Amplitude analysis of reactions pi(-)p->etapi(-)p and pi(-)p->etapi(0)n on polarized target and the exotic 1-+ meson
Recently several experimental groups analysed data on and reactions with exotic -wave and
found a conflicting evidence for an exotic meson . High
statistics data on these reactions are presently analysed by BNL E852
Collaboration. All these analyses are based on the crucial assumption that the
production amplitudes do not depend on nucleon spin. This assumption is in
sharp conflict with the results of measurements of ,
and on polarized targets at
CERN which find a strong dependence of production amplitudes on nucleon spin.
To ascertain the existence of exotic meson , it is necessary to
perform a model-independent amplitude analysis of reactions and . We demonstrate that measurements of
these reactions on transversely polarized targets enable the required model
independent amplitude analysis without the assumption that production
amplitudes are independent on nucleon spin. We suggest that high statistics
measurements of reactions and be made on polarized targets at BNL and at Protvino IHEP, and that
model-independent amplitude analyses of this polarized data be performed to
advance hadron spectroscopy on the level of spin dependent production
amplitudes.Comment: 23 page
On the Spin content of the Nucleon
A QCD sum rule calculation of Balistky and Ji on the spin content of the
nucleon is done with a different approach to the evaluation of the bilocal
contributions and to the extraction of the nucleon pole residues. The result
obtained is much more numerically stable which puts their conclusion that about
half of the nucleon spin is carried by gluons on firmer ground.Comment: 7 pages, two (eps) figure, minor corrections and one figure adde
Systematization of tensor mesons and the determination of the glueball
It is shown that new data on the -resonances in the mass
range MeV support the linearity of the -trajectories,
where is the radial quantum number of quark--antiquark state. In this way
all vacancies for the isoscalar tensor -mesons in the range up to 2450
MeV are filled in. This allows one to fix the broad -state with
MeV and MeV as the lowest tensor glueball. PACS

The two-pion spectra for the reaction \pi^- p -> \pi^0\pi^0 n at 38 GeV/c pion momentum and combined analysis of the GAMS, Crystal Barrel and BNL data
We perform the K-matrix analysis of meson partial waves with IJ^{PC}
=00^{++}, 10^{++}, 02^{++}, 12^{++} basing on GAMS data on \pi^-p -> \pi^0\pi^0
n, \eta\eta n, \eta\eta' n together with BNL data on \pi^-p -> K\bar K n and
Crystal Barrel data on p\bar p (at rest) -> \pi^0\pi^0\pi^0, \pi^0\eta\eta,
\pi^0\pi^0\eta. The positions of the amplitude poles (physical resonances) are
determined as well as the positions of the K-matrix poles (bare states) and the
values of bare state couplings to two-meson channels. Nonet classification of
the determined bare states is discussed.Comment: LaTex, 15 pages and 10 figure
Observation of exotic meson production in the reaction at 18 GeV/c
An amplitude analysis of an exclusive sample of 5765 events from the reaction
at 18 GeV/c is described. The
production is dominated by natural parity exchange and by
three partial waves: those with and . A
mass-dependent analysis of the partial-wave amplitudes indicates the production
of the meson as well as the meson, observed for the
first time decaying to . The dominant, exotic
(non- partial wave is shown to be resonant with a mass of
GeV/c^2 and a width of GeV/c^2 . This exotic state, the , is produced with a
dependence which is different from that of the meson, indicating
differences between the production mechanisms for the two states.Comment: 5 pages with 4 figure
Evidence for Exotic J^{PC}=1^{-+} Meson Production in the Reaction pi- p --> eta pi- p at 18 GeV/c
Details of the analysis of the eta pi- system studied in the reaction pi^{-}
p --> eta pi^{-} p at 18 GeV/c are given. Separate analyses for the 2 gamma and
pi+ pi- pi0 decay modes of the eta are presented. An amplitude analysis of the
data indicates the presence of interference between the a(2)(1320)- and a
J^{PC}=1^{-+} wave between 1.2 and 1.6 GeV/c^2. The phase difference between
these waves shows phase motion not attributable solely to the a(2)(1320)-. The
data can be fitted by interference between the a(2)(1320)- and an exotic 1^{-+}
resonance with M = 1370 +-16 +50 -30} MeV/c^2 and Gamma = 385 +- 40 +65 -105
MeV/c^2. Our results are compared with those of other experiments.Comment: 50 pages of text and 34 figure
Hybrid and Conventional Mesons in the Flux Tube Model: Numerical Studies and their Phenomenological Implications
We present results from analytical and numerical studies of a flux tube model
of hybrid mesons. Our numerical results use a Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithm
and so improve on previous analytical treatments, which assumed small flux tube
oscillations and an adiabatic separation of quark and flux tube motion. We find
that the small oscillation approximation is inappropriate for typical hadrons
and that the hybrid mass is underestimated by the adiabatic approximation. For
physical parameters in the ``one-bead" flux tube model we estimate the lightest
hybrid masses ( states) to be 1.8-1.9~GeV for
hybrids, 2.1-2.2~GeV for and 4.1-4.2~GeV for . We also
determine masses of conventional mesons with to in this
model, and confirm good agreement with experimental -averaged multiplet
masses. Mass estimates are also given for hybrids with higher orbital and
flux-tube excitations. The gap from the lightest hybrid level () to the
first hybrid orbital excitation () is predicted to be ~GeV
for light quarks and ~GeV for . Both and
hybrid multiplets contain the exotics and ; in
addition the has a and the contains a . Hybrid
mesons with doubly-excited flux tubes are also considered. The implications of
our results for spectroscopy are discussed, with emphasis on charmonium
hybrids, which may be accessible at facilities such as BEPC, KEK, a Tau-Charm
Factory, and in production at hadron colliders.Comment: 39 pages of RevTex. Figures available via anonymous ftp at

