Tensor Mesons in AdS/QCD
نویسندگان
چکیده
We explore tensor mesons in AdS/QCD focusing on f2(1270), the lightest spin-two resonance in QCD. We find that the f2 mass and the partial width Γ(f2 → γγ) are in very good agreement with data. In fact, the dimensionless ratio of these two quantities comes out within the current experimental bound. The result for this ratio depends only on Nc and Nf , and the quark and glueball content of the operator responsible for the f2; more importantly, it does not depend on chiral symmetry breaking and so is both independent of much of the arbitrariness of AdS/QCD and completely out of reach of chiral perturbation theory. For comparison, we also explore f2 → ππ, which because of its sensitivity to the UV corrections has much more uncertainty. We also calculate the masses of the higher spin resonances on the Regge trajectory of the f2, and find they compare favorably with experiment. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Soft-wall model of AdS/QCD: The case of light scalar mesons
We study light scalar mesons in the AdS/QCD soft-wall model with a background dilaton field, to investigate the features of this approach in describing QCD properties in the strong coupling regime. We find that the masses and decay constants are compatible with experiment and QCD determinations if a0(980) and f0(980) are identified as the lightest scalar mesons; moreover, the states are organiz...
متن کاملLinear Confinement and AdS/QCD
In a theory with linear confinement, such as QCD, the masses squared, mn,S, of mesons with high spin S or high radial excitation number n are expected, from semiclassical arguments, to grow linearly with S and n. We show that this translates into a strong constraint on the infrared behavior of a putative 5-dimensional theory holographically dual to QCD (AdS/QCD). In the simplest model which obe...
متن کاملShock waves from heavy-quark mesons in AdS/CFT
We calculate the far-field stress-energy tensor of a quark gluon plasma due to a heavyquark meson moving through it, using a semi-classical description in string theory of the meson as a string hanging into anti-de Sitter space. We find that these mesons create a shock wave but no diffusion wake, in contrast to single heavy quarks described via a trailing string, where the diffusion wake is str...
متن کاملAdS/QCD and Type 0 String Theory
We study gauge/string duality with flavor degrees of freedom in type 0B string theory. We construct a model by placing the Nf probe D9−/anti-D9− brane pairs in the background of the Nc electric D3branes. This model has some features in common with QCD, as in AdS/QCD model. By analyzing the effective action, we obtain the linear confinement behavior for the masses of the highly excited spin1 mes...
متن کاملQCD vacuum tensor susceptibility and properties of transversely polarized mesons
We re-estimate the tensor susceptibility of QCD vacuum, χ, and to this end, we re-estimate the leptonic decay constants for transversely polarized ρ, ρand b1-mesons. The origin of the susceptibility is analyzed using duality between ρand b1channels in a 2-point correlator of tensor currents. We confirm the results of [1] for the 2-point correlator of tensor currents and disagree with [2] on bot...
