The observation of $Z_{cs}(3985)$ by BESIII in the $D_s^{*-}D^0$ and $D_s^{-}D^{*0}$ channel adds important dynamic information for a coherent understanding of both $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$, as well as their strange partners $Z_{cs}(3985)$ and $Z_{cs}(4120)$, on the basis of heavy quark spin symmetry. With an overall short-ranged contact potential in SU(3) flavor symmetry we show that the pole structures can be extracted from the experimental data. Meanwhile, we show the key role played by the $S$-wave open thresholds in $e^+e^-$ annihilations which are correlated with the production of these $Z$ states in a hadronic molecule picture. Implications of their scalar heavy quark spin partners $W_{c0,1,2}$ and $W_{cs0,1,2}$ are also gained.
It has been recently suggested that the charged charmoniumlike resonances $Z_c(4100)$ and $Z_c(4200)$ are two states of hadrocharmonium, related by the charm quark spin symmetry in the same way as the lowest charmonium states $η_c$ and $J/ψ$. It is pointed out here that in this picture one might expect existence of their somewhat heavier strange counterparts, $Z_{cs}$, decaying to $η_c K$ and $J/ψK$. Some expected properties of such charmoniumlike strange resonances are discussed that set benchmarks for their search in the decays of the strange $B_s$ mesons.
We propose the initial single chiral particle emission mechanism, with which the hidden-charm di-kaon decays of higher charmonia and charmonium-like states are studied. Calculating the distributions of differential decay width, we obtain the line shape of the $J/ψK^+$ invariant mass spectrum of $ψ_i\to J/ψK^+K^-$, where $ψ_i=ψ(4415), Y(4660)$, and $ψ(4790)$. Our numerical results show that there exist enhancement structures with both hidden-charm and open-strange decays, which are near the $D\bar{D}_s^*/D^*\bar{D}_s$ and $D^*\bar{D}_s^*/\bar{D}^*{D}_s^*$ thresholds. These charged charmonium-li…
The relativistic four-quark equations with the open-charm and the open-strange are found in the framework of coupled-channel formalism. The dynamical mixing of the meson-meson states with the four-quark states is considered. The four-quark amplitudes including the quarks of four flavors (u, d, s, c) are constructed. The poles of these amplitudes determine the masses of tetraquarks. The mass values of the tetraquarks with the spin-parity JP=1-,2- are calculated.
Decay properties of hidden-strangeness partners of X(3872) are studied in tetra-quark pictures. As the results, it is seen that their decay properties are strongly model dependent, and therefore, experimental studies of them will select a realistic model.
The recent measurements by CLEO Collaboration for the inclusive J/Psi and Psi(2S) production in Upsilon(1S) decay and our previous calculation are analyzed. The J/Psi momentum spectrum and the production ratio of Psi(2S) versus J/Psi favour Upsilon to J/Psi(Psi(2S)) + ccbar g as the dominant contribution. We point out that the differences between the experimental data and our previous results are mainly originated from the setting of the parameter charm quark mass. We further suggest the associate strange particle enhancement as a probe for the open charm particles in Upsilon to J/Psi (Psi(2S)…
This work uses the QCD Sum Rules to study the masses of the $D_s \bar{D}_s^*$ and $D_s^* \bar{D}_s^*$ molecular states with quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 1^{+-}$. Interpolating currents with definite C-parity are employed, and the contributions up to dimension eight in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) are taken into account. The results indicate that two hidden strange charmonium-like states may exist in the energy ranges of $3.83 \sim 4.13 $ GeV and $4.22 \sim 4.54 $ GeV, respectively. The hidden strange charmonium-like states predicted in this work may be accessible in future experiments, e.…
Inspired by the detection of $T_{cc}$ tetraquark state by LHCb Collaboration, we preform a systemical investigation of the low-lying doubly heavy charm tetraquark states with strangeness in the quark delocalization color screening model in the present work. Two kinds of configurations, the meson-meson configuration and diquark-antidiquark configuration, are considered in the calculation. Our estimations indicate that the coupled channel effects play important role in the multiquark system, and a bound state with $J^{P}=1^{+}$ and a resonance state with $J^{P}=0^{+}$ have been predicted. The ma…
We study the properties of $D$ and $\bar{D}$ mesons in hot isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter, arising due to their interactions with the hadrons in the hyperonic medium. The interactions of $D$ and $\bar{D}$ mesons with these light hadrons are derived by generalizing the chiral SU(3) model used for the study of hyperonic matter to SU(4). We also study the mass modifications of the charmonium states $J/ψ$, $ψ(3686)$ and $ψ(3770)$ in the isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter at finite temperatures and investigate the possibility of the decay of the charmonium states into $D\bar D$ …
Using the effective Lagrangian approach, we study the decay behavior of the newly observed $B(5970)$ meson, which is assigned as the $2^3S_1$ state in the $B$ meson family. What is more important is that we predict the information of the partial and total decay decay widths of $B(2^1S_0)$, $B_s(2^1S_0)$ and $B_s(2^3S_1)$ as the spin and strange partners of $B(5970)$, which is valuable to future experimental search for these missing states.
