The Belle Collaboration recently discovered the first manifestly exotic meson: Z^+(4430), which decays into psi' pi^+ and therefore has quark content c c-bar u d-bar. The proximity of its mass to the D_1 D-bar^* threshold has motivated the interpretation of the Z^+ as a charm meson molecule whose constituents are an S-wave superposition of D_1^+ D-bar^{*0}$ and D^{*+} D-bar_1^0$. If this interpretation is correct, the small ratio of the binding energy of the Z^+ to the width Gamma_1 of its constituent D_1 can be exploited to predict properties of its line shapes. Its full width at half maximum in the channel psi' pi^+ should be approximately sqrt{3} Gamma_1 = 35 MeV, which is consistent with the measured width of the Z^+. The Z^+ should also decay into D^* D-bar^* pi through decay of its constituent D_1. The peak in the line shape for D^* D-bar^* pi should be at a higher energy than the peak in the line shape for psi' pi^+ by about Gamma_1/sqrt{12} = 6 MeV. The line shape in D^* D-bar^* pi should also be broader and asymmetric, with a shoulder on the high energy side that can be attributed to a threshold enhancement in the production of D_1 D-bar^*.
Analysis of J/psi pi+ pi- and D0 D0-bar pi0 Decays of the X(3872)
我们分析了最近的数据从巴巴尔和贝尔合作的X(3872)共振在J/psi π + π-和D 0 D 0-酒吧π 0衰变通道,仔细考虑的S波阈值共振的普遍特征。因为这种共振的线形不是能量的可积函数,所以共振参数取决于用于定义它们的规定。在最近对D 0 D 0-bar通道的实验分析中,假设D*0 D 0-bar阈值附近的事件来自D*0 D 0-bar或D 0 D 0 *-bar,因此被分配了高于阈值的能量。考虑到这一影响,我们对D 0 D 0-bar pi 0数据的分析给出了X(3872)的质量,该质量低于D*0 D^0-bar阈值。我们在J/psi π + π-和D 0 D 0-bar π 0通道中的分析与X(3872)作为极弱束缚粲介子分子的鉴定是一致的。
Meson Emission Model of Psi to N Nbar m Charmonium Strong Decays
本文考虑了粲偶素Psi -> Nbarm型衰变的一种序贯“介子发射”机制,其中Psi为一般粲偶素态,N为核子,m为轻介子.这种衰变机制,一般来说可能不是主要的,假设在粲偶素湮灭过程中产生了一个NNbar对,轻介子m从出射核子或反核子线发射出来。该模型的简单概括可以包含中间N* 共振。我们导出了Psi = eta_c,J/psi,chi_c0,chi_c1}和psi'以及m = pi 0,f0和omega(以及隐含的任何0^{-+},0^{++}或1^{--}末态轻介子)情况下的Dalitz图事件密度。也许可以通过特征事件密度来分离这种衰变机制对全衰变振幅的贡献。对于衰变子集Psi -> p pbar pi 0,两个模型参数是已知的,因此我们能够预测Gamma(Psi -> p pbar pi 0)的绝对数值部分宽度。在J/psi -> p pbar pi 0的特定情况下,预测的部分宽度和M_{p pi0}事件分布非常接近实验。我们还考虑了在Psi -> ppbar f0中标量介子和胶球搜索的可能性。如果介子发射对Psi -> N Nbar m衰变的贡献可以被分离和量化,它们可以用来估计介子-核子强耦合{g_NNm},这通常是知之甚少的,并且是NN相互作用的介子交换模型中的关键输入。从J/psi-> p pbar pi 0确定g_NNpi和从J/psi -> p pbar omega…
