Geometrization of vacuum condensate effects in quarkonium potential model

Abstract

It is suggested the modification of traditional potential model, in which nontrivial structure of inside-hadron vacuum condensate is simulated by geometric properties of inside-hadron space. Confinement of quarks is ensured by closed effective (Riemannian) space. Interquark potential represents itself Coulomb's low in the effective space (Poisson equation). In the framework of such approach the quarks dynamics completely is defined only by metric of the effective space, which in turn in conformally-Euclidean case (we consider) is defined by sole phenomenological function. Also it is supposed, that inside-hadron vacuum is essential nonperturbative one both on large and on small distances and this is taken into account by special parameter in the metric of effective space. For final Schrödinger equation the exact analytical solutions for nonrelativistic energy spectrum and wave functions of quarkonium are obtained. From the basic principles of geometrized potential model and under the perturbation theory the spin-dependent relativistic corrections are calculated. Charmonium and bottomonium spectra are simulated. Suggested model gives a very good fit to experimental data: accuracy of spectra fitting makes $4.06\cdot 10^{-2}$ for charmonium and $3.28\cdot 10^{-2}$ for bottomonium and many predictions are made. On the basis of charmonium and bottomonium analysis conclusions about role of vacuum condensate in hadron structure are done.

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.
