Reconciling the Light Scalar Mesons with Breit-Wigner Resonances as well as the Quark Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Resonances appearing in hadronic scattering processes are described by a two-phase model. In the one phase, scattering products are observed, whereas the other phase describes confinement. A so-called “Resonance-Spectrum Expansion” is derived, containing expressions that resemble Breit-Wigner formulae. This method also provides a straightforward explanation for the origin of the light scalar mesons without requiring extra degrees of freedom.

Modified Breit-Wigner formula for mesonic resonances describing OZI decays of confined qq̄ states and the light scalar mesons
A general expression resembling Breit-Wigner formulae is derived for the description of resonances which appear in meson-meson scattering. Starting point is a unitarised meson model, but reduced to a simpler form and freed from the specific assumption about the confining force. The parameters of the resulting “Resonance-Spectrum Expansion” are directly related to the confinement spectrum and th...
متن کاملIsobar Rescattering Model and Light Scalar Mesons
A nice feature of recent results from BABAR, BELLE, CESAR and FERMILAB is the historically unprecedented number of points in the Dalitz diagrams obtained for decays like D → ππK̄0. It is not only favorable for learning more about CP violation and associated problems in the weak interactions but for learning about properties of resonances in the strong interactions. This involves a resonance domi...
متن کاملScalar mesons and Adler zeros
A simple unitarized quark-meson model, recently applied with success to light and charmed scalar mesons, is shown to encompass Adler-type zeros in the amplitude, due to the use of relativistic kinematics in the scattering sector. These zeros turn out to be crucial for the description of the K∗ 0 (800) resonance, as well as the new charmed scalar mesons D∗ s0(2317) and D ∗ 0(2300). The light sca...
متن کاملMeson Resonances at large NC : Complex Poles vs Breit-Wigner Masses
The rigorous quantum mechanical definition of a resonance requires determining the pole position in the second Riemann sheet of the analytically continued partial wave scattering amplitude in the complex Mandelstam s variable plane. For meson resonances we investigate the alternative Breit-Wigner (BW) definition within the large NC expansion. By assuming that the pole position is O(N C) and exp...
متن کاملThe Multichannel Quark Model
We discuss the non–relativistic multichannel quark model and describe the techniques developed to solve the resulting equations. We then investigate some simple solutions to demonstrate how the model unifies meson–meson scattering with meson spectroscopy, thereby greatly extending the domain of applicability of the näıve quark model. In the limits of narrow resonance widths and no quark exchang...
