Tetraquark mesons in large-N quantum chromodynamics.

نویسنده

چکیده

It is argued that exotic mesons consisting of two quarks and two antiquarks are not ruled out in quantum chromodynamics with a large number N of colors, as generally thought. Tetraquarks of one class are typically long-lived, with decay rates proportional to 1/N.

Highlights in the search for nonconventional (non qq̄) meson states are the π1(1400) and π1(1600) exotic candidates. Should they exist, mounting theoretical arguments suggest that they are tetraquark molecular resonances excitable by meson rescattering. We report a new tetraquark calculation within a model field theory approximation to Quantum Chromodynamics in the Coulomb gauge supporting this ...

Quantum Chromodynamics: the Gluon Propagator Corresponding to Linear Confinement

The exact nonperturbative confining solutions of the SU(3)-Yang-Mills equations recently obtained by author in Minkowski spacetime with the help of the black hole theory techniques are analysed and on the basis of them the gluon propagator corresponding to linear confinement at large distances (small momenta) is constructed in a nonperturbative way. At small distances (large momenta) the result...

Mixing of scalar tetraquark and quarkonia states in a chiral approach

A chiral invariant Lagrangian describing the tetraquark-quarkonia interaction is considered at the leading and subleading order in the large-Nc expansion. Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking generates mixing of scalar tetraquark and quarkonia states and non-vanishing tetraquark condensates. In particular, the mixing strength is related to the decay strengths of tetraquark states into pseudosca...

Glueballs, Hybrids, Multiquarks. Experimental facts versus QCD inspired concepts.

Glueballs, hybrids and multiquark states are predicted as bound states in models guided by quantum chromodynamics, by QCD sum rules or QCD on a lattice. Estimates for the (scalar) glueball ground state are in the mass range from 1000 to 1800MeV, followed by a tensor and a pseudoscalar glueball at higher mass. Experiments have reported evidence for an abundance of meson resonances with 0−+, 0 an...

Search for tetraquark candidate Zð4430Þ in meson photoproduction

Frank E. Close Rudolf Peierls Centre for Theoretical Physics, University of Oxford, Keble Road, Oxford, OX1 3NP, United Kingdom (Received 27 February 2008; published 8 May 2008) We propose a search for the newly discovered tetraquark candidate Zð4430Þ in photoproduction. Based on the Belle results, we show that if Zð4430Þ is a genuine resonance, its significantly large coupling to 0 will cause ...
