Probing new types of $P_c$ states inspired by the interaction between an $S$-wave charmed baryon and an anticharmed meson in a $\bar T$ doublet state

Inspired by the observations of three $P_c$ states, we systematically investigate interactions between an $S$-wave charmed baryon $\mathcal{B}_{c}^{(*)}=Λ_c/Σ_c/Σ_c^{*}$ and an anticharmed meson $\bar T=\bar D_1/\bar D_2^*$ with the one-pion-exchange potential model and the one-boson-exchange potential model, and search for possible new types of $P_c$ states with the structures of $\mathcal{B}_{c}^{(*)}\bar T$. Both $S$-$D$ wave mixing and coupled channel effects are considered. Our results suggest that in some $\mathcal{B}_{c}^{(*)}\bar T$ systems there are ideal candidates of new types of $P_c$ states, i.e., the $Σ_c\bar{D}_1$ state with $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^+)$, the $Σ_c\bar{D}_2^*$ state with $I(J^P)=1/2(3/2^+)$, the $Σ_c^*\bar{D}_1$ state with $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^+)$, and the $Σ_c^*\bar{D}_2^*$ states with $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^+, 3/2^+)$, and we suggest that these predicted new types of $P_c$ states can be detected in the process $Λ_b^0 \to ψ(2S) p π^{-}$. Meanwhile, we also extend our study to the interactions between an $S$-wave charmed baryon and a charmed meson in a $T$ doublet, and we predict a series of double-charm molecular pentaquarks.

Interactions between two heavy mesons within heavy meson chiral effective field theory

We have studied the interactions between two heavy mesons ($D^{(*)}$-$D^{(*)}$, $\bar D^{(*)}$-$\bar D^{(*)}$, $B^{(*)}$-$B^{(*)}$, or $\bar B^{(*)}$-$\bar B^{(*)}$) within heavy meson chiral effective field theory and investigated possible molecular states. The effective potentials are obtained with Weinberg's scheme up to one-loop level. At the leading order, four body contact interactions and one pion exchange contributions are considered. In addition to two pion exchange diagrams, we include the one-loop chiral corrections to contact terms and one pion exchange diagrams at the next-to-leading order. The effective potentials both in momentum space and coordinate space are investigated and discussed extensively. The possible molecular states are also studied and the binding energies are provided by solving the Schrodinger equation. The results will be helpful for the experimental search for the doubly-heavy molecular states.

Exotic pentaquark states with the $qqQQ\bar{Q}$ configuration

In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction model, we have systematically calculated the mass splittings for the S-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the configuration $qqQQ\bar{Q}$ $(Q=c,b;q=u,d,s)$. Their masses are estimated and their stabilities are discussed according to possible rearrangement decay patterns. Our results indicate that there may exist several stable or narrow such states. We hope the present study can help experimentalists to search for exotic pentaquarks.

Possible triple-charm molecular pentaquarks from $Ξ_{cc}D_1/Ξ_{cc}D_2^*$ interactions

In this work, we explore a systematic investigation on $S$-wave interactions between a doubly charmed baryon $Ξ_{cc}(3621)$ and a charmed meson in a $T$ doublet $(D_1,\,D_2^*)$. We first analyze the possibility for forming $Ξ_{cc}D_1/Ξ_{cc}D_2^*$ bound states with the heavy quark spin symmetry. Then, we further perform a dynamical study on the $Ξ_{cc}D_1/Ξ_{cc}D_2^*$ interactions within a one-boson-exchange model by considering both the $S$-$D$ wave mixing and coupled channel effect. Finally, our numerical results conform the proposals from the heavy quark spin symmetry analysis: the $Ξ_{cc}D_1$ systems with $I(J^P)=$ $0(1/2^+,\,3/2^+)$ and the $Ξ_{cc}D_2^*$ systems with $I(J^P)=$ $0(3/2^+,\,5/2^+)$ can possibly be loose triple-charm molecular pentaquarks. Meanwhile, we also extend our model to the $Ξ_{cc}\bar{D}_1$ and $Ξ_{cc}\bar D_2^*$ systems, and our results indicate the isoscalars of $Ξ_{cc}\bar{D}_1$ and $Ξ_{cc}\bar{D}_2^*$ can be possible molecular candidates.

