  1. New Observations and Multiquark Candidates at BESII Stephen L. Olsen (for BES Collaboration) University of Hawai’i (Manoa) solsen@phys.hawaii.edu DPF/JPS/2006 Honolulu, HI October 30, 2006

  2. J/ decays are an ideal factory to search for and study light exotic hadrons: • The production cross section of J/ is high. • The production BR of hadrons in J/ decays are one order higher than ’ decays (“12% rule”). • The phase space to 1-3 GeV hadrons in J/ decays are larger than  decays. • Exotic hadrons are naively expected to have larger or similar production BR to conventional hadrons in J/ decays. • Clean background environment compared with hadron collision experiments, e.g., “JP, I” filter.

  3. World J/ Sample (106) Largest from BES 2001

  4. Outline • A possible bound state: mass threshold enhancement in and new observation of X(1835). • mass threshold enhancement in • mass threshold enhancementin •  mass threshold enhancement in J/   • New observation of a broad 1- - resonance in J/  K+K- 0

  5. A possible pp bound state

  6. Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 022001 (2003) Observation of an anomalous enhancement near the threshold of mass spectrum at BES II J/ygpp BES II acceptance weighted BW +3 +5 -10 -25 M=1859 MeV/c2 G < 30 MeV/c2 (90% CL) c2/dof=56/56 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 M(pp)-2mp (GeV) 3-body phase space acceptance

  7. Features of the enhancement near the threshold of mass spectrum at BES II BES II J/ygpp • Peak position: ~ 0 MeV above threshold • “Width”: ~ 60M eV • Strong (“Height”): (S+B)/B ~ 2 The above features may help us easily to judge whether it is observed in other processes. 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 M(pp)-2mp (GeV)

  8. This narrow threshold enhancement is NOT observed in Y(1S)gpp at CLEO • This result cannot be explained by pure FSI effect, since FSI is a universal effect. FSI interpretation of the narrow and strong ppbar threshold enhancement is disfavored. PRD73, 032001(2006) No enhancement near threshold

  9. No threshold enhancement is observed in J/ywpp Preliminary No narrow strong enhancement near threshold

  10. Pure FSI disfavored I=0 S-wave FSI CANNOT fit the BES data. FSI curve from A.Sirbirtsev et al. ( Phys.Rev.D71:054010, 2005) in the fit (I=0) FSI* PS * eff + bck

  11. X(1860) has large BR to pp • BES): • From Crystal Ball result, we estimate: •  a huge Br pp: J/y g X Xtal Ball Considering that decays to pp are only possible from the tail of X(1860) where the phase space is very small, such a BR indicates X(1860) has large coupling to ppbar !

  12. Summary of the properties of the strong ppbar mass threshold enhancement X(1860) • So far, only observed in J/ radiative decays: • It could have the largest decay BR to ppbar among all PDG particles: • It has strong coupling to ppbar.

  17. Re-fit to J/p p including FSI Include FSI curve from A.Sirbirtsev et al. ( Phys.Rev.D71:054010, 2005) in the fit (I=0) M = 1830.6  6.7 MeV  < 153 MeV @90%C.L. In good agreement with X(1835)

  18. A Possible pp Bound State • X(1835) could be the same structure as pp mass threshold enhancement. • It could be a pp bound state since it dominantly decays to pp when its mass is above pp mass threshold. • Its spin-parity should be 0-+: this would be an important test.

  22. Observation of a strong enhancement near the threshold of mass spectrum at BES II NX* BES II PS, eff. corrected (Arbitrary normalization)

  23. A strong enhancement is observed near the mass threshold of MKat BES II. • Preliminary PWA with various combinations of possible N* and Λ* in the fits —— The structure Nx*has: Mass 1500~1650MeV Width70~110MeV JP favors 1/2- The most important is: It has large BR(J/ψ  pNX*) BR(NX* KΛ)2 X 10-4 , suggesting NX* has strong coupling to KΛ.

  24. A ΛK resonance predicted by chiral SU(3) quark model • Based on a coupled-channel study of ΛK andΣK states in the chiral SU(3) quark model, the phase shift shows the existence of a ΛK resonance between ΛK andΣK mass threshold. ( F. Huang, Z.Y. Zhang et al. Phys. Rev. C71: 064001, 2005 ) Ecm – ( MΛ+MK ) (MeV)

  25. The KΛ mass threshold enhancement NX(1610) could be a KΛ bound/resonant state (5-quark system with hidden ssbar components).

