order retardation corrections for some charmonium and bottomonium masses under the usual assumption of a Bethe-Salpeter purely scalar confinement kernel. The result depends strictly on the use of an additional effective potential to express the corrections (rather than to resort to Kato perturbation theory) and on an appropriate regularization prescription. The kernel has been chosen in order to reproduce in the instantaneous approximation a semirelativistic potential suggested by the Wilson loop method. The calculations are performed for two sets of parameters determined by fits in potential theory. The corrections turn out to be typically of the ordermore » of a few hundred MeV and depend on an additional scale parameter introduced in the regularization. A conjecture existing in the literature on the origin of the constant term in the potential is also discussed.« less

  3. Collisional and thermal dissociation of J/ψ and Y states at the LHC

    Aronson, Samuel; Borras, Evan; Odegard, Brunel

    We present new results for the suppression of high transverse momentum charmonium [J/ψ,ψ(2S)] and bottomonium [Υ(1S), Υ(2S), Υ(3S)] states in Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Our theoretical formalism combines the collisional dissociation of quarkonia, as they propagate in the quark–gluon plasma, with the thermal wavefunction effects due to the screening of themore » $$Q\\overline{Q}$$ attractive potential in the medium. We find that a good description of the relative suppression of the ground and higher excited quarkonium states, transverse momentum and centrality distributions is achieved, when comparison to measurements at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV is performed. Theoretical predictions for the highest Pb+Pb center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV at the LHC, where new experimental results are being finalized, are also presented.« less

    Midrapidity open charm spectra from direct reconstruction of D0(D0)-->K-/+pi+/- in d+Au collisions and indirect electron-positron measurements via charm semileptonic decays in p+p and d+Au collisions at squareroot[sNN]=200 GeV are reported. The D0(D0) spectrum covers a transverse momentum (pT) range of 0.1

    We present new results for the suppression of high transverse momentum charmonium [J/ψ,ψ(2S)] and bottomonium [Υ(1S), Υ(2S), Υ(3S)] states in Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Our theoretical formalism combines the collisional dissociation of quarkonia, as they propagate in the quark–gluon plasma, with the thermal wavefunction effects due to the screening of themore » $$Q\\overline{Q}$$ attractive potential in the medium. We find that a good description of the relative suppression of the ground and higher excited quarkonium states, transverse momentum and centrality distributions is achieved, when comparison to measurements at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV is performed. Theoretical predictions for the highest Pb+Pb center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV at the LHC, where new experimental results are being finalized, are also presented.« less

    Using 2.45×107 ψ(2S) decays collected with the CLEO-c detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring we present the most precise measurements of magnetic dipole transitions in the charmonium system. We measure B(ψ(2S)→γηc)=(4.32±0.16±0.60)×10-3, B(J/ψ→γηc)/B(ψ(2S)→γηc)=4.59±0.23±0.64, and B(J/ψ→γηc)=(1.98±0.09±0.30)%. We observe a distortion in the ηc line shape due to the photon-energy dependence of the magnetic dipole transition rate. We find that measurements of the ηc mass are sensitive to the line shape, suggesting an explanation for the discrepancy between measurements of the ηc mass in radiative transitions and other production mechanisms.

    We have performed the first measurement of the coherent ψ (2 S) photo-production cross section in ultra-peripheral Pbsbnd Pb collisions at the LHC. This charmonium excited state is reconstructed via the ψ (2 S) →l+l- and ψ (2 S) → J / ψπ+π- decays, where the J / ψ decays into two leptons. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 22 μb-1. The cross section for coherent ψ (2 S) production in the rapidity interval - 0.9 < y < 0.9 is d σψ(2 S)/SUP> coh / dy = 0.83 ± 0.19 (stat + syst) mb. The ψ (2 S) to J / ψ coherent cross section ratio is 0.34-0.07+0.08 (stat + syst). The obtained results are compared to predictions from theoretical models.

    We present new results for the suppression of high transverse momentum charmonium [ J / ψ , ψ (2 S)] and bottomonium [ ϒ (1 S) , ϒ (2 S) , ϒ (3 S)] states in Pb+Pb collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Our theoretical formalism combines the collisional dissociation of quarkonia, as they propagate in the quark-gluon plasma, with the thermal wavefunction effects due to the screening of the Q Q bar attractive potential in the medium. We find that a good description of the relative suppression of the ground and higher excited quarkonium states, transverse momentum and centrality distributions is achieved, when comparison to measurements at a center-of-mass energy of 2.76 TeV is performed. Theoretical predictions for the highest Pb+Pb center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV at the LHC, where new experimental results are being finalized, are also presented.

    It has long been expected that the spectrum of hadrons in QCD would be far richer and extensive than experiment has so far revealed. While there have been experimental hints of this richness for some time, it is really only in the last few years that dramatic progress has been seen in the exploration both experimentally and in calculations on the lattice. Precision studies enabled by new technology both with detectors and high performance computations are converging on an understanding of the spectrum in strong coupling QCD. These methodologies are laying the foundation for a decade of potential discovery thatmore » electro and photoproduction experiments at Jefferson Lab, which when combined with key results on B and charmonium decays from both e+e? and pp colliders, should turn mere impressions of the light meson spectrum into a high definition picture.« less

    In this work we calculate the mass spectra of charmonium for 1 P ,…,4 P states of 0++ and 1++, for 1 S ,…,5 S states of 0-+, and for 1 S ,…,4 D states of 1- along with the two-photon decay widths of the ground and first excited states of 0++ quarkonia for the process O++→γ γ in the framework of a QCD-motivated Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE). In this 4 ×4 BSE framework, the coupled Salpeter equations are first shown to decouple for the confining part of the interaction (under the heavy-quark approximation) and are analytically solved, and later the one-gluon-exchange interaction is perturbatively incorporated, leading to mass spectral equations for various quarkonia. The analytic forms of wave functions obtained are used for the calculation of the two-photon decay widths of χc 0. Our results are in reasonable agreement with data (where available) and other models.

  15. Evidence for X(3872) from DD* scattering on the lattice.

    A candidate for the charmonium(like) state X(3872) is found 11±7 MeV below the DD* threshold using dynamical N(f)=2 lattice simulation with J(PC)=1(++) and I=0. This is the first lattice simulation that establishes a candidate for X(3872) in addition to the nearby scattering states DD* and J/ψω, which inevitably have to be present in dynamical QCD. We extract large and negative DD* scattering length a(0)(DD*)=-1.7±0.4 fm and the effective range r(0)(DD*)=0.5±0.1 fm, but their reliable determination will have to wait for a simulation on a larger volume. In I=1 channel, only the DD* and J/ψρ scattering states are found and no candidate for X(3872). This is in agreement with the interpretation that X(3872) is dominantly I=0, while its small I=1 component arises solely from the isospin breaking and is therefore absent in our simulation with m(u)=m(d).

    Quarkonia are mesons formed of either a charm and anti-charm quark pair (J/ψ, ψ(2S)) or a beauty and anti-beauty quark pair (ϒ(1S), (2S) and (3S)). We report on forward rapidity (2:5 < y < 4) J/ψ and ψ(2S) production measured in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV, using data collected at the LHC in 2015. The results will be compared with similar measurements performed at √s = 2.76, 5.02, 7 and 8 TeV. They will be further compared to NRQCD and FONLL calculations, which describe prompt and non-prompt charmonium production respectively. Results of the J/ψ nuclear modification factor as a function of collision centrality in p-Pb collisions at = 8.16 TeV, at forward and backward rapidities, will also be presented. These measurements will be compared with Run-1 (2009 - 2013) results as well as theoretical calculations and will be interpreted in terms of cold nuclear matter effects.

  19. Dissociation of heavy quarkonium in hot QCD medium in a quasiparticle model

    2016-11-01

    Following a recent work on the effective description of the equations of state for hot QCD obtained from a hard thermal loop expression for the gluon self-energy, in terms of the quasigluons and quasiquarks and antiquarks with respective effective fugacities, the dissociation process of heavy quarkonium in hot QCD medium has been investigated. This has been done by investigating the medium modification to a heavy quark potential. The medium-modified potential has a quite different form (a long-range Coulomb tail in addition to the usual Yukawa term) in contrast to the usual picture of Debye screening. The flavor dependence binding energies of the heavy quarkonia states and the dissociation temperature have been obtained by employing the Debye mass for pure gluonic and full QCD case computed employing the quasiparticle picture. Thus, estimated dissociation patterns of the charmonium and bottomonium states, considering Debye mass from different approaches in the pure gluonic case and full QCD, have shown good agreement with the other potential model studies.

    The prompt and non-prompt production cross-sections for the χ c1 and χ c2 charmonium states are measured in pp collisions at = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using 4 .5 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The χ c states are reconstructed through the radiative decay χ c → J/ψγ (with J/ψ → μ + μ -) where photons are reconstructed from γ → e + e - conversions. The production rate of the χ c2 state relative to the χ c1 state is measured for prompt and non-prompt χ c as a function of J/ψ transverse momentum. The prompt χ c cross-sections are combined with existing measurements of prompt J/ψ production to derive the fraction of prompt J/ψ produced in feed-down from χ c decays. The fractions of χ c1 and χ c2 produced in b-hadron decays are also measured. [Figure not available: see fulltext.

