Recently, LHCb collaboration has confirmed the state $X(4140)$, with a much larger width $Γ= 83\pm 21^{+21}_{-14}$ MeV than the previous experimental measurements, which has confused the understanding of its nature. We have investigated the possibility of the $χ_{c1}(3P)$ interpretation for the $X(4140)$, considering the mass and the strong decay properties.
Taking into account that the scalar $a_0(980)$ can be dynamically generated from the pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar interaction within the chiral unitary approach, we have studied the single Cabibbo-suppressed process $D^+\to π^+π^0η$. We find clear peaks of $a_0(980)^+$ and $a_0(980)^0$ in the $π^+η$ and $π^0η$ invariant mass distributions, respectively. The predicted Dalitz plots of $D^+\to π^+π^0η$ also manifest the significant signals for $a_0(980)^+$ and $a_0(980)^0$ states. The uncertainties of the results due to the free parameters are also discussed. Our study shows that the process $D^+\to π^+π^0η$ can be used to explore the nature of the scalar $a_0(980)$, thus we encourage the experimental physicists to measure this reaction with more precision.
In the chiral unitary approach, we have studied the single Cabibbo-suppressed decays $Λ_c\to pK^+K^-$ and $Λ_c \to p π^+π^-$ by taking into account the $s$-wave meson-meson interaction as well as the contributions from the intermediate vectors $ϕ$ and $ρ^0$. Our theoretical results for the ratios of the branching fractions of $Λ_c\to p \bar{K}^{*0}$ and $Λ_c\to p ω$ with respect to the one of $Λ_c\to p ϕ$ are in agreement with the experimental data. Within the picture that the scalar resonances $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, and $a_0(980)$ are dynamically generated from the pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar interactions in $s$-wave, we have calculated the $K^+K^-$ and $π^+π^-$ invariant mass distributions respectively for the decays $Λ_c\to pK^+K^-$ and $Λ_c\to pπ^+π^-$. One can find a broad bump structure for the $f_0(500)$ and a narrow peak for the $f_0(980)$ in the $π^+π^-$ invariant mass distribution of the decay $Λ_c\to pπ^+π^-$. For the $K^+K^-$ invariant mass distribution, in addition to the narrow peak for the $ϕ$ meson, there is an enhancement structure near the $K^+K^-$ threshold mainly due to the contribution from the $f_0(980)$. Both the $π^+π^-$ and $K^+K^-$ invariant mass distributions are compatible with the BESIII measurement. We encourage our experimental colleagues to measure these two decays, which would be helpful to understand the nature of the $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$, and $a_0(980)$.
We have analyzed the reaction $χ_{c0}\to \bar{p} K^+Λ$ reported by the BESIII Collaboration, taking into account the contributions from the intermediate $K(1830)$, $N(2300)$, and $Λ(1520)$ resonances. Our results are in good agreement with the BESIII measurements, and it is found that the anomalous enhancement near the $\bar{p}Λ$ threshold is mainly due to the contribution of the $K(1830)$ resonance. We also show that the interference of the high-mass $N^*$ and $Λ^*$ can not produce the anomalous enhancement near the $\bar{p}Λ$ threshold.
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration has confirmed the state $X(4140)$, with a mass $M=4146.5\pm 4.5^{+4.6}_{-2.8}$~MeV, and a much larger width $Γ=83\pm21^{+21}_{-14}$~MeV than the previous experimental measurements, which has confused the understanding of its nature. We will investigate the possibility of the $χ_{c1}(3P)$ interpretation for the $X(4140)$, considering the mass spectra predicted in the quark model, and the strong decay properties within the $^3P_0$ model. We also predict the strong decay properties of the charmonium states $χ_{c0}(3P)$ and $χ_{c2}(3P)$. Our results show that the $X(4140)$ state with the small width given in PDG can be explained as the charmonium state $χ_{c1}(3P)$ in the $^3P_0$ model, and high precision measurement of the width of the $X(4140)$ is crucial to understand its nature.
We report on a theoretical study of the newly observed $Ω(2012)$ resonance in the nonleptonic weak decays of $Ω_c^0 \to π^+ \bar{K}Ξ^*(1530) (ηΩ) \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξ)^-$ and $π^+ (\bar{K}Ξπ)^-$ via final-state interactions of the $\bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$ pairs. The weak interaction part is assumed to be dominated by the charm quark decay process: $c(ss) \to (s + u + \bar{d})(ss)$, while the hadronization part takes place between the $sss$ cluster from the weak decay and a quark-antiquark pair with the quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ of the vacuum, produces a pair of $\bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$. Accordingly, the final $\bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$ states are in pure isospin $I= 0$ combinations, and the $Ω_c^0 \to π^+ \bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)(ηΩ) \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξ)^-$ decay is an ideal process to study the $Ω(2012)$ resonance. With the final-state interaction described in the chiral unitary approach, up to an arbitrary normalization, the invariant mass distributions of the final state are calculated, assuming that the $Ω(2012)$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^-$ is a dynamically generated state from the coupled channels interactions of the $\bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$ in $s$-wave and $\bar{K}Ξ$ in $d$-wave. We also calculate the ratio, $R^{\bar{K}Ξπ}_{\bar{K}Ξ} = {\rm Br}[Ω_c^0 \to π^+ Ω(2012)^- \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξπ)^-] / {\rm Br}[Ω_c^0 \to π^+ Ω(2012)^- \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξ)^-$]. The proposed mechanism can provide valuable information on the nature of the $Ω(2012)$ and can in principle be tested by future experiments.
