Singly heavy tetraquarks

In this work, we carry out a systematic study of the spectra of the $1S$-wave states for the whole singly-heavy tetraquark systems within a semi-relativistic hybrid quark potential model, in which both the one-gluon exchange (OGE) and one-boson exchange (OBE) interactions are included. Furthermore, the fall-apart decays are evaluated with the quark exchange model by combining the obtained spectra. It is found that besides the OGE potentials, the OBE potentials play crucial roles for describing the spectrum. All of our obtained states lie far above the lowest dissociation meson-meson threshold. They are compact states with relatively narrow fall-apart widths $\sim 1-120$~MeV. The $D_{s0}(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$, $T_{b\bar{s}}(5568)$, and $T_{c\bar{s}}(2327)$ resonances reported from experiments cannot be explained as compact tetraquarks. While the $T_{\bar{c}\bar{s}0}(2870)$ and $T_{c\bar{s}0}(2900)$ favor the tetraquark states with $IJ^P=00^+$ and $10^+$, i.e. $T_{(\bar{c}\bar{s}[ud])0^+}^0(2919)$ and $T_{(cn\{\bar{s}\bar{n}\})0^+}^{1}(2922)$, respectively. More singly-heavy tetraquark states have good potentials to be observed in some of their dominant decay channels in experiments.

Retarded interaction between opposite chiral edges in anomalous Hall crystals

An anomalous Hall crystal combines spontaneous electronic crystallization with a Chern insulating gap, supporting both chiral edge modes and low-energy electronic phonons. We show that this coexistence produces a distinct dynamical effect from ordinary Chern insulators: transverse bulk phonons can mediate a retarded interaction between counterpropagating chiral edge modes on opposite sides of the sample, realizing a Luttinger-liquid variant with delayed inter-edge coupling. Using microscopic time-dependent Hartree--Fock calculations for rhombohedral pentalayer graphene, we find that lowering the carrier density softens the long-wavelength transverse phonon mode. Near this instability regime, the resulting boundary-projected phonon continuum inevitably overlaps with the edge dispersion, thereby enabling their coupling. A smoking-gun probe is a nonlocal measurement: a drive applied to one edge can induce a response on the other edge, delayed by the transverse phonon time of flight across the sample.

Unified study of nucleon and $\Delta$ baryon spectra and their strong decays with chiral dynamics

In this work we systematically study both the mass spectra and strong decays of the nucleon and $\Delta$ resonances up to the $N=2$ shell within a unified quark model framework with chiral dynamics. In this framework we achieve a good description of the strong decay properties of the well-established nucleon and $\Delta$ resonances. Meanwhile, the mass reversal between $N(1440)1/2^{+}$ as the first radial excitation state and the $1P$-wave nucleon resonances can be explained. We show that the three-body spin-orbit potential arising from the one-gluon exchange can cause a large configuration mixing between $N(1520)3/2^-$ and $N(1700)3/2^-$, and is also responsible for the large splitting between $\Delta(1600)1/2^-$ and $\Delta(1700)3/2^-$. Some of these baryon resonances turn to weakly couple to the $N\pi$, $N\eta$, $K\Lambda$, and $K\Sigma$ channels, which may answer the question why they have not been established in these channels via the $\pi N$ and $\gamma N$ scatterings. It shows that these ``missing resonances" may have large potentials to be established in the $N\pi\pi$ final state due to their large decay rates into either the $\Delta(1232)$ or $1P$-wave nucleon resonances via the pionic decays. Further experimental search for their signals in charmonium decays at BESIII is thus strongly recommended.

Further understanding the nature of $\Omega(2012)$ within a chiral quark model

In our previous works, we have analyzed the two-body strong decays of the low-lying $\Omega$ baryon states within a chiral quark model. The results show that the $\Omega(2012)$ resonance favors the three-quark state with $J^P=3/2^-$ classified in the quark model. With this assignment, in the present work we further study the three-body strong decay $\Omega(2012)\to \Xi^*(1530)\bar{K} \to \Xi\pi\bar{K}$ and coupled-channel effects on $\Omega(2012)$ from nearby channels $\Xi \bar{K}$, $\Omega\eta$ and $\Xi^*(1530)\bar{K}$ within the chiral quark model as well. It is found that the $\Omega(2012)$ resonance has a sizeable decay rate into the three-body final state $\Xi\pi\bar{K}$. The predicted ratio $R_{\Xi\bar{K}}^{\Xi\pi\bar{K}}=\mathcal{B}[\Omega(2012)\to \Xi^*(1530)\bar{K}\to \Xi\pi\bar{K}]/\mathcal{B}[\Omega(2012)\to \Xi\bar{K}]\simeq 12\%$ is close to the up limit $11\%$ measured by the Belle Collaboration in 2019, however, our predicted ratio is too small to be comparable with the recent data $0.97\pm 0.31$. Furthermore, our results show that the coupled-channel effects on the $\Omega(2012)$ is not large, its components should be dominated by the bare three-quark state, while the proportion of the molecular components is only $\sim 16\%$. To clarify the nature of $\Omega(2012)$, the ratio $R_{\Xi\bar{K}}^{\Xi\pi\bar{K}}$ is expected to be tested by other experiments.
