Possible open-charmed pentaquark molecule Ωc(3188)\Omega_c(3188) --- the DΞD \Xi bound state --- in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism

We study the $S$-wave $D\Xi$ bound state in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism in the ladder and instantaneous approximations. With the kernel generated by the hadronic effective Lagrangian, two open-charmed bound states, which quantum numbers are $I=0$, $J^P=(\frac{1}{2})^-$ and $I=1$, $J^P=(\frac{1}{2})^-$, respectively, are predicted as new candidates of hadronic pentaquark molecules in our formalism. If existing, they could contribute to the broad 3188 eV structure near the five new narrow $\Omega_c$ states observed recently by the LHCb Collaboration.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures, accepted by Eur.

Globally Polarized Quark-gluon Plasma in Non-central A+A Collisions

Produced partons have large local relative orbital angular momentum along the direction opposite to the reaction plane in the early stage of non-central heavy-ion collisions. Parton scattering is shown to polarize quarks along the same direction due to spin-orbital coupling. Such global quark polarization will lead to many observable consequences, such as left-right asymmetry of hadron spectra, global transverse polarization of thermal photons, dileptons and hadrons. Hadrons from the decay of polarized resonances will have azimuthal asymmetry similar to the elliptic flow. Global hyperon polarization is predicted within different hadronization scenarios and can be easily tested.Comment: 4 pages in RevTex with 2 postscript figures, an erratum is added to the final published versio
