The Phase Transition and Crystallization of SM Higgs Boson On a Singular Solution in Higgs Field (Ⅲ) - The Phase Transition and Crystallization of SM Higgs Boson. Kazuyoshi KITAZAWA, Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. FAX: 03-6253-4244, E-mail: [email protected] The phase transition and crystallization of SM Higgs boson are discussed by considering a naïve relativistic energy equation with Cornell potential and then Bethe-Salpeter equation (BS) with Goldstein approximation for tightly bound fermion (t) -antifermion (t_bar) coupling which exchanges with vector particle. We consider that the well known continuous spectrum solution of BS should not be excluded but be interpreted as it closely relates to propagator of the exchanged gluon. Then SM Higgs boson will be constructed from a number of mesons each of which is composed of two gluons (glueball), after emitting a virtual photon. A 2 glueball mass value calculated of grand state is around at 502.55 MeV/c which is expected as f0(600) (σ meson) mass. Moreover the mass values of its resonant states are consistent with the known result of lattice simulation and within upper-f0 mesons’ masses from experiment. And we predict that they finally crystallize into certain fullerene structures, as SM Higgs boson, through their color ‘valence’ of components. So the phase transition of SM Higgs boson is completed to transit to a state of truncated-Octahedron (tr-O) structure by receiving ‘melting heat' from another SM Higgs boson before crystallization near itself. １．Introduction 22 V M0 c M2 c , (2) In preceding paper 1) the author discussed the mass and the t. boundH t photon basic structure of SM Higgs boson with reference to bound top because we will treat the situation in next subsection that total quark-pair.

    Dynamical W mass? PoS(Lattice 2010)246 Bernd A. Berg∗ Department of Physics, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306, USA As long as a Higgs boson is not observed, the design of alternatives for electroweak symmetry breaking remains of interest. The question addressed here is whether there are possibly dynamical mechanisms, which deconfine SU(2) at zero temperature and generate a massive vector boson triplet. Results for a model with joint local U(2) transformations of SU(2) and U(1) vector fields are presented in a limit, which does not involve any unobserved fields.

Such presentations reflect that the introduction of the Higgs particle in electroweak interactions [1] preceded our non-perturbative understanding of non-Abelian gauge theories.

    Physics Potential of a High-luminosity J= Factory Andrzej Kupsc,1, ∗ Hai-Bo Li,2, y and Stephen Lars Olsen3, z 1Uppsala University, Box 516, SE-75120 Uppsala, Sweden 2Institute of High Energy Physics, Beijing 100049, People’s Republic of China 3Institute for Basic Science, Daejeon 34126, Republic of Korea Abstract We examine the scientific opportunities offered by a dedicated “J= factory” comprising an e+e− collider equipped with a polarized e− beam and a monochromator that reduces the center-of-mass energy spread of the colliding beams. Such a facility, which would have budget implications that are similar to those of the Fermilab muon program, would produce O(1013) J= events per Snowmass year and support tests of discrete symmetries in hyperon decays and in- vestigations of QCD confinement with unprecedented precision. While the main emphasis of this study is on searches for new sources of CP -violation in hyperon decays with sensitivities that reach the Standard Model expectations, such a facility would additionally provide unique opportunities for sensitive studies of the spectroscopy and decay − properties of glueball and QCD-hybrid mesons. Polarized e beam operation with Ecm just above the 2mτ threshold would support a search for CP violation in τ − ! π−π0ν decays with unique sensitivity. Operation at the 0 peak would enable unique probes of the Dark Sector via invisible decays of the J= and other light mesons.

  • Glueball Searches Using Electron-Positron Annihilations with BESIII
    FAIRNESS2019 IOP Publishing Journal of Physics: Conference Series 1667 (2020) 012019 doi:10.1088/1742-6596/1667/1/012019 Glueball searches using electron-positron annihilations with BESIII R Kappert and J G Messchendorp, for the BESIII collaboration KVI-CART, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Using a BESIII-data sample of 1:31 × 109 J= events collected in 2009 and 2012, the glueball-sensitive decay J= ! γpp¯ is analyzed. In the past, an exciting near-threshold enhancement X(pp¯) showed up. Furthermore, the poorly-understood properties of the ηc resonance, its radiative production, and many other interesting dynamics can be studied via this decay. The high statistics provided by BESIII enables to perform a partial-wave analysis (PWA) of the reaction channel. With a PWA, the spin-parity of the possible intermediate glueball state can be determined unambiguously and more information can be gained about the dynamics of other resonances, such as the ηc. The main background contributions are from final-state radiation and from the J= ! π0(γγ)pp¯ channel. In a follow-up study, we will investigate the possibilities to further suppress the background and to use data-driven methods to control them. 1. Introduction The discovery of the Higgs boson has been a breakthrough in the understanding of the origin of mass. However, this boson only explains 1% of the total mass of baryons. The remaining 99% originates, according to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), from the self-interaction of the gluons. The nature of gluons gives rise to the formation of exotic hadronic matter.