Evidence for Exotic Meson Production in the Reaction at 18 GeV/c
The system has been studied in the reaction at 18 GeV/c. A large asymmetry in the angular distribution is
observed indicating interference between L-even and L-odd partial waves. The
is observed in the = wave, as is a broad
enhancement between 1.2 and 1.6 GeV/c^{2} in the wave. The
observed phase difference between these waves shows that there is phase motion
in addition to that due to decay. The data can be fitted by
interference between the and an exotic resonance with ) MeV/c^2 and ) MeV/c^2
Proton-Antiproton Annihilation and Meson Spectroscopy with the Crystal Barrel
This report reviews the achievements of the Crystal Barrel experiment at the
Low Energy Antiproton Ring (LEAR) at CERN. During seven years of operation
Crystal Barrel has collected very large statistical samples in pbarp
annihilation, especially at rest and with emphasis on final states with high
neutral multiplicity. The measured rates for annihilation into various two-body
channels and for electromagnetic processes have been used to test simple models
for the annihilation mechanism based on the quark internal structure of
hadrons. From three-body annihilations three scalar mesons, a0(1450), f0(1370)
and f0(1500) have been established in various decay modes. One of them,
f0(1500), may be identified with the expected ground state scalar glueball.Comment: 64 pages, LATEX file, 36 figures are available as ps files at

Light Meson Spectroscopy
We survey the current status of light meson spectroscopy. We begin with a
general introduction to meson spectroscopy and and its importance in
understanding the physical states of Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD).
Phemenological models of hadron spectroscopy are described with particular
emphasis on the constituent quark model and the qualitative features it
predicts for the meson spectrum. We next discuss expectations for hadrons lying
outside the quark model, such as hadron states with excited gluonic degrees of
freedom. These states include so-called hybrids glueballs}, as well as
multiquark states. The established meson states are compared to the quark model
predictions and we find that most meson states are well described by the quark
model. However, a number of states in the light-quark sector do not fit in
well, suggesting the existence of hadronic states with additional degrees of
freedom. We end with a brief description of future directions in meson
spectroscopy.Comment: 111 pages with 28 imbedded figures, in LaTeX2e with no special
