Production of the bottomonium-like states $Z_b$ states at $e$-$h$ and ultraperipheral $h$-$h$ collisions

The photoproduction of bottomonium-like states $Z_{b}(10610)$ and $Z_{b}(10650)$ via $γp$ scattering is studied within an effectiv Lagrangian approach and the vector-meson-dominance model. The Regge model is employed to calculate the photoproduction of $Z_{b}$ states via $t$-channel with $π$ exchange.The numerical results show that the values of the total cross-sections of $Z_{b}(10610)$ and $Z_{b}(10650)$ can reach 0.09 nb and 0.02 nb, respectively, near the center of mass energy of 22 GeV. The experimental measurements and studies on the photoproduction of $Z_{b}$ states near energy region around $W\simeq 22$ GeV is suggested. Moreover, with the help of eSTARlight and STARlight programs, one obtains the cross-sections and event numbers of $Z_{b}(10610)$ production in electron-ion collision (EIC) and Ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs). The results show that a considerable number of events from $Z_{b}(10610)$ can be produced on the relevant experiments of EICs and UPCs. Also, one calculates the rates and kinematic distributions for $γp\rightarrow Z_{b}n$ in $ep$ and $pA$ collisions via EICs and UPCs, and the relevant results will provide an important reference for the RHIC, LHC, EIC-US, LHeC, and FCC experiments to search for the bottomonium-like $Z_{b}$ states.

Fitting the trajectories of particles in the equatorial plane of a magnetic dipole with epicycloids

In this paper we discuss epicycloid approximation of the trajectories of charged particles in axisymmetric magnetic fields. Epicycloid trajectories are natural in the Guiding Center approximation and we study in detail the errors arising in this approach. We also discuss how using exact results for particle motion in the equatorial plane of a magnetic dipole the accuracy of this approximation can be significantly extended. We also show that the epicycloids approximate the trajectory of a charged particle more accurately than the position of the particle along the trajectory.

Production of vector mesons in pentaquark states resonance channel in $p$-$A$ ultraperipheral collisions

Ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) of protons and nuclei are important for the study of the photoproduction of vector mesons and exotic states. The photoproduction of vector mesons in the pentaquark resonance channel in $p\mbox{-}Au$ UPCs at the Relative Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and $p$-$Pb$ UPCs at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is investigated by employing STARlight package. The cross sections of vector mesons via pentaquark state resonances channel are obtained using effective Lagrangian method. The pseudo-rapidity and rapidity distributions of $J/ψ$ and $Υ(1S) $ are given for $p\mbox{-}Au$ UPCs at the RHIC and $p$-$Pb$ at the LHC. It is found that the RHIC is a better platform for discovering the pentaquark states than the LHC. Moreover, $P_{b}(11080)$ is easier to identify than $P_c(4312)$ because the background of $Υ(1S)$ is weaker than $J/ψ$ in the $t$-channel at the RHIC.

Near-threshold photoproduction of $J/ψ$ in two-gluon exchange model

The near-threshold photoproduction of $J/ψ$ is regarded as one golden process to unveil the nucleon mass structure, pentaquark state involving the charm quarks, and the poorly constrained gluon distribution of the nucleon at large $x$ ($>0.1$). In this paper, we present an analysis of the current experimental data under a two-gluon exchange model, which shows a good consistency. Using a parameterized function form with three free parameters, we have determined the nucleonic gluon distribution at the $J/ψ$ mass scale. Moreover, we predict the differential cross section of the electroproduction of $J/ψ$ as a function of the invariant mass of the final hadrons $W$, at EicC, as a practical application of the model and the obtained gluon distribution. According to our estimation, thousands of $J/ψ$ events can be detected per year on EicC near the threshold. Therefore, the relevant experimental measurements are suggested to be carried out on EicC.

