Spin Effects in Heavy Quark Processes
نویسنده
چکیده
In the infinite mass limit for a heavy quark its spin decouples from the QCD dynamics, which leads to the heavy-quark spin symmetry. After a short discussion of spin symmetry some applications are considered. Contribution to the Crakow Epiphany Conference on Spin Effects in Particle Physics January 9–11, 1998, Crakow, Poland.

THE ROLE OF QUARK POLARIZATION IN HEAVY QUARK FRAGMENTATION
We calculate the exact fragmentation functions for c and b quark fragmentation taking into account the spin orientation of the initial heavy quark in the form of analytical and rather simple expressions. Our calculations show that spin orientation may have an important effect on the fragmentation spectrum. This effect is more striking in the cases of c ?D, D*; c? ? , ? , and ?B , B *.

Meson is composed of one quark and one antiquark moving under the effect of confinement, oscillating and color potentials. Since quarks are particles with spin , there is a spin-spin interaction potential. Also we have isospins for u and d quarks and we can consider related potentials on isospin-isospin and spin-isospin effects. By comparing the given meson spectrum with the amount calculated...

Studying the production or decay processes of heavy quarkonia (the bound state of heavy quark-antiquark) is a powerful tool to test our understanding of strong interaction dynamics and QCD theory. Fragmentation is the dominant production mechanism for heavy quarkonia with large transverse momentum. The fragmentation refers to the production process of a parton with high transverse momentum whic...
متن کاملLight Quark Spin-Flavor Symmetry for Baryons Containing a Heavy Quark in Large N QCD
The couplings and interactions of baryons containing a heavy quark are related by light quark spin-flavor symmetry in the large N limit. The single pion coupling constant which determines all heavy quark baryon-pion couplings is equal to the pion coupling constant for light quark baryons. Light quark symmetry relations amongst the baryon couplings are violated at order 1/N. Heavy quark spin-fla...
متن کاملSpectra of Baryons Containing Two Heavy Quarks
The spectra of baryons containing two heavy quarks test the form of the QQ potential through the spin-averaged masses and hyperfine splittings. The mass splittings in these spectra are calculated in a nonrelativistic potential model and the effects of varying the potential studied. The simple description in terms of light quark and pointlike diquark is not yet valid for realistic heavy quark ma...