  1. Production of X(3872) at PANDA

    The recently discovered X(3872) has many possible interpretations. We study the production of X(3872) with PANDA at GSI for the antiproton-proton collision with two possible interpretations of X(3872). One is as a loosely bound molecule of D mesons, while another is a 2P charmonium state {chi}{sub c1(2P)}. Using effective couplings we are able to give numerical predictions for the production near the threshold and the production associated with {pi}{sup 0}. We also study the possible background near the threshold production for X(3872){yields}J/{psi}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}. With the designed luminosity 1.5 fb{sup -1} per year of PANDA we find that the eventmore » number of pp{yields}J/{psi}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} near the threshold is at the order of 10{sup 6}-10{sup 8}. Our study shows that two interpretations are distinguishable from the line shape of the production.« less

  2. Heavy flavour production in proton-lead and lead-lead collisions with LHCb

    2017-11-01

    The LHCb experiment offers the unique opportunity to study heavy-ion interactions in the forward region (2 < η < 5), in a kinematic domain complementary to the other 3 large experiments at the LHC. The detector has excellent capabilities for reconstructing quarkonia and open charm states, including baryons, down to zero pT. It can separate the prompt and displaced charm components. In pPb collisions, both forward and backward rapidities are covered thanks to the possibility of beam reversal. Results include measurements of the nuclear modification factor and forward-backward ratio for charmonium, open charm and bottomonium states. These quantities are sensitive probes for nuclear effects in heavy flavour production. Perspectives are given with the large accumulated luminosity during the 2016 pPb run at the LHC. In 2015, LHCb participated successfully for the first time in the PbPb data-taking. The status of the forward prompt J/ψ nuclear modification factor measurement in lead-lead collisions is discussed.

    The processes {psi}(2S){r_arrow}{gamma}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}} , {gamma}K{sup +}K{sup {minus}} , and {gamma}p{ovr p} have been studied using a sample of 3.79{times}10{sup 6} {psi}(2S) decays. We determine the total width of the {chi}{sub c0} to be {Gamma}{sup tot}{sub {chi}{sub c0}} =14.3{plus_minus}2.0{plus_minus}3.0 MeV . We present the first measurement of the branching fraction B({chi}{sub c0}{r_arrow}p{ovr p})=( 15.9{plus_minus}4.3{plus_minus}5.3){times}10{sup {minus}5} , where the first error is statistical and the second one is systematic. Branching fractions of {chi}{sub c0,2}{r_arrow}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup {minus}} and K{sup +}K{sup {minus}} are also reported. {copyright} {ital 1998} {ital The American Physical Society }

    In heavy-ion collisions, after the quark-gluon plasma there is a hadronic gas phase. Using effective Lagrangians, we study the interactions of charmed mesons which lead to J /ψ production and absorption in this gas. We update and extend previous calculations introducing strange meson interactions and also including the interactions mediated by the recently measured exotic charmonium resonances Z (3900 ) and Z (4025 ) . These resonances open new reaction channels for the J /ψ , which could potentially lead to changes in its multiplicity. We compute the J /ψ production cross section in processes such as D(s) (*)+D¯(*)→J /ψ +(π ,ρ ,K ,K*) and also the J /ψ absorption cross section in the corresponding inverse processes. Using the obtained cross sections as input to solve the appropriate rate equation, we conclude that the interactions in the hadron gas phase lead to a 20-24% reduction of the J /ψ abundance. Within the uncertainties of the calculation, this reduction is the same at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the large Hadron Collider.

  5. Quark masses and strong coupling constant in 2+1 flavor QCD

    We present a determination of the strange, charm and bottom quark masses as well as the strong coupling constant in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD simulations using highly improved staggered quark action. The ratios of the charm quark mass to the strange quark mass and the bottom quark mass to the charm quark mass are obtained from the meson masses calculated on the lattice and found to be mc/ms = 11.877(91) and mb/mc = 4.528(57) in the continuum limit. We also determine the strong coupling constant and the charm quark mass using the moments of pseudoscalar charmonium correlators: α s(μ =more » m c) = 0.3697(85) and mc(μ = mc) = 1.267(12) GeV. Our result for αs corresponds to the determination of the strong coupling constant at the lowest energy scale so far and is translated to the value α s(μ = M Z, n f = 5) = 0.11622(84).« less

    A thorough study reveals that the only key parameter for ψ (J/ψ, ψ‧) polarization at hadron colliders is the ratio < {O}\\psi {(}3{S}1[8])> /< {O}\\psi {(}3{P}0[8])> , if the velocity scaling rule holds. A slight variation of this parameter results in substantial change of the ψ polarization. We find that with equally good description of the yield data, this parameter can vary significantly. Fitting the yield data is therefore incapable of determining this parameter, and consequently, of determining the ψ polarization. We provide a universal approach to fixing the long-distance matrix elements (LDMEs) for J/ψ and ψ‧ production. Further, with the existing data, we implement this approach, obtain a favorable set of the LDMEs, and manage to reconcile the charmonia production and polarization experiments, except for two sets of CDF data on J/ψ polarization.

    We suggest to use the state Y (4630), which decays predominantly to ΛcΛ‾c, as a window to the landscape of tetraquarks. We propose a simple criterion to decide whether a state is a stringy exotic hadron - a tetraquark - or a ;molecule;. If it is the former it should be on a (modified) Regge trajectory. We present the predictions of the mass and width of the higher excited states on the Y (4630) trajectory. We argue that there should exist an analogous Yb state that decays to ΛbΛ‾b and describe its trajectory. We conjecture also a similar trajectory for tetraquarks containing strange quarks, and the modified Regge trajectories can in fact be predicted for any resonances found decaying to a baryon-antibaryon pair. En route to the results regarding tetraquarks, we also make some additional predictions on higher excited charmonium states. We briefly discuss the zoo of exotic stringy hadrons and in particular we sketch all the possibilities of tetraquark states.

    We extend the analysis of a very recent work [1] to study the dissociation phenomenon of 1P states of the charmonium and bottomonium spectra (χc and χb) in a hot QCD medium using Quasi-Particle Model. This study employed a medium modified heavy quark potential which has quite different form in the sense that it has a lomg range Coulombic tail in addition to the Yukawa term even above the deconfinement temperature. Then we study the flavor dependence of their binding energies and explore the nature of dissociation temperatures by employing the Quasi-Particle debye mass for pure gluonic and full QCD case. Interestingly, the dissociation temperatures obtained by employing EoS1 and EoS2 with the Γ criterion, is closer to the upper bound of the dissociation temperatures which are obtained by the dissolution of a given quarkonia state by the mean thermal energy of the quasi-partons in the hot QCD/QGP medium.

    This thesis presents the full-angular time-dependent analysis of the vector-vector channel B{sub d}{sup 0} {yields} J/{psi}(K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0})*{sup 0}. After a review of the CP violation in the B meson system, the phenomenology of the charmonium-K*(892) channels is exposed. The method for the measurement of the transversity amplitudes of the B {yields} J/{psi}K*(892), based on a pseudo-likelihood method, is then exposed. The results from a 81.9 fb{sup -1} of collected data by the BABAR detector at the {Upsilon}(4S) resonance peak are |A{sub 0}|{sup 2} = 0.565 {+-} 0.011 {+-} 0.004, |A{sub {parallel}}|{sup 2} = 0.206 {+-} 0.016 {+-} 0.007,more » |A{sub {perpendicular}}|{sup 2} = 0.228 {+-} 0.016 {+-} 0.007, {delta}{sub {parallel}} = -2.766 {+-} 0.105 {+-} 0.040 and {delta}{sub {perpendicular}} = 2.935 {+-} 0.067 {+-} 0.040. Note that ({delta}{sub {parallel}}, {delta}{sub {perpendicular}}) {yields} (-{delta}{sub {parallel}}, {pi} - {delta}{sub {perpendicular}}) is also a solution. The strong phases {delta}{sub {parallel}} and {delta}{sub {perpendicular}} are at {approx}> 3{sigma} from {+-}{pi}, signing the presence of final state interactions and the breakdown of the factorization hypothesis. The forward-backward analysis of the K{pi} mass spectrum revealed the presence of a coherent S-wave interfering with the K*(892). It is the first evidence of this wave in the K{pi} system coming from a B meson. The particularity of the B{sub d}{sup 0} {yields} J/{psi}(K{sub S}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0})*{sup 0} channel is to have a time-dependent but also an angular distribution which allows to measure sin 2{beta} but also cos2{beta}. The results from an unbinned maximum likelihood fit are sin 2{beta} = -0.10 {+-} 0.57 {+-} 0.14 and cos 2{beta} = 3.32{sub -0.96}{sup +0.76} {+-} 0.27 with the transversity amplitudes fixed to the values given above. The other solution for the strong phases flips the sign of cos 2{beta}. Theoretical considerations based on the s-quark helicity conservation favor the choice of the strong phases given above, leading to a positive sign for cos 2{beta}. The sign of cos 2{beta} is the one predicted by the Standard Model.« less