Study of Unflavored Light Mesons with $J^{PC}=2^{--}$

The unflavored light meson families, namely $ω_2$, $ρ_2$, and $ϕ_2$, are studied systematically by investigating the spectrum and the two-body strong decays allowed by Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka rule. Including the four experimentally observed states and other predicted states, phenomenological analysis of the partial decay widths can verify the corresponding assignments of these states into the families. Moreover, we provide typical branching ratios of the dominant decay channels, especially for missing ground states, which is helpful to search for or confirm them and explore more properties of these families at experiment.

$\bar{B}^{(\ast)} \bar{B}^{(\ast)}$ interactions in chiral effective field theory

In this work, the intermeson interactions of double-beauty $\bar{B}\bar{B}$, $\bar{B}\bar{B}^\ast$, and $\bar{B}^\ast\bar{B}^\ast$ systems have been studied with heavy meson chiral effective field theory. The effective potentials are calculated with Weinberg's scheme up to one-loop level. At the leading order, four body contact interactions and one pion exchange contributions are considered. In addition to two pion exchange diagrams, we include the one-loop chiral corrections to contact terms and one pion exchange diagrams at the next-to-leading order. The behaviours of effective potentials both in momentum space and coordinate space are investigated and discussed extensively. We notice the contact terms play important roles in determining the characteristics of the total potentials. Only the potentials in $I(J^P)=0(1^+)$ $\bar{B}\bar{B}^\ast$ and $\bar{B}^\ast\bar{B}^\ast$ systems are attractive, and the corresponding binding energies in these two channels are solved to be $ΔE_{\bar{B}\bar{B}^\ast}\simeq -12.6^{+9.2}_{-12.9}$ MeV and $ΔE_{\bar{B}^\ast\bar{B}^\ast}\simeq -23.8^{+16.3}_{-21.5}$ MeV, respectively. The masses of $0(1^+)$ $\bar{B}\bar{B}^\ast$ and $\bar{B}^\ast\bar{B}^\ast$ states lie above the threshold of their electromagnetic decay modes $\bar{B}\bar{B}γ$ and $\bar{B}\bar{B}γγ$, and thus they can be reconstructable via electromagnetic interactions. Our calculation not only provides some useful information to explore exotic doubly-bottomed molecular states for future experiments, but also is helpful for the extrapolations of Lattice QCD simulations.

Magnetic moments of the spin-${3\over 2}$ singly heavy baryons

We calculate the magnetic moments of spin-$3\over 2$ singly charmed baryons in the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). The analytical expressions are given up to $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$. The heavy quark symmetry is used to reduce the number of low energy constants (LECs). With the lattice QCD simulation data as the magnetic moments of the charmed baryons, the numerical results are given up to $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$ in three scenarios. In the first scenario, we use the results in the quark model as the leading order input. In the second scenario, we use the heavy quark symmetry and neglect the contribution of heavy quark. In the third scenario, the heavy quark contribution is considered on the basis of the scenario II and the magnetic moments of singly bottom baryons are given as a by-product.

Magnetic moments of the spin-$1\over 2$ singly charmed baryons in chiral perturbation theory

We systematically derive the analytical expressions of the magnetic moments of the spin-$1\over 2$ singly charmed baryons to the next-to-next-to-leading order in the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). We discuss the analytical relations between the magnetic moments. We estimate the-low energy constants (LECs) in two scenarios. In the first scenario, we use the quark model and Lattice QCD simulation results as input. In the second scenario, the heavy quark symmetry is adopted to reduce the number of the independent LECs, which are then fitted using the data from the Lattice QCD simulations. We give the numerical results to the next-to-leading order for the antitriplet charmed baryons and to the next-to-next-to-leading order for the sextet states.