Recently, the Belle collaboration measured the ratios of the branching fractions of the newly observed $Ω(2012)$ excited state. They did not observe significant signals for the $Ω(2012) \to \bar{K} Ξ^*(1530) \to \bar{K} πΞ$ decay, and reported an upper limit for the ratio of the three body decay to the two body decay mode of $Ω(2012) \to \bar{K} Ξ$. In this work, we revisit the newly observed $Ω(2012)$ from the molecular perspective where this resonance appears to be a dynamically generated state with spin-parity $3/2^-$ from the coupled channels interactions of the $\bar{K} Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$ in $s$-wave and $\bar{K} Ξ$ in $d$-wave. With the model parameters for the $d$-wave interaction, we show that the ratio of these decay fractions reported recently by the Belle collaboration can be easily accommodated.
Based on the prediction of a $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state $Z_c(4000)$ with isospin $I=1$ in the coupled channel approach, we suggest to search for this state in the reaction $B^- \to J/ψρ^0 K^-$. By taking into account the final state interactions of $J/ψρ$ and $D^{*0}\bar{D}^{*0}$, and the contribution from the $K_1(1270)$ resonance, we find that the $J/ψρ$ mass distribution shows a peak around 4000~MeV, which could be associated to the $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state $Z_c(4000)$. Searching for the $Z_c(4000)$ in the reaction $B^- \to J/ψρ^0 K^-$ is crucial to understand the internal structures of the exotic hadrons, and our predictions can be tested by the Belle II and LHCb in future.
Optical control of structural and electronic properties of Weyl semimetals allows development of switchable and dissipationless topological devices at the ultrafast scale. An unexpected orbitial-selective photoexcitation in type-II Weyl material WTe2 is reported under linearly polarized light (LPL), inducing striking transitions among several topologically-distinct phases. The symmetry features of atomic orbitals comprising the Weyl bands result in asymmetric electronic transitions near the Weyl points, and in turn an anisotropic response of interlayer shear motion with respect to linear light polarization, when a near-infrared laser pulse is applied. Consequently, not only annihilation of Weyl quasiparticle pairs, but also increasing separation of Weyl points can be achieved, complementing existing experimental observations. Our results provide a new perspective on manipulating the singularity of Weyl nodes and coherent control of electron and lattice quantum dynamics simultaneously.
We analyze theoretically the $D^+\to νe^+ ρ\bar K$ and $D^+\to νe^+ \bar K^* π$ decays to see the feasibility to check the double pole nature of the axial-vector resonance $K_1(1270)$ predicted by the unitary extensions of chiral perturbation theory (UChPT). Indeed, within UChPT the $K_1(1270)$ is dynamically generated from the interaction of a vector and a pseudoscalar meson, and two poles are obtained for the quantum numbers of this resonance. The lower mass pole couples dominantly to $K^*π$ and the higher mass pole to $ρK$, therefore we can expect that different reactions weighing differently these channels in the production mechanisms enhance one or the other pole. We show that the different final $VP$ channels in $D^+\to νe^+ V P$ weigh differently both poles, and this is reflected in the shape of the final vector-pseudoscalar invariant mass distributions. Therefore, we conclude that these decays are suitable to distinguish experimentally the predicted double pole of the $K_1(1270)$ resonance.
We study the $J/ψ\rightarrow K^+ K^- f_0(980)(a_0(980))$ reaction and find that the mechanism to produce this decay develops a triangle singularity around $M_{\rm inv}(K^- f_0/K^- a_0) \approx 1515$~MeV. The differential width $dΓ/ dM_{\rm inv}(K^- f_0/K^- a_0)$ shows a rapid growth around the invariant mass being 1515~MeV as a consequence of the triangle singularity of this mechanism, which is directly tied to the nature of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ as dynamically generated resonances from the interaction of pseudoscalar mesons. The branching ratios obtained for the $J/ψ\rightarrow K^+ K^- f_0(980)(a_0(980))$ decays are of the order of $10^{-5}$, accessible in present facilities, and we argue that their observation should provide relevant information concerning the nature of the low-lying scalar mesons.
We have studied the $γp\to ηϕp$ reaction within the effective Lagrangian approach, by considering the contribution of the intermediate state $ϕ(2170)$ production, and the background contributions of $t$-channel $π^0$ and $η$ mesons exchanges with the intermediate states $N$ and $N(1535)$. Our calculations show that there may be a peak, at least a bump structure around 2180 MeV associated to the resonance $ϕ(2170)$ in the $ηϕ$ mass distribution. We suggest to search for the resonance $ϕ(2170)$ in this reaction, which would be helpful to shed light on its nature.