Inspired by the observed Y(2175) state, we predict its non-strange partner Y(1915), which has a resonance structure with mass around 1915 MeV and width about $317\sim 354$ MeV. Experimental search for Y(1915) is proposed by analyzing the $ωf_0(980)$ or $ωππ$ invariant mass spectrum of the $e^+e^-\to ωf_0(980), ωππ$ and $J/ψ\to ηωf_0(980)$ processes, which are accessible at Belle, BaBar, BESIII and forthcoming BelleII. Considering similarity between two families, the comparison of the mass spectra of $ω$ and $ϕ$ families can provide important information on the 1D state of $ϕ$ family, $ϕ(1910)$…
Using the results of the GRAAL collaboration on the ηphotoproduction from the neutron target, we attempt to extract the partial radiative width of the possible new nucleon resonance N^*(1675). The obtained estimates support this resonance to be a very attractive candidate for the non-strange member of the exotic antidecuplet of baryons -- a partner of the Θ^+ pentaquark. Our phenomenological value for the transition magnetic moment μ(n^* n), appears to be in good agreement with predictions of the Chiral Quark Soliton Model.
We propose a scenario in which Roper octet can mix with a putative antidecuplet of exotic baryons and predict the properties of its strange members. We show that 1795 MeV < M_Sigma_{\bar{10}} <1830 MeV and 1900 MeV < M_Xi_{\bar{10}}<1970 MeV. We also estimate total widths: 10 MeV < Gamma_Σ_{\bar{10}}< 30 MeV} and Gamma_Ξ_{\bar{10}}\sim 10 MeV and branching ratios for different decay modes.
In the framework of one-pion-exchange (OPE) model, we study the hidden-charm and charm-strange molecular pentaquark systems composed of a heavy baryon $(Σ_c, Σ_c^*)$ and a vector meson $(\bar{K}^*, \bar{D}^*)$, where the S-D mixing effect is considered in our calculation. Our result shows that the $Σ_c\bar{D}^*$ molecular state with $(I=1/2,J^P=3/2^-)$ and the $Σ_c^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state with $(I=1/2,J^P=5/2^-)$ exist in the mass range of the observed $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4450)$, respectively. Moreover, we predict two other hidden-charm molecular pentaquarks with configurations $Σ_c\bar{D…
New resonance $Λ_c(2860)^+$, reported by LHCb, is a key to establish \emph{D}-wave charmed and charmed-strange baryon families. In this work, we first carry out an analysis of mass spectra of the $λ$-mode excited charmed and charmed-strange baryon states, which may reveal the relation of $Λ_c(2860)^+$, $Λ_c(2880)^+$, $Ξ_c(3055)^+$ and $Ξ_c(3080)^+$, $i.e.$, $Λ_c(2860)^+$ and $Λ_c(2880)^+$ can form a \emph{D}-wave doublet $[3/2^+,5/2^+]$ while $Ξ_c(3055)^+$ and $Ξ_c(3080)^+$ are the strange partners of $Λ_c(2860)^+$ and $Λ_c(2880)^+$, respectively. Further study of their two-body Okubo-Zweig-Ii…
We investigate the masses of the pseudoscalar ($D$($D^0$, $D^+$), $\bar{D}$($\bar{D^0}$, $D^-$) and vector open charm mesons ($D^*$($D^{*0}$, $D^{*+}$), ${\bar{D}}^*$(${\bar{D}}^{*0}$, $D^{*-}$) as well as the pseudoscalar ($η_c(1S)$, $η_c(2S)$) and the vector charmonium states ($J/ψ$, $ψ(2S)$, $ψ(1D)$) in the asymmetric hot strange hadronic medium in the presence of strong magnetic fields. In the magnetized medium, the mass modification of open charm mesons due to their interactions with baryons and the scalar fields ($σ$, $ζ$, and $δ$) are investigated in a chiral effective model. Moreover, …
We have studied the loosely bound $D^*\bar{D}^*$ system. Our results indicate that the recently observed charged charmonium-like structure $Z_c(4025)$ can be an ideal $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state. We have also investigated its pionic, dipionic, and radiative decays. We stress that both the scalar isovector molecular partner $Z_{c0}$ and three isoscalar partners ${\tilde Z}_{c0,c1,c2}$ should also exist if $Z_c(4025)$ is a $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state {in the framework of the one-pion-exchange model}. $Z_{c0}$ can be searched for in the channel $e^+e^-\to Y \to Z_{c0}(4025)\left(ππ\right)_{…
The spectrum and dominant strong decay properties of the doubly heavy baryons are revisited by using a chiral effective model with chiral partner structure. By regarding the doubly heavy baryons in the ground states and light angular momentum $j_l = 1/2$ sector of the first orbitally excited states as chiral partners to each other, we estimate the mass splitting of the chiral partners which arises from the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry to be about $430$ MeV for baryons including an unflavored light quark and about $350$ MeV for that including a strange quark. We point out that, simil…
Strangeness, charmonium and open charm yields in relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions are considered within statistical model approach as potential signals of the quark-gluon plasma.
