Hyperfine Interactions in Charm and Bottom Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Hyperfine interactions in the light meson and baryon sectors are generalized to the charm and bottom systems. It is pointed out that an attempt to increase the value of the wave function at the origin to account for the unusual ratio of Λb to the B lifetimes could spoil the good agreement among the baryon and meson hyperfine mass–splitting. Including spin effects and taking phase space differences into account we predict that the decay rate of the Λb can be increased relative to that of the B meson by about 7%.

Heavy Quarks on the Lattice
I review the basic ideas behind lattice QCD calculations that involve charm and bottom quarks. I report on the progress in getting the correct hyperfine splitting in charmonium from lattice QCD. Some of the basic technology behind numerical lattice QCD calculations is explained by studying some specific examples: computation of the charm quark mass, and the calculation of fB .
متن کاملFirst Observation of a Family of Double-Charm Baryons
The existence of baryons with two and three charm quarks is expected from our present understanding of hadronic structure. In the doublecharm system one expects a J=1/2 ground state iso-doublet, termed Ξ cc in PDG notation [1]. Most predictions for the masses of the J=1/2 states and the J=3/2 hyperfine excitations expect the ground state near 3.6 GeV/c and a hyperfine split of 60 MeV/c [2]. The...
متن کاملMass spectrum of the scalar hidden charm and bottom tetraquark states
In this article, we study the mass spectrum of the scalar hidden charm and bottom tetraquark states with the QCD sum rules. The numerical results are compared with the corresponding ones from a relativistic quark model based on a quasipotential approach in QCD. The relevant values from the constituent diquark model based on the constituent diquark masses and the spin-spin interactions are also ...
متن کاملThe A Dependence of Open Charm and Bottom Production
We study inclusive heavy quark and exclusive heavy quark pair production in pp, pA and AA interactions. Intrinsic transverse momentum is introduced in pp interactions. Nuclear effects, limited to kT broadening and nuclear shadowing, are introduced in pA and AA interactions. The nuclear dependence is studied over a range of energies, both in fixed target and collider setups.
متن کاملCharm and bottom quark masses from QCD moment sum rules
In this work the charm and bottom quark masses are determined from QCD moment sum rules for the charmonium and upsilon systems. In our analysis we include both the results from non-relativistic QCD and perturbation theory at next-next-to-leading order. For the pole masses we obtain Mc = 1.75± 0.15 GeV and Mb = 4.98± 0.125 GeV. Using the potential-subtracted mass in intermediate steps of the cal...
