A phenomenological potential with two tunable parameters is introduced to describe the color interactions between quarks and antiquarks. The interactions drive the process of hadronization that finally results in different color neutral clusters, which can be identified as hadrons based on some criteria. A Monte Carlo generator PYTHIA is used to generate quarks in the initial state of hadronization, and different values of tunable parameters are used to study the final state distributions and correlations. Baryon-to-meson ratio, transverse momentum spectra, pseudorapidity distributions and forward-backward multiplicity correlations of hadrons produced in the hadronization process, obtained from this model with different parameters, are compared with those from PYTHIA.展开更多

As one of the earliest candidates for a quantum chromodynamics exotic states, its interpretation has initiated various ideas about possible manifestations of non-perturbative mechanisms in the charmonium mass regime. In this short article we briefly review the experimental status of ψ(4230) and discuss possible theoretical interpretations. We will focus on four broadly investigated scenarios, i.e., tetraquark, hybrid, hadro-quarkonium,and hadronic molecule, and highlight the key issues based on these approaches. Crucial experimental observables,e.g., mass position, lineshapes, di-lepton decay width Γ_(ee), production rates in B meson decays, dominant hadronic decay patterns, and the potential 1^(-+)and 0^(--)exotic partners, are assessed, which can provide crucial structure information for understanding this mysterious state.展开更多

Primordial field theory incorporates gravity and electrodynamics and has derived fermion mass gap, half integral spin, and fractional charges. This paper extends PFT to hadron physics with a “solenoidal flux”-based explanation of quark confinement differing significantly from Lattice QCD “color flux”-based construction. The theory is presented qualitatively and used to predict hadronic and nuclear properties. Electrodynamic-based analogies help yield numerical results far more intuitively than corresponding QCD results. The origins of QCD and PFT are discussed. A more quantitative description of hadron dynamics is in progress.展开更多

The RLM accounts for special relativity and also for the De Broglie equation of quantum mechanics. In this way this force was shown to reach the value of the Strong Force while the values of the masses of the rotating relativistic neutrinos reach those of quarks. Masses computed for twelve hadrons and bosons are in very close (~2%) agreement with the experimental values. Here we use the same RLM approach to describe the composition and structure and to compute the masses of Pions and Kaons which are important zero spin mesons. Contrary to hadrons and bosons which have been found via the RLM to comprise the heaviest neutrino eigenmass m<sub>3</sub>, in the case of mesons the intermediate neutrino mass eigenstate m<sub>2</sub> is found to play the dominant role. This can explain why the lowest masses of mesons are generally smaller than those of hadrons and bosons. Thus in the case of Pions it is found that they comprise three rotating m<sub>2</sub> mass eigenstate neutrinos and the computed mass of 136.6 MeV/c<sup>2</sup> is in good agreement with the experimental value of 134.977 MeV/c<sup>2</sup>. The Kaon structure is found to consist of six m<sub>2</sub> mass eigenstate neutrinos arranged in two parallel pion-type rotating triads. The computed Kaon mass differs less that 2% from the experimental K<sup>±</sup> and K°values of 493.677 MeV/c<sup>2</sup> and 497.648 MeV/c<sup>2</sup> respectively. This, in conjunction with the experimentally observed decay products of the Kaons, provides strong support for the proposed K structure.展开更多

文摘The spectrum of hadronic molecules composed of heavy-antiheavy charmed hadrons has been obtained in our previous work.The potentials are constants at the leading order,which are estimated from resonance saturation.The experimental candidates of hadronic molecules,say X(3872),Y(4260),three P_(c)states and P_(cs)(4459),fit the spectrum well.The success in describing the pattern of heavy-antiheavy hadronic molecules stimulates us to give more predictions for the heavy-heavy cases,which are less discussed in literature than the heavy-antiheavy ones.Given that the heavy-antiheavy hadronic molecules,several of which have strong experimental evidence,emerge from the dominant constant interaction from resonance saturation,we find that the existence of many heavy-heavy hadronic molecules is natural.Among these predicted heavy-heavy states we highlight the DD;molecule and the D^(*)∑_(c)^(*)molecules,which are the partners of the famous X(3872)and Pc states.Quite recently,LHCb collaboration reported a doubly charmed tetraquark state,T_(cc),which is in line with our results for the DD^(*)molecule.With the first experimental signal of this new kind of exotic states,the upcoming update of the LHCb experiment as well as other experiments will provide more chances of observing the heavy-heavy hadronic molecules.

文摘We point out that the large pp^- coupling of X（1835） and the suppression of the three-body strange final states strongly indicate that X（1835） may be a pp^- baryonium. We also point out that the branching ratio of X（1835） →ηππ should be bigger than that of X（1835） →η′ππ. We suggest BES search X（1835） in the ηππ channel Finally, X（1835） may be used a tetraquark generator if X（1835） is really established as a baryonium state.
文摘The strange hadronic matter with nucleons, -hyperons and -hyperons is studied by using an effective nuclear model in a mean-field approximation. The density and strangeness fraction dependence of the effective baryon masses as well as the saturation properties and stabilities of the strange hadronic matter are discussed.

文摘The production of heavy-Havor quark c(c)and b(b)in pp collisions is described under perturbative quantum chromodynamics framework,the extrapolation from hadron-hadron up to nucleus-nucleus collisions is based on geometrical model by taking into account the nucleus shadowing effect.We simulate the heavy quark production,the decay to dilepton and effects of detection and analysis technique of the pairs,and predict the muon rate and the invariant mass spectrum of dimuons that could be detected in forward region in Pb-Pb collisions at large hadron collider energies.