The existence of the $J^p=1/2^+$ narrow resonance predicted by the chiral soliton model has been investigated by utilizing the new kaon photoproduction data. For this purpose, we have constructed two phenomenological models, which are able to describe kaon photoproduction from threshold up to W=1730 MeV. By varying the resonance mass, width, and $KΛ$ branching ratio in this energy range we found that the most convincing mass of this resonance is 1650 MeV. Using this result we estimate the masses of other antidecuplet family members.
We analyze joint angular distributions of a charmonium decay to the $Ξ\barΞ$ pair using the $Ξ\toΛπ\to pπ^-π$ weak decay chain for the cascade and the charge conjugated mode for the anticascade. The decays allow a direct comparison of the baryon and antibaryon decay properties and a sensitive test of CP symmetry in the strange baryon sector. We show that all involved decay parameters can be determined separately in vector and (pseudo)scalar charmonia decays into $Ξ\barΞ$ due to the spin correlations between the weak decay chains. Contrary to the recently measured $e^+e^-\to J/ψ\to Λ\barΛ$ proc…
In this work, we investigate the possibility of interpreting two nucleon resonances, the $N(1875)$ and the $N(2100)$, as hadronic molecular states from the $Σ^*K$ and $ΣK^*$ interactions, respectively. With the help of effective Lagrangians in which coupling constants are determined by the SU(3) symmetry, the $Σ^*K$ and $ΣK^*$ interactions are described by the vector-meson and pseudoscalar-meson exchanges. With the one-boson-exchange potential obtained, bound states from the $Σ^*K$ and $ΣK^*$ interactions are searched for in a quasipotential Bethe-Saltpeter equation approach. A bound state wit…
We extend our previous study on the decay behavior of $P_c$ hadronic molecules to their strange and beauty partners. While $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4450)$ locate just below the $\bar DΣ_c^*$ and $\bar D^*Σ_c$ thresholds, respectively, their proposed strange partners $N(1875)$ and $N(2080)$ sit just below the $KΣ^*$ and $K^*Σ$ thresholds, respectively. Using the effective Lagrangian approach as the same as for the study of $P_c$ hadronic molecular states and with the couplings determined by the $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ flavor symmetry, the decay patterns of $N(1875)$ and $N(2080)$ are obtained assuming the…
The discovery of a new charged structure in the $K^+$ recoil-mass spectrum near the $D^-_s D^{*0}/D^{*-}_sD^0$ threshold, dubbed $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$, reinforce the idea that the structure of hadrons goes beyond the naive $qqq$ and the $q\bar q$ structures. The existence of this state, with quark content $c\bar c s\bar u$, can be expected from the well-established $Z_c(3900)^\pm$ and $Z_c(4020)$ states using SU(3) flavor symmetry. The $Z_c$ structures have been explained using the chiral constituent quark model in a coupled-channels calculation and, in this work, we undertake the study of the $Z_{…
Quantum Chromodynamics presents a series of exact and approximate symmetries which can be exploited to predict new hadrons from previously known ones. The $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$ resonances, which have been theorized to be isovector $D^* \bar{D}$ and $D^* \bar{D}^*$ molecules [$I^G(J^{PC}) = 1^-(1^{+-})$], are no exception. Here we argue that from SU(3)-flavor symmetry, we should expect the existence of strange partners of the $Z_c$'s with hadronic molecular configurations $D^* \bar{D}_s$-$D \bar{D}_s^*$ and $D^* \bar{D}^{*}_s$ (or, equivalently, quark content $c\bar{c} s \bar{q}$, with $q…
