Topological edge states at singular points in non-Hermitian plasmonic systems

We introduce non-Hermitian plasmonic waveguide-cavity systems with topological edge states (TESs) at singular points. The compound unit cells of the structures consist of metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) stub resonators side-coupled to an MDM waveguide. We show that we can realize both a TES and an exceptional point at the same frequency when a proper amount of loss is introduced into a finite three-unit-cell structure. We also show that the finite structure can exhibit both a TES and a spectral singularity when a proper amount of gain is introduced into the structure. In addition, we show that we can simultaneously realize a unidirectional spectral singularity and a TES when proper amounts of loss and gain are introduced into the structure. We finally show that this singularity leads to extremely high sensitivity of the reflected light intensity to variations of the refractive index of the active materials in the structure. TESs at singular points could potentially contribute to the development of singularity-based plasmonic devices with enhanced performance.

Production of the $T^{+}_{cc}$ state in the $γp\to{}D^{+}\bar{T}^{-}_{cc}Λ_c^{+}$ reaction

Stimulated by the recent LHCb observation of a new exotic charged structure $T^{+}_{cc}$, we propose to use the central diffractive mechanism existing in the $γp\to{}D^{+}\bar{T}^{-}_{cc}Λ_c^{+}$ ($\bar{T}_{cc}$ is antiparticle of $T^{+}_{cc}$) reaction to produce $T^{+}_{cc}$. Our theoretical approach is based on the chiral unitary theory where the $T^{+}_{cc}$ resonance is dynamically generated. With the coupling constant of the $T^{+}_{cc}$ to $DD^{*}$ channel obtained from chiral unitary theory, the total cross sections of the $γp\to{}D^{+}\bar{T}^{-}_{cc}Λ_c^{+}$ reaction are evaluated. Our study indicates that the cross section for $γp\to{}D^{+}\bar{T}^{-}_{cc}Λ_c^{+}$ reaction are of the order of 1.0 pb, which is accessible at the proposed EicC~\cite{Anderle:2021wcy} and US-EIC~\cite{Accardi:2012qut} due to the higher luminosity. If measured in future experiments, the predicted total cross sections can be used to test the (molecular) nature of the $T^{+}_{cc}$.

Photoproduction of possible pentaquark states $Λ^0_b(5912)$ and $Λ^0_b(5920)$ in the $γp\to{}Λ_b^{0(*)}B^+$ reactions

In this work, we report on a theoretical study of possible pentaquark states $Λ^0_b(5912)$ and $Λ^0_b(5920)$ in the $γp\to{}Λ_b^{0(*)}B^+$ reactions within an effective Lagrangian approach. In addition to the contributions from the $s$-channel nucleon pole and $t$-channel $\bar{B}^{{*}-}$ exchange, the contact term contribution are also included. Our theoretical approach is based on the chiral unitary theory where the $Λ^0_b(5912)$ and $Λ^0_b(5920)$ resonances are dynamically generated. Within the coupling constants of the $Λ^0_b(5912)$ and $Λ^0_b(5920)$ to $\bar{B}p$ and $\bar{B}^{*}p$ channels obtained from chiral unitary theory, the total and differential cross sections of the $γp\to{}Λ_b^{0(*)}B^+$ are evaluated. Our calculation indicates that the cross section for $γp\to{}Λ_b^{0}(5912)B^{+}$ and $γp\to{}Λ_b^{0}(5920)B^{+}$ reactions are of the order of 0.0164 nb and 0.00527 nb,respectively. If measured in future experiments, such as Electron-Ion Collider in China (EicC) or US(US-EIC), the predicted total cross sections and specific features of the angular distributions can be used to test the (molecular) nature of the $Λ^0_b(5912)$ and $Λ^0_b(5920)$ that they may be pentaquark states.

