Study on $Z_{cs}$ and excited $B_s^0$ states in the chiral quark model

Abstract

Stimulated by the newly observed charged hidden-charm state $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ by BESIII Collaboration, $Z_{cs}(4000)^+$, $Z_{cs}(4220)^+$ and the excited $B_s^0$ states by LHCb Collaboration, a full calculation including masses and decay widths is emerged in the chiral quark model. For $Z_{cs}$ states, we assign quantum numbers $I(J^P)=\frac{1}{2}(1^+)$ and quark composition $c\bar{c}s\bar{u}$ according to the experiment. For $B_s^0$ states, systematically investigations are performed with $I(J^P)=0(0^+), 0(1^+), 0(2^+)$ both in 2-body $b\bar{s}$ and 4-body $b\bar{s}q\bar{q}~(q=u~\rm{or}~d)$ systems. Each tetraquark calculation takes all structures including meson-meson, diquark-antidiquark and all possible color configurations into account. Among the numerical techniques to solve the 2-body and 4-body Schr{\"o}dinger equation, the spatial wave functions are expanded in series of Gaussian basis functions for high precision, which is the way Gaussian expansion method so called. Our results indicate that the low-lying states of 4-quark system are all higher than the corresponding thresholds either for $c\bar{c}s\bar{u}$ or for $b\bar{s}q\bar{q}$ systems. With the help of the real scaling method, we found two resonance states with masses of 4023 MeV and 4042 MeV for $c\bar{c}s\bar{u}$ system. The state $c\bar{c}s\bar{u}(4042)$ has a consistent mass and decay width with the recent observed state $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$. For $b\bar{s}q\bar{q}$ system with $J=0$, some resonance states are also found. The newly observed excited $B_s^0$ states can be accommodated in the chiral quark model as $2S$ or $1D$ states, and the mixing with four-quark states are also needed to be considered.

Axionic Wormholes in Metric-Affine Gravity

The axion is a promising candidate for solving the strong CP problem. To solve this problem, the global U(1) symmetry must be preserved to a high degree of accuracy. However, it is well known that global symmetries are explicitly violated by quantum gravity effects, giving rise to what is referred to as the axion quality problem. In this paper, we investigate axionic wormholes as a source of explicit U(1) violation in Metric-Affine Gravity. This framework allows for spacetime torsion and non-metricity, which accommodate additional curvature-like and topological terms, such as the Holst and Nieh--Yan terms, that are absent from the metric and Palatini formalisms. We show that non-minimal couplings to these terms modify the wormhole dynamics and enhance the Euclidean wormhole action, thereby alleviating the axion quality problem. We also find that the viable parameter space is enlarged when two of these couplings are simultaneously present. We further identify representative parameter regions where the alleviation of the axion quality problem is compatible with inflationary constraints.

Qubit-Qutrit Quantum Tomography of hadronic $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{\ast 0}$ systems

Quantum-information observables have emerged in recent years as new tools in nuclear and particle physics, from entanglement in top-quark pairs to spin correlations in $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ production. Extending these studies to unequal-spin hadronic final states poses a fundamental challenge: the $6\times6$ density matrix of a qubit-qutrit system contains 35 independent spin parameters, but the decays of $\Lambda V$ pairs, with $V=\phi$ or $K^{*0}$, provide access to only 23 due to the hidden vector polarization from the strong decay. In this Letter, we formulate a qubit-qutrit quantum tomography (QQQT) technique for these spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}\otimes1$ systems and establish exact criteria for entanglement certification from the \textit{incomplete} density matrix. Compared with the $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$ system, QQQT of $\Lambda\phi$ and $\Lambda K^{*0}$ provides a new probe of nonperturbative QCD hadronization, enabling a direct comparison of the spin evolution of entangled quark pairs produced from the vacuum as they hadronize into a baryon or a vector meson.

Twist decomposition of exclusive heavy meson production cross sections

We study the twist decomposition of the total cross sections for exclusive heavy vector meson electroproduction and photoproduction in the $\gamma^\ast p$ processes, within the leading logarithmic $1/x$ BFKL formalism. The Mellin transforms of the impact factors of the vector meson are calculated. We show that the higher twist contributions are strongly suppressed in the low-$x$ kinematical regime. Possible enhancement of the higher twists effects for nuclei targets is discussed.
