Introduction Recent years we have witnessed renaissance of field of heavy hadron spectroscopy which is propelled by emergences of many unexpected XYZ states Talks by Braaten, Miyabayashi, Prencipe, Yuan, Lü, Mehen, De Fazio, Faustov, Hanhart, Oset and Polosa Enormously enrich our understanding toward nonperturbativ
e sector of QCD
Steady progress also made in the conventional sector of spectroscopy ’c hc ’c etc. Talk by Seth

Why cares about QQQ states?
Recent interests in doubly heavy baryons Several tentative ccq candidates Hu’s talk To complete baryon family, the last missing member is triply heavy baryons (QQQ states) • Baryonic analogue of heavy quarkonium,
• Free from light quark contamination,
• Clean theoretical laboratory for understanding heavy quark bound state
5
Interests towards QQQ state initiated by Bjorken (85) Estimates masses of various lowest lying
QQQ states
Discusses discovery potential of the triply charmed baryon at fixed-target experiment
Suggest ccc + 3 + + 3 may serve as clean trigger for triply charmed baryons
6
Production rate of QQQ states Too low production rate of triply
charmed baryon at existing e+ e-
colliders Baranov and Slad (04)
Fragmentation functions of various QQQ states have also been computed
Gomshi-Nobary and Sepahvand (05)
7
Production rate of QQQ states at LHC
Fragmentation probabilities of c and b to various QQQ states range from 10-7 to 10-4 Gomshi-Nobary and Sepahvand (05)
For 300 fb-1 data (one year run at LHC design luminosity), with cuts pT>10 GeV and |y|<1, the amount of produced bcc and ccc can reach 6 108 to 1 108
It seems promising for future identification of these states at LHC with such a large amount of yield.
8
Static potential for QQQ states Can be obtained nonperturbatively by measuring Wilson loop from lattice
Color tube formed: Y-shape vs. -shape Takahashi, Matsufuru, Nemoto and Suganuma (PRL 01) Bali (Phys Rept 01)

Weakly-coupled QQQ states
The state satisfies m v QCD is called weakly coupled Brambilla, Pineda, Soto and Vairo (RMP 05) Brambilla, Rosch and Vairo (PRD 05)Potential, as the short-distance Wilson coefficient, can be determ
ined via matching from NRQCD, long distance piece of potential is unimportant
Integrating out soft and potential gluons, only keeping ultrasoft ones
Empirically, one may treat , Bc, even J/ as weakly coupled system talks by Pineda, Garcia Tormo and Vairo
10
Static potential of QQQ state Singlet-channel static potential (familiar Coulomb potential)
Lamb’s shift (color octet effect) Ultrasoft gluon (p ~m v2) induces color electric-dipole transition between singlet and octets configuration Inter-quark forces in octets and decuplet channels can be repulsive In this work we don’t consider the color-octet effect
11
Separating the Hamiltonian governing internal motion Our task is then solving Schrödinger equation
Define new variables
CM part
12
Solve Schrödinger equation The Hamiltonian governing internal motion
Where r12 = |r1-r2|, and mij is the reduced mass of mi and mj
3-body problem not exactly solvable. Must resort to approximation Variatonal method is a simple and economic way

