Heavy quark spin symmetric molecular states from and other coupled channels in the light of the recent LHCb pentaquarks
We consider the states, together with and other coupled channels, and take an interaction consistent with heavy
quark spin symmetry, with the dynamical input obtained from an extension of the
local hidden gauge approach. By fitting only one parameter to the recent three
pentaquark states reported by the LHCb collaboration, we can reproduce the
three of them in base to the mass and the width, providing for them the quantum
numbers and approximate molecular structure as ,
, and , and isospin
. We find another state around 4374 MeV, of
structure, for which indications appear in the experimental spectrum. Two other
near degenerate states of and nature are also found around 4520 MeV, which although less clear,
are not incompatible with the observed spectrum. In addition, a state at the same energy appears, which however does not couple
to in wave, and hence it is not expected to show up in the LHCb
experiment.Comment: 8 page
Photons, neutrinos and optical activity
We compute the one-loop helicity amplitudes for low-energy
scattering and its crossed channels in the standard
model with massless neutrinos. In the center of mass, with , the cross sections for these channels grow roughly
as . The scattered photons in the elastic channel are circularly
polarized and the net value of the polarization is non-zero. We also present a
discussion of the optical activity of a sea of neutrinos and estimate the
values of its index of refraction and rotary power.Comment: 9 pages, ReVTeX4, 6 figures include
The (1535) and (1650) Resonances in Meson-Baryon Unitarized Coupled Channel Chiral Perturbation Theory
The wave meson-baryon scattering is analyzed for the strangeness S=0
sector in a Bethe-Salpeter coupled channel formalism incorporating Chiral
Symmetry. Four channels have been considered: , , ,
. The needed two particle irreducible matrix amplitude is taken from
lowest order Chiral Perturbation Theory in a relativistic formalism and low
energy constants are fitted to the elastic phase-shifts and the and cross section data. The position of
the complex poles in the second Riemann sheet of the scattering amplitude
determine masses and widths of the (1535) and (1650)
resonances, in reasonable agreement with experiment. A good overall description
of data, from threshold up to 2 GeV, is achieved keeping in mind that
the two pion production channel has not been included.Comment: 35 pages, LaTeX + 7 ps-figure files. Some minor mistakes have been

Neutrino Interactions Importance for Nuclear Physics
We review the general interplay between Nuclear Physics and neutrino-nucleus
cross sections at intermediate and high energies. The effects of different
reaction mechanisms over the neutrino observables are illustrated with examples
in calculations using several nuclear models and ingredients.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of 6th International Workshop on

Fermion and Anti-Fermion Effective Masses in High Temperature Gauge Theories in -Asymmetric Background
We calculate the splitting between fermion and anti-fermion effective masses
in high temperature gauge theories in the presence of a non-vanishing chemical
potential due to the -asymmetric fermionic background. In particular we
consider the case of left-handed leptons in the theory when
the temperature is above GeV and the gauge symmetry is restored.Comment: 13 pages, TIPAC-93001
The Inverse Amplitude Method in Scattering in Chiral Perturbation Theory to Two Loops
The inverse amplitude method is used to unitarize the two loop
scattering amplitudes of SU(2) Chiral Perturbation Theory in the ,
and channels. An error analysis in terms of the low energy
one-loop parameters and existing experimental data is
undertaken. A comparison to standard resonance saturation values for the two
loop coefficients is also carried out. Crossing
violations are quantified and the convergence of the expansion is discussed.Comment: (Latex, epsfig) 30 pages, 13 figures, 8 table
Three methods to detect the predicted DDˉ scalar meson X(3700)
In analogy to the f(0)(500), which appears as a pi pi resonance in chiral unitary theory, and the f(0)(980), which appears as a quasibound K (K) over bar state, the extension of this approach to the charm sector also predicts a quasibound D (D) over bar state with mass around 3720 MeV, named as X(3700), for which some experimental support is seen in the e(+)e(-) -> J/psi D (D) over bar reaction close to the D (D) over bar threshold. In the present work we propose three different experiments to observe it as a clear peak. The first one is the radiative decay of the psi(3770), psi(3770) -> gamma X(3700) -> gamma eta eta'. The second one proposes the analogous reaction psi(4040) -> gamma X(3700) -> gamma eta eta' and the third reaction is the e(+)e(-) -> J/psi X(3700) -> J/psi eta eta'. Neat peaks are predicted for all the reactions and the calculated rates are found within measurable range in present facilities