Magnetic moments of the spin-${3\over 2}$ doubly heavy baryons

In this work, we investigate the chiral corrections to the magnetic moments of the spin-$3\over 2$ doubly charmed baryons systematically up to next-to-next-to-leading order with the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory.

Nucleon Excited States from Lattice QCD and Hamiltonian Effective Field Theory

An approach for relating the nucleon excited states extracted from lattice QCD and the nucleon resonances of experimental data has been developed using the Hamiltonian effective field theory (HEFT) method. By formulating HEFT in the finite volume of the lattice, the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian model can be related to the energy eigenstates observed in Lattice simulations. By taking the infinite-volume limit of HEFT, information from the lattice is linked to experiment. The approach opens a new window for the study of experimentally-observed resonances from the first principles of lattice QCD calculations. With the Hamiltonian approach, one not only describes the spectra of lattice-QCD eigenstates through the eigenvalues of the finite-volume Hamiltonian matrix, but one also learns the composition of the lattice-QCD eigenstates via the eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian matrix. One learns the composition of the states in terms of the meson-baryon basis states considered in formulating the effective field theory. One also learns the composition of the resonances observed in Nature. In this paper, we will focus on recent breakthroughs in our understanding of the structure of the $N^*(1535)$, $N^*(1440)$ and $Λ^*(1405)$ resonances using this method.

Radiative decays of the doubly charmed baryons in chiral perturbation theory

We have systematically investigated the spin-$\frac{3}{2}$ to spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ doubly charmed baryon transition magnetic moments to the next-to-next-to-leading order in the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). Numerical results of transition magnetic moments and decay widths are presented to the next-to-leading order: $μ_{Ξ_{cc}^{*++}\rightarrowΞ_{cc}^{++}}=-2.35μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ξ_{cc}^{*+}\rightarrowΞ_{cc}^{+}}=1.55μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ω_{cc}^{*+}\rightarrowΩ_{cc}^{+}}=1.54μ_{N}$, $Γ_{Ξ_{cc}^{*++}\rightarrowΞ_{cc}^{++}}=22.0$ keV, $Γ_{Ξ_{cc}^{*+}\rightarrowΞ_{cc}^{+}}=9.57$ keV, $Γ_{Ω_{cc}^{*+}\rightarrowΩ_{cc}^{+}}=9.45$ keV.

Phase shift formulas for baryon-baryon scattering in elongated boxes

We have established the relations between the baryon-baryon scattering phase shifts and the two-particle energy spectrum in the elongated box. We have studied the cases with both the periodic boundary condition and twisted boundary condition in the center of mass frame. The framework is also extended to the system of nonzero total momentum with periodic boundary condition in the moving frame. This will be helpful to extract the phase shifts in the continuum from lattice QCD data using asymmetric volumes.

Magnetic moments of the doubly charmed and bottomed baryons

The chiral corrections to the magnetic moments of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ doubly charmed baryons are systematically investigated up to next-to-next-to-leading order with heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). The numerical results are calculated up to next-to-leading order: $μ_{Ξ^{++}_{cc}}=-0.25μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ξ^{+}_{cc}}=0.85μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ω^{+}_{cc}}=0.78μ_{N}$. We also calculate the magnetic moments of the other doubly heavy baryons, including the doubly bottomed baryons (bbq) and the doubly heavy baryons containing a light quark, a charm quark and a bottom quark ($\{bc\}q$ and $[bc]q$): $μ_{Ξ^{0}_{bb}}=-0.84μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ξ^{-}_{bb}}=0.26μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ω^{-}_{bb}}=0.19μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ξ^{+}_{\{bc\}q}}=-0.54μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ξ^{0}_{\{bc\}q}}=0.56μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ω^{0}_{\{bc\}q}}=0.49μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ξ^{+}_{[bc]q}}=0.69μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ξ^{0}_{[bc]q}}=-0.59μ_{N}$, $μ_{Ω^{0}_{[bc]q}}=0.24μ_{N}$.

