  1. Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS Manifestation of intermediate meson loop effects in charmonium decays Qiang Zhao Institute of High Energy Physics, CAS and Theoretical Physics Center for Science Facilities (TPCSF), CAS The 5-th International Conference on Quarks and Nuclear Physics, Beijing, Sept. 22, 2009

  2. Motivations • Charmonium decays as a probe for non-perturbative QCD mechanisms • Several exisiting puzzles in low-lying vector charmonium decays

  3. Several well-known puzzles in charmonium decays • (3770) non-DD decay • “ puzzle” in J/,   VP decay • M1 transition problem in J/,    c, ( c) • Isospin-violating decay of  J/ 0, and hc0 • … … Conjecture: These puzzles could be related to non-pQCD mechanisms in charmonium decays due to intermediate D meson loops.

Nevertheless, such effects behave differently in the kinematics below or above the threshold. 0 (L=0,S=0) 1 (L=0,S=1) 1 (L=2,S=1)

  10. (3770) non-DD decay • Experimental discrepancies: Exclusive DD cross sections are measured at BES and CLEO-c:

  11. BES-II: non-DD branching ratio can be up to 15% CLEO-c: The lower bound suggests the maximum of non-DD b.r. is about 6.8%.

  12. Inclusive non-DD hadronic cross sections from BES

  13. Theoretical discrepancies: In theory

  14. Short-range pQCD transition; • Color-octet contributions are included; • 2S-1D state mixings are small; • NLO correction is the same order of magnitude as LO. • Results do not favor both CLEO and BES • NNLO ? pQCD calculation: BR(non-DD) < 5% Q: How about the long-range non-pQCD mechanisms?

  15. Recognition of possible long-range transition mechanisms • pQCD (non-relativistic QCD): • If the heavy cc are good constituent degrees of freedom, c and c annihilate at the origin of the (cc) wavefunction. Thus, NRQCD should be valid. • pQCD is dominant in (3770)  light hadrons via 3g exchange, hence the OZI rule will be respected. •  (3770) non-DD decay will be suppressed. • Non-pQCD: • Are the constituent cc good degrees of freedom for (3770)  light hadrons? Or is pQCD dominant at all? • If not, how the OZI rule is violated? • Could the OZI-rule violation led to sizeable (3770) non-DD decay? • How to quantify it?

  16. Recognition of long-range transition mechanisms in spectrum studies Hadronic loop contributions as unquenched effects in charmonium spectrum See talk by E. Swanson at Charmed Exotics, Bad Honnef, Germany and T. Barnes and E. Swanson, PRC77, 055206 (2008) Li, Meng and Chao, PRD80, 014012(2009)

  17. Recognition of long-range transition mechanisms in (3770) non-DD decays Short-range pQCD transition via single OZI (SOZI) process Long-range OZI evading transition M1 g c M1 (3770) (3770) M2 c* M2

  19. The V  VP transition has only one single coupling of anti-symmetric tensor form Transition amplitude can thus be decomposed as: Long-range non-pQCD amp. Short-range pQCD amp.

  20. Effective Lagrangians for meson couplings Coupling constants:

  21. i) Determine long-range parameter in (3770)  J/ . (3770) J/ (3770) J/   • Soft  production • - mixing is considered • a form factor is needed to kill the loop integral divergence The cut-off energy for the divergent meson loop integral can be determined by data, and then extended to other processes.

  22. ii) Determine short-range parameter combing (3770)   and (3770)  . Relative strengths among pQCD transition amplitudes:

  23. iii) Predictions for (3770)  VP.

  25. Remarks • The t-channel transition is much more important than the s channel. • The s-channel can be compared with Rosner’s (2S)-(1D) mixing. • The only sizeable s channel is in (3770)  J/. It adds to the t-channel amplitude constructive. In contrast, the isospin-violating (3770)  J/0 experiences a destructive interference between the s and t channel. • There exists a strong correlation between the SOZI parameter gS and phase angle . • It is essential to have precise measurement of all the VP channels, i.e. , K*K+c.c. etc.

