Non-standard mesons in BES III?

Stephen L. Olsen, Univ of Hawai’iBES annual mtg Shi-dou, May 30-June 2, 2005

non-standard hadronsnon-qqq baryons or non-qq mesons:

Pentaquarks:e.g. an S=+1 baryon

Glueballs:gluon-gluon color singlet states

Multi-quark mesons:

qq-gluon hybrid mesons

mesons with “hidden charm” are a good place to look

• standard cc mesons are:– best understood theoretically– decay properties well known– narrow & non overlapping

• concentrate on charmonium-like particles that don’t match expected properties

X(3872) = D0D*0 bound state?

• JPC = 1++ (favored by DD* models)

• M ≈ mD0 + mD0*

• Maximal isospin violation is natural (& was predicted): |I=1; Iz= 0> =1/2(|D+D*->+ |D0D*0>) |I=0; Iz= 0> =1/2(|D+D*-> - |D0D*0>)

|D0D*0> = 1/2(|10> - |00>)

• (XJ/) < (XJ/)

•cc content is small

•matches all(?) expectations for a D0D*0 bound state

cc gluon candidate from Belle: Y(3940)

Y(3940): What is it?

• Charmonium?– Conventional wisdom: J/ should not be

a discovery mode for a cc state with mass above DD & DD* threshold!

• Some kind of -J/ threshold interaction?– the J/is not surrounded by brown

muck; can it act like an ordinary hadron?

Y(3940): What is it (cont’d)?

• another 4-quark state?– M ≈ 2mDs

– not seen in YJ/• ( contains ss)

– width too large??– no exchange for DSDS

Y(3940): What is it (cont’d) ?

• cc-gluon hybrid?– predicted by QCD,– decays to DD and DD* are suppressed (“open-charm” thresh = mD + m D** = 4.3 GeV)

– large hadron+J/ widths are predicted– masses expected to be 4.3 ~ 4.4 GeV

(higher than what we see)

Search strategies for BESIII

• DD(*) molecular states– (4.03)() + Ũ

•Study DD & DD* masses @ (4.03) (& (4.16)??)

• light cc gluon hybrids– (4.03) + ccg hybrid

•Study J/ (c, c) + light hadons () @ (4030), (4160) (& (4415)??)

Rate estimates (DD(*) molecules)(1yr = 6fb-1)

• L.-J. Pan’s thesis:~16% of (4.03)DD

yield is via:(4.03) Ũ(3860) DD

If DD recon effic ~0.1% Expect: 103

Rate estimates (cc-gluon hybrids)

• (4.03) + (cc gluon hybrid)– assume:((4.03)J/)~((3.77)J/

Can search in many other channels:(4.03)() + J/ ( J/, c, …)

Summary

BESIII runs at 4.03 (& 4.16 GeV + higher?)

may be very interesting.