Decuplet to octet baryon transitions in chiral perturbation theory

We have systematically investigated the decuplet (T) to octet (B) baryon ($T\rightarrow Bγ$) transition magnetic moments to the next-to-next-to-leading order and electric quadruple moments to the next-to-leading order in the framework of the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory. Our calculation includes the contributions from both the intermediate decuplet and octet baryon states in the loops. Our results show reasonably good convergence of the chiral expansion and agreement with the experimental data. The analytical expressions may be useful to the chiral extrapolation of the lattice simulations of the decuplet electromagnetic properties.

Spectroscopy with Local Multi-hadron Interpolators in Lattice QCD

The positive-parity nucleon spectrum is studied in 2 + 1 flavour lattice QCD in an attempt to discover novel low-lying energy eigenstates in the region of the Roper resonance. In this work, we employ standard three-quark interpolating fields and introduce new local five-quark meson-baryon operators that hold the possibility of revealing new states that have been missed in previous studies. Motivated by phenomenological arguments, five-quark interpolators based on the $σ{N}$, $π{N}$ and $a_0{N}$ channels are constructed. Despite the introduction of qualitatively different operators, no novel energy levels are extracted near the regime of the Roper resonance.

Hamiltonian effective field theory study of the $\mathbf{N^*(1440)}$ resonance in lattice QCD

We examine the phase shifts and inelasticities associated with the $N^*(1440)$ Roper resonance and connect these infinite-volume observables to the finite-volume spectrum of lattice QCD using Hamiltonian effective field theory. We explore three hypotheses for the structure of the Roper resonance. All three hypotheses are able to describe the scattering data well. In the third hypothesis the Roper resonance couples the low-lying bare basis-state component associated with the ground state nucleon with the virtual meson-baryon contributions. Here the non-trivial superpositions of the meson-baryon scattering states are complemented by bare basis-state components explaining their observation in contemporary lattice QCD calculations. The merit of this scenario lies in its ability to not only describe the observed nucleon energy levels in large-volume lattice QCD simulations but also explain why other low-lying states have been missed in today's lattice QCD results for the nucleon spectrum.

Study of Low-Lying Baryons with Hamiltonian Effective Field Theory

Drawing on experimental data for baryon resonances, Hamiltonian effective field theory (HEFT) is used to predict the positions of the finite-volume energy levels to be observed in lattice QCD simulations. We have studied the low-lying baryons $N^*(1535)$, $N^*(1440)$, and $Λ(1405)$. In the initial analysis, the phenomenological parameters of the Hamiltonian model are constrained by experiment and the finite-volume eigenstate energies are a prediction of the model. The agreement between HEFT predictions and lattice QCD results obtained at finite volume is excellent. These lattice results also admit a more conventional analysis where the low-energy coefficients are constrained by lattice QCD results, enabling a determination of resonance properties from lattice QCD itself. The role and importance of various components of the Hamiltonian model are examined in the finite volume. The analysis of the lattice QCD data can help us to undertand the structure of these states better.

Structure of the $\mathbf{Λ(1405)}$ from Hamiltonian effective field theory

The pole structure of the $Λ(1405)$ is examined by fitting the couplings of an underlying Hamiltonian effective field theory to cross sections of $K^- p$ scattering in the infinite-volume limit. Finite-volume spectra are then obtained from the theory, and compared to lattice QCD results for the mass of the $Λ(1405)$. Momentum-dependent, non-separable potentials motivated by the well-known Weinberg-Tomozawa terms are used, with SU(3) flavour symmetry broken in the couplings and masses. In addition, we examine the effect on the behaviour of the spectra from the inclusion of a bare triquark-like isospin-zero basis state. It is found that the cross sections are consistent with the experimental data with two complex poles for the $Λ(1405)$, regardless of whether a bare baryon basis state is introduced or not. However, it is apparent that the bare baryon is important for describing the results of lattice QCD at high pion masses.
