Determining Compositeness of Hadronic Resonances: the Λ(1405)\Lambda (1405) Radiative Decay and the a0(980)a_{0} (980)-f0(980)f_{0} (980) Mixing

Recently the concept of compositeness has been developed so as to distinguish whether interested hadrons are hadronic molecules or not. Here, in terms of compositeness, we investigate $\bar{K} N$ molecular structure of the $\Lambda (1405)$ resonance with the $\Lambda (1405)$ radiative decay and $K \bar{K}$ molecular structure of the $a_{0} (980)$ and $f_{0} (980)$ resonances with the $a_{0} (980)$-$f_{0} (980)$ mixing.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures, Presentation given at the 2nd International Symposium on Science at J-PARC (J-PARC 2014), Tsukuba, Japan, July 12-15, 201

Electric Mean Squared Radii of Lambda(1405) in Chiral Dynamics

The electric mean squared radii _E of Lambda(1405) are calculated in the chiral unitary model. We describe the Lambda(1405) as a dynamically generated resonance fully in the octet meson and octet baryon scattering. We also consider ``Lambda(1405)'' as a bound state of KbarN. For the later ``Lambda(1405),'' we obtain negative and larger absolute value of electric mean squared radius than that of ordinary baryons, which implies that Lambda(1405) have structure of widely spread K^- around p.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, use ws-mpla.cls.

Studies of exotic hadrons by high-energy exclusive reactions

We investigate the possibility of clarifying internal structure of exotic hadrons by high-energy exclusive reactions. In particular, the constituent-counting rule could be used for determining the internal configuration in large-angle exclusive scattering. As an example, we show the cross section pi^- + p -> K^0 + Lambda(1405) in comparison with the one for the ground-state Lambda production pi^- + p -> K^0 + Lambda. The counting rule indicates that the cross section scales as s^8 dsigma /dt=constant if Lambda(1405) is an ordinary three-quark baryon, whereas it is s^{10} dsigma /dt=constant if Lambda(1405) is a five-quark baryon. Here, s and t are Mandelstam variables. Such experiments could be possible at J-PARC, LEP, JLab, CERN-COMPASS, and other high-energy facilities.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figures, 12th Asia Pacific Physics Conference (APPC12), JPS Conference Proceedings in pres

Internal structure of exotic hadrons by high-energy exclusive reactions

We propose to use high-energy exclusive reactions for probing internal structure of exotic hadron candidates. First, the constituent counting rule of perturbative QCD can be used for finding internal configurations of an exotic hadron candidate. It is because the number of constituents ($n$), which participate in the exclusive reaction, is found by the scaling behavior of the cross section $d\sigma/dt \propto 1/s^{n-2}$ at large momentum transfer, where $s$ is the center-of-mass energy squared. As an example, we show that the internal structure of $\Lambda \, (1405)$ should be found, for example, by the reaction $\pi^- + p \to K^0 + \Lambda (1405)$. Second, the internal structure of exotic hadron candidates should be investigated by hadron tomography with generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and generalized distribution amplitudes (GDAs) in exclusive reactions. Exotic nature should be reflected in the GPDs which contain two factors, longitudinal parton distributions as indicated by the constituent counting rule and transverse form factors as suggested by the hadron size. The GDAs should be investigated by the two-photon process $\gamma^* \gamma \to h\bar h$, for example $h=f_0$ or $a_0$, in electron-positron annihilation. Since the GDAs contain information on a time-like form factor, exotic nature should be found by studying the $h\bar h$ invariant mass dependence of the cross section. The internal structure of exotic hadron candidates should be clarified by the exclusive reactions at facilities such as J-PARC and KEKB.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, 9 eps files, JPS Conference Proceedings of the 2nd International Symposium on Science at J-PARC (J-PARC 2014), Tsukuba, Japan, July 12-15, 201

Exotic-Hadron Signature by Constituent-Counting Rule in Perturbative QCD

We explain a method to find internal quark configurations of exotic hadron candidates by using the constituent counting rule. The counting rule was theoretically predicted in perturbative QCD for hard exclusive hadron reactions, and it has been tested in experiments for stable hadrons including compound systems of hadrons such as the deuteron, $^3$H, and $^3$He. It indicates that the cross section scales as $d\sigma /dt \sim 1/s^{n-2}$, where $s$ is the center-of-mass energy squared and $n$ is the total number of constituents. We apply this method for finding internal configurations of exotic hadron candidates, especially $\Lambda (1405)$. There is a possibility that $\Lambda (1405)$ could be five-quark state or a $\bar K N$ molecule, and scaling properties should be different between the ordinary three-quark state or five-quark one. We predict such a difference in $\pi^- + p \to K^0 + \Lambda (1405)$, and it could be experimentally tested, for example, at J-PARC. On the other hand, there are already measurements for $\gamma + p \to K^+ + \Lambda (1405)$ as well as the ground $\Lambda$ in photoproduction reactions. Analyzing such data, we found an interesting indication that $\Lambda (1405)$ looks like a five-quark state at medium energies and a three-quark one at high energies. However, accurate higher-energy measurements are necessary for drawing a solid conclusion, and it should be done at JLab by using the updated 12 GeV electron beam. Furthermore, we discuss studies of exotic hadron candidates, such as $f_0 (980)$ and $a_0 (980)$, in electron-positron annihilation by using generalized distribution amplitudes and the counting rule. These studies should be possible as a KEKB experiment.Comment: 6 pages, LaTeX, 10 eps files, to be published in JPS Conf.

Lambda(1405) N to Y N transition in nuclear medium for non-mesonic absorption of Kbar in nucleus

Non-mesonic transition of Lambda(1405) N to YN is investigated as one of the essential processes for the non-mesonic absorption of Kbar in nuclei. Using one-meson exchange model in the calculation of the transition, we find that the non-mesonic transition ratio Gamma_{Lambda N} / Gamma_{Sigma N} depends strongly on the ratio of the Lambda(1405) (Lambda^*) couplings to Kbar N and pi Sigma. Especially a larger Lambda^*-Kbar N coupling leads to enhancement of the transition to Lambda N. Using the chiral unitary model for the description of the Lambda^*, we obtain Gamma_{Lambda N} / Gamma_{Sigma^{0} N} is approximately 1.2 which is almost independent of the nucleon density, and find the total non-mesonic decay width of the Lambda^* in uniform nuclear matter to be 22 MeV at the normal density.Comment: Talk given at 10th International Conference on Hypernuclear and Strange Particle Physics: Hyp-X, Tokai, Japan, 14-18 Sep 200