Discovery potential for the LHCb fully-charm tetraquark $X(6900)$ state via $\bar{p}p$ annihilation reaction

Inspired by the observation of the fully-charm tetraquark $X(6900)$ state at LHCb, the production of $X(6900)$ in $\bar{p}p\rightarrow J/ψJ/ψ$ reaction is studied within an effective Lagrangian approach and Breit-Wigner formula. The numerical results show that the cross section of $X(6900)$ at the c.m. energy of 6.9 GeV is much larger than that from the background contribution. Moreover, we estimate dozens of signal events can be detected by D0 experiment, which indicates that searching for the $X(6900)$ via antiproton-proton scattering may be a very important and promising way. Therefore, related experiments are suggested to be carried out.

Systematic study on production of hidden-bottom pentaquark via $γp$ and $π^{-}p$ scatterings

The production of hidden-bottom pentaquark $P_{b}$ states via $γp$ and $π^{-}p$ scatterings is studied within an effective Lagrangian approach and the vector-meson-dominance mechnism. For the $P_{b}$ production in the process $γp\rightarrow Υp$, the dipole Pomeron model is employed to calculate the background contribution, and the experimental data can be well described. For the process $π^{-}p\rightarrow Υn$, the Reggeized $t$-channel with $π$ exchange is considered as the main background for the $P_{b}$ production. Near the threshold, two-peak structure from the states $P_{b (11080)$ and $P_{b}(11125)$ can be observed if energy bin width is chosen as 0.01 GeV, and the same result is obtained in the $π^{-}p$ scattering. Moreover, by taking the branching ratio of Br$[{P_{b}\rightarrow πN}]\simeq 0.05\%$, the numerical result shows that the average value of cross section from the $P_{b}(11080)$ state produced in the $γp$ or $π^{-}p$ scattering reaches at least 0.1 nb with a bin of 0.1 GeV. Even if we reduce the branching ratio of the $P_{b}$ state into $πN$ channel by one order, the theoretical average of the cross section from $P_{b}(11080)$ production in $π^{-}p$ scattering can reach the order of 0.01 nb with a bin of 0.1 GeV, which means that the signal can still be clearly distinguished from the background. The experimental measurements and studies on the hidden-bottom pentaquark $P_{b}$ state production in the $γp $ or $π^{-}p$ scattering near-threshold energy region around $W\simeq 11$ GeV are strongly suggested, which are accessible at COMPASS and JPARC. Particularly, the result of the photoproduction suggests that it is very promising to observe the hidden-bottom pentaquark at proposed EicC facility in China.

Production of $ϕ(2170)$ and $η(2225)$ in a kaon induced reaction

In this work, we study the production of strange quarkoniums, the $ϕ(2170)$, also named $Y(2175)$, and the $η(2225)$, via a kaon induced reaction on a proton target in an effective Lagrangian approach. The total and differential cross sections of the reactions $K^{-}p\rightarrow ϕ(2170)Λ$ and $K^{-}p\rightarrow η(2225)Λ$ are calculated by the Reggeized $t $-channel Born term under an assumption that the $ϕ(2170)$ and $η(2225)$ are $Λ\barΛ$ molecular states. At the center of mass energies of about 4.2 GeV, the total cross section for the $ϕ(2170)$ production is predicted to be about 1 $μ$b. The numerical results indicate that it is feasible to produce the $ϕ(2170)$ via kaon beam scattering at the best energy window near 4.2 GeV. The total cross section for the $η(2225)$ production is smaller than that for the $ϕ(2170)$ production and it may reach an order of the magnitude of 0.1 $μ$b. The differential cross sections for both reactions at different center of mass energies are also presented. It is found that the Reggeized $t$ channel gives a considerable contribution at forward angles. As the energy increases, the contribution from the $t$-channel almost concentrates at extreme forward angles. From these theoretical predictions, the relevant experimental research is suggested, which could provide important information to clarify the internal structure and production mechanism of these two strange quarkoniums.

