Isospin breaking, coupled-channel effects, and X(3872)
We re-investigate the possibility of X(3872) as a molecule with
within the framework of both the one-pion-exchange (OPE) model
and the one-boson-exchange (OBE) model. After careful treatment of the S-D wave
mixing, the mass difference between the neutral and charged mesons and
the coupling of the pair to , a loosely bound molecular
state X(3872) emerges quite naturally with large isospin violation in its
flavor wave function. For example, the isovector component is 26.24% if the
binding energy is 0.30 MeV, where the isospin breaking effect is amplified by
the tiny binding energy. After taking into account the phase space difference
and assuming the and come from a virtual omega and rho meson
respectively, we obtain the ratio of these two hidden-charm decay modes:
for the binding
energy being 0.3 MeV, which is consistent with the experimental value.Comment: published in Phys. Rev.
Deuteron-like states composed of two doubly charmed baryons
We present a systematic investigation of the possible molecular states
composed of a pair of doubly charmed baryons () or one doubly
charmed baryon and one doubly charmed antibaryon
within the framework of the one-boson-exchange-potential model. For the
spin-triplet systems, we take into account the mixing between the and
channels. For the baryon-baryon system with and , where and represent the group
representation and the isospin of the system, respectively, there exist loosely
bound molecular states. For the baryon-antibaryon system
with , and , there
also exist deuteron-like molecules. The molecular states
may be produced at LHC. The proximity of their masses to the threshold of two
doubly charmed baryons provides a clean clue to identify them.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
Possible hadronic molecules composed of the doubly charmed baryon and nucleon
We perform a systematical investigation of the possible deuteron-like bound
states with configuration , where denotes the
nucleon (anti-nucleon), in the framework of the one-boson-exchange-potential
model. In the spin-triplet sector we take into account both the and
channels due to non-vanishing tensor force. There exist several
candidates of the loosely bound molecular states for the and
systems, which lie below the threshold of
or . We also investigate the
possible loosely bound states with configurations and
. These molecular candidates may be searched for at Belle
II and LHC in the near future.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figure
Possible Deuteron-like Molecular States Composed of Heavy Baryons
We perform a systematic study of the possible loosely bound states composed
of two charmed baryons or a charmed baryon and an anti-charmed baryon within
the framework of the one boson exchange (OBE) model. We consider not only the
exchange but also the , , , and
exchanges. The mixing effects for the spin-triplets are also taken into
account. With the derived effective potentials, we calculate the binding
energies and root-mean-square (RMS) radii for the systems
, ,
,
and
. Our numerical results indicate that: (1)
the H-dibaryon-like state does not exist; (2) there may
exist four loosely bound deuteron-like states and
with small binding energies and large RMS radii.Comment: 17 pages, 32 figure
Nucleus-nucleus potential from identical-particle interference
Based on the quantum interference between two-identical-nucleus scattering at
energies around the Coulomb barrier, the barrier positions for
Ni+Ni and O+O are extracted from Mott oscillations
in the angular distributions around 90 for the first time. The angle
separation of pairs of Mott scattering valleys around 90 has a direct
relationship with the closest distance between two nuclei in elastic
scattering. Together with the barrier height from fusion excitation function,
the extracted barrier position provides a sensitive probe to constrain the
model predictions for the nucleus-nucleus potential barrier.Comment: 4 figures, accepted for publication in Phys. Lett.
