  2. Today: (mainly) mesons + recent discoveries. QCD reminder Conventional qq mesons (cc) Making new hadrons (hit things together) Glueballs and hybrids (gluonic excitations) MOST RECENT ARE: Trouble in charmed mesons Molecules, multiquarks and pentaquarks

  3. QCD: The Theory of the Strong Interaction QCD= quantum chromodynamics, ca. 1973 Theory of the strong “nuclear” force. It’s due to the exchange of spin-1 particles “gluons”gbetween spin-1/2 matter particles, “quarks”qandantiquarksq. Similar toQED (quantum electrodynamics), spin-1photons gare exchanged between spin-1/2electrons e- andpositrons e+. The basic rules of interaction “Feynman vertices” in this “non-Abelian quantum field theory” are that quarks and antiquarks can emit/absorb gluons, and [novel]gluons interact with gluons.

  4. Comparing QED and QCD. (lagrangians) “It’s déjà vu all over again.” -Y.Berra

  5. basic physics of QCD Small qq separation Large qq separation

  6. LGT simulation showing the QCD flux tube Q Q R = 1.2 [fm] “funnel-shaped” VQQ(R) Coul. (OGE) linear conft. (str. tens. = 16 T) The QCD flux tube (LGT, G.Bali et al; hep-ph/010032)

  7. Quarks Minimal solution for quarks needed to explain the known light hadrons: (1964, Gell-Mann, Zweig; Ne’eman): All JP = ½ + (fermions) u Q = +2/3 e (u,d very similar in mass) d Q = -1/3 e s Q = -1/3 e (somewhat heavier) Thus p = uud, n = udd, D++ = uuu, L = uds, p+ = ud, K+ = us, etc.

  8. qqq baryons The lightest qqq baryon octet. (SU(3) symmetry.) 3 x 3 x 3 = 10 + 8 + 8 + 1

  9. qq meson The lightest qq meson octet. (SU(3) symmetry.) 3 x 3 = 8 + 1

  10. The six types or “flavors” of quarks . Gens. I,II,III. Label Name Q/|e| I Iz ca. mass habitat u up +2/3 ½ +½ 5 MeV p(938)=uud, n(940)=udd,… d down -1/3 ½ -½ 10 MeV p+(135)=udp-(135)=du,… s strange -1/3 0 (etc) 150 MeV strange hadrons; L=uds,K+=us,… c charm +2/3 1500 MeV y family (cc); opencharm hadrons; Do =cu, D+=cd; Ds+=csLc+=udc, … b bottom -1/3 5 GeV U family (bb); open b hadrons t top +2/3 175 GeV t decays too quickly to hadronize

  11. g2, g3,… qqg, q3g,… q2q2, q4q,… glueballs hybrids multiquarks maybe 1 e.g. maybe 1-3 e.g.s “Naïve” physically allowed hadrons (color singlets) _ Conventional quark model mesons and baryons. qq q3 100s of e.g.s “exotica” :

  12. qq mesonsstates First, some conventional hadrons (qq mesons) to illustrate forces. The quark model treats conventional mesons as qq bound states. Since each quark has spin-1/2, the total spin is Sqq tot = ½ x ½ = 1 + 0 Combining this with orbital angular momentum Lqqgives states of total Jqq = Lqqspin singlets Jqq = Lqq+1, Lqq, Lqq-1spin triplets

  13. qq mesonsquantum numbers ParityPqq = (-1)(L+1) C-parity Cqq = (-1)(L+S) The resulting qq NL states N2S+1LJ have JPC= 1S: 3S11-- ; 1S00 -+ 2S: 23S11-- ; 21S00 -+ … 1P: 3P22+ + ; 3P11+ + ; 3P00+ + ; 1P11+-2P … 1D: 3D33- - ; 3D22- - ; 3D11- - ; 1D22-+2D … JPC forbidden to qq are called “JPC-exotic quantum numbers” : 0- - ; 0+ - ; 1- + ; 2+ - ; 3- + … Plausible JPC-exotic candidates = hybrids, glueballs (high mass), maybe multiquarks (fall-apart decays).

  14. How to make new hadrons (strongly int. particles): Hit things together. A + B -> final state You may see evidence for a new resonance in the decay products. J/y and other 1-- cc Some reactions are “clean”, like e+e--> hadrons. e.g.s SLAC, DESY 1970s Now: CLEO-c, BES cc B-factories bb (SLAC, KEK) W,Z machines (LEP@CERN)

  15. Charmonium (cc) • A nice example of a QQ spectrum. • Expt. states (blue) are shown with the usual L classification. Above 3.73 GeV: Open charm strong decays (DD, DD* …): broader states except 1D2 2- +, 2- - 3.73 GeV Below 3.73 GeV: Annihilation and EM decays. (rp, KK* , gcc, gg, l+l-..): narrow states.