  26. More evidences are needed … • In most cases, the estimate of loop contributions will suffer from cut-off uncertainties. Thus, one should look for systematic constraints on the model uncertainties in all relevant processes. …

  27. Coherent study of the (3686)  VP is needed. In particular, It is important to investigate the meson loop effects in the problems of e.g. “ puzzle”, J/ and (3686) radiative decay. [see e.g. Zhao, Li and Chang, PLB645, 173(2007); Li, Zhao, and Chang, JPG (2008); Zhao, Li and Chang, arXiv:0812.4092[hep-ph], and work in progress] • The relevant isospin-violating channels as a correlation with the OZI-rule violation (OZI-rule evading) process, e.g.   J/ 0. [Guo, Hanhart, and Meissner, arXiv:0907.0521, PRL2009] • An analogue to the (3770) non-DD decay: the (1020) non-KK decay [see Li, Zhao and Zou, PRD77, 014010(2008); Li, Zhang and Zhao, JPG36, 085008(2009)]. • ……

  28. “ puzzle” and “12% rule”

  29. “ puzzle” and “12% rule” • pQCD expectation of the ratio between J/ and ' annihilation: • “ puzzle” R() =  0.2 % Large “12% rule” violation in  ! g c c * JPC = 1 J/, ' J/, ' c* c*

  30. Theoretical explanations: • 1. J/   is enhanced • J/-glueball mixing: • Freund and Nambu, Hou and Soni, Brodsky, Lepage and Tuan • Final state interaction: • Li, Bugg and Zou • Intrinsic charmonium component within light vectors: • Brodsky and Karliner, Feldman and Kroll • 2. '   is suppressed • Karl and Roberts: sequential fragmentation model • Pinsky: hindered M1 transition model • Chaichian and Tornqvist: exponential form factor model • Chen and Braaten: color octet Fock state dominance in J/ • Rosner: ' and " mixing • Suzuki: possible hadronic excess in (2S) decay • 3. Others … Recent review by Yuan et al.

  34. The property of antisymmetric VVP coupling suggests that one can investigate the origin of the “ puzzle” between the strong and EM transitions. • The EM transition can be investigated by vector meson dominance (VMD) model. • The strong transition amplitude contributes to both isospin-conserved and isospin-violated transitions.

  35. EM transitions in VMD VP coupling: V* coupling: Transition amplitude:

  36. I. Determine gVP in V   P  V P

  37. II. Determine e/fV in V  e+ e- e+ * V e-

  38. III. Determine gP in P    P  IV. Form factors Corrections to the V*P vertices: All the relevant data are available !

  39. V. Isospin-violated channel We determine the cut-off energy  in the form factor by fitting the experimental branching ratios for the isospin-violating J/ and  decays. By taking the branching ratio fractions, it shows that the 12% rule is approximately satisfied. Rth(%) Rexp(%)  parameter is determined by assuming the dominance of EM transition in isospin-violated channels. It should be refitted when strong isospin violation is included.

  44. Unanswered questions • What is the origin of the strong coupling suppression on the   VP? • What is the role played by long-range interactions? • What is the correlation between the long-range interaction with the OZI-rule-evading mechanisms? Mechanisms suppressing the   VP strong decays should be clarified!

  45. Mechanism suppressing the strong decay amplitudes of   VP Open-charm effects as an OZI-rule evading mechanism D  J/ () c D* 0 c D • Interferences among the single OZI, EM and intermediate meson loop transitions are unavoidable.

  48. Not include sign.

  49. Some features about the open charm • The intermediate meson loops will contribute to the real part of the couplings since both J/ and are below the open charm threshold. • Since the has a mass which is closer to the open DD threshold, its amplitude via the DD loop will be qualitatively larger than J/ due to near-threshold effects. • Similar behavior due to intermediate DD(D*) and DD*(D) loops also shows up in a coherent study of J/ and cand c. (Li & Zhao, PLB670, 55(2008)) • Light intermediate meson loops are strongly suppressed due to large off-shell effects.

  50. Summary • Open DD channel effects seems to be essential for understanding some of the puzzles in the low-lying charmonium decays. • (3770) non-DD decays • “ puzzle” in J/, ’  VP • M1 transition problem in J/,    c, ( c) • Isospin violating decay of  J/0 • However, the quantitative calculations are sensitive to cut-off energy and exhibit model-dependent aspects. • Systematic examinations of such a mechanism in different circumstances are necessary. • Experimental data from BES, CLEO-c, KLOE, and B-factories will further clarify those issues.
