Investigating possible decay modes of under the molecular state ansatz
By assuming that is a molecular state, we investigate
some hidden-charm and charmed pair decay channels of via intermediate
meson loops with an effective Lagrangian approach. Through
investigating the -dependence of branching ratios and ratios between
different decay channels, we show that the intermediate meson
loops are crucial for driving these transitions of studied here. The
coupled channel effects turn out to be more important in , which can be tested in the future experiments.Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures; The width effects of Y(4260) considered; Revised

More hidden heavy quarkonium molecules and their discovery decay modes
To validate the molecular description of the observed
and , it is valuable to investigate their counterparts,
denoted as in this work, and the corresponding decay modes.
In this work, we present an analysis of the using flavor
symmetry. We also use the effective Lagrangian based on the heavy quark
symmetry to explore the rescattering mechanism and calculate the partial widths
for the isospin conserved channels . The
predicted partial widths are of an order of MeV for ,
which correspond to branching ratios of the order of . For
, the partial widths are a few hundreds of keV and
the branching ratios are about . Future experimental measurements can
test our predictions on the partial widths and thus examine the molecule
description of heavy quarkoniumlike exotic states.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figures; accepted by Phys. Rev.
B_{s1}(5830) and B_{s2}^*(5840)
In this paper we investigate the strong decays of the two newly observed
bottom-strange mesons and in the framework of
the quark pair creation model. The two-body strong decay widths of
and are
calculated by considering to be a mixture between and
states, and to be a state. The double pion
decay of and is supposed to occur via the
intermediate state and . Although the double pion decay
widths of and are smaller than the two-body
strong decay widths of and , one suggests future
experiments to search the double pion decays of and
due to their sizable decay widths.Comment: 9 pages, 8 figures and 6 tables. More references and discussions

Further understanding of the non- decays of
We provide details of the study of non- decays into
, where and denote light vector meson and pseudoscalar meson,
respectively. We find that the electromagnetic (EM) interaction plays little
role in these processes, while the strong interaction dominates. The strong
interaction can be separated into two parts, i.e. the short-distance part
probing the wave function at origin and the long-distance part reflecting the
soft gluon exchanged dynamics. The long-distance part is thus described by the
intermediate charmed meson loops. We show that the transition of can be related to such that the parameters in our model
can be constrained by comparing the different parts in to
those in . Our quantitative results confirm the findings of
[Zhang {\it et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 172001 (2009)] that the
OZI-rule-evading long-distance strong interaction via the IML plays an
important role in decays, and could be a key towards a full
understanding of the mysterious non- decay mechanism.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures, version to appear in Phys. Rev.
Microscopic Realization of 2-Dimensional Bosonic Topological Insulators
It is well known that a Bosonic Mott insulator can be realized by condensing
vortices of a bo- son condensate. Usually, a vortex becomes an anti-vortex (and
vice-versa) under time reversal symmetry, and the condensation of vortices
results in a trivial Mott insulator. However, if each vortex or anti-vortex
interacts with a spin trapped at its core, the time reversal transformation of
the composite vortex operator will contain an extra minus sign. It turns out
that such a composite vortex condensed state is a bosonic topological insulator
(BTI) with gapless boundary excitations protected by
symmetry. We point out that in BTI, an external flux monodromy defect
carries a Kramers doublet. We propose lattice model Hamiltonians to realize the
BTI phase, which might be implemented in cold atom systems or spin-1 solid
state systems.Comment: 5 pages + supplementary materia
