Puzzles in quarkonium hadronic transitions with two pion emission
نویسنده
چکیده
The anomalously large rates of some hadronic transitions from quarkonium are studied using QCD multipole expansion (QCDME) in the framework of a constituent quark model which has been successful in describing hadronic phenomenology. The hybrid intermediate states needed in the QCDME method are calculated in a natural extension of our constituent quark model based on the Quark Confining String (QCS) scheme. Some of the anomalies are explained due to the presence of an hybrid state with a mass near the mass of the decaying resonance whereas other are justified by the presence of molecular components in the wave function. Some unexpected results are pointed out.

Bottomonium and Charmonium Results from Cleo
The study of hadronic transitions among heavy quarkonium states provides important tests for non-perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) 1. In the multipole expansion, 2 hadronic transitions among heavy quarkonium states proceed by emission and hadronization of soft gluons. The non-relativistic nature of the bottomonium system and the richness of the spectrum of bound states make it an excell...
متن کاملTwo-pion transitions in quarkonium revisited
Two-pion transitions in charmonium and bottomonium are considered with the leading relativistic effects taken into account. The contribution of the chromomagnetic interaction of the charmed quarks to the amplitude of the decay ψ(2S) → ππJ/ψ is estimated from the available data. This contribution is enhanced by a factor of three in the decay ηc(2S) → ππηc and should produce a noticeable modifica...
متن کاملLight quark mass dependence in heavy quarkonium physics.
The issue of chiral extrapolations in heavy quarkonium systems is discussed. We show that the light quark mass dependence of the properties of heavy quarkonia is not always suppressed. For quarkonia close to an open flavor threshold, even a nonanalytic chiral extrapolation is needed. Both these nontrivial facts are demonstrated to appear in the decay widths of the hindered M1 transitions betwee...
متن کاملHeavy Quarkonium ∗
I review heavy quarkonium physics in view of recent experimental results. In particular, I discuss new results on spin singlet states, photon and hadronic transitions, D−states and discovery of yet unexplained narrow X(3872) state. 1 Quarkonia Quarkonium is a bound state of a quark and its anti-quark. Some properties of light and heavy quarkonia are compared to properties of positronium in Tabl...
متن کاملBOSE-EINSTEIN CORRELATIONS IN PION PRODUCTION AT TRISTAN
Measurement of Bose-Einstein correlations in the production of like-signed pion pairs has been made with the AMY detector at TRISTAN. An event sample of 10120 hadronic events with ranging between 50 to 61 GeV was used. These measurements indicate a strength of the enhancement of ? = 0.61M.07, with a typical correlation size of Ro = 1.16±.08 fm. This value of ? is consistent with measurem...
