First Exotic Hadron with Open Heavy Flavor: Csu¯D¯ Tetraquark PHYSICAL REVIEW D 102, 094016 (2020) First exotic hadron with open heavy flavor: csu¯ d¯ tetraquark † Marek Karliner 1,* and Jonathan L.

Ellis Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60637, USA (Received 23 August 2020; accepted 22 October 2020; published 16 November 2020) The LHCb Collaboration has reported resonant activity in the channel DþK−, identifying two P þ P components: X0ð2900Þ with J ¼ 0 at 2866 Æ 7 MeV, Γ0 ¼ 57 Æ 13 MeV and X1ð2900Þ with J ¼ − ¯ 1 at 2904 Æ 7 MeV, Γ1 ¼ 110 Æ 12 MeV.

  • The Five Common Particles
    The Five Common Particles The world around you consists of only three particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons form the nuclei of atoms, and electrons glue everything together and create chemicals and materials. Along with the photon and the neutrino, these particles are essentially the only ones that exist in our solar system, because all the other subatomic particles have half-lives of typically 10-9 second or less, and vanish almost the instant they are created by nuclear reactions in the Sun, etc. Particles interact via the four fundamental forces of nature. Some basic properties of these forces are summarized below. (Other aspects of the fundamental forces are also discussed in the Summary of Particle Physics document on this web site.)

The model parameters are well determined by our previous study of the strangeonium spectrum.

Among the many phenomenological models, it seems that only the diquark-antidiquark model in its type-II version can accomodate in a unified description the puzzling spectrum of the exotics [2]. Although diquark- antidiquark model has success in describing the observed exotic spectrum, it also predicts a number of unobserved exotic partners.

C18-10-22. 1 Introduction The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) [1,2,3,4] is a proposed future linear e+e− collider based on a novel two-beam accelerator scheme [5], which in recent years has reached several milestones and established the feasibility of accelerating structures necessary for a new large scale accelerator facility (see e.g. [6]). The project is foreseen to be carried out in stages which aim at precision studies of Standard Model particles such as the Higgs boson and the top quark and allow the exploration of new physics at the high energy frontier. The detailed staging of the project is presented in Ref. [7,8], where plans for the target luminosities at each energy are outlined. These targets can be adjusted easily in case of discoveries at the Large Hadron Collider or at earlier CLIC stages. In fact the collision energy, up to 3 TeV, can be set by a suitable choice of the length of the accelerator and the duration of the data taking can also be adjusted to follow hints that the LHC may provide in the years to come.

Here, we review the possible nontrivial role of strong interactions in cosmological effects of new physics. In the case of ordinary QCD interaction, the existence of new stable colored particles such as new stable quarks leads to new exotic forms of matter, some of which can be candidates for dark matter. New QCD-like strong interactions lead to new stable composite candidates bound by QCD-like confinement. We put special emphasis on the effects of interaction between new stable hadrons and ordinary matter, formation of anomalous forms of cosmic rays and exotic forms of matter, like stable fractionally charged particles. The possible correlation of these effects with high energy neutrino and cosmic ray signatures opens the way to study new physics of strong interactions by its indirect multi-messenger astrophysical probes.

The chiral quark model is a theory which can be used to describe low energy phenomena of baryons. In Paper 1, the chiral quark model is studied using wave functions with configuration mixing. This study is motivated by the fact that the chiral quark model cannot otherwise break the Coleman–Glashow sum-rule for the magnetic moments of the octet baryons, which is experimentally broken by about ten standard deviations. Configuration mixing with quark-diquark components is also able to reproduce the octet baryon magnetic moments very accurately. In Paper 2, the chiral quark model is used to calculate the decuplet baryon ++ magnetic moments. The values for the magnetic moments of the ∆ and Ω− are in good agreement with the experimental results.

A narrow structure around 6:9 GeV/c2 matching the lineshape of a resonance and a broad structure just above twice the J= mass are observed. The deviation of the data from nonresonant J= -pair production is above five standard deviations in the mass region between 6:2 and 7:4 GeV/c2, covering predicted masses of states composed of four charm quarks. The mass and natural width of the narrow X(6900) structure are measured assuming a Breit{Wigner lineshape. Submitted to Science Bulletin c 2020 CERN for the benefit of the LHCb collaboration.

According to quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the 4 theory describing the strong interaction, quarks are confined into hadrons, in agreement 5 with experimental observations. The quark model [1,2] classifies hadrons into conventional 6 mesons (qq) and baryons (qqq or qqq), and also allows for the existence of exotic hadrons 7 such as tetraquarks (qqqq) and pentaquarks (qqqqq).

We argue in this note that these exotic hadrons are genuine tetraquarks and 6490 MeV, referred to as a “threshold enhancement” in [1], not molecules of charmonia. It is conjectured that they are and also suggests the existence of another resonance centered V-baryonium , namely, have an inner structure of a baryonic at around 7240 MeV,very near to the threshold of two doubly vertex with a cc diquark attached to it, which is connected by charmed cc baryons.

Aaij et al.* (LHCb Collaboration) (Received 19 April 2016; published 18 August 2016) 0 − The data sample of Λb → J=ψpK decays acquired with the LHCb detector from 7 and 8 TeV pp collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3 fb−1, is inspected for the presence of J=ψp or J=ψK− contributions with minimal assumptions about K−p contributions. It is demonstrated at more than 0 − − nine standard deviations that Λb → J=ψpK decays cannot be described with K p contributions alone, and that J=ψp contributions play a dominant role in this incompatibility. These model-independent results þ support the previously obtained model-dependent evidence for Pc → J=ψp charmonium-pentaquark states in the same data sample.
