Jan. 22, 2015 Exclusive Meson Production Workshop String Fragmentation in the Exclusive Limit Mac Mestayer 1 Does the quark model work for exclusive production? - compared to an hadronic current approach. • What are ‘constituent quarks’? • What is the ‘flux-tube’? • How do pairs ‘break’ or ‘neutralize’ the color force-fiel - What is the angular momentum structure? - What is the flavor dependence?

Jan. 22, 2015Exclusive Meson Production Workshop27 The authors
use a simple non-relativistic quark model to deduce that the s-sbar
pair are created with spins anti-aligned, in disagreement with the
standard 3P_0 operator used in most calculations. Although the
model is very simple, and the authors are careful to point out that
it could be in error, I believe that their results must have
significant implications for quark pair production, and should
provide guidance for theory. Though important, this result on its
own would likely be insufficient to merit publication in Physical
Review Letters, as theoretical study of the new data is needed to
reach specific conclusions. However the authors have done an
excellent job of highlighting a second, more qualitative result of
their spin-transfer data. They have observed that the longitudinal
polarization .This conclusion is made in the context of the
flux-tube model of the reaction and is somewhat dependent on the
details of the Lambda spin structure, but provides a persuasive
explanation of the simple structure of the polarization data. I
believe it is of sufficient general interest to merit publication
in PRL. Quark model physics conclusion
