Su(3) Mass Splittings for ¯ Qq Mesons and Qqq Baryons
نویسنده
چکیده
By comparing SU(3)-breaking scales of linear mass formulae, it is shown that the lowest vector, axial-vector, and scalar mesons all have a q̄q configuration, while the ground-state octet and decuplet baryons are qqq. Also, the quark-level linear σ model is employed to predict similar q̄q and qqq states. Finally, the approximate mass degeneracy of the scalar a0(980) and f0(980) mesons is demonstrated to be accidental.

Spectra 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...

The quark model describes mesons and baryons in terms of constituent quarks. Mesons are qq̄ states and baryons are qqq, while all the other combinations of quarks, such as qqq̄q̄, qqqqq̄, are called exotic. The constituent quarks must be effective degrees of freedom which are valid only in low energy regime. They must have the same conserved charges as the QCD quarks: baryon number 1/3, spin 1/2, c...
متن کاملHeavy-light Mesons and Baryons with b quarks
We present lattice results for the spectrum of mesons containing one heavy quark and of baryons containing one or two heavy quarks. The calculation is done in the quenched approximation using the NRQCD formalism for the heavy quark. We analyze the dependence of the mass splittings on both the heavy and the light quark masses. Meson P -state fine structure and baryon hyperfine splittings are res...
متن کاملHeavy-heavy-light quark potential in SU(3) lattice QCD
We perform the first study for the heavy-heavy-light quark (QQq) potential in SU(3) quenched lattice QCD with the Coulomb gauge. The calculations are done with the standard gauge and O(a)-improved Wilson fermion action on the 16 lattice at β = 6.0. We calculate the energy of QQq systems as the function of the distance R between the two heavy quarks, and find that the QQq potential is well descr...
متن کاملHeavy Baryons from Lattice NRQCD
Extraction of correct mass splittings between vector and pseudoscalar mesons remains a challenging problem in lattice QCD. While quenched lattice QCD has been unable to extract correct mass splittings [1], so far this problem persists even with full lattice QCD [2]. One may thus ask whether lattice results for baryon mass splittings exhibit similar suppression compared to experimental numbers. ...