Weyl semimetals exhibitinging the topologically nontrivial touching points in electronic band dispersion of solids pave the wave way to novel electronic devices and functionalities. Here, we demonstrate the signature of topologically nontrivial Weyl points (WPs) in phonon dispersion of solids through a first-principles investigations. ofT noncentrosymmetric wurtzite CuI (cuprous iodide at high temperature). These type-II phononic WP in phonon dispersion of wurtzite CuI is manifested in noncentrosymmetric wurtzite CuI by six pairs of the nontrivial touching points in the k_z=0.0 plane. The ideal WPs in phonon dispersion are completely isolated from bulk phonon continuum, are different distinct from many type-II WPs in electronic band dispersion of solids associated with the overlapping band states. The opposite chirality of Weyl phonon nodes with quantized Berry curvature are utilized forproduces Weyl phonon Hall effect, in analogous analogy towith valley Hall effect of electrons. Such ideal type-II Weyl phonons are phase is readily observable in experiment, and could provideing a unique platform to study novel thermal transport properties different distinct from that in type-I Weyl phonons phase.
We have performed a theoretical study on the process $χ_{c0}(1P)\to \barΛΣπ$, by taking into account the final state interactions of $πΣ$ and $π\barΛ$ based on the chiral unitary approach. As the isospin filters of $I=0$ in the $πΣ$ channel and $I=1$ in the $π\barΛ$ channel, this process can be used to study the molecular structure of the $Λ(1405)$ resonance, and to test the existence of the predicted states $Σ(1380)$ and $Σ(1430)$ with spin-parity $J^P=1/2^-$. Our results show that there is a peak around $1350 \sim 1400$~MeV, and a cusp around the $\bar{K}N$ threshold in the $πΣ$ invariant mass distribution, which should be the important feature of the molecular state $Λ(1405)$. We also find a peak around $1380$~MeV, and a cusp around $\bar{K}N$ threshold in the $π\barΛ$ invariant mass distribution, which are associated to the $Σ(1380)$ and $Σ(1430)$ resonances.
We investigate the $J/ψϕ$ invariant mass distribution of the $e^+e^-\to γJ/ψϕ$ reaction at a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=4.6$~GeV measured by the BESIII collaboration, who concludes that no significant signals are observed for $e^+e^- \to γX(4140)$ because of the low statistics. We show, however, that the three bump structures in the $J/ψϕ$ invariant mass distribution, though given only by three data points, are compatible with the existence of the $X(4140)$ state, appearing as a peak, and a strong cusp structure at the $D^*_s\bar{D}^*_s$ threshold, resulting from the molecular nature of the $X(4160)$ state, which also provides a substantial contribution to the reaction. This is consistent with our previous analysis on the $B^+\to J/ψϕK^+$ decay measured by the LHCb collaboration. We strongly call for the measurement of this process with more statistics to further pin down the nature of the $X(4140)$ and $X(4160)$ resonances.
The strong decays of the $5^1S_0$ $q\bar{q}$ states are evaluated in the $^3P_0$ model with two types of space wave functions. Comparing the model expectations with the experimental data for the $π(2360)$, $η(2320)$, $X(2370)$, and $X(2500)$, we suggest that the $π(2360)$, $η(2320)$, and $X(2500)$ can be assigned as the members of the $5^1S_0$ meson nonet, while the $5^1S_0$ assignment for the $X(2370)$ is not favored by its width. The $5^1S_0$ kaon is predicted to have a mass of about 2418 MeV and a width of about 163 MeV or 225 MeV.
Sparse Mobile CrowdSensing (MCS) is a novel MCS paradigm where data inference is incorporated into the MCS process for reducing sensing costs while its quality is guaranteed. Since the sensed data from different cells (sub-areas) of the target sensing area will probably lead to diverse levels of inference data quality, cell selection (i.e., choose which cells of the target area to collect sensed data from participants) is a critical issue that will impact the total amount of data that requires to be collected (i.e., data collection costs) for ensuring a certain level of quality. To address this issue, this paper proposes a Deep Reinforcement learning based Cell selection mechanism for Sparse MCS, called DR-Cell. First, we properly model the key concepts in reinforcement learning including state, action, and reward, and then propose to use a deep recurrent Q-network for learning the Q-function that can help decide which cell is a better choice under a certain state during cell selection. Furthermore, we leverage the transfer learning techniques to reduce the amount of data required for training the Q-function if there are multiple correlated MCS tasks that need to be conducted in the same target area. Experiments on various real-life sensing datasets verify the effectiveness of DR-Cell over the state-of-the-art cell selection mechanisms in Sparse MCS by reducing up to 15% of sensed cells with the same data inference quality guarantee.
Under the assignment of $a_0(1450)$ as the ground isovector scalar meson, the strong decays of $a_0(1950)$ and $a_0(2020)$ are evaluated in the $^3P_0$ model. Our calculations suggest that $a_0(1950)$ and $a_0(2020)$ can be regarded as the same resonance referring to $a_0(3^3P_0)$. The masses and strong decays of $a_0(2^3P_0)$ and $a_0(4^3P_0)$ are also predicted, which can be useful in the search for radially excited scalar mesons in the future.