We take a new approach to determine the scale parameter $r_0$, the physical masses of strange and charm quarks through a global fit which incorporates continuum extrapolation, chiral extrapolation and quark mass interpolation to the lattice data. The charmonium and charm-strange meson spectrum are calculated with overlap valence quarks on $2+1$-flavor domain-wall fermion gauge configurations generated by the RBC and UKQCD Collaboration. We use the masses of $D_s$, $D_s^*$ and $J/ψ$ as inputs and obtain $m_c^{\overline{\rm MS}}(2\,{\rm GeV})=1.110(24)\,{\rm GeV}$, $m_s^{\overline{\rm MS}}(2\,{\…
The new LHCb beauty-strange state as the bottom partner of the $D_{s0}^*(2317)$: a LQCD constrained coupled-channel chiral analysis
Instituto de Física Corpuscular, Centro Mixto Universidad de Valencia-CSIC（瓦伦西亚大学-西班牙国家研究委员会联合物理粒子研究所）；Departamento de Física Teórica and IFIC, Centro Mixto Universidad de Valencia-CSIC（瓦伦西亚大学-西班牙国家研究委员会联合理论物理系及IFIC）
Recently BESIII collaboration discovered a charged strange hidden-charm state $Z_{cs}$(3985) in the $D_s^-D^{*0} + D_s^{*-}D^{0}$ spectrum. A higher $Z'_{cs}$ state coupling to $\bar{D}_s^{*-}D^{*0}$ is expected by SU(3)-flavor symmetry, and their bottom partners are anticipated by heavy quark flavor symmetry. Here we study the photoproduction of these exotic states and investigate carefully the background from Pomeron exchange. Our results indicate that the maximal photoproduction cross section of strange partner is around 1 $\sim$ 2 orders of magnitude smaller than that of the corresponding …
Nature of $K^*(1680)$ and $q\bar{q}$-hybrid mixing as the SU(3) partner of $η_{1}(1855)$ in the strange sector

In this paper, we analyzed the experimentally available radially excited charm mesons to predict the similar spectra for the n=2 bottom mesons. In the heavy quark effective theory, we explore the flavor independent parameters to calculate the masses for the experimentally unknown n=2 bottom mesons B(2S), B(2P), Bs(2S) and Bs(2P). We have also analyzed these bottom masses by applying the QCD and 1/mQ corrections to the lagrangian leading to the modification of flavor symmetry parameters as. Further strong decay widths are determined using these calculated masses to check the sensitivity of thes…
Stimulated by the new evidence of Y(4274) observed in the $J/ψϕ$ invariant mass spectrum, we first propose the charmonium-like state Y(4274) as the S-wave $D_s\bar{D}_{s0}(2317)+h.c.$ molecular state with $J^P=0^-$, which is supported well by dynamics study of the system composed of the pseudoscalar and scalar charmed mesons. The S-wave $D\bar{D}_{0}(2400)+h.c.$ molecular charmonium appears as the molecular partner of Y(4274), which is in accord with the enhancement structure appearing at 4.2 GeV in the $J/ψω$ invariant mass spectrum from B decays. Our study shows that the enhancement structur…
In this article, we study the pseudoscalar bound state $η_c'f_0(980)$ (irrespective of the hadro-charmonium and the molecular state) with the QCD sum rules. Considering the SU(3) symmetry of the light flavor quarks and the heavy quark symmetry, we also study the bound states $η_c'σ(400-1200)$, $η_b'''f_0(980)$ and $η_b'''σ(400-1200)$, and make reasonable predictions for their masses.