    We explore the implications for hadron spectroscopy of the ''standard'' gauge model of weak, electromagnetic, and strong interactions. The model involves four types of fractionally charged quarks, each in three colors, coupling to massless gauge gluons. The quarks are confined within colorless hadrons by a long-range spin-independent force realizing infrared slavery. We use the asymptotic freedom of the model to argue that for the calculation of hadron masses, the short-range quark-quark interaction may be taken to be Coulomb- like. We rederive many successful quark-model mass relations for the low-lying hadrons. Because a specific interaction and symmetry-breaking mechanism are forced onmore » us by the underlying renormalizable gauge field theory, we also obtain new mass relations. They are well satisfied. We develop a qualitative understanding of many features of the hadron mass spectrum, such as the origin and sign of the $Sigma$-$lambda$ mass splitting. Interpreting the newly discovered narrow boson resonances as states of charmonium, we use the model to predict the masses of charmed mesons and baryons.« less

    The decay mode {psi}(2S){yields}J/{psi}+{gamma}{gamma} is proposed in order to experimentally identify the effects of the coupling of charmonium states to the continuum D{bar D} states. To have a better understanding of such a two-photon decay process, in this work we restrict ourselves to investigate the contribution of the discrete part, in which the photons are mainly produced via the intermediate states {chi}{sub cJ}(nP). Besides calculating the resonance contributions of {chi}{sub cJ}(1P)(J=0,1,2), we also take into account the contributions of the higher excited states {chi}{sub cJ}(2P) and the interference effect among the 1P and 2P states. We find that the contributionmore » of the 2P states and the interference terms to the total decay width is very tiny. However, for specific regions of the Dalitz plot, off the resonance peaks, we find that these contributions are sizable and should also be accounted for. We also provide the photon spectrum and study the polarization of J/{psi}.« less

    Mid-rapidity open charm spectra from direct reconstruction of D{sup 0}({bar D}{sup 0}) {yields} K{sup {-+}} {pi}{sup {+-}} in d+Au collisions and indirect electron/positron measurements via charm semileptonic decays in p+p and d+Au collisions at {radical}s{sub NN} = 200 GeV are reported. The D{sup 0}({bar D}{sup 0}) spectrum covers a transverse momentum (p{sub T}) range of 0.1 < p{sub T} < 3 GeV/c whereas the electron spectra cover a range of 1 < p{sub T} < 4 GeV/c. The electron spectra show approximate binary collision scaling between p+p and d+Au collisions. From these two independent analyses, the differential cross section permore » nucleon-nucleon binary interaction at mid-rapidity for open charm production from d+Au collisions at RHIC is d{sigma}{sub c{bar c}}{sup NN}/dy = 0.30 {+-} 0.04 (stat.) {+-} 0.09(syst.) mb. The results are compared to theoretical calculations. Implications for charmonium results in A+A collisions are discussed.« less

    We use QCD Laplace sum rules to study meson-hybrid mixing in vector (1-) heavy quarkonium. We compute the QCD cross-correlator between a heavy meson current and a heavy hybrid current within the operator product expansion. In addition to leading-order perturbation theory, we include four- and six-dimensional gluon condensate contributions as well as a six-dimensional quark condensate contribution. We construct several single and multiresonance models that take known hadron masses as inputs. We investigate which resonances couple to both currents and so exhibit meson-hybrid mixing. Compared to single resonance models that include only the ground state, we find that models that also include excited states lead to significantly improved agreement between QCD and experiment. In the charmonium sector, we find that meson-hybrid mixing is consistent with a two-resonance model consisting of the J /ψ and a 4.3 GeV resonance. In the bottomonium sector, we find evidence for meson-hybrid mixing in the ϒ (1 S ) , ϒ (2 S ), ϒ (3 S ), and ϒ (4 S ).

    The P bar ANDA experiment is devoted to study interactions between cooled antiproton beams and a fixed target (the interaction rate is of about 107 events/s), hydrogen or heavier nuclei. The innermost tracker of P bar ANDA is the Micro Vertex Detector (MVD), specially designed to ensure the secondary vertex resolution for the discrimination of short-lived charmonium states. Hybrid epitaxial silicon pixels and double-sided silicon microstrips will equip four barrels, arranged around the interaction point, and six forward disks. The experiment features a triggerless architecture with a master clock of 160 MHz, therefore the MVD has to run with a continuous data transmission where the hits need precise timestamps. The energy loss of the particles in the sensor will be measured as well. The challenging request of a triggerless readout suggested to develop custom readout chips for both pixel (ToPix) and microstrip (PASTA) devices. To validate components and the triggerless readout architecture, prototypes have been built and tested. After an overview of the MVD, the technological aspects and performances of some prototypes will be reported.

    In CDF we have observed the reactions p + p[over] --> p + X + p[over], with X being a centrally produced J/psi, psi(2S), or chi_{c0}, and gammagamma-->micro;{+}micro;{-} in pp[over] collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.96 TeV. The event signature requires two oppositely charged central muons, and either no other particles or one additional photon detected. Exclusive vector meson production is as expected for elastic photoproduction, gamma + p --> J/psi(psi(2S)) + p, observed here for the first time in hadron-hadron collisions. We also observe exclusive chi_{c0} --> J/psi + gamma. The cross sections dsigma/dy|_{y = 0} for J/psi, psi(2S), and chi_{c0} are 3.92 +/- 0.25(stat) +/- 0.52(syst) nb, 0.53 +/- 0.09(stat) +/- 0.10(syst) nb, and 76 +/- 10(stat) +/- 10(syst) nb, respectively, and the continuum is consistent with QED. We put an upper limit on the cross section for Odderon exchange in exclusive J/psi production.

    Using 24x10{sup 6} {psi}{sup '}{identical_to}{psi}(2S) decays in CLEO-c, we have searched for higher multipole admixtures in electric-dipole-dominated radiative transitions in charmonia. We find good agreement between our data and theoretical predictions for magnetic quadrupole (M2) amplitudes in the transitions {psi}{sup '}{yields}{gamma}{chi}{sub c1,c2} and {chi}{sub c1,c2}{yields}{gamma}J/{psi}, in striking contrast to some previous measurements. Let b{sub 2}{sup J} and a{sub 2}{sup J} denote the normalized M2 amplitudes in the respective aforementioned decays, where the superscript J refers to the angular momentum of the {chi}{sub cJ}. By performing unbinned maximum likelihood fits to full five-parameter angular distributions, we found the following values ofmore » M2 admixtures for J{sub {chi}}=1: a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 1}}=(-6.26{+-}0.63{+-}0.24)x10{sup -2} and b{sub 2}{sup J={sup 1}}=(2.76{+-}0.73{+-}0.23)x10{sup -2}, which agree well with theoretical expectations for a vanishing anomalous magnetic moment of the charm quark. For J{sub {chi}}=2, if we fix the electric octupole (E3) amplitudes to zero as theory predicts for transitions between charmonium S states and P states, we find a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 2}}=(-9.3{+-}1.6{+-}0.3)x10{sup -2} and b{sub 2}{sup J={sup 2}}=(1.0{+-}1.3{+-}0.3)x10{sup -2}. If we allow for E3 amplitudes we find, with a four-parameter fit, a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 2}}=(-7.9{+-}1.9{+-}0.3)x10{sup -2}, b{sub 2}{sup J={sup 2}}=(0.2{+-}1.4{+-}0.4)x10{sup -2}, a{sub 3}{sup J={sup 2}}=(1.7{+-}1.4{+-}0.3)x10{sup -2}, and b{sub 3}{sup J={sup 2}}=(-0.8{+-}1.2{+-}0.2)x10{sup -2}. We determine the ratios a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 1}}/a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 2}}=0.67{sub -0.13}{sup +0.19} and a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 1}}/b{sub 2}{sup J={sup 1}}=-2.27{sub -0.99}{sup +0.57}, where the theoretical predictions are independent of the charmed quark magnetic moment and are a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 1}}/a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 2}}=0.676{+-}0.071 and a{sub 2}{sup J={sup 1}}/b{sub 2}{sup J={sup 1}}=-2.27{+-}0.16.« less

    Measurements of differential cross sections for J/ψ production in p + Pb collisions at √s NN=5.02 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron Collider with the ATLAS detector are presented. The data set used corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 28.1 nb -1. The J/ψ mesons are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel over the transverse momentum range 8< p T< 30GeV and over the center-of-mass rapidity range -2.87 < y*< 1.94. Prompt J/ψ are separated from J/ψ resulting from b-hadron decays through an analysis of the distance between the J/ψ decay vertex and the event primary vertex. The differential crossmore » section for production of nonprompt J/ψ is compared to a FONLL calculation that does not include nuclear effects. Forward-backward production ratios are presented and compared to theoretical predictions. These results complement previously published results by covering a region of higher transverse momentum and more central rapidity. They constrain the kinematic dependence of nuclear modifications of charmonium and b-quark production in p + Pb collisions.« less

  19. Highlights from PHENIX at RHIC

    2018-02-01

    Hadrons conveying strange quarks or heavy quarks are essential probes of the hot and dense medium created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. With hidden strangeness, ϕ meson production and its transport in the nuclear medium have attracted high interest since its discovery. Heavy quark-antiquark pairs, like charmonium and bottomonium mesons, are mainly produced in initial hard scattering processes of partons. While some of the produced pairs form bound quarkonia, the vast majority hadronize into particles carrying open heavy flavor. In this context, the PHENIX collaboration carries out a comprehensive physics program which studies the ϕ meson production, and heavy flavor production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC. In recent years, the PHENIX experiment upgraded the detector in installing silicon vertex tracker (VTX) at mid-rapidity region and forward silicon vertex tracker (FVTX) at the forward rapidity region. With these new upgrades, the experiment has collected large data samples, and enhanced the capability of heavy flavor measurements via precision tracking. This paper summarizes the latest PHENIX results concerning ϕ meson, open and closed charm and beauty heavy quark production in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. These results are presented as a function of rapidity, energy and system size, and their interpretation with respect to the current theoretical understanding.

