Scalar Glueball, Scalar Quarkonia, and their Mixing

چکیده
The isosinglet scalar mesons f0(1710), f0(1500), f0(1370) and their mixing are studied. We employ two recent lattice results as the starting point; one is the isovector scalar meson a0(1450) which displays an unusual property of being nearly independent of quark mass for quark masses smaller than that of the strange, and the other is the scalar glueball mass at 1710 MeV in the quenched approximation. In the SU(3) symmetry limit, f0(1500) turns out to be a pure SU(3) octet and is degenerate with a0(1450), while f0(1370) is mainly an SU(3) singlet with a slight mixing with the scalar glueball which is the primary component of f0(1710). These features remain essentially unchanged even when SU(3) breaking is taken into account. We discuss the sources of SU(3) breaking and their consequences on flavor-dependent decays of these mesons. The observed enhancement of ωf0(1710) production over φf0(1710) in hadronic J/ψ decays and the copious f0(1710) production in radiative J/ψ decays lend further support to the prominent glueball nature of f0(1710).

A covariant constituent quark/gluon model for the glueball-quarkonia content of scalar-isoscalar mesons
We analyze the mixing of the scalar glueball with the scalar-isoscalar quarkonia states above 1 GeV in a non-local covariant constituent approach. Similarities and differences to the point-particle Klein-Gordon limit and to the quantum mechanical case are elaborated. Model predictions for the twophoton decay rates in the covariant mixing scheme are indicated.
متن کاملScalar nonet quarkonia and the scalar glueball: mixing and decays in an effective chiral approach
We study the strong and electromagnetic decay properties of scalar mesons above 1 GeV within a chiral approach. The scalar-isoscalar states are treated as mixed states of quarkonia and glueball configurations. A fit to the experimental mass and decay rates listed by the Particle Data group is performed to extract phenomenological constraints on the nature of the scalar resonances and to the iss...
متن کاملMixing of scalar tetraquark and quarkonia states in a chiral approach
A chiral invariant Lagrangian describing the tetraquark-quarkonia interaction is considered at the leading and subleading order in the large-Nc expansion. Spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking generates mixing of scalar tetraquark and quarkonia states and non-vanishing tetraquark condensates. In particular, the mixing strength is related to the decay strengths of tetraquark states into pseudosca...
متن کاملScalar Mesons in a Chiral Quark Model with Glueball
Ground-state scalar isoscalar mesons and a scalar glueball are described in a U(3)×U(3) chiral quark model of the Nambu–Jona-Lasinio (NJL) type with ’t Hooft interaction. The latter interaction produces singlet-octet mixing in the scalar and pseudoscalar sectors. The glueball is introduced into the effective meson Lagrangian as a dilaton on the base of scale invariance. The mixing of the glueba...

The isosinglet scalar mesons f0(1710), f0(1500), f0(1370) and their mixing are studied. Two recent lattice results are employed as the starting point; one is the approximate SU(3) symmetry in the scalar sector above 1 GeV for the connected insertion part without qq̄ annihilation, and the other is the scalar glueball mass at 1710 MeV in the quenched approximation.
