SpectroscopySpectroscopy reveals fundamental aspects of hadronic

physics– Essential degrees of freedom?– Gluonic excitations in mesons - exotic states of

matter?

• Status– Can extract excited hadron energies & identify spins, – Pursuing full QCD calculations with realistic quark

masses.

• New spectroscopy programs world-wide– E.g., BES III, GSI/Panda– Crucial complement to 12 GeV program at JLab.

• Excited nucleon spectroscopy (JLab)• JLab GlueX: search for gluonic excitations.

Relativistic operator construction: SU(12)

Relativistic construction: 3 Flavors with upper/lower components

Times space (derivatives)

Color contraction is Antisymmetric

Dirac

Symmetric: 182 positive parity + 182 negative parity

More operators than SU(6): mixes orbital ang. momentum & Dirac spin

Experimental comparisonPattern of states very similar

Where is the “Roper”? Thresholds & decays: need multi-particle ops

Page 11: Baryons (and Mesons)  on the Lattice

Towards resonance determinations

• Augment with multi-particle operators• Heavy masses: some elastic scattering

– Finite volume (scattering) techniques (Lüscher)– Phase shifts ! width

• Elastic & inelastic scattering:– Overlapping resonances– Will need/extend to finite-volume multi-channel– E.g., work by Bonn group– R. Young (next talk!)

Exotic matter

Suggests (many) exotics within range of JLab Hall D

Previous work: charmonium photo-production rates high

Current GPU work: (strong) decays - important experimental input

Exotics: first GPU results

Spectrum of finite volume field theory

There are states missing that we know should be there

The ‘continuum’ of meson-meson (or meson-baryon) scattering states !

Infinite volume, a continuous spectrum of ππ states

2mπ 2mπ

Finite volume, a discrete spectrum of states

e.g. a free particle

periodic boundary conditions

quantized momenta

Non-interacting two-particle states have known energies

Deviation from free energies depends upon the interaction and contains information about the scattering phase shift

ΔE(L) ↔ δ(E) : Lüscher method

Page 22: Baryons (and Mesons)  on the Lattice

Finite volume scattering Reverse engineer Use known phase shift ! anticipate spectrum

E.g. just a single elastic resonance e.g.

Lüscher method - essentially scattering in a periodic cubic box (length L)- finite volume energy levels E(δ,L)

Page 23: Baryons (and Mesons)  on the Lattice

Using the Lϋscher methodEnergylevelsL ~ 2.9 fm

e.g. L ~ 2.9 fm

Excited state spectrum at a single volume

Discrete points on the phase shift curve

Do more volumes, get more points

Page 24: Baryons (and Mesons)  on the Lattice

The interpretation

“non-interacting basis states”

Finite volume QCD energy eigenvalues

Non-interacting two-particle states have known energies

Level repulsion - just like quantum mechanical pert. theory

Page 26: Baryons (and Mesons)  on the Lattice

Multi-particle states

We don’t see the meson-meson (or meson-baryon) states in the spectrum

Should we ? where will they be (roughly) ?

Plot the non-interacting meson levels as a guide

e.g.

26

Need multi-particle operators for overlap

Annihilation diagrams. GPU-s to the rescue!

Where are the Form Factors??• Previous efforts

– Charmonium: excited state E&M transition FF-s (1004.4930)– Nucleon: 1st attempt: E&M Roper->N FF-s (0803.3020)

• Spectrum first!– Basically have to address “what is a resonance’’ up front– (Simplistic example): FF for a strongly decaying state:

linear combination of states

Summary• Strong effort in excited state spectroscopy

– New operator & correlator constructions ! high lying states

– Finite volume extraction of resonance parameters – promising

– Significant progress in last year, but still early stages• Initial results for excited state spectrum:

– Suggests baryon spectrum at least as dense as quark model

– Suggests multiple exotic mesons within range of Hall D

• Resonance determination:– Start at heavy masses: have some “elastic scattering”– Already have smaller masses: move there + larger volumes

(m¼~230MeV, L= 3 & 4fm)– Now: multi-particle operators & annihilation diagrams (gpu-s)– Starting physical limit gauge generation– Will need multi-channel finite-volume analysis for (in)elastic

scattering

Towards resonance determinations

• Augment with multi-particle operators– Needs “annihilation diagrams” – provided by

Distillation Ideally suited for (GPU-s)

• Resonance determination– Scattering in a finite box – discrete energy levels– Lüscher finite volume techniques– Phase shifts ! Width

• First results (partially from GPU-s)– Seems practical

Operators and contractions• New operator technique: Subduction

– Derivative-based continuum ops -> lattice irreps

– Operators at rest or in-flight, mesons & baryons

• Large basis of operators -> lots of contractions– E.g., nucleon Hg 49 ops up through 2 derivs– Order 10000 two-point correlators

• Feed all this to variational method

– Diagonalization: handles near degeneracies