    The BESIII Experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPCII) has accumulated the largest e+e‑ collisions data sets in the τ-charm region in the world. Using the data sets of 448.1 million ψ(3686) events and 1.3 billion J/ψ events, the branching fractions and the angular distributions of J/ψ and ψ(3686) decay to ΛΛ¯, Σ0Σ¯0, Σ(1385)0Σ¯(1385)0 and Ξ0Ξ¯0 are measured. The branching fractions of ψ(3686) → γχcJ are reported with improved precision. The higher-order multipole amplitudes in ψ(3686) → γχc1,2 with χc1,2 → γJ/ψ are measured, as a byproduct the ηc(2S) → γJ/ψ transition is searched. The Dalitz decays of ψ(3686) → e+e‑χ cJ and χcJ → e+e‑J/ψ are observed and the branching fractions are measured. hc radiative decays hc → γη‧(η) are observed for the first time. Improved measurement of ηc → ϕϕ and search for ηc → ωϕ are reported.

    In this letter, we decode the newly observed charmoniumlike states, Y(4320) and Y(4390), by introducing interference effect between ψ (4160) and ψ (4415), which plays a role of resonance killer for Y(4320) and Y(4390). It means that two newly reported charmoniumlike states are not genuine resonances, according to which we can naturally explain why two well-established charmonia ψ (4160) and ψ (4415) are missing in the cross sections of e^+e^- → π ^+ π ^- J/ψ and π ^+ π ^- h_c simultaneously. To well describe the detailed data of these cross sections around √{s}=4.2 GeV, our study further illustrates that a charmoniumlike structure Y(4220) must be introduced. As a charmonium, Y(4220) should dominantly decay into its open-charm channel e^+e^- → D^0 π ^+ D^{*-}, which provides an extra support to ψ (4S) assignment to Y(4220). In fact, this interference effect introduced to explain Y(4320) and Y(4390) gives a typical example of non-resonant explanations to the observed XYZ states, which should be paid more attention especially before identifying the observed XYZ states as genuine resonances.

    We present a study of the P-wave spin-triplet charmonium {chi}{sub cJ} decays (J=0, 1, 2) into {pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}.

The decay into the {pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0} hadronic final state is observed for the first time.

    Recently a lot of progress has been made in deriving the heavy quark potential within a QCD medium. In this article we have considered heavy quarkonium in a hot quark gluon plasma phase. The heavy-quark potential has been modeled properly for short as well as long distances. The potential at long distances is modeled as a QCD string which is screened at the same scale as the Coulomb field. We have numerically solved the 1+1-dimensional Schrodinger equation for this potential and obtained the eigen wavefunction and binding energy for the 1 S and 2 S states of charmonium and bottomonium. Further, we have calculated the decay width and dissociation temperature of quarkonium states in the QCD plasma. Finally, we have used our recently proposed unified model with these new values of decay widths to calculate the survival probability of the various quarkonium states with respect to centrality at relativistic heavy ion collider and large hadron collider energies. This study provides a unified, consistent and comprehensive description of spectroscopic properties of various quarkonium states at finite temperatures along with their nuclear modification factor at different collision energies.

    Observations of exotic structures in the J/ψp channel, which we refer to as charmonium-pentaquark states, in Λ_{b}^{0}→J/ψK^{-}p decays are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb^{-1} acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8 TeV pp collisions. An amplitude analysis of the three-body final state reproduces the two-body mass and angular distributions. To obtain a satisfactory fit of the structures seen in the J/ψp mass spectrum, it is necessary to include two Breit-Wigner amplitudes that each describe a resonant state. The significance of each of these resonances is more than 9 standard deviations. One has a mass of 4380±8±29 MeV and a width of 205±18±86 MeV, while the second is narrower, with a mass of 4449.8±1.7±2.5 MeV and a width of 39±5±19 MeV. The preferred J^{P} assignments are of opposite parity, with one state having spin 3/2 and the other 5/2.

  7. Charmed Hadron Spectrum and Interactions

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Liu, Liuming

    Studying hadrons containing heavy quarks in lattice QCD is challenging mainly due to finite lattice spacing effects. To control the discretization errors, mQa is required to be much less than 1, where mQ is the quark mass and a is the lattice spacing. For currently accessible lattice spacings, the charm quark mass doesn't satisfy this requirement. One approach to simulate heavy quarks on the lattice is non-relativestic QCD, which treats heavy quark as a static source and expand the lattice quark action in powers of 1mQa . Unfortunately, the charm quark is not heavy enough to justify this expansion. An other is Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) matched on QCD. Non-relativestic QCD and HQET are mainly used for bottom quark. Relativistic heavy-quark action, which incorporates both small mass and large mass formulations, is better suited to study the charm quark sector. The discretization errors can be reduced systematically following Symanzik improvement. In this work, we use the relativistic heavy quark action to study the charmed hadron spectrum and interactions in full lattice QCD. For the light quarks we use domain-wall fermions in the valence sector and improved Kogut-Susskind sea quarks. The parameters in the heavy quark action are tuned to reduce lattice artifacts and match the charm quark mass and the action is tested by calculating the low-lying charmonium spectrum. We compute the masses of the spin-1/2 singly and doubly charmed baryons. For the singly charmed baryons, our results are in good agreement with experiment within our systematics. For the doubly charmed baryon xicc we find the isospin-averaged mass to be MXcc = 3665 +/- 17 +/- 14+0-78 MeV; the three given uncertainties are statistical, systematic and an estimate of lattice discretization errors, respectively. In addition, we predict the mass splitting of the (isospin-averaged) spin-1/2 O cc with the xicc to be MWcc-MXcc = 98 +/- 9 +/- 22 +/- 13 MeV (in this mass splitting, the leading discretization errors are also suppressed by SU(3) symmetry). Combining this splitting with our determination of MXcc leads to our prediction of the spin-1/2 Occ mass, MWcc = 3763 +/- 19 +/- 26+13-79 MeV. We calculate the scattering lengths of the charmed mesons with the light pseudoscalar mesons. The calculation is performed for four different light quark masses and extrapolated to the physical point using chiral perturbation formulas to next-to-next-to-leading order. The low energy constants are determined and used to make predictions. We find relatively strong attractive interaction in DK channels, which is closely related to the structure of DsJ(2317) state. The scattering of charmonium with light hadrons is also studied. Particularly, we find very weak attractive interaction between J/Psi and nucleon, in this channel the dominate interaction is attractive gluonic van der Walls and it could lead to molecular-like bound states.

    We study the Bc→ψ (2 S ) K , ηc(2 S ) K , ψ (3770 ) K decays with perturbative QCD approach based on kT factorization. The new orbitally excited charmonium distribution amplitudes ψ (1 3D1) based on the Schrödinger wave function of the n =1 , l =2 state for the harmonic-oscillator potential are employed. By using the corresponding distribution amplitudes, we calculate the branching ratio of Bc→ψ (2 S ) K , ηc(2 S ) K , ψ (3770 ) K decays and the form factors A0 ,1 ,2 and V for the transition Bc→ψ (1 3D1) . We obtain the branching ratio of both Bc→ψ (2 S ) K and Bc→ηc(2 S ) K are at the order of 10-5. The effects of two sets of the S-D mixing angle θ =-1 2 ° and θ =2 7 ° for the decay Bc→ψ (3770 ) K are studied first in this paper. Our calculations show that the branching ratio of the decay Bc→ψ (3770 ) K can be raised from the order of 10-6 to the order of 10-5 at the mixing angle θ =-1 2 ° , which can be tested by the running LHC-b experiments.

    The modification of the production of J/ψ, ψ(2S), and Υ(nS) (n=1,2,3) in p+Pb collisions with respect to their production in pp collisions has been studied. The p+Pb and pp datasets used in this paper correspond to integrated luminosities of 28 nb –1 and 25 pb –1 respectively, collected in 2013 and 2015 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, both at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV. The quarkonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel. The yields of J/ψ and ψ(2S) are separated into prompt and non-prompt sources. The measured quarkonium differential cross sections aremore » presented as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum, as is the nuclear modification factor, R pPb for J/ψ and Υ(nS). No significant modification of the J/ψ production is observed while Υ(nS) production is found to be suppressed at low transverse momentum in p+Pb collisions relative to pp collisions. In conclusion, the production of excited charmonium and bottomonium states is found to be suppressed relative to that of the ground states in central p+Pb collisions.« less

  12. A study of hadronic decays of the chi(c) states produced in psi-prime radiative transitions at the Beijing Experimental Spectrometer

    Utilizing the world's largest sample of resonant y' decays, as measured by the Beijing Experimental Spectrometer (BES) during 1993-1995, a comprehensive study of the hadronic decay modes of the χc (3P1 Charmonium) states has been undertaken. Compared with the data set for the Mark I detector, whose published measurements of many of these hadronic decays have been definitive for almost 20 years, roughly an order of magnitude larger statistics has been obtained. Taking advantage of these larger statistics, many new hadronic decay modes have been discovered, while others have been refined. An array of first observations, improvements, confirmations or limits are reported with respect to current world values. These higher precision and newly discovered decay modes are an excellent testing ground for recent theoretical interest in the contribution of higher Fock states and the color octet mechanism in heavy quarkonium annihilation and subsequent light hadronization. Because these calculations are largely tractable only in two body decays, these are the focus of this dissertation. A comparison of current theoretical calculations and experimental results is presented, indicating the success of these phenomenological advances. Measurements for which there are as yet no suitable theoretical prediction are indicated.