Electron-Ion Collider in China

Lepton scattering is an established ideal tool for studying inner structure of small particles such as nucleons as well as nuclei. As a future high energy nuclear physics project, an Electron-ion collider in China (EicC) has been proposed. It will be constructed based on an upgraded heavy-ion accelerator, High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) which is currently under construction, together with a new electron ring. The proposed collider will provide highly polarized electrons (with a polarization of $\sim$80%) and protons (with a polarization of $\sim$70%) with variable center of mass energies from 15 to 20 GeV and the luminosity of (2-3) $\times$ 10$^{33}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$. Polarized deuterons and Helium-3, as well as unpolarized ion beams from Carbon to Uranium, will be also available at the EicC. The main foci of the EicC will be precision measurements of the structure of the nucleon in the sea quark region, including 3D tomography of nucleon; the partonic structure of nuclei and the parton interaction with the nuclear environment; the exotic states, especially those with heavy flavor quark contents. In addition, issues fundamental to understanding the origin of mass could be addressed by measurements of heavy quarkonia near-threshold production at the EicC. In order to achieve the above-mentioned physics goals, a hermetical detector system will be constructed with cutting-edge technologies. This document is the result of collective contributions and valuable inputs from experts across the globe. The EicC physics program complements the ongoing scientific programs at the Jefferson Laboratory and the future EIC project in the United States. The success of this project will also advance both nuclear and particle physics as well as accelerator and detector technology in China.

Radiative decay of the $Ξ(1620)$ in a hadronic molecule picture

Last year, the $Ξ(1620)$ state that is cataloged in the Particle Data Group (PDG) with only one star is reported again in the $Ξ^{-}π^{+}$ final state by the Belle Collaboration. Its properties not only the spectroscopy but also the decay width cannot be simply explained in the context of conventional constituent quark models. This intrigues an active discussion on the structure of this resonance. In this work, we study the radiative decays of the newly observed $Ξ(1620)$ assuming that it is a meson-baryon molecular state of $Λ\bar{K}$ and $Σ\bar{K}$ with spin-parity $J^P=1/2^{-}$ in our previous work. The partial decay widths of the $Λ\bar{K}-Σ\bar{K}$ molecular state into $Ξγ$ and $Ξπγ$ final states through hadronic loops are evaluated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. The partial widths for the $Ξ(1620)^0\toγΞ$ and $Ξ(1620)^0\toγΞπ$ are evaluated to be about $118.76-174.21$ KeV and $58.19-68.75$ eV, respectively, which may be accessible for the LHCb. If the $Ξ(1620)$ is $Λ\bar{K}-Σ\bar{K}$ molecule, the radiative transition strength $Ξ(1620)^0\toγ\bar{K}Λ$ is quite small and the decay width is of the order of 0.01 eV. Future experimental measurements of these processes can be useful to test the molecule interpretations of the $Ξ(1620)$.

Strong decays of $\bar{D}^{}K^{}$ molecules and the newly observed $X_{0,1}$ states

Lately, the LHCb Collaboration reported the discovery of two new states in the $B^+\rightarrow D^+D^- K^+$ decay, i.e., $X_0(2866)$ and $X_1(2904)$. In the present work, we study whether these states can be understood as $D^*\bar{K}^*$ molecules from the perspective of their two-body strong decays into $D^-K^+$ via triangle diagrams and three-body decays into $D^*\bar{K}π$. The coupling of the two states to $D^*\bar{K}^*$ are determined from the Weinberg compositeness condition, while the other relevant couplings are well known. The obtained strong decay width for the $X_0(2866)$, in marginal agreement with the experimental value within the uncertainty of the model, hints at a large $D^*\bar{K}^*$ component in its wave function. On the other hand, the strong decay width for the $X_1(2904)$, much smaller than its experimental counterpart, effectively rules out its assignment as a $D^*\bar{K}^*$ molecule.

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.

Strong decays of the $Ξ(1620)$ as a $Λ\bar{K}$ and $Σ\bar{K}$ molecule

In this work, we study the strong decays of the newly observed $Ξ(1620)^0$ assuming that it is a meson-baryon molecular state of $Λ\bar{K}$ and $Σ\bar{K}$. We consider four possible spin-parity assignments $J^P=1/2^{\pm}$ and $3/2^{\pm}$ for the $Ξ(1620)^0$, and evaluate its partial decay width into $Ξπ$ via hadronic loops with the help of effective Lagrangians. In comparison with the Belle data, the calculated decay width favors the spin-party assignment $1/2^-$ while the other spin-parity assignments do not yield a decay width consistent with data in the molecule picture. We find that about $52\%$-$68\%$ of the total width comes from the $\bar{K}Λ$ channel, while the rest is provided by the $\bar{K}Σ$ channel. As a result, both channels are important in explaining the strong decay of the $Ξ(1620)^0$. This information is helpful to further understand the nature of the $Ξ(1620)^0$.

