Charmed hadron photoproduction at COMPASS

Photoproduction of the charmonium-like state $Z_{c}(4200)$ and the charmed baryon $\Lambda_{c}^{\ast }(2940)$ is investigated with an effective Lagrangian approach and the Regge trajectories applying to the COMPASS experiment. Combining the experimental data from COMPASS and our theoretical model we estimate the upper limit of $\Gamma_{Z_{c}(4200)\rightarrow J/\psi \pi }$ to be of about 37 MeV. Moreover, the possibility to produce $\Lambda_{c}^{\ast }(2940)$ at COMPASS is discussed. It seems one can try to search for this hadron in the missing mass spectrum since the $t$-channel is dominating for the $\Lambda_{c}^{\ast }(2940)$ photoproduction.Comment: Proceedings of the Second International Symposium on Physics of Photons (ISPP 15), Lanzhou, China, July 201

The production of neutral N∗(11052)N^*(11052) resonance with hidden beauty from π−p\pi^-p scattering

We investigate the discovery potential of the predicted neutral hidden beauty $N^*(11052)$ resonance through $\pi^- p$ scattering within an effective Lagrangian approach. Two reactions $\pi^-p\rightarrow K^-\Sigma^+$ and $\pi^-p\rightarrow \eta_bn$ are studied in this work, with nucleon pole exchange as the background. It is found that the contributions of the $N^*(11052)$ resonance give clear peak structures in the magnitude of 1 $\mu b$ near the threshold of the $N^*(11052)$ in the total cross sections. The numerical results indicate that the center of mass energy $W\simeq$ 11-11.1 GeV would be a best energy window for searching the $N^*(11052)$ resonance, where the $N^*(11052)$ signal can be easily distinguished from the background. The COMPASS experiment at CERN's Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) with pion beam of $\simeq$ 280 GeV will be an ideal platform for searching the super-heavy resonance with hidden beauty, which is hopeful to test the theoretical results

Production of the superheavy baryon Λccˉ∗(4209)\Lambda _{c\bar{c}}^{\ast}(4209) in kaon-induced reaction

The production of superheavy $\Lambda _{c\bar{c}}^{\ast }(4209)$ baryon in the $K^{-}p\rightarrow \eta _{c}\Lambda$ process via $s$-channel is investigated with an effective Lagrangian approach and the isobar model. Moreover, the $t$-channel with $K^{\ast }$ and $u$-channel with nucleon exchange are also considered, which are regarded as the background for the $\Lambda _{c\bar{c}}^{\ast }(4209)$ production in the $K^{-}p\rightarrow \eta_{c}\Lambda$ reaction. The numerical results indicate it is feasible to searching for the superheavy $\Lambda _{c\bar{c}}^{\ast }(4209)$ via $K^{-}p$ scattering. These theoretical results not only provide valuable informations to future experimental exploration of $\Lambda _{c\bar{c}}^{\ast }(4209)$ resonance but enable us to have a better understanding of the exotic baryons.Comment: 6 page

Collective modes of a harmonically trapped one-dimensional Bose gas: the effects of finite particle number and nonzero temperature

Following the idea of the density functional approach, we develop a generalized Bogoliubov theory of an interacting Bose gas confined in a one-dimensional harmonic trap, by using a local chemical potential - calculated with the Lieb-Liniger exact solution - as the exchange energy. At zero temperature, we use the theory to describe collective modes of a finite-particle system in all interaction regimes from the ideal gas limit, to the mean-field Thomas-Fermi regime, and to the strongly interacting Tonks-Girardeau regime. At finite temperature, we investigate the temperature dependence of collective modes in the weak-coupling regime by means of a Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory with Popov approximation. By emphasizing the effects of finite particle number and nonzero temperature on collective mode frequencies, we make comparisons of our results with the recent experimental measurement [E. Haller et al., Science 325, 1224 (2009)] and some previous theoretical predictions. We show that the experimental data are still not fully explained within current theoretical framework.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figure