    The modification of the production of J/ψ , ψ (2S), and Υ(nS) (n = 1, 2, 3) in p+Pb collisions with respect to their production in pp collisions has been studied. The p+Pb and pp datasets used in this paper correspond to integrated luminosities of 28 nb^{-1} and 25 pb^{-1} respectively, collected in 2013 and 2015 by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, both at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV. The quarkonium states are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel. The yields of J/ψ and ψ (2S) are separated into prompt and non-prompt sources. The measured quarkonium differential cross sections are presented as a function of rapidity and transverse momentum, as is the nuclear modification factor, R_{p{Pb}} for J/ψ and Υ (nS). No significant modification of the J/ψ production is observed while Υ(nS) production is found to be suppressed at low transverse momentum in p+Pb collisions relative to pp collisions. The production of excited charmonium and bottomonium states is found to be suppressed relative to that of the ground states in central p+Pb collisions.

    Whether the Y (4260) can couple to open charm channels has been a crucial issue for understanding its nature. The available experimental data suggest that the cross section line shapes of exclusive processes in e+e- annihilations have nontrivial structures around the mass region of the Y (4260). As part of a series of studies of the Y (4260) as mainly a D bar D1 (2420) + c . c . molecular state, we show that the partial widths of the Y (4260) to the two-body open charm channels of e+e- →D*Dbar* and Ds* D bars* are much smaller than that to D bar D* π + c . c . . The line shapes measured by the Belle Collaboration for these two channels can be well described by the vector charmonium states ψ (4040), ψ (4160) and ψ (4415) together with the Y (4260). It turns out that the interference of the Y (4260) with the other charmonia produces a dip around 4.22 GeV in the e+e- →D*Dbar* cross section line shape. The data also show an evidence for the strong coupling of the Y (4260) to the DDbar1 (2420), in line with the expectation in the hadronic molecular scenario for the Y (4260).

No significant modification of the J/ψ production is observed while Υ(nS) production is found to be suppressed at low transverse momentum in p+Pb collisions relative to pp collisions. In conclusion, the production of excited charmonium and bottomonium states is found to be suppressed relative to that of the ground states in central p+Pb collisions.« less

  16. Quarks, gluons, and color are sufficient, but are they necessary II

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    The 25th anniversary of the death of John Stewart Bell, was marked by lively discussion in Physics Today. This activity spurred me to consider the quark as one of Bell's ugly ``hidden variables'' which can be discarded. Here I extend comments on topics that are usually thought to be settled. These include CP-violation in KLong decay and ``quantum spookiness'' in B-decays. Apparently, the simple reaction e+ e- goes to ``anything + anything bar'' misses essential hadronic physics. The psi was indeed discovered by observing a sharp peak in the total cross section for e+e- at SLAC, but the J was found in the fragments from pp collisions at Brookhaven. Similarly, the parity of the D-meson was determined in a particle reconstruction by an LBL-SLAC group. They analyzed the Dalitz plot of the K pi pi in fragments at SPEAR and found ``Evidence for Parity Nonconservation in the Decays of the Narrow states near 1.87 GeV/c2. The authors did not mention quarks at all. Finally, the parity of the B-meson may be relevant to the exotic ``charmonium'' states observed in fragments at the B-factories. Unfortunately, the parity of the B cannot currently be determined independently of the quark model[PDG-2014, B+/-,top page 51].

    We perform a lattice study of charmonium-like mesons withmore » $$J^{PC}=1^{++}$$ and three quark contents $$\\bar cc \\bar du$$, $$\\bar cc(\\bar uu+\\bar dd)$$ and $$\\bar cc \\bar ss$$, where the later two can mix with $$\\bar cc$$. This simulation with $$N_f=2$$ and $$m_\\pi=266$$ MeV aims at the possible signatures of four-quark exotic states. We utilize a large basis of $$\\bar cc$$, two-meson and diquark-antidiquark interpolating fields, with diquarks in both anti-triplet and sextet color representations. A lattice candidate for X(3872) with I=0 is observed very close to the experimental state only if both $$\\bar cc$$ and $$D\\bar D^*$$ interpolators are included; the candidate is not found if diquark-antidiquark and $$D\\bar D^*$$ are used in the absence of $$\\bar cc$$. No candidate for neutral or charged X(3872), or any other exotic candidates are found in the I=1 channel. We also do not find signatures of exotic $$\\bar cc\\bar ss$$ candidates below 4.3 GeV, such as Y(4140). Possible physics and methodology related reasons for that are discussed. Along the way, we present the diquark-antidiquark operators as linear combinations of the two-meson operators via the Fierz transformations.« less

    The relative modification of the prompt ψ (2 S ) and J /ψ yields from p p to PbPb collisions, at the center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair, is presented. The analysis is based on p p and PbPb data samples collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 28.0 pb-1 and 464 μ b-1 , respectively. The double ratio of measured yields of prompt charmonia reconstructed through their decays into muon pairs, (Nψ (2 S )/NJ /ψ)PbPb/(Nψ (2 S )/NJ /ψ)p p , is determined as a function of PbPb collision centrality and charmonium transverse momentum pT, in two kinematic intervals: |y | <1.6 covering 6.5

  19. New Spectroscopy at BaBar

    The Babar experiment at the SLAC B factory has accumulated a high luminosity that offers the possibility of systematic studies of quarkonium spectroscopy and of investigating rare new phenomena. Recent results in this field are presented. In recent times spectroscopy has become exciting again, after the discovery of new states that are not easily explained by conventional models. States such as the X(3872) and the Y(4260) could be new excited charmonium states, but require precise measurements for positive identification. The BaBar experiment [1] is installed at the asymmetric storage ring PEP-II. 90% of the data accumulated by BaBar are takenmore » at the Y(4S) (10.58 GeV) and 10% just below (10.54 GeV). The BaBar detector includes a 5-layer, double-sided silicon vertex tracker and a 40-layer drift chamber in a 1.5 T solenoidal magnetic field, which detect charged particles and measures their momenta and ionization energy losses. Photons, electrons, and neutral hadrons are detected with a CsI(Tl)-crystal electromagnetic calorimeter. An internally reflecting ring-imaging Cherenkov is also used for particle id. Penetrating muon and neutral hadrons are identified by an array of resistive-plate chambers embedded in the steel of the flux return. The detector allows good track and vertex resolution, good particle id and good photon detection so it is especially suited for spectroscopy studies.« less

  20. Suppression versus enhancement of heavy quarkonia in p A collisions

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Kopeliovich, B. Z.; Schmidt, Iván; Siddikov, M.

    2017-06-01

    We describe the production of heavy quarkonia in p A collisions within the dipole approach by assuming the dominance of the perturbative color-singlet mechanism (CSM) in the pT-integrated cross section. Although accounting for a nonzero heavy Q -Q ¯ separation is a higher-twist correction that is usually neglected, we found it to be the dominant source of nuclear effects, significantly exceeding the effects of leading-twist gluon shadowing and energy loss. Moreover, this contribution turns out to be the most reliably predicted, relying on the precise measurements of the dipole cross section at the Hadron-Electron Ring Accelerator (HERA) at DESY. The nuclear suppression of quarkonia has been anticipated to become stronger with energy because the dipole cross section steeply rises. However, the measured nuclear effects remain essentially unchanged within the energy range from that of the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) to that of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). A production mechanism is proposed that enhances the charmonium yield. Nuclear effects for the production of J /ψ , ψ (2 S ) , Υ (1 S ) , and Υ (2 S ) are calculated and are in agreement with data from RHIC and LHC. The dipole description offers a unique explanation for the observed significant nuclear suppression of the ψ (2 S ) -to-J /ψ ratio, which is related to the nontrivial features of the ψ (2 S ) wave function.