Chiral partners of strange doubly heavy baryons: Mass relations and decay predictions after the 2026 LHCb discoveries
Institute of Theoretical Physics and Mark Kac Center for Complex Systems Research, Jagiellonian University（雅盖隆大学理论物理研究所与马克·卡克复杂系统研究中心）；Center for Nuclear Theory, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Stony Brook University（石溪大学物理与天文学系核心理论中心）
Using the QCD sum rules we test if the charmonium-like structure Y(4274), observed in the $J/ψϕ$ invariant mass spectrum, can be described with a $D_s\bar{D}_{s0}(2317)+h.c.$ molecular current with $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension ten and we work at leading order in $α_s$. We keep terms which are linear in the strange quark mass $m_s$. The mass obtained for such state is $m_{D_s{D}_{s0}}=(4.80\pm 0.55)$ GeV. We also consider a molecular $0^{-+}$ $D\bar{D}_{0}(2400)+h.c.$ current and we obtain $m_{D{D}_0}=(4.61\pm 0.71)$ GeV. Our study shows that the…
Quarkonium-nucleus systems are composed of two interacting hadronic states without common valence quarks, which interact primarily through multi-gluon exchanges, realizing a color van der Waals force. We present lattice QCD calculations of the interactions of strange and charm quarkonia with light nuclei. Both the strangeonium-nucleus and charmonium-nucleus systems are found to be relatively deeply bound when the masses of the three light quarks are set equal to that of the physical strange quark. Extrapolation of these results to the physical light-quark masses suggests that the binding energ…
On the possibility of testing the two-peak structure of the LHCb hidden-charm strange pentaquark $P_{cs}(4459)^0$ in near-threshold antikaon-induced charmonium production on protons and nuclei
The charmoniumlike state $Y(4260)$ is described as predominantly a $D_1 \bar{D}$ molecule in a coupled-channel quark model [Phys.\,Rev.\,D\,\textbf{96},\,114022\,(2017)]. The heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS) thus implies the possible emergence of its heavy quark spin partners with molecular configuration as $D_1 \bar{D}^*$ and $D_2^* \bar{D}^*$ below these charmed mesons' thresholds. We analyze the probabilities of various intermediate charmed meson loops for $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ exotic state $Y(4360)$ and find that the channel $D_1 \bar{D}^*$ couples more strongly around its mass regime, and the c…
Rates for productions of neutral and doubly charged partners of D_{s0}^+(2317) in B meson decays are studied by using a hard D meson approximation in the infinite momentum frame, and the results are of the same order of magnitude as that of D_{s0}^+(2317). Because the bottom-strange X^{+-}(5568) which can be interpreted as iso-triplet bottom partners of D_{s0}^+(2317) have recently been discovered, observations of neutral and doubly charged partners of D_{s0}^+(2317) are strongly desired.
Inspired by the newly observed $D^{(*)}(3000)$, and $D_{sJ}(3040)$ states, in this work we study the production of $D^{(*)}(3000)$, $D_{sJ}(3040)$ and their partners through the semileptonic decays of $B_{(s)}$ mesons, where the light-front Quark model is applied to the whole calculation. Our numerical results indicate that the $B_{(s)}$ semileptonic decays into the $2P$ states of the charmed or charmed-strange meson family have considerable branching ratios, which shows that these semileptonic decays can be accessible at future experiments, especially LHCb and the forthcoming Belle II.
We calculate the decay widths of the charmonium states, $J/ψ$, $ψ(3686)$ and $ψ(3770)$, to $D\bar D$ pairs, as well as the decay width of $D^* \rightarrow Dπ$, in isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter, using a field theoretical model for composite hadrons with quark constituents. For this purpose we use the quark antiquark pair creation term of the free Dirac Hamiltonian written in terms of the constituent quark field operators, and use explicit charmonium, $D$, $\bar {D}$, $D^*$ and $π$ states to evaluate the matrix elements for the charmonium as well as $D^*$ decay amplitudes. The mediu…
We compute masses of $D$ meson, $D_s$ meson and charmonium states using $N_f=2+1+1$ Wilson twisted mass lattice QCD. All results are extrapolated to physical light quark masses, physical strange and charm quark masses and to the continuum. Our analysis includes states with spin $J = 0,1,2$, parity $\mathcal{P} = -,+$ and in case of charmonium also charge conjugation $\mathcal{C} = -,+$. Computations are based on a large set of quark-antiquark meson creation operators. We investigate and quantify all sources of systematic errors, including fitting range uncertainties, finite volume effects, iso…