Bound state and non-Markovian dynamics of a quantum emitter around a surface plasmonic nanostructure

A bound state between a quantum emitter (QE) and surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) can be formed, where the QE is partially stabilized in its excited state. We put forward a general approach for calculating the energy level shift at a negative frequency $ω$, which is just the negative of the nonresonant part for the energy level shift at positive frequency $-ω$. We also propose an efficient formalism for obtaining the long-time value of the excited-state population without calculating the eigenfrequency of the bound state or performing a time evolution of the system, in which the probability amplitude for the excited state in the steady limit is equal to one minus the integral of the evolution spectrum over the positive frequency range. With the above two quantities obtained, we show that the non-Markovian decay dynamics in the presence of a bound state can be obtained by the method based on the Green's function expression for the evolution operator. A general criterion for identifying the existence of a bound state is presented. These are numerically demonstrated for a QE located around a nanosphere and in a gap plasmonic nanocavity. These findings are instructive in the fields of coherent light-matter interactions.

Pion-induced production of hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_{c}(4312),P_{c}(4440)$, and $P_{c}(4457)$

The production of the hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_{c}$ via pion-induced reaction on a proton target is investigated within an effective Lagrangian approach. Three experimentally observed states, $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$, are considered in the calculation, and the Reggeized $t$-channel meson exchange is considered as main background for the reaction $π^{-}p\rightarrow J/ψn$. The numerical results show that the experimental data of the total cross section of the reaction $π^{-}p\rightarrow J/ψn$ at $W\simeq 5$ GeV can be well explained by contribution of the Reggeized $t$ channel with reasonable cutoff. If the branching ratios $Br[P_{c}\rightarrow J/ψN]\simeq 3\%$ and $Br[P_{c}\rightarrow πN]\simeq 0.05\%$ are taken, the average value of the cross section from the $P_{c}(4312)$ contribution is about 1.2 nb/100 MeV, which is consistent with existing rude data at near-threshold energies. The results indicate that the branching ratios of the $P_{c}$ states to the $J/ψN$ and $πN$ should be small. The shape of differential cross sections shows that the Reggeized $t$-channel provides a sharp increase at extreme forward angles, while the differential cross sections from the $P_{c}$ states contributions are relatively flat. High-precision experimental measurements on the reaction $π^{-}p\rightarrow J/ψn$ at near-threshold energies are suggested to confirm the LHCb hidden-charm pentaquarks as genuine states, and such experiments are also helpful to understand the origin of these resonance structures.

Possibility to study pentaquark states $P_{c}(4312), P_{c}(4440)$, and $P_{c}(4457)$ in $γp\rightarrow J/ψp$ reaction

Inspired by the observation of the pentaquark states $P_{c}(4312),P_{c}(4440)$ and $P_{c}(4457)$ at LHCb, photoproduction of these three $P_{c}$ states via the interaction $γp\rightarrow J/ψp$ is investigated in an effective Lagrangian approach. The $t$-channel Pomeron exchange diffractive process is considered as the main background for the $J/ψ$ photoproduction. The numerical results show that the theoretical cross section, which is calculated by assuming a branching ratio $Br[P_{c}\rightarrow J/ψp]\simeq 3\%$, is consistent with the existing experimental data of the $ γp\rightarrow J/ψp$ process. With such a branching ratio, if experimental precision reaches 0.1 nb within a bin of 100 MeV for photon energy, two peaks are expected to be obviously observed in the $J/ψ$ photoproduction. To observe the two-peak structure from $P_{c}(4440)$ and $ P_{c}(4457)$, higher precision, about 0.1nb/10 MeV, is required to distinguish two close pentaquarks. If the physical branching ratio is larger, the requirement of experimental precision will be reduced. The differential cross sections for reaction $γp\rightarrow J/ψp$ are also present. It is found that the $t$-channel Pomeron exchange provides a sharp increase at extreme forward angles and gives a sizable contribution at most energy points, while the contributions from the $s$-channel $P_{c}$ exchanges play important roles at threshold energies. The experimental measurement of the $γp\rightarrow J/ψp$ process in the near-threshold energy region around $E_{γ}\simeq 9.4-10.5$ GeV is suggested, and is accessible at CEBAF@JLab and COMPASS.