    It is emphasized in the 2015 NSAC Long Range Plan that "understanding the structure of hadrons in terms of QCD's quarks and gluons is one of the central goals of modern nuclear physics." Over the last three decades, lattice QCD has developed into a powerful tool for ab initio calculations of strong-interaction physics. Up until now, it is the only theoretical approach to solving QCD with controlled statistical and systematic errors. Since 1985, we have proposed and carried out first-principles calculations of nucleon structure and hadron spectroscopy using lattice QCD which entails both algorithmic development and large-scale computer simulation. Wemore » started out by calculating the nucleon form factors -- electromagnetic, axial-vector, πNN, and scalar form factors, the quark spin contribution to the proton spin, the strangeness magnetic moment, the quark orbital angular momentum, the quark momentum fraction, and the quark and glue decomposition of the proton momentum and angular momentum. The first round of calculations were done with Wilson fermions in the `quenched' approximation where the dynamical effects of the quarks in the sea are not taken into account in the Monte Carlo simulation to generate the background gauge configurations. Beginning in 2000, we have started implementing the overlap fermion formulation into the spectroscopy and structure calculations. This is mainly because the overlap fermion honors chiral symmetry as in the continuum. It is going to be more and more important to take the symmetry into account as the simulations move closer to the physical point where the u and d quark masses are as light as a few MeV only. We began with lattices which have quark masses in the sea corresponding to a pion mass at ~ 300 MeV and obtained the strange form factors, charm and strange quark masses, the charmonium spectrum and the D s meson decay constant f Ds, the strangeness and charmness, the meson mass decomposition and the strange quark spin from the anomalous Ward identity. Recently, we have started to include multiple lattices with different lattice spacings and different volumes including large lattices at the physical pion mass point. We are getting quite close to being able to calculate the hadron structure at the physical point and to do the continuum and large volume extrapolations, which is our ultimate aim. We have now finished several projects which have included these systematic corrections. They include the leptonic decay width of the ρ, the πN sigma and strange sigma terms, and the strange quark magnetic moment. Over the years, we have also studied hadron spectroscopy with lattice calculations and in phenomenology. These include Roper resonance, pentaquark state, charmonium spectrum, glueballs, scalar mesons a 0(1450) and σ(600) and other scalar mesons, and the 1 -+ meson. In addition, we have employed the canonical approach to explore the first-order phase transition and the critical point at finite density and finite temperature. We have also discovered a new parton degree of freedom -- the connected sea partons, from the path-integral formulation of the hadronic tensor, which explains the experimentally observed Gottfried sum rule violation. Combining experimental result on the strange parton distribution, the CT10 global fitting results of the total u and d anti-partons and the lattice result of the ratio of the momentum fraction of the strange vs that of u or d in the disconnected insertion, we have shown that the connected sea partons can be isolated. In this final technical report, we shall present a few representative highlights that have been achieved in the project.« less

  2. Modeling charmonium-η decays of JP C=1- higher charmonia

    We propose a new model to create a light meson in the heavy quarkonium transition, which is inspired by the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Hadronic transitions of JP C=1- higher charmonia with the emission of an η meson are studied in the framework of the proposed model. The model shows its potential to reproduce the observed decay widths and make predictions for the unobserved channels. We present our predictions for the decay width of Ψ →J /ψ η and Ψ →hc(1 P )η , where Ψ are higher S and D wave vector charmonia, which provide useful references to search for higher charmonia and determine their properties in forthcoming experiments. The predicted branching fraction B (ψ (4415 )→hc(1 P )η )=4.62 ×10-4 is one order of magnitude smaller than the J /ψ η channel. Estimates of partial decay width Γ (Y →J /ψ η ) are given for Y (4360 ), Y (4390 ), and Y (4660 ) by assuming them as c c ¯ bound states with quantum numbers 33D1, 33D1, and 53S1, respectively. Our results are in favor of these assignments for Y (4360 ) and Y (4660 ). The corresponding experimental data for these Y states has large statistical errors which do not provide any constraint on the mixing angle if we introduce S -D mixing. To identify Y (4390 ), precise measurements on its hadronic branching fraction are required which are eagerly awaited from BESIII.

    We report the first observation of the Ξ c(2930)^0 charmed-strange baryon with a significance greater than 5σ . The Ξ c(2930)^0 is found in its decay to K^- Λ c^+ in B- → K- Λ c+ \\bar{Λ }c- decays. The measured mass and width are [2928.9 ± 3.0(stat.)^{+0.9}_{-12.0}(syst.)] MeV/c2 and [19.5 ± 8.4(stat.) ^{+5.9}_{-7.9}(syst.)] MeV, respectively, and the product branching fraction is B(B- → Ξ c(2930)^0 \\bar{Λ }c-) B(Ξ c(2930)^0 → K^- Λ c+)=[1.73 ± 0.45(stat.) ± 0.21(syst.)]× 10^{-4}. We also measure B(B- → K- Λ c+ \\bar{Λ }c-) = [4.80 ± 0.43(stat.) ± 0.60(syst.)] × 10^{-4} with improved precision, and search for the charmonium-like state Y(4660) and its spin partner, Y_{η }, in the Λ c+\\bar{Λ }c- invariant mass spectrum. No clear signals of the Y(4660) nor its spin partner are observed and the 90% credibility level (C.L.) upper limits on their production rates are determined. These measurements are obtained from a sample of (772± 11)× 106 B\\bar{B} pairs collected at the Υ (4S) resonance by the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric energy electron-positron collider.

    The nuclear modification factors of J/more » $$\\psi$$ and $$\\psi$$(2S) mesons are measured in PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of $$\\sqrt{s_{\\mathrm{NN}}} =$$ 5.02 TeV. The analysis is based on PbPb and pp data samples collected by CMS at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 464 $$\\mu$$b$$^{-1}$$ and 28 pb$$^{-1}$$, respectively. The measurements are performed in the dimuon rapidity range of $|y| <$ 2.4 as a function of centrality, rapidity, and transverse momentum (p$$_\\mathrm{T}$$) from p$$_\\mathrm{T}=$$ 3 GeV/$c$ in the most forward region and up to 50 GeV/$c$. Both prompt and nonprompt (coming from b hadron decays) mesons are observed to be increasingly suppressed with centrality, with a magnitude similar to the one observed at $$\\sqrt{s_{\\mathrm{NN}}}=$$ 2.76 TeV for the two J/$$\\psi$$ meson components. No dependence on rapidity is observed for either prompt or nonprompt J/$$\\psi$$ mesons. An indication of a lower prompt J/$$\\psi$$ meson suppression at p$$_\\mathrm{T} >$$ 25 GeV/$c$ is seen with respect to that observed at intermediate p$$_\\mathrm{T}$$. Furthermore, the prompt $$\\psi$$(2S) meson yield is found to be more suppressed than that of the prompt J/$$\\psi$$ mesons in the entire p$$_\\mathrm{T}$$ range.« less

    The relative modification of the prompt ψ(2S) and J/ψ yields from pp to PbPb collisions, at the center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair, is presented. The analysis is based on pp and PbPb data samples collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 28.0 pb -1 and 464 μb -1, respectively. The double ratio of measured yields of prompt charmonia reconstructed through their decays into muon pairs, (N ψ(2S)/N J/ψ) PbPb/(N ψ(2S)/N J/ψ) pp, is determined as a function of PbPb collision centrality and charmonium transverse momentum p T, in two kinematicmore » intervals: |y|<1.6 covering 6.5< pT<30 GeV/c and 1.6<|y|<2.4 covering 3< pT<30 GeV/c. The centrality-integrated double ratios are 0.36 ± 0.08(stat) ±0.05 (syst) in the first interval and 0.24 ± 0.22(stat) ± 0.09 (syst) in the second. The double ratio is lower than unity in all the measured bins, suggesting that the ψ(2S) yield is more suppressed than the J/ψ yield in the explored phase space.« less

    The relative modification of the prompt ψ(2S) and J/ψ yields from pp to PbPb collisions, at the center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair, is presented. The analysis is based on pp and PbPb data samples collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 28.0  pb^{-1} and 464  μb^{-1}, respectively. The double ratio of measured yields of prompt charmonia reconstructed through their decays into muon pairs, (N_{ψ(2S)}/N_{J/ψ})_{PbPb}/(N_{ψ(2S)}/N_{J/ψ})_{pp}, is determined as a function of PbPb collision centrality and charmonium transverse momentum p_{T}, in two kinematic intervals: |y|<1.6 covering 6.5

    The relative modification of the prompt ψ(2S) and J/ψ yields from pp to PbPb collisions, at the center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair, is presented. The analysis is based on pp and PbPb data samples collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2015, corresponding to integrated luminosities of 28.0 pb -1 and 464 μb -1, respectively. The double ratio of measured yields of prompt charmonia reconstructed through their decays into muon pairs, (N ψ(2S)/N J/ψ) PbPb/(N ψ(2S)/N J/ψ) pp, is determined as a function of PbPb collision centrality and charmonium transverse momentum p T, in two kinematicmore » intervals: |y|<1.6 covering 6.5< pT<30 GeV/c and 1.6<|y|<2.4 covering 3< pT<30 GeV/c. The centrality-integrated double ratios are 0.36 ± 0.08(stat) ±0.05 (syst) in the first interval and 0.24 ± 0.22(stat) ± 0.09 (syst) in the second. The double ratio is lower than unity in all the measured bins, suggesting that the ψ(2S) yield is more suppressed than the J/ψ yield in the explored phase space.« less

  10. High statistics study of in-medium S- and P-wave quarkonium states in lattice Non-relativistic QCD

    Many measurements of quarkonium suppression at the LHC, e.g. the nuclear modification factor RAA of J / Ψ, are well described by a multitude of different models. Thus pinpointing the underlying physics aspects is difficult and guidance based on first principles is needed. Here we present the current status of our ongoing high precision study of in-medium spectral properties of both bottomonium and charmonium based on NRQCD on the lattice. This effective field theory allows us to capture the physics of quarkonium without modeling assumptions in a thermal QCD medium. In our study a first principles and realistic description of the QCD medium is provided by state-of-the-art lattices of the HotQCD collaboration at almost physical pion mass. Our updated results corroborate a picture of sequential modification of states with respect to their vacuum binding energy. Using a novel low-gain variant of the Bayesian BR method for reconstructing spectral functions we find that remnant features of the Upsilon may survive up to T ∼ 400MeV, while the χb signal disappears around T ∼ 270MeV. The c c ‾ analysis hints at melting of χc below T ∼ 190MeV while some J / Ψ remnant feature might survive up to T ∼ 245MeV. An improved understanding of the numerical artifacts in the Bayesian approach and the availability of increased statistics have made possible a first quantitative study of the in-medium ground state masses, which tend to lower values as T increases, consistent with lattice potential based studies.

