Exotic JPC=1+J^{PC}=1^{-+} mesons in a holographic model of QCD

Abstract

Mesons with quantum numbers JPC=1+J^{PC}=1^{-+} cannot be represented as simple quark-antiquark pairs. We explore hybrid configurations in the light meson sector comprising a quark, an antiquark and an excited gluon, studying the properties of such states in a phenomenological model inspired by the gauge/gravity correspondence. The computed mass, compared to the experimental mass of the 1+1^{-+} candidates π1(1400)\pi_1(1400), π1(1600)\pi_1(1600) and π1(2015)\pi_1(2015), favous π1(1400)\pi_1(1400) as the lightest hybrid state. An interesting result concerns the stability of hybrid mesons at finite temperature: they disappear from the spectral function (i.e. they melt) at a lower temperature with respect to other states, light vector and scalar mesons, and scalar glueballs.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figure
