Heavy Hadron Spectroscopy: A Quark Model Perspective
We present recent results of hadron spectroscopy and hadron hadron interaction from the perspective of constituent quark models. We pay special attention to the role played by higher-order hock space components in the hadron spectra and the connection of this extension with the hadron-hadron interaction. The main goal of our description is to obtain a coherent understanding of the low-energy hadron phenomenology without enforcing any particular model, to constrain its characteristics and learn about the low-energy realization of the theory
Nonlocal calculation for nonstrange dibaryons and tribaryons
We study the possible existence of nonstrange dibaryons and tribaryons by
solving the bound-state problem of the two- and three-body systems composed of
nucleons and deltas. The two-body systems are , , and
, while the three-body systems are , ,
, and . We use as input the nonlocal ,
, and potentials derived from the chiral quark cluster
model by means of the resonating group method. We compare with previous results
obtained from the local version based on the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.Comment: 19 pages. To be published in Physical Review
Unitary coupled-channels model for three-mesons decays of heavy mesons
A unitary coupled-channels model is presented for investigating the decays of
heavy mesons and excited meson states into three light pseudoscalar mesons. The
model accounts for the three-mesons final state interactions in the decay
processes, as required by both the three-body and two-body unitarity
conditions. In the absence of the Z-diagram mechanisms that are necessary
consequences of the three-body unitarity, our decay amplitudes are reduced to a
form similar to those used in the so-called isobar-model analysis. We apply our
coupled-channels model to the three-pions decays of a1(1260), pi2(1670),
pi2(2100), and D0 mesons, and show that the Z-diagram mechanisms can contribute
to the calculated Dalitz plot distributions by as much as 30% in magnitudes in
the regions where f0(600), rho(770), and f2(1270) dominate the distributions.
Also, by fitting to the same Dalitz plot distributions, we demonstrate that the
decay amplitudes obtained with the unitary model and the isobar model can be
rather different, particularly in the phase that plays a crucial role in
extracting the CKM CP-violating phase from the data of B meson decays. Our
results indicate that the commonly used isobar model analysis must be extended
to account for the final state interactions required by the three-body
unitarity to reanalyze the three-mesons decays of heavy mesons, thereby
exploring hybrid or exotic mesons, and signatures of physics beyond the
standard model.Comment: 32 pages, 10 figures. Version to appear in PR
Covariant equations for the three-body bound state
The covariant spectator (or Gross) equations for the bound state of three
identical spin 1/2 particles, in which two of the three interacting particles
are always on shell, are developed and reduced to a form suitable for numerical
solution. The equations are first written in operator form and compared to the
Bethe-Salpeter equation, then expanded into plane wave momentum states, and
finally expanded into partial waves using the three-body helicity formalism
first introduced by Wick. In order to solve the equations, the two-body
scattering amplitudes must be boosted from the overall three-body rest frame to
their individual two-body rest frames, and all effects which arise from these
boosts, including the Wigner rotations and rho-spin decomposition of the
off-shell particle, are treated exactly. In their final form, the equations
reduce to a coupled set of Faddeev-like double integral equations with
additional channels arising from the negative rho-spin states of the off-shell
particle.Comment: 57 pages, RevTeX, 6 figures, uses epsf.st
Deuteron NN*(1440) components from a chiral quark model
We present a nonrelativistic coupled-channel calculation of the deuteron
structure including Delta Delta and NN^*(1440) channels, besides the standard
NN S and D-wave components. All the necessary building blocks to perform the
calculation have been obtained from the same underlying quark model. The
calculated NN^*(1440) probabilities find support in the explanation given to
different deuteron reactions.Comment: 4 pages; revtex4, Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev. C (Brief

Dynamical Coupled-Channel Model of Scattering in the W 2 GeV Nucleon Resonance Region
As a first step to analyze the electromagnetic meson production reactions in
the nucleon resonance region, the parameters of the hadronic interactions of a
dynamical coupled-channel model, developed in {\it Physics Reports 439, 193
(2007)}, are determined by fitting the scattering data. The channels
included in the calculations are , and which has
, , and resonant components. The non-resonant
meson-baryon interactions of the model are derived from a set of Lagrangians by
using a unitary transformation method. One or two bare excited nucleon states
in each of , , , and partial waves are included to generate the
resonant amplitudes in the fits. The parameters of the model are first
determined by fitting as much as possible the empirical elastic
scattering amplitudes of SAID up to 2 GeV. We then refine and confirm the
resulting parameters by directly comparing the predicted differential cross
section and target polarization asymmetry with the original data of the elastic
and charge-exchange
processes. The predicted total cross sections of reactions and reactions are also in good agreement with the data. Applications
of the constructed model in analyzing the electromagnetic meson production data
as well as the future developments are discussed.Comment: Several improvements with respect to previous versio
Relativistic three-particle scattering equations
We derive a set of relativistic three-particle scattering equations in the
three-particle c.m. frame employing a relativistic three-particle propagator
suggested long ago by Ahmadzadeh and Tjon in the c.m. frame of a two-particle
subsystem. We make the coordinate transformation of this propagator from the
c.m. frame of the two-particle subsystem to the three-particle c.m. frame. We
also point out that some numerical applications of the Ahmadzadeh and Tjon
propagator to the three-nucleon problem use unnecessary nonrelativistic
approximations which do not simplify the computational task, but violate
constraints of relativistic unitarity and/or covariance.Comment: 5pages, text and one ps figure (in revtex) include
Two-body Pion Absorption on at Threshold
It is shown that a satisfactory explanation of the ratio of the rates of the
reactions and for stopped pions is obtained
once the effect of the short range two-nucleon components of the axial charge
operator for the nuclear system is taken into account. By employing realistic
models for the nucleon-nucleon interaction in the construction of these
components of the axial charge operator, the predicted ratios agree with the
empirical value to within 10-20\%.Comment: 19, UHPHYDOR-94-
Quark-model study of few-baryon systems
We review the application of non-relativistic constituent quark models to
study one, two and three non-strange baryon systems. We present results for the
baryon spectra, potentials and observables of the NN, N,
and NN systems, and also for the binding energies of three
non-strange baryon systems. We make emphasis on observable effects related to
quark antisymmetry and its interplay with quark dynamics.Comment: 82 pages, 36 figures, 18 tables. Accepted for publication in Reports

Polarization observables of the gamma d --> PiNN reaction in the Delta(1232)-resonance region
Polarization observables of the three charge states of the pion for the
reaction with polarized photon beam and/or oriented
deuteron target are evaluated over the whole (1232)-resonance region
adopting a nonrelativistic model based on time-ordered perturbation theory.
Results for the -meson spectra, linear photon asymmetry, vector and tensor
target asymmetries are presented. Particular attention is given, for the first
time, to double polarization asymmetries for which we present results for
and . We found that all other double
polarization asymmetries of photon and deuteron target are vanished.Comment: 17 Pages, 8 Figures, accepted for publication in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