  11. Bottom and charm mass determinations from global fits to Q\\overline{Q} bound states at N3LO

    The bottomonium spectrum up to n = 3 is studied within Non-Relativistic Quantum Chromodynamics up to N3LO. We consider finite charm quark mass effects both in the QCD potential and the \\overline{MS} -pole mass relation up to third order in the Y-scheme counting. The u = 1 /2 renormalon of the static potential is canceled by expressing the bottom quark pole mass in terms of the MSR mass. A careful investigation of scale variation reveals that, while n = 1 , 2 states are well behaved within perturbation theory, n = 3 bound states are no longer reliable. We carry out our analysis in the n ℓ = 3 and n ℓ = 4 schemes and conclude that, as long as finite m c effects are smoothly incorporated in the MSR mass definition, the difference between the two schemes is rather small. Performing a fit to b\\overline{b} bound states we find {\\overline{m}}_b({\\overline{m}}_b) = 4 .216 ± 0 .039 GeV. We extend our analysis to the lowest lying charmonium states finding {\\overline{m}}_c({\\overline{m}}_c) = 1 .273 ± 0 .054 GeV. Finally, we perform simultaneous fits for {\\overline{m}}_b and α s finding {α}_s^{({n}_f=5)}({m}_Z)=0.1178± 0.0051 . Additionally, using a modified version of the MSR mass with lighter massive quarks we are able to predict the uncalculated O({α}_s^4) virtual massive quark corrections to the relation between the \\overline{MS} and pole masses.

  12. Phenomenology of Semileptonic B-Meson Decays with Form Factors from Lattice QCD

    2016-02-03

    We study the exclusive semileptonic B-meson decays B→K(π)ℓ +ℓ -, B→K(π)νν¯, and B→πτν, computing observables in the Standard model using the recent lattice-QCD results for the underlying form factors from the Fermilab Lattice and MILC Collaborations. These processes provide theoretically clean windows into physics beyond the Standard Model because the hadronic uncertainties are now under good control. The resulting partially-integrated branching fractions for B→πμ +μ - and B→Kμ +μ - outside the charmonium resonance region are 1-2σ higher than the LHCb Collaboration's recent measurements, where the theoretical and experimental errors are commensurate. The combined tension is 1.7σ. Combining the Standard-Modelmore » rates with LHCb's measurements yields values for the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements |V td|=7.45(69)×10 -3, |V ts|=35.7(1.5)×10 -3, and |V td/V ts|=0.201(20), which are compatible with the values obtained from neutral B (s)-meson oscillations and have competitive uncertainties. Alternatively, taking the CKM matrix elements from unitarity, we constrain new-physics contributions at the electroweak scale. Furthermore, the constraints on the Wilson coefficients Re(C 9) and Re(C 10) from B→πμ +μ - and B→Kμ +μ - are competitive with those from B→K*μ +μ -, and display a 2.0σ tension with the Standard Model. Our predictions for B→K(π)νν¯ and B→πτν are close to the current experimental limits.« less

    We study the processes e+e-→K+K-π+π-γ, K+K-π0π0γ, and K+K-K+K-γ, where the photon is radiated from the initial state. About 84 000, 8000, and 4200 fully reconstructed events, respectively, are selected from 454fb-1 of BABAR data. The invariant mass of the hadronic final state defines the e+e- center-of-mass energy, so that the K+K-π+π-γ data can be compared with direct measurements of the e+e-→K+K-π+π- reaction. No direct measurements exist for the e+e-→K+K-π0π0 or e+e-→K+K-K+K- reactions, and we present an update of our previous result based on a data sample that is twice as large. Studying the structure of these events, we find contributions from a number of intermediate states and extract their cross sections. In particular, we perform a more detailed study of the e+e-→ϕ(1020)ππγ reaction and confirm the presence of the Y(2175) resonance in the ϕ(1020)f0(980) and K+K-f0(980) modes. In the charmonium region, we observe the J/ψ in all three final states and in several intermediate states, as well as the ψ(2S) in some modes, and measure the corresponding products of branching fraction and electron width.

  14. Topics in nuclear chromodynamics: Color transparency and hadronization in the nucleus

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Brodsky, S.J.

    1988-03-01

    The nucleus plays two complimentary roles in quantum chromodynamics: (1) A nuclear target can be used as a control medium or background field to modify or probe quark and gluon subprocesses. Some novel examples are color transparency, the predicted transparency of the nucleus to hadrons participating in high momentum transfer exclusive reactions, and formation zone phenomena, the absence of hard, collinear, target-induced radiation by a quark or gluon interacting in a high momentum transfer inclusive reaction if its energy is large compared to a scale proportional to the length of the target. (Soft radiation and elastic initial state interactions inmore » the nucleus still occur.) Coalescence with co-moving spectators is discussed as a mechanism which can lead to increased open charm hadroproduction, but which also suppresses forward charmonium production (relative to lepton pairs) in heavy ion collisions. Also discussed are some novel features of nuclear diffractive amplitudes--high energy hadronic or electromagnetic reactions which leave the entire nucleus intact and give nonadditive contributions to the nuclear structure function at low /kappa cur//sub Bj/. (2) Conversely, the nucleus can be studied as a QCD structure. At short distances, nuclear wave functions and nuclear interactions necessarily involve hidden color, degrees of freedom orthogonal to the channels described by the usual nucleon or isobar degrees of freedom. At asymptotic momentum transfer, the deuteron form factor and distribution amplitude are rigorously calculable. One can also derive new types of testable scaling laws for exclusive nuclear amplitudes in terms of the reduced amplitude formalism.« less

  15. BEEC: An event generator for simulating the Bc meson production at an e+e- collider

    NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS)

    Yang, Zhi; Wu, Xing-Gang; Wang, Xian-You

    2013-12-01

    The Bc meson is a doubly heavy quark-antiquark bound state and carries flavors explicitly, which provides a fruitful laboratory for testing potential models and understanding the weak decay mechanisms for heavy flavors. In view of the prospects in Bc physics at the hadronic colliders such as Tevatron and LHC, Bc physics is attracting more and more attention. It has been shown that a high luminosity e+e- collider running around the Z0-peak is also helpful for studying the properties of Bc meson and has its own advantages. For this purpose, we write down an event generator for simulating Bc meson production through e+e- annihilation according to relevant publications. We name it BEEC, in which the color-singlet S-wave and P-wave (cb¯)-quarkonium states together with the color-octet S-wave (cb¯)-quarkonium states can be generated. BEEC can also be adopted to generate the similar charmonium and bottomonium states via the semi-exclusive channels e++e-→|(QQ¯)[n]>+Q+Q¯ with Q=b and c respectively. To increase the simulation efficiency, we simplify the amplitude as compact as possible by using the improved trace technology. BEEC is a Fortran program written in a PYTHIA-compatible format and is written in a modular structure, one may apply it to various situations or experimental environments conveniently by using the GNU C compiler make. A method to improve the efficiency of generating unweighted events within PYTHIA environment is proposed. Moreover, BEEC will generate a standard Les Houches Event data file that contains useful information of the meson and its accompanying partons, which can be conveniently imported into PYTHIA to do further hadronization and decay simulation. Catalogue identifier: AEQC_v1_0 Program summary URL:http://cpc.cs.qub.ac.uk/summaries/AEQC_v1_0.html Program obtainable from: CPC Program Library, Queen’s University, Belfast, N.

Computer: Any computer with Fortran compiler, the program is tested with GNU Fortran compiler and Intel Fortran compiler. Operating system: UNIX, Linux and Windows. RAM: About 2.0 MB. Classification: 11.2. Nature of problem: Production of charmonium, (cb¯)-quarkonium and bottomonium via e+e- annihilation channel around the Z0 peak. Solution method: The production of heavy (QQ)-quarkonium (Q,Q‧=b,c) via e+e- annihilation are estimated by using the improved trace technology. The (QQ)-quarkonium in color-singlet 1S-wave state, 1P-wave state, and the color-octet 1S-wave states have been studied within the framework of non-relativistic QCD. The code with option can generate weighted and unweighted events conveniently, in particular, the unweighted events are generated by using an improved hit-and-miss approach so as to improve the generating efficiency. Restrictions: The generator is aimed at the production of double heavy quarkonium through e+e- annihilation at the Z0 peak. The considered processes are those that are associated with two heavy quark jets, which could provide sizable quarkonium events around the Z0 peak. Running time: It depends on which option one chooses to match PYTHIA when generating the heavy quarkonium events. Typically, for the production of the S-wave quarkonium states, if setting IDPP=2 (unweighted events), then it takes about 2 h on a 2.9 GHz AMD Athlon (tm) II×4 635 Processor machine to generate 105 events; if setting IDPP=3 (weighted events), it takes only ˜16 min to generate 105 events. For the production of the P-wave quarkonium states, the time will be almost one hundred times longer than the case of the S-wave quarkonium.