Description of the newly observed $Ξ_c^{0}$ states as molecular states

Very recently, three new structures $Ξ_c(2923)^0$, $Ξ(2938)^0$, and $Ξ(2964)^0$ at the invariant mass spectrum of $Λ_c^{+}K^{-}$ observed by the LHCb Collaboration triggers a hot discussion about their inner structure. In this work, we study the strong decay mode of the newly observed $Ξ_c$ assuming that the $Ξ_c$ is a $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecular state. With the possible quantum numbers $J^p=1/2^{\pm}$ and $3/2^{\pm}$, the partial decay widths of the $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecular state into the $Λ_c^{+}K^{-}$, $Σ_c^{+}K^{-}$,and $Ξ_c^{+}π^{-}$ final states through hadronic loop are calculated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. By comparison with the LHCb observation, the current results of total decay width support the $Ξ(2923)^0$ as $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecule while the decay width of the $Ξ_c(2938)^0$ and $Ξ(2964)^0$ can not be well reproduced in the molecular state picture. In addition, the calculated partial decay widths with $S$ wave $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecular state picture indicate that allowed decay modes, $Ξ_c^{+}π^{-}$, may have the biggest branching ratios for the $Ξ_c(2923)$. The experimental measurements for this strong decay process could be a crucial test for the molecule interpretation of the $Ξ_c(2923)$.

Radiative decay of $Ξ_b(6227)$ in a hadronic molecule picture

The $Ξ_b(6227)$ baryon with the quantum number $J^P=1/2^{-}$ is considered as a molecular state composed of a $Σ_b$ baryon and $\bar{K}$ meson. The partial decay widths of the $Σ_b\bar{K}$ molecular state into $Ξ_bγ$ and $Ξ_b^{'}γ$ final states through hadronic loops are evaluated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. The partial widths for the $Ξ_b(6227)\toγΞ_b$ and $Ξ_b(6227)\toγΞ^{'}_b$ are evaluated to be about 1.50-1.02 KeV and 17.56-24.91 KeV, respectively, which may be accessible for the LHCb. Based on our results we argue that an experimental determination of the radiative decay width of $Ξ_b(6227)$ is important for the understanding of its intrinsic properties.

Strong decays of the explicitly exotic doubly charmed $DDK$ bound state

Nowadays, it is generally accepted that the $DK$ interaction in isospin zero is strongly attractive and the $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ can be described as a $DK$ molecular state. Recent studies show that the three-body $DDK$ system binds as well with a binding energy about 60$\sim$70 MeV. The $DDK$ bound state has isospin $1/2$ and spin-parity $0^-$. If discovered either experimentally or in lattice QCD, it will not only provide further support on the molecular nature of the $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, but also provide a way to understand other exotic hadrons expected to be of molecular nature. In the present work, we study its two-body strong decay widths via triangle diagrams. We find that the partial decay width into $DD_sπ$ is at the order of $2\sim3$ MeV, which seems to be within the reach of the current experiments such as BelleII. As a result, we strongly recommend this decay channel of the $DDK$ bound state to be searched for experimentally.

Exploring the molecular scenario of $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$

In the present work, we assign the newly observed $P_c(4312)$ as a $I(J^P)= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2})^-$ molecular state composed of $Σ_c \bar{D}$, while $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ as $Σ_c \bar{D}^\ast$ molecular states with $I(J^P)= \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2})^-$ and $\frac{1}{2} (\frac{3}{2})^-$, respectively. In this molecular scenario, we investigate the $P_c\to J/ψp$ process of these three states and further predict the ratios of the $\mathcal B(P_c\to J/ψp)$ and those of $\mathcal B(Λ_b\to P_c K)$ between these three states, which could serve as a crucial test of the present molecular scenario.

Production of the $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ by kaon-induced reactions on a proton target

We investigate the possibility to study the charmed-strange mesons $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ by kaon-induced reactions on a proton target in an effective Lagrangian approach. The production process is described by the $t$-channel $D^{0}$ and $D^{*0}$ exchanges, respectively. Our theoretical approach is based on the chiral unitary theory where the $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ resonances are dynamically generated. Within the coupling constants of the $D_{s0}(2317)$ to $KD$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ to $KD^{*}$ channels obtained from the chiral unitary theory, the total and differential cross sections of the $K^{-}p\to{}Λ_cD_{s0}(2317)$ and $K^{-}p\to{}Λ_cD_{s1}(2460)$ are evaluated. The $\bar{K}p$ initial state interaction mediated by Pomeron and Reggeon exchanges is also included, which reduces the production cross sections of the $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$. If measured in future experiments, the predicted total cross sections and specific features of the angular distributions can be used to test the (molecular) nature of the $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$.