We present spin-independent and spin-spin interquark potentials for charmonium states, that are calculated using a relativistic heavy quark action for charm quarks on the PACS-CS gauge configurations generated with the Iwasaki gauge action and 2+1 flavors of Wilson clover quark. The interquark potential with finite quark masses is defined through the equal-time Bethe-Salpeter amplitude. The light and strange quark masses are close to the physical point where the pion mass corresponds to $M_π\approx 156(7)$ MeV, and charm quark mass is tuned to reproduce the experimental values of $η_c$ and $J/…
The interaction potentials between vector mesons and octet baryons are calculated explicitly with a summation of t-, s-, u-channel diagrams and a contact term originating from the tensor interaction. Many resonances are generated dynamically in different channels of strangeness zero by solving the coupled-channel Lippman-Schwinger equations with the method of partial wave analysis, and their total angular momenta are determined. The spin partners N(1650)1/2^{-} and N(1700)3/2^-, N(1895)1/2^{-} and N(1875)3/2^-, and the state N(2120)3/2^- are all produced respectively in the isospin I=1/2 secto…
The hidden charm pentaquark state $P_c(4450)$ observed recently by the LHCb collaboration may be of molecular nature, as advocated by some unitary approaches that also predict pentaquark partners in the strangeness $S=-1$ sector. In this work we argue that a hidden-charm strange pentaquark could be seen from the decay of the $Λ_b$, just as in the case of the non-strange $P_c(4450)$, but looking into the $J/ψηΛ$ decay mode and forming the invariant mass spectrum of $J/ψΛ$ pairs. In the model presented here, which assumes a standard weak decay topology and incorporates the hadronization process …
Production of neutral and doubly charged partners, $\hat F_I^0$ and $\hat F_I^{++}$, of $ D_{s0}^+(2317)$ as a charm-strange four-quark meson is studied in relation to observations of $D_{s0}^+(2317)$. It is discussed that observation of $\hat F_I^{++}$ in inclusive $e^+e^-\to c\bar c$ is difficult but it might be observed in $B_u^+\to D_s^+π^+D^-$. Observations of $\hat F_I^0$ and $\hat F_0^+$ might be possible in hadronic B decays.
We argue that the lightest isospin 1/2 partners of the Z^+(1530) s(bar)uudd penta-quark predicted by Diakonov, Petrov and Polyakov are not the N(1710) mixed anti-decuplet states, but the pure non-strange u(bar)(ud)(ud) and d(bar)(ud)(ud) penta-quark states which may lie as low as 1200 MeV. The expected low width of a few MeV of such a putative state may explain why it was missed in phase shift analyzes of pion-nucleon scattering.
We review how quark models are able to describe the phenomenology of the charm meson sector. The spectroscopy and decays of charmonium and open charm mesons are described in a particular quark model and compared with the data and the results of other existing models in the literature. A quite reasonable global description of the heavy meson spectra is reached. A new assignment of the $ψ(4415)$ resonance as a 3D state leaving aside the 4S state to the X(4360) is tested through the analysis of the resonance structure in $e^{+}e^{-}$ exclusive reactions around the $ψ(4415)$ energy region. We make…
In this work, we extended our statistical model with charmed and bottomed hadrons, and fit the quark creational probabilities for the heavy quarks, using low energy inclusive charmonium and bottomonium data. With the finalized fit for all the relevant types of quarks (up, down, strange, charm, bottom) at the energy range from a few GeV up to a few tens of GeV's, the model is now considered complete. Some examples are also given for proton-proton, pion-proton, and proton-antiproton collisions with charmonium, bottomonium, and open charm hadrons in the final state.
We present high-precision results from lattice QCD for the mass splittings of the low-lying charmonium states. For the valence charm quark, the calculation uses Wilson-clover quarks in the Fermilab interpretation. The gauge-field ensembles are generated in the presence of up, down, and strange sea quarks, based on the improved staggered (asqtad) action, and gluon fields, based on the one-loop, tadpole-improved gauge action. We use five lattice spacings and two values of the light sea quark mass to extrapolate the results to the physical point. An enlarged set of interpolating operators is used…
Recently, for the first time, the BESIII Collaboration reported the strange hidden charm tetraquark states $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ in the $K^+$ recoil-mass spectrum near the $D_{s}^{-}D^{*0}/ D_{s}^{*-}D^{0}$ mass thresholds in the processes of $e^{+}e^{-}\to K^{+}(D_{s}^{-}D^{*0}+D_{s}^{*-}D^{0})$ at $\sqrt{s}=4.681$ GeV. The significance was estimated to be 5.3 $σ$. We show that the newly observed $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ state is the $U$-spin partner of $Z_c(3900)^{-}$ as a resonance within coupled-channel calculation in the $\text{SU(3)}_F$ symmetry and heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS). In the $\text{SU(…
