Exotic states and candidates

Talk

I will discuss recent progress in studying the spectra of mesons using first-principles lattice QCD calculations. In particular, some results on excited mesons, resonances and related phenomena in the light and heavy sectors will be highlighted, including work relevant for puzzling/exotic states such as the Ds(2317). I will also comment on future prospects.

153. Heavy-quark spin-symmetry partners of hadronic molecules

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

Implications of heavy-quark spin-symmetry (HQSS) are investigated for the isoscalar charmonium-like state $X(3872)$ and the isovector bottomonium-like states $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ under the assumption of the latter being bound states of the nearby heavy meson-antimeson pairs (see Refs. [1,2] for more details). We formulate and solve a system of the integral equations for a...

152. Molecules of hadrons bound by pion exchange

Timothy Burns

25/09/2017, 15:55

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

Heavy hadrons interacting via pion exchange can form bound states (hadronic molecules), analogous to conventional nuclei. A large number of possible states is controlled by the same interaction potential, and although the binding energy in a given channel depends sensitively on the details of the potential, the overall pattern of binding does not. In particular, bound states arise only for a...

3. Hidden charm pentaquarks and tetraquark states

Hua-Xing Chen (Beihang University)

26/09/2017, 14:30

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

In the past decade many charmonium-like states were observed experimentally, including many charmonium-like XYZ states and the hidden-charm pentaquark states Pc(4380) and Pc(4450). We systematically investigate their mass spectra using the method of QCD sum rules. Especially, we pay attention to their internal structure by constructing all the relevant local hidden-charm tetraquark and...

The BESIII Experiment at the Beijing Electron Positron Collider (BEPC2) has accumulated the world's largest samples of e+e- collisions in the tau-charm region. Based on these data samples, some new results from the Y(4260) decays will be shown.

106. Y(4260) and Phi(2170) as exotic vector mesons

Dr Sachiko Takeuchi (Japan College of Social Work)

26/09/2017, 15:35

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

The $u\overline{u}c\overline{c}$, $u\overline{u}b\overline{b}$, and $u\overline{u}s\overline{s}$ $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ states are investigated by a coupled-channel two-meson model. We used the complex scaling method with 14 two-meson channels with an effective hadron interaction originated from interaction between quarks. The coupling between channels is obtained from the quark rearrangement.

We...

284. Status of exotic states at ATLAS

Ivan Yeletskikh (Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (RU))

27/09/2017, 09:00

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

We review the status of searches and measurements of exotic hadron states at ATLAS. Among them: the search for the beauty partner of $X(3872)$ charmonium state, the measurement of differential cross-section of the prompt and non-prompt production of $X(3872)$ in the $J/\psi \pi \pi$ final states, the search for the structure in the $B_s \pi$ invariant mass, reported by D0 experiment, search...

89. Study of the $DK K$ and $DK \bar{K}$ systems

Vinicius Rodrigues Debastiani (IFIC, University of Valencia)

27/09/2017, 09:25

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

Using the Fixed Center Approximation to Faddeev equations we have investigated the $DKK$ and $DK\bar{K}$ three-body systems, with the input of two-body interactions obtained from the chiral unitary approach, and considering that the $D^*_{s0}(2317)$, generated from the $DK$ interaction, acts as the heavy cluster. For the $DK\bar{K}$ system we have found evidence of a state with...

199. : Analysis of X(4140) like states and their radial excitations in QCD

Dr arzu türkan (ozyegin university)

27/09/2017, 09:45

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

In this work, we investigate the ground states and their radial excitations which couple to scalar, axial vector and tensor, molecular and diquark-antidiquark currents via QCD sum rules. In operator product expansion, we considered quark, gluon and mixed condansates up to dimension eight. For the ground states coupling to these currents, we estimated degenerate masses within 10 MeV...