  16. Fitted and predicted cc spectrum Coulomb (OGE) + linear scalar conft. potential model blue = expt, red = theory. L*S OGE – L*S conft, T OGE as = 0.5538 b = 0.1422 [GeV2] mc = 1.4834 [GeV] s = 1.0222 [GeV] S*S OGE

  17. What about LGT??? An e.g.: X.Liao and T.Manke, hep-lat/0210030 (quenched – no decay loops) Broadly consistent with the cc potential model spectrum. No radiative or strong decay predictions yet. cc from LGT <-1- + exotic cc-H at 4.4 GeV Small L=2 hfs. oops… 1+ - cc has been withdrawn.

  18. Sector of the 1st shocking new discovery: cs S P

  19. LGT 0+: 2.44 - 2.47 GeV. S P

  20. Where it all started. BABAR: D*sJ(2317)+ in Ds+p0 D.Aubert et al. (BABAR Collab.), PRL90, 242001 (2003). M = 2317 MeV (2 Ds channels), G < 9 MeV (expt. resolution) “Who ordered that !?” - I.I.Rabi (about the m-) Since confirmed by CLEO, Belle and FOCUS. (Theorists expected L=1 cs states, e.g. JP=0+, but with a LARGE width and at a much higher mass.) …

  21. And another! CLEO: D*sJ(2463)+ in Ds*+p0 D.Besson et al. (CLEO Collab.), PRD68, 032002 (2003). M = 2463 MeV, G < 7 MeV (expt. resolution) Since confirmed by BABAR and Belle. M = 2457 MeV. A JP=1+partner of the possibly 0+ D*sJ(2317)+cs ?

  22. (Godfrey and Isgur potential model.) Prev. (narrow) expt. states in gray. DK threshold

  23. Theorists’ responses to the BaBar states Approx. 100 theoretical papers have been published since the discovery. There are two general schools of thought: 1) They are cs quark model mesons, albeit at a much lower mass than expected by the usual NRQPMs. [Fermilab] 2) They are “multiquark” states. (DK molecules) [UT,Oxon,Weiz.] 3) They are somewhere between 1) and 2). [reality]

  24. 2. They are multiquark states (DK molecules)[UT,Oxon,Weiz.] T.Barnes, F.E.Close, H.J.Lipkin, hep-ph/0305025, PRD68, 054006 (2003). 3. reality Recall Weinstein and Isgur’s “KKbar molecules”.

  25. X(3872) Another recent shock to the system: BelleCollab. K.Abe et al, hep-ex/0308029; S.-K.Choi et al, hep-ex/0309032, PRL91 (2003) 262001. B+ / - -> K+ / -p+p-J /Y (From e+e- collisions at KEK.) cc sector y(3770) = 3D1 cc. If the X(3872)is 1D cc, an L-multiplet is split much more than expected assuming scalar conft. G < 2.3MeV M = 3872.0 +- 0.6 +- 0.5 MeV

  26. Fitted and predicted cc spectrum Coulomb (OGE) + linear scalar conft. potential model blue = expt, red = theory. X(3872) not cc ???

  27. CDF II Collab. D.Acosta et al, hep-ex/0312021, PRL to appear X(3872) confirmation (from Fermilab) G.Bauer, QWG presentation, 20 Sept. 2003. n.b. most recent CDF II: M = 3871.3 pm 0.7 pm 0.4 MeV X(3872) also confirmed by D0Collab. at Fermilab. Perhaps also seen by BaBar OK, it’s real…

  28. M = 3872.0 +- 0.6 +- 0.5 MeV Accidental agreement? If not cc 2- + or 2- - or …, a molecular (DD*) state? M( Do + D*o) = 3871.5 +- 0.5 MeV X(3872) n.b. M( D+ + D*-) = 3879.5 +- 0.7MeV Charm in nuclear physics???

  29. Glueballs: Theor. masses (LGT) The glueball spectrum from an anisotropic lattice study Colin Morningstar, Mike Peardon Phys. Rev. D60 (1999) 034509 The spectrum of glueballs below 4 GeV in the SU(3) pure-gauge theory is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations of gluons on several anisotropic lattices with spatial grid separations ranging from 0.1 to 0.4 fm.

  30. How to make new hadrons (strongly int. particles) (II): Hit more things together. A + B -> final state You may see evidence for a new resonance in the decay products. Reactions between hadrons (traditional approach) are “rich” but usually poorly understood. All light-q and g mesons, incl. qq, glueballs, hybrids, multiquarks. e.g.s BNL p-p -> mesons + baryon LEAR (CERN) pp annih.

