The light meson decays of $D$ wave charmonia

Motivated by the large non-$D\bar{D}$ branching fraction of $ψ(3770)$, we investigate the light meson decays of the $D$-wave charmonia in the present work with the meson loop mechanism. With the parameter range determined by $ψ(3770) \to ϕη$, our estimations of the branching fractions of the light meson decays of $ψ(3770)$ are consistent with the estimations in the literature. As for $ψ(3823)$, the partial widths of $K^\ast \bar{K}^\ast$ channel is estimated to be around 200 keV, which is the the predominant light meson decay channel of $ψ(3823)$. Our estimations also indicate that $K^{(\ast)}\bar{K}^{(\ast)}$ and $ρπ$ are the dominant light meson decay modes of $ψ(3842)$, while $η_{c2}$ dominantly decays into $ρρ$, $K^\ast \bar{K}^\ast$, $ωω$ and $ϕϕ$.

Two-body Hidden Charm Decays of $D$ Wave Charmonia

The experimental observations of $ψ_2(3823)$ and $ψ_3(3842)$ make $D$ wave charmonia family abundant. In the present work, we investigate the hidden charm decay processes of spin triplets of the $D$-wave charmonia with the meson loop mechanism. The model parameter $α_Λ$ is determined by reproducing the branching fraction of $ψ(3770)\to J/ψη$. With this range of model parameter values, the branching fractions (partial widths) of $ψ(3770) \to η_c ω$, $ψ_2(3823)/ψ_3(3842) \to J/ψη$, $ψ_2(3823)/ψ_3(3842) \to η_c ω$ are estimated. Our estimations find that the partial width of $ψ_2(3823) \to J/ψη$ is $\left(29.64^{+4.01}_{-4.63}\right)\ \mathrm{keV}$, and the partial width ratio of $ψ_2(3823) \to J/ψη$ relative to $ψ_2(3823)\to γχ_{c1}$ is about $10\%$, which could be tested by further precise measurements from the BESIII, Belle II and LHCb Collaborations.

Molecular components in the $J/ψ$ and the $ρ$-$π$ puzzle

Motivated by the large branching fractions of $J/ψ\to f_0 (1710) ω/f_0(1710) ϕ$ and the light exotic candidates, we find that there may exist molecular states composed of $f_0(1710) ω$ and $f_0 (1710) ϕ$, which correspond to $X(2440)$ and $X(2680)$ observed in a few decades before. The branching fraction of $X(2440)$ and $X(2680)$ to various $PV$ channels and $KKω(ϕ)$ channels are estimated in the molecular scenario. In addition, the large branching fractions of $J/ψ\to f_0 (1710) ω/f_0(1710) ϕ$ indicate the sizable molecular components in the $J/ψ$ state. Thus, we consider the $J/ψ$ as the supperposition of $c\bar{c}(1S)$, $f_0(1710) ω$ and $f_0 (1710) ϕ$ molecular states, and these molecular components have significant impact on the light hadron decays of $J/ψ$, which may shield light on the long standing $ρ-π$ puzzle.

Revisiting the determining fraction of glueball component in $f_0$ mesons via radiative decays of $J/ψ$

QCD theory predicts the existence of glueballs, but so far all experimental endeavors have failed to identify any such states. To remedy this discrepancy between QCD, which has proven to be a successful theory for strong interactions, and the failure of experimental searches for glueballs, one is tempted to accept the promising interpretation that the glueballs mix with regular $q\bar q$ states of the same quantum numbers. The lattice estimate of the masses of pure $0^{++}$ glueballs ranges from 1 to 2 GeV, which is the region of the $f_0$ family. Thus many authors suggest that the $f_0$ mesonic series is an ideal place to study possible mixtures of glueballs and $q\bar q$. In this paper, following the strategy proposed by Close, Farrar and Li, we try to determine the fraction of glueball components in $f_0$ mesons using the measured mass spectra and the branching ratios of $J/ψ$ radiative decays into $f_0$ mesons. Since the pioneering papers by Close et al., more than 20 years has elapsed and more accurate measurements have been done by several experimental collaborations, so it is time to revisit this interesting topic using new data. We suppose $f_0(500)$ and $f_0(980)$ to be pure quark states, while for $f_0(1370)$, $f_0(1500)$ and $f_0(1710)$, to fit both the experimental data of $J/ψ$ radiative decay and their mass spectra, glueball components are needed. Moreover, the mass of the pure $0^{++}$ glueball is phenomenologically determined.

A possible interpretation for $X(6900)$ observed in four-muon final state by LHCb -- A light Higgs-like boson?

A peak structure of $J/ψ$ pair production around $6.9~{\rm GeV}$ was observed and analyzed by the LHCb collaboration using the Run I and II data of LHC. How to understand this peak arouses enthusiastic discussions among both theorists and experimentalists of high energy physics, because this discovery might hint something new. Overwhelming works on this topic tend to attribute the peak as a four-quark state: tetraquark or molecule. Instead, we suggest that this peak is corresponding to a fundamental Higgs-like boson with mass about $6.9~{\rm GeV}$ which is advocated by a BSM effective theory. We present a detailed analysis on both signal and SM background, including integrated cross sections and invariant mass distributions of the final-state $J/ψ$ pair. Our numerical results are well in coincidence with the experimental data, as postulating the resonance observed by LHCb to be a BSM $0^{++}$ scalar. Therefore, the peak at $M_{\text{di-}J/ψ} \sim 6.9~{\rm GeV}$ might be a hint of new physics beyond the SM whose scale is not as large as mostly expected by high energy physicists. More further works are urgently needed in both experimental and theoretical aspects to validate or negate this assumption.

