Threshold corrections of and states and and transitions of the in a coupled-channel model
We calculate the masses of and states
with threshold corrections in a coupled-channel model. Here, the meson
quarkonium core is augmented by higher Fock components due to pair-creation
effects. According to our results, we interpret the resonances characterized by
very small threshold corrections, like 's, as almost pure
quarkonia, and those states characterized by non-negligible threshold
corrections, like the , as quarkonium cores plus meson-meson
components. We also study the and hidden-flavor
strong decays of the . The decays are calculated as the dissociation
of one of these components () into a state
() plus a light meson ( or ) in a potential model. In
particular, our result for the ratio between the and widths (0.6) is compatible with the present
experimental data () within the experimental error
The unquenched quark model
In this contribution, we briefly discuss the results for charmonium and
bottomonium spectra with self-energy corrections in the unquenched quark model,
due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. The UQM formalism can be
extended to include also the effects of hybrid mesons, i.e. hybrid loops.
Finally, we discuss the results of a calculation of hybrid mesons spectrum in