  • The Experimental Status of Glueballs Arxiv:0812.0600V3 [Hep-Ex]
    The Experimental Status of Glueballs V. Crede 1 and C. A. Meyer 2 1 Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306 USA 2 Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 USA October 22, 2018 Abstract Glueballs and other resonances with large gluonic components are predicted as bound states by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). The lightest (scalar) glueball is estimated to have a mass in the range from 1 to 2 GeV/c2; a pseudoscalar and tensor glueball are expected at higher masses. Many different experiments exploiting a large variety of production mechanisms have presented results in recent years on light mesons with J PC = 0++, 0−+, and 2++ quantum numbers. This review looks at the experimental status of glueballs. Good evidence exists for a scalar glueball which is mixed with nearby mesons, but a full understanding is still missing. Evidence for tensor and pseudoscalar glueballs are weak at best. Theoretical expectations of phenomenological models and QCD on the lattice are briefly discussed. arXiv:0812.0600v3 [hep-ex] 2 Mar 2009 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 2 Meson Spectroscopy 3 3 Theoretical Expectations for Glueballs 6 3.1 Historical ...........................................6 3.2 Model Calculations ......................................8 3.3 Lattice Calculations ......................................9 4 Experimental Methods and Major Experiments 11 4.1 Proton-Antiproton Annihilation ............................... 11 4.2 e+e− Annihilation Experiments and Radiative Decays of Quarkonia ........... 14 4.3 Central Production ...................................... 15 4.4 Two-Photon Fusion at e+e− Colliders ........................... 18 4.5 Other Experiments ...................................... 19 5 The Known Mesons 20 5.1 The Scalar, Pseudoscalar and Tensor Mesons ....................... 20 5.2 Results from pp¯ Annihilation: The Crystal Barrel Experiment .............

[email protected] Glueballs are particles whose valence degrees of freedom are gluons and therefore in their descrip- tion the gauge field plays a dominant role. We review recent results in the physics of glueballs with the aim set on phenomenology and discuss the possibility of finding them in conventional hadronic experiments and in the Quark Gluon Plasma. In order to describe their properties we resort to a va- riety of theoretical treatments which include, lattice QCD, constituent models, AdS/QCD methods, and QCD sum rules. The review is supposed to be an informed guide to the literature. Therefore, we do not discuss in detail technical developments but refer the reader to the appropriate references. I. INTRODUCTION Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the hadronic interactions. It is an elegant theory whose full non perturbative solution has escaped our knowledge since its formulation more than 30 years ago.[1] The theory is asymptotically free[2, 3] and confining.[4] A particularly good test of our understanding of the nonperturbative aspects of QCD is to study particles where the gauge field plays a more important dynamical role than in the standard hadrons.

  • Exotic Quarks in Twin Higgs Models

In the low energy theory, the only probe comes from the mixing of the Higgs fields in the standard model and twin sectors. However, an ultraviolet completion is required below ∼ 10 TeV to remove residual logarithmic divergences. In non-supersymmetric completions, new exotic fermions charged under both the standard model and twin gauge symmetries have to be present to accompany the top quark, thus providing a high energy probe of the model. Some of them carry standard model color, and may therefore be copiously produced at current or future hadron colliders. Once produced, these exotic quarks can decay into a top together with twin sector particles. If the twin sector particles escape the detection, we have the irreducible stop-like signals. On the other hand, some twin sector particles may decay back into the standard model particles with long lifetimes, giving spectacular displaced vertex signals in combination with the prompt top quarks.