14
Solve Schrödinger equation The Hamiltonian governing internal motion
where mred= m M/(m+M) Baryonic unit: mres2s/3=1 and mres (2s/3)2=1 This problem is very much like Helium, except the
force between two c quarks is attractive Classical example of application of variational method
15
Variational estimate for bcc The trial wave function assumes the form
where
is the 1s Coulomb wave function.
is a variational parameter: Effective color charge of b perceived by each c quarkContrary to helium, expecting >1 on physical ground
16
Variational estimate for bcc (cont’s)
The ground state energy is thus
where
measures average potential energy stored between two c quarks
The contribution of the 12 term vanishes as a consequence of spherical symmetry of 1s wave function.
Effect of kinetic energy of b is embodied entirely in reduced mass
17
Variational estimate for bcc (cont’)
Variational principle requires dE/d = 0
Indeed > 1 as is expected
18
Trial state for ccc ground state
symmetry constraint JP = 3/2+ The Hamiltonian governing internal motion
Again I adopt baryonic unit: mres2s/3=1 and mres (2s/3)2=1 with mres= m/2
Fermi statistics trial wave function is taken asfully symmetric
19
Variational estimate for ccc (cont’s)
The ground state energy is thus
where
20
Variational estimate for ccc (cont’)
I obtain
Variational principle dE/d = 0
21
Comparing bcc and ccc states Lessons we can learn
1. Symmetrization effects tend to lower the energy, also squeeze the orbital
2. bcc state is more stable than ccc state compatible with the well known fact that electron
in hydrogen atom is more stable than in positronium
22
The Hamiltonian for bbc system
It is more convenient to adopt a different coordinate
The Hamiltonian governing internal motion
where Mres= M/2, mres= (1/m+1/2M)-1
23
Sketch of bbc coordinate system
24
Diquark picture of ideal bbc state
This is more complicated than previous two cases, since the force felt by c is only axially symmetric, no longer spherically symmetric Picture greatly simplifies in the limit M m <r> <R>, one can shrink the bb diquark by a point antiquark. The compact diquark picture here is not as good as in doubly heavy baryon states. Savage and Wise (90) Brambilla, Rosch and Vairo (05); Fleming and Mehen (05)
25
Ground state energy in point-like diquark approximation In the limit <r> <R>, approximate r1 r2 r, the
Hamiltonian collapses into two independent parts One then gets
Cannot be accurate if the hierarchy between m and M is not perfect, like in the physical bbc state
Finite diquark radius effect should be implemented
26
Two alternative approaches incorporating finite diquark radius effect
1. Born-Oppenheimer (adiabatic) approximation Well motivated for diatomic molecule like H2+ ion ion.
Justified by strong separation of time scales between electronic and vibrational nuclear motion [ N/e~ (MN/me)1/2 ] However, it is completely unjustified for an ideal bbc state Both b and c have comparable velocity ( ~s), uncertainty principle tells typical time scale of b is much (~M/m) shorter than that of c. Exhibiting completely anti-adiabatic behavior Conceptually inappropriate to use adiabatic approx. to bbc state
27
Two alternative approaches incorporating finite diquark radius effect
2. One step variational estimateIntroduce two variational parameters and : effective charge of b “seen” by c : the impact of c on the bb diquark geometry There is no any other approximation involved, and it is conceptually appropriate to apply to bbc state. Good accuracy can be achieved as long as trial wave function is properly chosen.
28
bbc Baryons Symmetry between two b quarks JP = 3/2+ or 1/2+ The Hamiltonian governing internal motion
I adopt heavier baryonic unit: Mred =1 and 2s/3=1 Having defined = mred /Mred
Choosing the trial wave function as
29
Variational determination of energy of bbc baryons
I obtain
where
30
The limiting case as M m It is interesting to look at 0 limit
Two uncoupled polynomials of and
Using variational principles, one obtain optima =2 and =1
Recover the point-like diquark picture
31
Variational determination of energy of ground bbc state
The deviation between point-like diquark approx. and one-step variational approach increases as increases
32
Optimal values of and
The impact of b on c is more important than the impact of c on b
33
“Modified” diquark picture As gets large, the naive diquark picture deviates from
the true one severely. However, I find numerically the following “modified”
diquark approximation renders rather accurate results
Only as 0, 2 and 1, corresponding to naive diquark picture
34
Phenomenology Input of charm and bottom mass
Most natural to express the mb and mc from masses of and J/, by treating them as weakly coupled bound state
35
Mass of Lowest-lying bcc state
36
Mass of Lowest-lying ccc state
37
Mass of Lowest-lying bbc state
With the input
Using variational calculus, I obtain
38
Mass of Lowest-lying bbc state (cont’)
39
Various QCD mass inequalities
My results are compatible with these inequalities
Nussinov (PRL 83,84)Martin et al (PLB 86)Richard (PLB 84)
40
My numerical predictions Choose renormalization scale =1.2 GeV
(s=0.43) for bcc, bbb and bbc Choose renormalization scale =0.9 GeV
(s=0.59) for ccc
41
Indication of my results Bjorken’s results are systematically higher than mine. His prediction can be regarded as arising from strongly coupled picture Put another way, ground state QQQ baryons have lower masses if they are weakly coupled. Future experimental findings and accurate lattice measurements will unveil the nature of lowest-lying QQQ states
42
Summary and Outlook We have computed the lowest-order binding energy based on weakly-coupled assumption systematically lower than Bjorken’s predictions
One may improve the estimate by including NLO static potential/tree level higher-dimensional potential Other methods are welcome for democratic purpose Martynenko 0708.2033v2 Relativistic potential model + hyper-spherical expansion

Summary and Outlook (cont’)
Some non-potential method would also be valuable in providing complementary information F. K. Guo and Y. J. (work in progress) QCD sum rule (including <s G2>) Also aims to determine the wave function at the origin of QQQ states, which will be needed for more reliably estimating the fragmentation function