  31. Glueball discovery? Crystal Barrel expt. (LEAR@CERN, ca. 1995) pp->p0 p0 p0 Evidence for a scalar resonance, f0(1500) ->p0 p0 n.b. Some prefer a different scalar, f0(1710) -> hh, KK. PROBLEM: Neither f0 decays in a naïve glueball flavor-symmetric way to pp, hh, KK. qq<-> G mixing?

  32. Hybrid meson?JPC = 1-+ exotic. (Can’t be qq.) E852@BNL, ca. 1996 p-p -> (p-h’) p (Current best of several reactions and claimed exotics.) p1(1600) Follow up expts planned at a new meson facility at CEBAF; “HallD” or GlueX. a2(1320) qq exotic

  33. (Too?) exciting news: the pentaquark at CLAS (CEBAF). nK+ = (udd)(us) = u2d2s. Can’t be a 3 quark baryon! A “flavor exotic” multiquark (if it exists). ( > 200 papers)

  34. An experiment expressly designed to detect “pentaquarks” confirms the existence of these exotic physics particles, researchers reported Sunday. […] Physicists are cautious about leaping onto the pentaquark bandwagon because of past bad experiences […] USA Today 3 May 2004

  35. The multiquark fiasco “These are very serious charges you’re making, and all the more painful to us, your elders, because we still have nightmares from five times before.” - village elder, “Young Frankenstein”

  36. The dangerous 1970s multiquark logic: (which led to the multiquark fiasco) The known hadron resonances, qq and qqq (and qqq) exist because they are color singlets. Therefore all higher Fock space “multiquark” color singlet sectors will also possess hadron resonances. q2q2 “baryonia” q6 “dibaryons” q4q “Z*” for q = s … now “pentaquarks” MANY theoretical predictions of avery rich spectrumof multiquark resonances followed in the 1970s/early 1980s. (Bag model, potential models, QCD_SRs, color chemistry,…)

  37. The simplest e.g. of had-had scat: I=2pp. (A flavor-exotic 27 channel, no s-channel qq resonances, so no qq annihilation. Similar to the NN and BB’ problems.) Q = +2 channel No qq states. u2d2? I=2 pp S-wave d 0I=2 [deg] No I=2 q2q2 resonance at 1.2 GeV. (Bag model prediction, would give Dd = + 180 [deg] there.) Expt sees only repulsive pp scat. Mpp [GeV]

  38. Why are there no multiquark resonances? “Fall-Apart Decay” (actually not a decay at all: no HI ) Most multiquark models found that most channels showed short distance repulsion: E(cluster) > M1 + M2. Thus no bound states. Only 1+2 repulsive scattering. Exceptions: 2) E(cluster) < M1 + M2, bag model: u2d2s2 H-dibaryon, MH - MLL = - 80 MeV. n.b. LLhypernuclei exist, so this H was wrong. 1) nuclei and hypernuclei weak int-R attraction allows “molecules” “VLL(R)” VNN(R) -2mN -2mL 3) Heavy-light R R Q2q2 (Q=b, c?)

  39. (q2q2),(q4q),… (q3)n, (qq)(qq),(qq)(q3),… multiquark clusters ??? nuclei / molecules controversial e.g. Q(1542)? ca. 106 e.g.s of (q3)n, maybe 1-3 others g2, g3,… qqg, q3g,… q2q2, q4q,… glueballs hybrids multiquarks maybe 1 e.g. maybe 1-3 e.g.s Post-fiasco physically allowed hadrons (color singlets) “Naïve” physically allowed hadrons (color singlets) _ Conventional quark model mesons and baryons. qq q3 100s of e.g.s Basis state mixing may be very important in some sectors. ”exotica” :

  40. Does it exist? ca. 10 expt. refs confirm and 10 don’t (incl. HEP). Follow-up expts. at CLAS (CEBAF) in progress. They aren’t talking (in public). Sell now.

  41. Summary and conclusions: 1) We now understand EM, weak and strong forces as a single theory, called the standard model (SM). Gravity is not yet included. 2) Both SM components (electroweak and strong int) are very similar renormalizable QFTs of the type known as “non-Abelian gauge theories”. 3) The strong int is described by QCD, a gauge theory of quarks and gluons. Recent developments are concerned with the possible existence of “exotica” - glueballs, hybrids and multiquarks, and charmed mesons much at lower masses than expected. Derivation of nuclear forces (e.g. NN) from QCD is an interesting, open topic.