  16. Decays of the vector glueball

    We calculate two- and three-body decays of the (lightest) vector glueball into (pseudo)scalar, (axial-)vector, as well as pseudovector and excited vector mesons in the framework of a model of QCD. While absolute values of widths cannot be predicted because the corresponding coupling constants are unknown, some interesting branching ratios can be evaluated by setting the mass of the yet hypothetical vector glueball to 3.8 GeV as predicted by quenched lattice QCD. We find that the decay mode ω π π should be one of the largest (both through the decay chain O →b1π →ω π π and through the direct coupling O →ω π π ). Similarly, the (direct and indirect) decay into π K K*(892 ) is sizable. Moreover, the decays into ρ π and K*(892 )K are, although subleading, possible and could play a role in explaining the ρ π puzzle of the charmonium state ψ (2 S ) thanks to a (small) mixing with the vector glueball. The vector glueball can be directly formed at the ongoing BESIII experiment as well as at the future PANDA experiment at the FAIR facility. If the width is sufficiently small (≲100 MeV ) it should not escape future detection. It should be stressed that the employed model is based on some inputs and simplifying assumptions: the value of glueball mass (at present, the quenched lattice value is used), the lack of mixing of the glueball with other quarkonium states, and the use of few interaction terms. It then represents a first step toward the identification of the main decay channels of the vector glueball, but shall be improved when corresponding experimental candidates and/or new lattice results will be available.

  18. Limits on the Decay-Rate Difference of Neutral-B Mesons and on CP, T, and CPT Violation in B0-antiB0 Oscillations

    Aubert, B

    2004-02-29

    Using events in which one of two neutral-B mesons from the decay of an {Upsilon}(4S) resonance is fully reconstructed, we set limits on the difference between the decay rates of the two neutral-B mass eigenstates and on CP, T, and CPT violation in B{sup 0}{bar B}{sup 0} mixing. The reconstructed decays, comprising both CP and flavor eigenstates, are obtained from 88 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory at SLAC. We determine six independent parameters governing oscillations ({Delta}m, {Delta}{Lambda}/{Lambda}), CPT and CP violation (Re z, Im z), and CP andmore » T violation (Im {lambda}{sub CP}, |q/p|), where {lambda}{sub cp} characterizes B{sup 0} and {bar B}{sup 0} decays to states of charmonium plus K{sub S}{sup 0} or K{sub L}{sup 0}. The results are sgn(Re {lambda}{sub CP}){Delta}{Lambda}/{Lambda} = .0.008 {+-} 0.037(stat.) {+-} 0.018(syst.) [-0.084, 0.068], |q/p| = 1.029 {+-} 0.013(stat.) {+-} 0.011(syst.)

The values inside square brackets indicate the 90% confidence-level intervals. The values of Im {lambda}{sub CP} and {Delta}m are consistent with previous analyses and are used as cross-checks.

  19. Three-body DD{pi} dynamics for the X(3872)

    DOE Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI.GOV)

    Baru, V.; Filin, A. A.; Hanhart, C.

    2011-10-01

    We investigate the role played by the three-body DD{pi} dynamics on the near-threshold resonance X(3872) charmonium state, which is assumed to be formed by nonperturbative DD{sup *} dynamics. It is demonstrated that, as compared to the naive static-pions approximation, the imaginary parts that originate from the inclusion of dynamical pions reduce substantially the width from the DD{pi} intermediate state. In particular, for a resonance peaked at 0.5 MeV below the D{sup 0}D{sup *0} threshold, this contribution to the width is reduced by about a factor of 2, and the effect of the pion dynamics on the width grows as longmore » as the resonance is shifted towards the D{sup 0}D{sup 0{pi}0} threshold. Although the physical width of the X is dominated by inelastic channels, our finding should still be of importance for the X line shapes in the DD{pi} channel below DD{sup *} threshold. For example, in the scattering length approximation, the imaginary part of the scattering length includes effects of all the pion dynamics and does not only stem from the D{sup *} width. Meanwhile, we find that another important quantity for the X phenomenology, the residue at the X pole, is weakly sensitive to dynamical pions. In particular, we find that the binding energy dependence of this quantity from the full calculation is close to that found from a model with pointlike DD{sup *} interactions only, consistent with earlier claims. Coupled-channel effects (inclusion of the charged DD{sup *} channel) turn out to have a moderate impact on the results.« less

    We build up a model to reproduce the experimentally measured R{sub AA} of J/psi near midrapidty in an Au+Au collision at sq root(s{sub NN})=200 GeV. The model takes into account the J/psi suppression from the quark-gluon plasma and hadron gas as well as the nuclear absorption of primordial charmonia and the regeneration effects at the hadronization stage and hence is a generalization of the two-component model introduced by Grandchamp and Rapp. The improvements in this work are twofold; the addition of the initial local temperature profile and a consistent use of QCD next-to-leading order (NLO) formula for both the dissociationmore » cross section in the hadron gas and the thermal decay widths in the quark-gluon plasma for the charmonium states. The initial local temperature profile is determined from the assumption that the local entropy density is proportional to a formula involving the number densities of the number of participants and of the binary collisions that reproduces the multiplicities of charged particles at chemical freeze-out. The initial local temperature profile brings about a kink in the R{sub AA} curve due to the initial melting of J/psi. The initially formed fireball, composed of weakly interacting quarks and gluons with thermal masses that are extracted from lattice QCD, follows an isentropic expansion with cylindrical symmetry. The fit reproduces well the Au+Au as well as the Cu+Cu data. The same method is applied to predict the R{sub AA} expected from the Pb+Pb collision at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energy.« less

    2005-06-23

    The primary goals of the BABAR experiment are the detection of CP violation (CPV) in the B meson system, the precise measurement of some of the elements of the CKM matrix and the measurement of the rates of rare B meson decays. At present, BABAR has achieved major successes: (1) the discovery, in neutral B decays, of direct and mixing-induced CP violation; (2) accurate measurements of the magnitudes of the CKM matrix elements |V cb| and |V ub|; (3) a precise measurement of the CKM parameter β {triple_bond} arg[- V cdV* cb/V tdV* tb]; (4) a first measurement of themore » CKM parameters α (triple bond) arg[- V tdV* tb/V udV* ub], γ (triple bond) arg[- V udV* ub/V cdV* cb]; and (5) the observation of several rare B decays and the discovery of new particles (in the charmed and charmonium mesons spectroscopy). However, the physics program of BABAR is not yet complete. Two of the key elements of this program that still need to be achieved are: (1) the observation of direct CP violation in charged B decays, which would constitute the first evidence of direct CPV in a charged meson decay; and (2) the precise measurement of α and γ, which are necessary ingredients for a stringent test of the Standard Model predictions in the quark electroweak sector. A possibility for the discovery of direct CP violation in charged B decays would be the observation of a non-vanishing rate asymmetry in the Cabibbo-suppressed decay B - → D 0 K -, with the D 0 decaying to either a CP-even or a CP-odd eigenstate. This class of decays can also provide theoretically-clean information on γ.« less

GEM uses the concept of gravity fields as Poynting fields to postulate that the non-metric portion of the EM stress tensor becomes the metric tensor in strong fields leading to "self-censorship". Covariant formulation of the GEM theory is accomplished through definition of the spacetime metric tensor as a portion of the EM stress tensor normalized by its own trace: gab = 4(FcaFcb )/(FabFab), it is found that this results in a massless ground state vacuum and a Newtonian gravitation potential f=1/2 E2/B2 =GM/r , where E, B and F are part of the vacuum Zero Point Fluctuation (ZPF) and M and r are the mass and distance from the center of a gravitating body and G is the Newton gravitation constant. It is found that a Lorentz flat-space metric is recovered in the limit of a vacuum full spectrum ZPF. The vacuum ZPF energy and vacuum quantities G, h, c, gives birth to particles quantities mp, me, e,-e in a process triggered by the appearance of the Kaluza-Klein fifth dimension, where also the EM and gravity forces split from each other in a process correlated to the splitting apart of protons and electrons. The separate appearance of the proton and electron occurs as the splitting of a light-like spacetime interval of zero-length into a finite space-like portion containing three subdimensions identified with the quarks and a time-like portion identified with the electron. The separation of mass with charge for the electron and proton pair comes about from a U(1) symmetry with a rotation in imaginary angle. A logarithmic variation of charge with mass for the proton-electron pair results and leads to the formula ln(ro/rp) = s, where s = (mp/me)1/2 , where mp and me are the electron and proton masses respectively and where ro =e2/moc2 , and where mo = (mpme)1/2 and where rp is the Planck length . This leads to the formula G=e2/mo2aexp(-2s)=6.6684x10-11 dynes-cm2/g2 , without free parameters, which is within 1 part per thousand of the measured value. We also have from the mass model, where q'/e = a-1/2 is the normalized Planck charge, and where MP is the Planck mass, a formula for the proton mass : mp=MP sq'/e = 1.71 x10-24g and thus is accurate to 2.5% , also without free parameters. GEM theory is now validated through the the Standard Model of physics. Derivation of the value of the Gravitation constant based on the observed variation of a with energy: results in the formula G @ hc/Mhc2 exp ( -1/(1.61a)), where a is the fine structure constant, h, is Plancks constant, c, is the speed of light, and Mhc is the mass of the hcc Charmonium meson and is shown to be identical to that derived from GEM postulates. GEM is thus consistent with quantum renormalization with an ultraviolet cutoff at the Planck length. More accurate values of G me and mp are found by perturbation theory.
