A New Hadron Spectroscopy
Front. Phys. 10, 101401 (2015) DOI 10.1007/s11467-014-0449-6 REVIEW ARTICLE A new hadron spectroscopy Stephen Lars Olsen Center for Underground Physics, Institute of Basic Science, Daejeon 305-811, Korea E-mail: [email protected] Received August 13, 2014; accepted September 16, 2014 QCD-motivated models for hadrons predict an assortment of “exotic” hadrons that have structures that are more complex than the quark-antiquark mesons and three-quark baryons of the original quark-parton model. These include pentaquark baryons, the six-quark H-dibaryon, and tetraquark, hybrid and glueball mesons. Despite extensive experimental searches, no unambiguous candidates for any of these exotic configurations have been identified. On the other hand, a number of meson states, one that seems to be a proton-antiproton bound state, and others that contain either charmed- anticharmed quark pairs or bottom-antibottom quark pairs, have been recently discovered that neither fit into the quark-antiquark meson picture nor match the expected properties of the QCD- inspired exotics. Here I briefly review results from a recent search for the H-dibaryon, and discuss some properties of the newly discovered states –the proton-antiproton state and the so-called XYZ mesons– and compare them with expectations for conventional quark-antiquark mesons and the predicted QCD-exotic states.

Hadron and Quarkmonium Exotica

Recently the BESIII experiment has joined this search with a unique data sample collected at the different center of mass energies ranging from 3.9 GeV to 4.42 GeV in which they found new charmonium-like states with non-zero electric charge. We review the status of experimental searchs for quarkomonium-like states and also other types of non-qq¯ meson or non-qqq baryons that are predicted by QCD-motivated models. We mainly focus on results from the B-factories and BESIII. Keywords: PACS numbers: 1. Introduction Mesons and baryons are formed from color-singlet combinations of quarks. All non- qq¯ mesons and non-qqq baryons predicted by QCD-motivated models are expected arXiv:1403.1832v1 [hep-ex] 7 Mar 2014 to be in color-singlet multi-quark combinations. Color-singlet multiquark states can be formed from colored diquarks and dian- tiquarks: a pentaquark is predicted to contain two diquarks and one antiquark, the H-dibaryon contains three diquarks, and tetraquark mesons contain a diquark and diantiquark. Multiquark states can also be formed by molecules of two (or more) color-singlet qq¯ mesons and/or qqq baryons that are bound together by the exchange of virtual π σ, ω, etc. -
