A New Method to Predict Meson Masses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Feynman–Hellmann theorem is used to show that vector meson energy eigenvalues are monotonically decreasing functions of the reduced masses of their constituent quarks. The experimental meson masses are used to put constraints on the values of quark masses and to predict the masses of some as yet undiscovered mesons. The mass of the B * c meson is predicted to be 6320 ± 10 MeV, and, with less precision, the masses of a number of excited vector mesons are also predicted.

Electromagnetic Contributions to Vector Meson Masses and Mixings
We use the 1/Nc method to estimate electromagnetic contributions to vector meson masses and mixings. We identify several new sources of ρ−ω mixing coming from short-distance effects. We comment on the extraction of quark masses from the vector meson masses. We also present a simple group theoretical discussion of the electromagnetic mass differences.
متن کاملHybrid exotic meson with J = 1−+ in AdS/QCD
We investigate the hybrid exotic meson with J = 1−+ within the framework of an AdS/QCD model. Introducing a holographic field dual to the operator for hybrid exotic meson, we obtain the eigen-value equation for its mass. Fixing all free parameters by QCD observables such as the ρ-meson mass, we predict the masses of the hybrid exotic meson. The results turn out to be 1476MeV for the ground stat...

Local duality for the ρ-meson width revisited. Abstract Local duality estimates for the ρ-meson leptonic width and the spectrum of radial excitations are updated. New perturbative corrections are included in the analysis that gives good agreement with experimental data on low energy resonances. The method of dispersion sum rules for spectral functions is a powerful tool for studying the low ene...
متن کاملShould Squarks Be Degenerate?
For generic squark masses, box diagrams with squarks and gluinos give unacceptably large contributions to neutral meson (K, B and D) mixing. The standard solution to this problem is to assume that squarks are degenerate to a very good approximation. We suggest an alternative mechanism to suppress squark contributions to flavor changing neutral currents: the alignment of quark with squark mass m...
متن کاملNew Glueball-Meson Mass Relations
Using the “glueball dominance” picture of the mixing between qq̄ mesons of different hidden flavors, we establish new glueball-meson mass relations which serve as a basis for glueball spectral systematics. For the tensor glueball mass 2.3 ± 0.1 GeV used as an input parameter, these relations predict the following glueball masses: M(0) ≃ 1.65 ± 0.05 GeV, M(1) ≃ 3.2 ± 0.2 GeV, M(2) ≃ 2.95 ± 0.15 G...
