Chiral Mass Splitting for c \bar{s} and c \bar{n} Mesons in the \tilde{U}(12)-Classification Scheme of Hadrons

We investigate the chiral mass splitting of parity-doubled J=0,1 states for c \bar{s} and c \bar{n} meson systems in the \tilde{U}(12)_{SF}-classification scheme of hadrons, using the linear sigma model to describe the light-quark pseudoscalar and scalar mesons together with the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry, and consequently predict the masses of as-yet-unobserved (0^{+},1^{+}) c \bar{n} mesons. We also mention some indications of their existence in the recent published data from the Belle and BABAR Collaborations.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figures, talk at the 11th International Conference on Hadron Spectroscopy, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 21-26 Aug 2005, to appear in the Proceeding

Covariant Description of Composite Meson Systems and Chiral Symmetry

Assuming the spin-independence for confining force, we give a covariant quark representation of general composite meson systems with definite Lorentz transformation properties. For benefit of this representation we are able to deduce automatically the transformation rules of composite mesons for general symmetry operations from those of constituent (exciton) quarks. Applying this we investigate especially physical implication of chiral symmetry for the meson systems, and point out a possibility of existence of new meson multiplets.Comment: talk given in HADRON'99 in Beijing, August 1999. 4 pages, uses espcrc1.st