208. The nature of the $X(3915)/X(3930)$ resonances from a coupled-channels approach

Dr Pablo Garcia Ortega (University of Salamanca)

27/09/2017, 10:05

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

The measured properties of the $X(3915)$ and $X(3930)$ make difficult their theoretical
description. These charmonium resonances, firstly detected by the
Belle and BaBar Collaborations in $\gamma\gamma$ fusion process, were measured
in different final channels: the $X(3915)$ was discovered in the $\omega J/\psi$ [1, 2] invariant mass distribution whereas the $X(3930)$ was seen in the...

173. $D^*_0(2400)$ (and partners) from unitarity, heavy quark spin-flavor and chiral symmetries

Dr Miguel Albaladejo (Universidad de Murcia)

27/09/2017, 10:25

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

In this talk we will study the implications on heavy hadron molecules (containing one constituent heavy quark) of heavy quark spin-flavor and chiral symmetries (together with unitarity). We start by studing the $D\pi$, $D\eta$ and $D_s \bar{K}$ scattering with $(I,J^P) = (1/2,0^+)$ quantum numbers. In this sector there appears the so far only known charmed non-strange scalar meson, namely...

35. Multiquark states

Alessandro Pilloni (Jefferson Lab)

27/09/2017, 11:15

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

The observation of the unexpected $XYZ$ resonances has challenged the ordinary heavy quarkonium framework, and their microscopic nature remains an unsettled topic.
We review the status of the multiquark phenomenology, and show how the large prompt production cross-section of the $X(3872)$, compared with the light nuclei production data, disfavors loosely-bound molecules, and calls for other...

198. Charm tetraquarks in lattice QCD

Gavin Cheung (University of Cambridge)

27/09/2017, 11:40

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

We present a recent lattice QCD investigation of charm tetraquarks. After describing some of our new methodology, we demonstrate its use in calculations with unphysically heavy light quarks such that the pion mass is 391 MeV. Spectra in the doubly charmed and hidden charmed sector will be shown including those which are of relevance to the experimentally observed charged $Z_c$ states.

288. Effects of $Z_b$ states in $\Upsilon(3S, 4S)$ dipion transitions

Feng-Kun Guo

27/09/2017, 12:00

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

There has been a long-standing puzzle in understanding why the dipion invariant distribution for the $ \Upsilon(3S) \to \Upsilon(1S) \pi \pi$ transition shows a double-bump structure while other analogous transitions have only one. By including the $\pi \pi$ final state interaction and effects from the $Z_b$ states, we show that this phenomenon can be understood. However, this requires the...

116. Masses of $T_{4c}$ tetra quark state in a relativistic formalism

Prof. Vinodkumar P.C. (Department of Physics, Sardar Patel University)

27/09/2017, 12:20

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

After the discovery of X(3872) many new and unexplained X Y Z states have been discovered experimentally in recent times [1]. It has helped in our faith towards the existence of multi quark states. Most of these unknown states consist of hidden heavy quark anti quark pair with combinations of quark/antiquark in the lighter sector (cq$\bar{c}$ $\bar{q}$or bq$\bar{b}$ $\bar{q}$ where q ϵ u, d,...

124. Search for the X(5568) state in the Bs pi decays

Ruslan Chistov (National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (RU))

27/09/2017, 12:40

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

The evidence for an unexpected narrow Bs pi structure claimed by the D0 Collaboration and named X(5568) has triggered its search in other hadron collider experiments including CMS. Its interest resides in its possible interpretation as a compact hadronic state composed of four different quark flavours (udsb). The CMS search is performed using an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb^-1 of pp...

256. Status of Exotics at Belle

Simon Eidelman (Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS and Novosibirsk State University)

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

We describe studies of heavy states with charm and beauty in
the Belle experiment. Particular attention is drawn to production
and decays of heavy quarkonia for which the interpretation is
not yet clear. Also discussed is a search for a pentaquark.

192. Hidden charm pentaquarks in $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi K^- p$ decay

Luis Roca

28/09/2017, 14:55

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

In this talk I would like to present a series of theoretical works
regarding the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi K^- p$ reaction from where a recent experiment by the LHCb collaboration at CERN claimed the existence of
two hidden charm pentaquarks, $P_c(4380)^+$ and
$P_c(4450)^+$.
We discuss the possible explanations of the pentaquark states found within the picture of a dynamical meson-baryon...

