Two photon couplings of the lightest isoscalars from BELLE data

Amplitude Analysis of two photon production of $\pi\pi$ and ${\overline K}K$, using S-matrix constraints and fitting all available data, including the latest precision results from Belle, yields a single partial wave solution up to 1.4 GeV. The two photon couplings of the $\sigma/f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$ and $f_2(1270)$ are determined from the residues of the resonance poles.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, extended for detail

A new method to study the number of colors in the final-state interactions of hadrons

We match the $\pi\pi\to\pi\pi$ scattering amplitudes of Chiral Perturbation Theory with those from dispersion relations that respect analyticity and coupled channel unitarity, as well as accurately describing experiment. Their dependence on the number of colors ($N_C$) is obtained. By varying $N_C$ the trajectories of the poles and residues (the couplings to $\pi\pi$) of light mesons, the $\sigma$, $f_0(980)$, $\rho(770)$ and $f_2(1270)$ are investigated. Our results show that the method proposed is a reliable way to study the $N_C$ dependence in hadron-hadron scattering with final-state interactions.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, improved $N_C$ behaviou

Diasporic Trauma in Unaccustomed Earth

Jhumpa Lahiri is a famous Indian American author whose works consistently deal with the themes like diaspora, dislocation and belonging. She explores the trauma of diaspora in her third book Unaccustomed Earth in which the characters suffer from the loss of a traditional culture, death of a family member, the sense of rootlessness, double consciousness and generation conflicts. This paper argues that only by renegotiating the relationship between the past and present, keeping the balance between memories and forgetting, can characters in the novel gradually work through their trauma and reconstruct a new identity

J/ψ→γη′π+π−J/\psi \to \gamma\eta'\pi^+\pi^- and the structure observed around the pˉp\bar pp threshold

We analyze the origin of the structure observed in the reaction $J/\psi \to \gamma \eta'\pi^+\pi^-$ for $\eta'\pi^+\pi^-$ invariant masses close to the antiproton-proton ($\bar pp$) threshold, commonly associated with the $X(1835)$ resonance. Specifically, we explore the effect of a possible contribution from the two-step process $J/\psi \to \gamma \bar NN \to \gamma \eta'\pi^+\pi^-$. The calculation is performed in distorted-wave Born approximation which allows an appropriate inclusion of the $\bar NN$ interaction in the transition amplitude. The $\bar NN$ amplitude itself is generated from a corresponding potential recently derived within chiral effective field theory. We are able to reproduce the measured spectra for the reactions $J/\psi \to \gamma \bar pp$ and $J/\psi \to \gamma \eta'\pi^+\pi^-$ for invariant masses around the $\bar pp$ threshold. The structure seen in the $\eta'\pi^+\pi^-$ spectrum emerges as a threshold effect due to the opening of the $\bar pp$ channel.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure

Re-examining the X(4630)X(4630) resonance in the reaction e+e−→Λc+Λˉc−e^+e^-\rightarrow \Lambda^+_c\bar\Lambda^-_c

The reaction $e^+e^-\rightarrow \Lambda^+_c\bar\Lambda^-_c$ is investigated at energies close to the threshold with emphasis on the role played by the $X(4630)$ resonance. The interaction in the final $\Lambda^+_c \bar\Lambda^-_c$ system, constructed within chiral effective field theory and supplemented by a pole diagram that represents a bare $X(4630)$ resonance, is taken into account rigorously. The pole parameters of the $X(4630)$ are extracted and found to be compatible with the ones of the $X(4660)$ resonance that have been established in the reaction $e^+e^- \to \pi^+\pi^-\psi(2S)$. The actual result for the $X(4630)$ is $M = (4652.5\pm 3.4)$ MeV and $\Gamma = (62.6\pm 5.6)$ MeV. Predictions for the $\Lambda^+_c$ electromagnetic form factors in the timelike region are presented.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