Level shift and decay dynamics of a quantum emitter around plasmonic nanostructure

We put forward a general approach for calculating the quantum energy level shift for emitter in arbitrary nanostructures, in which the energy level shift is expressed by the sum of the real part of the scattering photon Green function (GF) and a simple integral about the imaginary part of the photon GF in the real frequency range without principle value. Compared with the method of direct principal value integral over the positive frequency axis and the method by transferring into the imaginary axis, this method avoids the principle value integral and the calculation of the scattering GF with imaginary frequency. In addition, a much narrower frequency range about the scattering photon GF in enough to get a convergent result. It is numerically demonstrated in the case for a quantum emitter (QE) located around a nanosphere and in a gap plasmonic nanocavity. Quantum dynamics of the emitter is calculated by the time domain method through solving Schrödinger equation in the form of Volterra integral of the second kind and by the frequency domain method based on the Green's function expression for the evolution operator. It is found that the frequency domain method needs information of the scattering GF over a much narrower frequency range. In addition, reversible dynamics is observed. These findings are instructive in the fields of coherent light-matter interactions.

Finite element method for obtaining the regularized photon Green function in lossy material

Photon Green function (GF) is the vital and most decisive factor in the field of quantum light-matter interaction. It is divergent with two equal space arguments in arbitrary-shaped lossy structure and should be regularized. We introduce a finite element method for calculating the regularized GF. It is expressed by the averaged radiation electric field over the finite-size of the photon emitter. For emitter located in homogeneous lossy material, excellent agreement with the analytical results is found for both real cavity model and virtual cavity model. For emitter located in a metal nano-sphere, the regularized scattered GF, which is the difference between the regularized GF and the analytical regularized one in homogeneous space, agrees well with the analytical scattered GF.

Productions of $f_{1}(1420)$ in pion and kaon induced reactions

The $f_{1}(1420)$ productions via pion and kaon induced reactions on a proton target are investigated in an effective Lagrangian approach. Two treatments of the $t$-channel Born term, the Feynman model and the Regge model, are introduced to calculate the total and differential cross sections of the $π^{-}p\rightarrow f_{1}(1420)n$ and $K^{-}p\rightarrow f_{1}(1420)Λ$ reactions. The numerical results indicate that the experimental data of the total cross section of the $π^{-}p\rightarrow f_{1}(1420)n$ reaction can be reproduced in both the Feynman and the Regge models. Based on the parameters determined in the pion induced reaction, the cross sections of the $K^{-}p\rightarrow f_{1}(1420)Λ$ reaction, about which there is little data found in the literature, are predicted in the same beam momentum range. It is found that the line shapes of the total cross section obtained in a kaon induced reaction with two treatments are quite different. The cross sections for both reactions are at an order of magnitude of $μ$b, or larger, at a beam momenta up to 10 GeV/c. The differential cross sections for both pion and kaon induced reactions are also present. It is found that in the Regge model, the $t$ channel provides a sharp increase at extreme forward angles. The results suggest that the experimental study of the $f_1(1420)$ in the kaon induced reaction on a proton target is as promising as in the pion induced reaction. Such an experimental measurement is also very helpful to clarify the production mechanism of the $f_1(1420)$.

Polarization-dependent property of dipole-dipole interaction mediated by localized surface plasmon of an Ag nanosphere

The effect of the dipole polarization on the quantum dipole dipole interaction near an Ag nanosphere (ANS) is investigated. A theoretical formalism in terms of classical Green function is developed for the transfer rate and the potential energy of the dipole dipole interaction (DDI) between two polarized dipoles. It is found that a linear transition dipole can couple to a left circularly polarized transition dipole much stronger than to a right circularly polarized transition dipole. This polarization selectivity exists over a wide frequency range and is robust against the variation of the dipoles' position or the radius of the ANS. In contrast, a right circularly polarized transition dipole, can change sharply from coupling strongly to another right circularly polarized dipole to coupling strongly to a left circularly polarized dipole with varying frequency. However, if the two dipoles are placed in the same radial direction of the sphere, the right circularly polarized transition dipole can only couple to the dipole with the same polarization while not to the left circularly polarized transition dipole. These findings may be used in solid-state quantum-information processing based on the DDI.