  • A Study of Mesons and Glueballs
    A Study of Mesons and Glueballs Tapashi Das Department of Physics Gauhati University This thesis is submitted to Gauhati University as requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Science July 2017 Scanned by CamScanner Scanned by CamScanner Scanned by CamScanner Scanned by CamScanner Abstract The main work of the thesis is devoted to the study of heavy flavored mesons using a QCD potential model. Chapter 1 deals with the brief introduction of the theory of Quantum Chro- modynamics (QCD), potential models and the use of perturbation theory. In Chapter 2, the improved potential model is introduced and the solution of the non-relativistic Schro¨dinger’s equation for a Coulomb-plus-linear potential, V(r) = 4αs + br + c, Cornell potential has − 3r been conducted. The first-order wave functions are obtained using Dalgarno’s method. We explicitly consider two quantum mechanical aspects in our improved model: (a) the scale factor ‘c’ in the potential should not affect the wave function of the system even while applying the perturbation theory and (b) the choice of perturbative piece of the Hamiltonian (confinement or linear) should determine the effective radial separation between the quarks and antiquarks. Therefore for the validation of the quantum mechanical idea, the constant factor ‘c’ is considered to be zero and a cut-off rP is obtained from the theory. The model is then tested to calculate the masses, form factors, charge radii, RMS radii of mesons. In Chapter 3, the Isgur-Wise function and its derivatives of semileptonic decays of heavy-light mesons in both HQET limit (m ∞) and finite mass limit are calculated.

  • Glueballs, Hybrids, Multiquarks Experimental Facts Versus QCD Inspired Concepts

Weise Abstract Glueballs, hybrids and multiquark states are predicted as bound states in models guided by quantum chromo dynamics (QCD), by QCD sum rules or QCD on a lattice. Estimates for the (scalar) glueball ground state are in the mass range from 1000 to 1800 MeV, followed by a tensor and a pseudoscalar glueball at higher mass. Experiments have reported evidence for an abundance of meson resonances with 0−+, 0++ and 2++ quantum numbers. In particular, the sector of scalar mesons is full of surprises starting from the elusive ! and " mesons. The a0(980) and f0(980), discussed extensively in the literature, are reviewed with emphasis on their Janus-like appearance as KK molecules, tetraquark states or qq mesons. Most exciting is the possibility that the three mesons ¯ ¯ f0(1370), f0(1500), and f0(1710) might reflect the appearance of a scalar glueball in the world of quarkonia. However, the existence of f0(1370) is not beyond doubt and there is evidence that both f0(1500) and f0(1710) are flavour octet states, possibly in a tetraquark composition. We suggest a scheme in which the scalar glueball is dissolved into the wide background into which all scalar flavour-singlet mesons collapse.

  • The Phenomenology of Glueball and Hybrid Mesons
    THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF GLUEBALL AND HYBRID MESONS Stephen Godfrey Department of Physics, Carleton University, Ottawa K1S 5B6 CANADA DESY, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, D22603 Hamburg, GERMANY Abstract The existence of non-qq¯ hadrons such as glueballs and hybrids is one of the most important qualitative questions in QCD. The COMPASS experiment of- fers the possibility to unambiguously identify such states and map out the glue- ball and hybrid spectrum. In this review I discuss the expected properties of glueballs and hybrids and how they might be produced and studied by the COMPASS Collaboration. 1. INTRODUCTION A fundamental qualitative question in the Standard Model is the understanding of quark and gluon con- finement in Quantum Chromodynamics. Meson spectroscopy offers the ideal laboratory to understand this question which is intimately related to the question of “How does glue manifest itself in the soft QCD regime?” 1 Models of hadron structure predict new forms of hadronic matter with explicit glue degrees of freedom: Glueballs and Hybrids. The former is a type of hadron with no valence quark content, only glue, while the latter has quarks and antiquarks with an excited gluonic degree of freedom. In addition, multiquark states are also expected. With all these ingredients, the physical spectrum is expected to be very complicated. Over the last decade there has been considerable theoretical progress in calculating hadron proper- ties from first principles using Lattice QCD [2,3]. This approach gives a good description of the observed spectrum of heavy quarkonium and supports the potential model description, at least for the case of heavy quarkonium.

The glueball is identified as the 11D gravitational waves or Received in revised form 10 July 2017 graviton described by the M5-brane supergravity solution. Employing the relation of M-theory and type Accepted 10 August 2017 IIA string theory, glueball is also 10D gravitational perturbations which are the excited modes by close Available online 18 August 2017 strings in the bulk of this model. On the other hand, baryon is identified as a D4-brane wrapped Editor: M. Cveticˇ 4 on S which is named as baryon vertex, so the glueball–baryon interaction is nothing but the close string/baryon vertex interaction in this model. Since the baryon vertex could be equivalently treated as the instanton configurations on the flavor brane, we identify the glueball–baryon interaction as “graviton– instanton” interaction in order to describe it quantitatively by the quantum mechanical system for the collective modes of baryons. So the effective Hamiltonian can be obtained by considering the gravitational perturbations in the flavor brane action. With this Hamiltonian, the amplitudes and the selection rules of the glueball–baryon interaction can be analytically calculated in the strong coupling limit.