Flavor-dependent EMC effect from a nucleon swelling model

We present our results for a flavor-dependent EMC effect based on the nIMParton nuclear PDFs, in which the $x$-dependence is described with a nucleon swelling model. The nuclear correction from nucleon swelling is considered through a modification of the initial valence quark distributions instead of a dynamical rescaling. To probe the flavor-dependence of the model, the experimental observables are calculated applying nIMParton nuclear modifications for various experiments: parity-violating deep inelastic scattering on nuclear target, pion-induced Drell-Yan, and W-boson production in proton-nucleus collisions. In addition, we present the expected effect for the spectator-tagged deep inelastic scattering process, which will be performed by the CLAS12 collaboration with the ALERT detector.

Strong decays of the $Ξ_b(6227)$ as a $Σ_b\bar{K}$ molecule

We study the strong decays of the newly observed $Ξ_b(6227)$ assuming that it is a pure $Σ_b\bar{K}$ molecular state. Considering four possible spin-parity assingments $J^P=1/2^{\pm}$ and $3/2^{\pm}$, the partial decay widths of the $Σ_b\bar{K}$ molecular state into $Λ_b\bar{K}$, $Ξ_bπ$, and $Ξ_b^{'}π$ final states through hadronic loops are evaluated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. In comparison with the LHCb data, the spin-party $1/2^-$ assignment is preferred while those of $J^P=1/2^{+}$ and $J^P=3/2^{\pm}$ are disfavored. In addition, we show that the two allowed decay modes $Λ_b\bar{K}$ and $Ξ_bπ$ of the $Ξ_b(6227)$, being a $S$-wave $Σ_b\bar{K}$ molecular state, have almost equal branching ratios, consistent with the data.

$Ξ$(2030) and $Ξ$(2120) as $\bar{K}^*Σ$ molecular states

In this work, the molecular states from the \bar{K}^{*}Σinteraction are studied in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach with the one-boson-exchange potentials. We consider the exchanges of vector (ρ,ωand ϕ) mesons and pseudoscalar (πand η) mesons to describe the \bar{K}^{*}Σinteraction with the coupling constants determined by the SU(3) symmetry, The poles of the scattering amplitude are searched for to find the molecular states dynamically generated from the \bar{K}^{*}Σinteraction. A bound state with quantum number I(J^{p})=1/2(5/2^{+}) is produced, which can be associated to the Ξ(2030) baryon. Other bound states with J\le{}5/2 are also searched for and it is found that there exist bound states with quantum numbers I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^-), 1/2(3/2^{-}), and 1/2(3/2^+). The Ξ(2120) may be a candidate for one of these three bound states. In addition, we also find two bound states with isospin 3/2 and spin parities 1/2^- and 1/2^+.

Strong decay modes $\bar{K}Ξ$ and $\bar{K}Ξπ$ of the $Ω(2012)$ in the $\bar{K}Ξ(1530)$ and $ηΩ$ molecular scenario

In addition we also calculate its $KπΞ$ three-body decay mode. It is shown that the so-obtained total decay width is in fair agreement with the experimental data. We compare our results with those of other recent studies and highlight differences among them.

Strong and radiative decays of DΞmolecular state and newly observed $Ω_c$ states

In this work, we study strong and radiative decays of S-wave DΞmolecular state, which is related to the Ω^*_c states newly observed at LHCb. The coupling between the DΞmolecular state and its constituents D and Ξis calculated by using the compositeness condition. With the obtained coupling, the partial decay widths of the DΞmolecular state into the Ξ_c^{+}K^{-}, Ξ^{'+}_cK^{-} and Ω^{*}_c(2695)γfinal states through hadronic loop are calculated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. By comparison with the LHCb observation, the current results of total decay width support the Ω^{*}_c(3119) or Ω^{*}_c(3050) as DΞmolecule while the the decay width of the Ω^{*}_c(3000), Ω^{*}_c(3066) and Ω^{*}_c(3090) can not be well reproduced in the molecular state picture. The partial decay widths are also presented and helpful to further understand the internal structures of Ω^{*}_c(3119) and Ω^{*}_c(3050).
