Role of Large Gluonic Excitation Energy for Narrow Width of Penta-Quark Baryons in QCD String Theory
We study the narrow decay width of low-lying penta-quark baryons in the QCD string theory in terms of gluonic excitations. In the QCD string theory, the penta-quark baryon decays via a gluonic-excited state of a baryon and meson system, where a pair of Y-shaped junction and anti-junction is created. Since lattice QCD shows that the lowest gluonicexcitation energy takes a large value of about 1 ...
متن کاملGluon excitations of the static quark potential and the hybrid quarkonium spectrum
A comprehensive determination of the rich, low-lying spectrum of gluonic excitations in the presence of a static quark-antiquark pair is presented. Our results are obtained from several simulations on anisotropic lattices using an improved action and a large set of gluonic operators. The hybrid quarkonium states are studied in the quenched approximation using the Born-Oppenheimer expansion and ...
متن کاملGluonic excitation of non-exotic hybrid charmonium from lattice QCD
The ground and first excited states of the hybrid charmonium c̄cg, with non-exotic quantum numbers J = 0, 1−− and 1 are investigated using quenched lattice QCD. They are completely ignored in the literature, only because their ground states are degenerate with ηc, J/ψ, and χc1, and are difficult to be distinguished from these conventional charmonium mesons in experiment. However, we observe stro...

The hybrid quarkonium states are studied using the Born-Oppenheimer expansion. The first step in this expansion is the determination of the energy levels of the gluons in the presence of a static quark-antiquark pair as a function of the quark-antiquark separation. The spectrum of such gluonic excitations is determined from first principles using lattice QCD.
متن کاملThe entropy of the QCD plasma
Self-consistent approximations in terms of fully dressed propagators provide a simple expression for the entropy of an ultrarelativistic plasma, which isolates the contribution of the elementary excitations as a leading contribution. Further approximations, whose validity is checked on a soluble model involving a scalar field, allow us to calculate the entropy of the QCD plasma. We obtain an ac...