18. Shedding light on Hexaquarks

Dr Mikhail Bashkanov (University of Edinburgh)

28/09/2017, 15:15

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

Several new findings in the four, five and six quark systems reheat the interest in the field of multiquark states (beyond trivial $q\bar q$ and qqq). A lot of progress has recently been made in the 6q sector, on both the theoretical and experimental side. A resonance like structure observed in double-pionic fusion to the deuteron, at M=2.38 GeV with $\Gamma=70 MeV$ and $I(J^P )=0(3^+)$ has...

164. Status of the Dibaryon Resonance d*(2380) *)

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

The dibaryon resonance d*(2380) with I(JP) = 0(3+) -- first observed in the
double-pionic fusion to the deuteron [1] -- has meanwhile been detected in all
relevant two-pion production channels in incident neutron-proton collisions
[2]. In addition, its resonance pole has been revealed in neutron-proton
scattering [3].
Theoretical calculations describe this state either as a compact hexaquark...

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

Recent Lattice QCD predictions for the mass of H-dibaryon pointing to the mass region near $\Lambda\Lambda$ and $\Xi^-p$ thresholds encourage experimental searches. A dedicated experiment (J-PARC E42) has been prepared for hunting the H-dibaryon close to $\Lambda\Lambda$ and $\Xi^-p$ thresholds. The experiment was
designed to measure $\Lambda p\pi^-$, $\Lambda\Lambda$ and ?$\Xi^-p$...

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

Exotic charmonium-like XYZ states have been targeted by various experiments in the last 15 years,
but their nature still is unknown. Photo-(muo)production, is a new promising instrument to study them.
COMPASS, a fixed target experiment at CERN, analyzed the full set of the data collected with a
muon beam between 2002 and 2011, covering the range from 7 GeV to 19 GeV in the centre-of-mass...

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

We will present an introduction to the physics of exotic charmonium, describing
the most popular configurations proposed for these states: tetraquark and meson molecules. I will then show how these states can be produced in hadronic collisions and in heavy ion collisions, both in central and peripheral reactions. I
will present our latest results on the production cross sections,...

119. Exotic states at threshold and threshold scan at PANDA@FAIR

Dr Elisabetta Prencipe (Forschungszentrum Juelich)

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

The future experiment PANDA@FAIR is a fix-target ppbar machine that will run in the energy range [1.5-15.0] GeV, and it is supposed to reach a peak luminosity of about 2 * 10^31 cm-2 s-1 in the first phase of data taking. This will allow to perform a number of analyses which are suppressed or forbidden at e+e- colliders, especially in the sector of charm- and charmonium physics. To investigate...

266. Plans for exotic bottomonium-like states at Belle II

Umberto Tamponi (INFN Torino (IT))

29/09/2017, 10:05

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

Large mass, non-relativistic dynamics, large energy level spacing and clear
experimental signature are unique characteristics of the bottomonium states
that make this sector so rich with a wide range of opportunities for new
studies, ranging from the the spin structure of QCD to the extensions of the SM
Lagrangian, from the non-$q\bar{q}$ states and light quarks dynamics to the
gluon...

151. Lambda_b --> J/Psi phi Lambda decay and search for exotic hadrons

Volodymyr Magas (Departament de Fisica Quantica i Astrofisica and Institut de Ciencies del Cosmos, Universitat de Barcelona)

29/09/2017, 10:25

Exotic states and candidates

Talk

We study the weak decay of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon into $J/\Psi \phi \Lambda$ states and the possibility of producing exotic hadrons via final state interaction in $J/\Psi \phi$ and $J/\Psi \Lambda$ channels.

The elementary weak transition at the quark level proceeds via the creation of a $J/\Psi (\bar{c} c)$ meson and an excited sud system with I = 0, which upon hadronization leads...
