5.6 Baryon number

Baryon number, denoted B, is defined as the total number of baryons minus the number of an- tibaryons, similar to the definition (4.7.1) of lepton number L. Since baryons are bound states of three quarks, and antibaryons are bound states of three antiquarks, baryon number is the same as the number of quarks minus antiquarks, up to a factor of three,

B = (# baryons) (# antibaryons) = 1 (# quarks) (# antiquarks) . (5.6.1) 3 All known interactions conserve baryon number.9 High⇥ energy scattering processes⇤ can change the number of baryons, and the number of antibaryons, but not the net baryon number. For example, in proton-proton scattering, the reaction p + p p + p + n +¯n can occur, but not p + p p + p + n + n. ! !

5.7 Hadronic decays

Turning to the decays of the various hadrons listed in Tables 5.3–5.6 , it is remarkable how much can be explained using a basic understanding of the quark content of the di↵erent hadrons together with considerations of energy and momentum conservation. As an example, consider the baryons in the spin 3/2 decuplet. The rest energy of the baryons is larger than that of a nucleon by nearly 300 MeV. This is more than the 140 MeV rest energy of , which are the lightest mesons. ⇡ Consequently, a baryon can decay to a nucleon plus a via strong interactions, which do not change the number of quarks minus antiquarks of each quark flavor. (Specifically, a ++ can decay

9This is not quite true. As with lepton number, the current theory of weak interactions predicts that there are processes which can change baryon number (while conserving B L). The rate of these processes is so small that baryon number violation is (so far) completely unobservable.

9 PROTON MAGNETIC MOMENT IN QUARK MODEL

• gP is now close to 2 but this result depends on the quark mass.

• In addition, since it is known that the large portion of the proton spin is actually carried by the gluons, gluon contributions to the magnetic moment has to be considered.

• On the other hand, the quark model can predict the relation of proton and neutron/Lambda magnetic moment without quark mass dependence 2 1 µN = µp,µ⇤ = µp 3 3 gproton = 5.585694702(17) gneutron= - 3.82608545(90) glambda= - 1.226(8) which is satisfied well by the experiment.

• In any case, the proton magnetic moment is an input for various theoretical computations, it is important to measure it very precisely.

6 CHARMED BARYON MAGNETIC MOMENT

• An experimental proposal to measure charmed baryon magnetic moment by using precession induced by the VERY strong magnetic field generated by bent crystal (1000T). arXiv:1705.03382

• It will be the first direct measurement of the magnetic moment of the charmed baryon.

• Different from light baryon, spin is known to be carried mostly by the heavy quark () —> direct connection to the charm quark (anomalous) magnetic moment.

• LHCb are producing many new results on charmed baryon (e.g. discovery of doubly charged charmed baryon!) and charmed baryon spectroscopy is becoming very interesting.

Although these results are very convincing, since it is known that the proton spin is actually carried mostly by the gluons, the relation between proton magnetic moment and the quark magnetic moment might be more complex. At least, such a problem can be avoided in the case of heavy baryons: at the infinite mass limit, the heavy baryon spin is carried by the heavy quark. Nevertheless, the quark mass dependence would remain and the certain uncertainty is unavoidable. Let us first see the the magnetic moment of ⇤c in the naive quark model: e µ 2 mP µ⇤c = µc = | | = µM (12) 3mc 3 mc If we choose the charm quark mass as the ”constituent quark mass“, i.e. m = m c ⇤c 2mq(1/3 GeV) = 1.7 GeV, we find µ⇤c =0.39 n.m.. This value is higher than the value found by BESIII in Eq. (). However, if we use the constituent quark mass obtained from charmonium, e.g. from J/ , mc = mJ/ /2=1.5 GeV, we find µ⇤c =0.44 n.m.,whichis closer to the value in Eq. (). One can also derive the charm quark mass independent relation with di↵erent charmed baryons.

3.2 Magnetic moment beyond the quark model There are various models to compute the magnetic moment beyond the quark model. For example, the so-called Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory (HHCPT) is devel- oped [1, 2, 3, 4], which combine the heavy quark e↵ective theory and the chiral perturbation theory of light hadrons. It allows to improve theoretical prediction in a systematic manner. The next to leading order Lagrangian for the magnetic moment of triplet and sextet baryons have been given in [5, 6]. At the order (1/m )(m is the heavy quark mass), O Q Q we have two extra contributions. First, it is the heavy quark magnetic moment, i.e. the interaction of the photons and the heavy quark constituent inside of the hadrons, which also induces M1 transition. This term induces the contribution of the quark model. The second contribution is the photon interacting with the light brown mock inside of the heavy +,0 hadrons. However, the anti-symmetric baryons (⇤c, ⌅c ), whose light degree of freedom is spinless, do not receive any contribution from this interaction as photon can not interact with spinless component. As a result, even at this order, the quark model limit results given in the previous section hold. The lack of contributions from light degree of freedom seems to be generic and theoretical predictions using di↵erent models show that the magnetic +,0 moment of ⇤c, ⌅c is close to the one predicted by the quark model, thus the relation Eq. 13 still holds (see e.g. [11]). In [8] and [7], further corrections are discussed. The reference [8] discusses the so- called spin-symmetry breaking e↵ect, which typically induces the ⌃c⇤ ⌃c. mass splitting. ( ) It comes form a loop diagram with ⌃c⇤ and ⇡,K in the loop. This contribution leads to

• The magnetic moment is determined by measuring the Λc spin precession which is generated by the strong magnetic field by the bent crystal.

• The angular distribution of the Λc decay carries information of polarisation ξ, however, it can not be separated from the so-called asymmetry parameter α.

• Note that α is the same in any experiment but ξ has pT dependence. 1 12 g = ↵ ⇠ ! N | | s ⇤c • α and ξ can be separated if i) the subsequent decays are also weak decay ++ (Λc→Λπ→pππ) or ii) there are many resonances interferences (Λc→Δ π→pπK ⊕

Λc→K*p→pπK etc…). • Strategy: we measure α and ξ at LHCb as precise as possible. Then, we

extrapolate ξ to the desired pT value.

14 CONCLUSIONS

• Charm quark magnetic moment has never been measured directly.

• A new idea to measure the magnetic moment of charmed baryon µΛc,

using the bent-crystal is proposed (a hight precision expected). µΛc can

be translated to the magnetic moment of charm quark, µc.

• We showed that the measurement of various charmed baryon, such as Ξc

can provide important information on the charmed baryon spectroscopy. • Charmonium radiative decay can indirectly provide the charm quark

magnetic moment. Using BESIII result, we made an estimate on µΛc. We

found that the obtained value of µΛc is slightly higher than the theory predictions.

• Thus, we conclude that a few % level precision for both Λc polarisation and the radiative charmonium decays are desired. • We are currently working on LHCb measurement of polarisation and

weak parameter of Λc, which is a crucial factor for µΛc determination.