Investigation of pion-induced $f_1(1285)$ production off a nucleon target within an interpolating Reggeized approach

In this work, the pion-induced $f_1(1285)$ production off a nucleon target is investigated in an effective Lagrangian approach with an interpolating Reggeized treatment in a large range of the pion-beam momentum from threshold up to several tens of GeV. The $s$-channel, $u$-channel, and $t $-channel Born terms are included to calculate production cross sections. An interpolating Reggeized treatment is applied to the $t$ channel, which is found to be important to reproduce the behavior of the existent experimental total cross sections at both low ($\lesssim$ 8 GeV) and high pion-beam momenta ($\gtrsim$ 8 GeV). It is found that the $t$-channel contribution is dominant in the pion-induced $f_1(1285)$ production at low beam momentum and still dominant at very forward angles at high momentum. The interpolated Reggeized treatment of the $u$ channel is also discussed. The $u$-channel contribution is small and negligible at low momentum, and it becomes dominant at backward angles at momenta higher than 10 GeV. The differential cross sections are predicted with the model fixed by the fitting existent experimental data. The results are helpful to the possible experiments at J-PARC and COMPASS.

Analysis of recent CLAS data on $f_{1}(1285)$ photoproduction

Based on the experimental data released recently by the CLAS Collaboration, the $f_{1}(1285)$ photoproduction off a proton target is investigated in an effective Lagrangian approach. In our model, $s$-channel, $u$-channel, and $t$-channel Born terms are included to calculate the differential cross sections, which are compared with the recent CLAS experiment. An interpolating Reggeized treatment is applied to the $t$ channel, and it is found that the $t$-channel contribution is dominant in the $f_1(1285)$ photoproduction and the $u$-channel contribution is responsible for the enhancement at backward angles. The present calculation does not take into account any explicit $s$-channel nucleon-resonance contribution; nevertheless, our model provides a good description of the main features of the data. It suggests small couplings of the $f_1(1285)$ and the nucleon resonances in this energy region.

The production of neutral $N^*(11052)$ resonance with hidden beauty from $π^-p$ scattering

We investigate the discovery potential of the predicted neutral hidden beauty $N^*(11052)$ resonance through $π^- p$ scattering within an effective Lagrangian approach. Two reactions $π^-p\rightarrow K^-Σ^+$ and $π^-p\rightarrow η_bn$ are studied in this work, with nucleon pole exchange as the background. It is found that the contributions of the $N^*(11052)$ resonance give clear peak structures in the magnitude of 1 $μb$ near the threshold of the $N^*(11052)$ in the total cross sections. The numerical results indicate that the center of mass energy $W\simeq$ 11-11.1 GeV would be a best energy window for searching the $N^*(11052)$ resonance, where the $N^*(11052)$ signal can be easily distinguished from the background. The COMPASS experiment at CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) with pion beam of $\simeq$ 280 GeV will be an ideal platform for searching the super-heavy resonance with hidden beauty, which is hopeful to test the theoretical results.

Analysis of recent CLAS data on $Σ^{\ast }(1385)$ photoproduction off a neutron target

Based on recent experimental data obtained by the CLAS Collaboration, the $Σ(1385)$ photoproduction off a neutron target at laboratory photon energies $E_γ$ up to 2.5\,GeV is investigated in an effective Lagrangian approach including $s$-, $u$-, and $t$-channel Born-term contributions. The present calculation does not take into account any explicit $s$-channel baryon-resonance contributions, however, in the spirit of duality, we include $t$-channel exchanges of mesonic Regge trajectories. The onset of the Regge regime is controlled by smoothly interpolating between Feynman-type single-meson exchanges and full-fledged Regge-trajectory exchanges. Gauge invariance broken by the Regge treatment is fully restored by introducing contact-type interaction currents that result from the implementation of \textit{local} gauge invariance in terms of generalized Ward-Takahashi identities. The cross sections for the $γn\to K^+Σ^*(1385)^-$ reaction are calculated and compared with experimental results from the CLAS and LEPS collaborations. Despite its simplicity, the present theoretical approach provides a good description of the main features of the data. However, the parameters fitted to the data show that the gauge-invariance-restoring contact term plays a large role which may point to large contributions from final-state interactions.
