Insight into the Scalar Mesons from a Lattice Calculation

چکیده

We study the possibility that the light scalar mesons are q̄q states rather than q̄q. We perform a lattice QCD calculation of pseudoscalar meson scattering amplitudes, ignoring quark loops and quark annihilation, and find indications that for sufficiently heavy quarks there is a stable four-quark bound state with J = 0 and non-exotic flavor quantum numbers.

Scalar Mesons as q̄2q2? Insight from the Lattice

I describe some insight obtained from a lattice calculation on the possibility that the light scalar mesons are q̄2q2 states rather than q̄q. First I review some general features of q̄2q2 states in QCD inspired quark models. Then I describe a lattice QCD calculation of pseudoscalar meson scattering amplitudes, ignoring quark loops and quark annihilation, which finds indications that for sufficient...

Challenges of Lattice Calculation of Scalar Mesons

I review a proposed pattern of the light scalar mesons with qq̄ mesons and glueball above 1 GeV and terraquark mesoniums below 1 GeV. Several challenges and caveats of calculating these light scalar mesons with dynamical fermions are discussed.

Glueball matrix elements: a lattice calculation and applications

We compute the matrix elements of the energy-momentum tensor between glueball states and the vacuum in SU(3) lattice gauge theory and extrapolate them to the continuum. These matrix elements may play an important phenomenological role in identifying glue-rich mesons. Based on a relation derived long ago by the ITEP group for J/ψ radiative decays, the scalar matrix element leads to a branching r...

Magnetic moments and electromagnetic radii of nucleon and ∆(1232) in an extended GBE model

We derive the exchange currents of pseudoscalar, vector, and scalar mesons from Feynman diagrams, and use them to calculate the magnetic form factors of nucleon and ∆(1232). The magnetic moments and electromagnetic radii are obtained by using those form factors and the parameters determined from the masses of nucleon and ∆(1232). We find the magnetic moments and electromagnetic radii of nucleon...

Properties of light scalar mesons from lattice QCD . UKQCD Collaboration

Lattice QCD with N f = 2 flavours of sea quark is used to explore the spectrum and decay of scalar mesons. We find evidence that the lightest non-singlet scalar meson (a 0) has a mass of 1.01(4) GeV. We determine from the lattice the coupling strength to KK and πη. We compute the leptonic decay constant of the lightest non-singlet scalar meson. We discuss the impact of these lattice results on ...
