Fully and Doubly-heavy four-quarks within QCD Laplace sum rule

Abstract

We present a review of our results for the masses and couplings of the scalar fully heavy four-quarks and $T_{QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}'}\, (J^P=0^\pm , 1^\pm)$ tetraquarks states from QCD Laplace sum rule (LSR), their ratios ${\cal R}$ and double ratio of sum rules (DRSR) within stability criteria and including Factorized Next-to-Leading Order (FNLO) Perturbative (PT) corrections. As the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) usually converges for $d\leqslant 6-8$, we evaluated the QCD spectral functions at Lowest Order of PT QCD and up to $\langle G^3 \rangle$. Our results for the $0^{++}$ fully heavy four-quark states may explain the LHCb broad structure around (6.2-6.7)GeV which can be due to $\overline{\eta_c} \eta_c,~~ \overline{\chi_{c1}}\chi_{c1}$ and $\overline{J/\psi}J/\psi$ molecules or/and their analogue $S_c S_c,~~ A_cA_c$ and $V_cV_c$ tetraquarks. The peak at (6.8-6.9)GeV can be identified to the $\overline{\chi_{c0}}\chi_{c0}$ molecule or/and the $P_c P_c$ tetraquark state. Then, combining ${\cal R}$ and DRSR we focus on the analysis of the four-quark nature of $T_{cc\bar{q}\bar{q}'}$ $1^{\pm}$ and $0^{\pm}$ states. We show that combining ${\cal R}$ and DRSR can provide more precise results: $M_{T^{1^+}_{cc}}=3886(6)$MeV and $M_{T^{0^+}_{cc}}=3883(3)$MeV. From our estimates of the masses of the Pseudoscalar and Vector $T_{cc\bar{q}\bar{q}'}$ states, we observe that the interpolating currents lead to two classes: Class H (Heavy) states with masses around 6GeV and Class L (Light) states around (3.8-4.4)GeV where the pseudoscalar (resp. all vector states) are below the $\overline{D}D_0,~~ overline{D}_s D_{s0}$ (resp. $\overline{D}D_1,~~ \overline{D}_s D_{s1}$) open charm thresholds. Finally, we extend the whole study to the bottom sector and confront our results with the ones from different LSR predictions and some other approaches in the literature.

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.