Hunting for possible Higgs-like boson beyond the Standard Model

A recent preliminary investigation based on Durgut's report at the American Physical Society site shows a structure at $18.4~ {\rm GeV}$ exists in the invariant mass distribution of $Υl^+l^- ~ (l = e,\, μ)$ at the LHC center-of-mass energy of $7$ and $8~ {\rm TeV}$. Its appearance attracts attention of theorists and experimentalists of high energy physics, because it might be a Higgs-like boson of $18.4~ {\rm GeV}$ which would serve as a signal of the new physics beyond the Standard Model. We have carried out computations on the corresponding quantities (production and decay rates) based on quantum field theory and compared the results with experimental data. Our numerical results do not support the assertion that the $18.4~ {\rm GeV}$ peak corresponds to a neutral $0^{++}$ boson which decays into $Υl^+l^-$. Much further works (both experimental and theoretical) are badly needed.

Looking for New Physics via Semi-leptonic and Leptonic rare decays of $D$ and $D_s$

It is well recognized that looking for new physics at lower energy colliders is a tendency which is complementary to high energy machines such as LHC. Based on large database of BESIII, we may have a unique opportunity to do a good job. In this paper we calculate the branching ratios of semi-leptonic processes $D^+_s \to K^+ e^-e^+$, $D^+_s \to K^+ e^-μ^+$ and leptonic processes $D^0 \to e^-e^+$, $D^0 \to e^-μ^+$ in the frames of $U(1)'$ model, 2HDM and unparticle separately. It is found that both the $U(1)'$ and 2HDM may influence the semi-leptonic decay rates, but only the $U(1)'$ offers substantial contributions to the pure leptonic decays and the resultant branching ratio of $D^0 \to e^-μ^+$ can be as large as $10^{-7}\sim10^{-8}$ which might be observed at the future super $τ$-charm factory.

Study on the rare decays of $Y(4630)$ induced by final state interactions

A resonance $Y(4630)$ at the invariant mass spectrum of $Λ_c \barΛ_c$ observed by the Belle Collaboration triggers a hot discussion about its inner structure. Since it preferably decays into two charmed baryons $Λ_c\barΛ_c$, it is tempted to conjecture it as a tetraquark. Because the dominant decay portal $Y(4630)\to Λ_c \barΛ_c$ is close to the energy threshold, the final state interactions may be significant and result in other baryonic and/or mesonic final states whose branching fractions are sizable to be measured in the future experiments. In this work we calculate the branching ratios of the $Y(4630)$ decays into $p\bar p$, $D^{(*)+} D^{(*)-}$, $π^+π^-$, and $K^+K^-$ which are induced by the $Λ_c \barΛ_c$ re-scattering. The resultant decay patterns will be tested by the future experiments and the consistency degree with the data composes a valuable probe for the tetraquark conjecture.

Study of the rare decay $J/ψ\rightarrow e^+e^- ϕ$

We study the decay process of $J/ψ\rightarrow e^+e^- ϕ$ where the relatively clean electromagnetic (EM) transitions appear at leading order at tree level while the hadronic contributions only emerge via hadronic loop transitions. We include the low-lying scalar $f_0(980)$ and pseudoscalar $η/η'$ as the dominant contributions in the evaluation of the hadronic loop contributions. It is found that the hadronic effects are negligible comparing with the EM contributions. The decay width of $J/ψ\rightarrow e^+e^- ϕ$ is determined to be about $2.12\times 10^{-6}$ keV if there is no any other leading mechanism contributing, and this result will be tested by the BESIII experiment with a large data sample of $J/ψ$.

Study on direct pion emission in decay $D^{*+} \to D^+ π$

The QCD multipole expansion (QCDME) is based on the quantum field theory, so should be more reliable. However, on another aspect, it refers to the non-perturbative QCD , so that has a certain application range. Even though it successfully explains the data of transition among members of the $Υ$ ($ψ$) family, as Eichten indicates, beyond the production threshold of mediate states it fails to meet data by several orders. In this work, by studying a simple decay mode $D^*\to D+π^0$, where a pion may be emitted before $D^*$ transiting into $D$, we analyze the contribution of QCD multipole expansion. Whereas as the $Dπ$ portal is open, the dominant contribution is an OZI allowed process where a light quark-pair is excited out from vacuum and its contribution can be evaluated by the $^3P_0$ model. Since the direct pion emission is a process which is OZI suppressed and violates the isospin conservation, its contribution must be much smaller than the dominant one. By a careful calculation, we may quantitatively estimate how small the QCDME contribution should be and offer a quantitative interpretation for Eichten's statement.

Search for supersymmetric baryons near production threshold in terms of the superflavor symmetry

The supersymmetry (SUSY) may be one of the most favorable extensions of the standard model (SM), however, so far at LHC no evidence of the SUSY particles were observed. An obvious question is whether they have already emerged, but escaped from our detection, or do not exist at all. We propose that the future ILC may provide sufficient energy to produce SUSY particles if they are not too heavy in the low background environment. The superflavor symmetry associates baryons with mesons as long as both of them containing a heavy constituent and a light one. In this work, we estimate the production rate of SUSY baryons near their production threshold in terms of the $B\bar B$ production data. Our analysis indicates that if the SUSY baryons with masses below $\sqrt s/2$ ($\sqrt s$ is the ILC energy) exist, they could be observed at future ILC.

Top Quark Forward-Backward Asymmetry in the Little Higgs Model

We calculate the forward backward asymmetry of the top-pair production at TEVATRON up to next to leading order (NLO) in the little Higgs model (LHM). We find that the contribution of $Z_H$ can be large enough to make up the gap between standard model (SM) prediction and data. With the database of $7.65\pm0.20\pm0.36$ pb, therefore, the parameter space for flavor-changing coupling of $Z_H$ is constrained. Thus this model can result in the required asymmetry while the total cross section of top-pair production remaining consistent with data.