  26. Observation of mass threshold enhancement

  30. Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 162002 (2006) A clear mass threshold enhancement is observed Acceptance

  31. The radiative decay of J/ has been observed in the 58M J/ data. • A significant structure of  has been found near the mass threshold. • PWA shows the structure favors 0++, with a mass , width 1052028 MeV, and the corresponding branch ration is (2.610.270.65)x10-4. • It could be a multiquark/hybrid/glueball state. • Is it related to the f0(1710),f0(1790)?

  32. Are STRONG threshold enhancements universal in J/ decays ?——NO ! • In many cases we do NOT see threshold enhancements ! • For example: In J/ decays at BES II

  33. hep-ex/0606047, Submitted to Phys. Rev. Lett. observation of a broad 1- - resonance in J/  K+K- 0

  34. J/  K+K-  very clean 0 signal

  35. J/  K+K- 0 Background PID and kinematic fit can significantly reduce the dominant background from J/  + - 0.

  36. Partial Wave Analysis of J/  K+K- 0 events • Parity conservations in J/  K+K- 0requires that spin-parity of K+K- should be 1--,3--,… • PWA fit with and phase space (PS) gives ( preliminary ): ( can be ruled out by much worse likelihood ) • X pole position • big destructive interference among and PS

  37. Broad X cannot be fit with known mesons or their interference • It is unlikely to be (1450), because: • The parameters of the X is incompatible with (1450). • (1450) has very small fraction to KK. From PDG: • It cannot be fit with the interference of (770) , (1900) and (2150): • The log-likelihood value worsens by 85 (2=170).

  38. How to understand broad X(1580)? • Search of a similar structure in J/  KSK will help to determine its isospin. • X(1580) could have different nature from conventional mesons: • There are already many 1- - mesons nearby. • Width (~800MeV) is much broader than other mesons. • Broad width is expected for a multiquark state. (Tetraquark interpretation: M. Karliner, H.J. Lipkin, hep-ph/0607093)

  39. Summary (I) • A very narrow and strong mass threshold enhancement is uniquely observed in decays at BES II: • It is NOT observed in (1S) decays, or in J/y hadronic decays. FSI is strongly disfavored. • Its large BR to suggests it be a bound state. • X(1835) is observed in It could be same structure as the ppbar mass threshold enhancement, i.e., it could be a pp bound state.

  40. Summary (II) • mass threshold enhancement is observed in • Evidence of NX(1610) is observed near the KΛmass threshold, suggesting a KΛ bound or resonant state. • An  mass threshold enhancement is observed in J/  . • A very broad 1- - resonance X(1580) is observed in J/  K+K- 0 . • None of the above match well to qq meson or qqq baryon assignments

  42. Multi-quark State, Glueball and Hybrid • Hadrons consist of 2 or 3 quarks： Naive Quark Model： • New forms of hadrons: • Multi-quark states：Number of quarks >＝ 4 • Hybrids：qqg，qqqg … • Glueballs：gg， ggg … Meson（ qq ） Baryon（q q q） How quarks/gluons form a hadron is far from being well understood.

  43. Multi-quark states, glueballs and hybrids have been searched for experimentally for a very long time, but none is established.However, during the past two years, a lot of surprising experimental evidences showed the existence of hadrons that cannot (easily) be explained in the conventional quark model. Most of them are multi-quark candidates. Searching for multi-quark states becomes one of the hottest topics in the hadron spectroscopy.

  44. What do we expect from J/psigamma ppbar results? The baryonium interpretation of the ppbar mass threshold enhancement predicts a new particle around 1.85 GeV which should be observed in other decay mode with full BW resonant structure.

  45. Possible Interpretations • FSI？ Theoretical calculations are needed. • Conventional K* or a multiquark resonance？ • Search for its Kπ 、Kππ decay modes would help to understand its nature. • We are now studying J/ KKπ 、KKππ

  46. NO strong dynamical threshold enhancement in cross sections (at LEAR) • With threshold kinematic contributions removed, there are very smooth threshold enhancements in elastic “matrix element” and very small enhancement in annihilation “matrix element”:  much weaker than what BES observed ! |M|2 |M|2 BES BES Both arbitrary normalization Both arbitrary normalization

  47. Any inconsistency? NO! • For example: with Mres = 1859 MeV, Γ = 30 MeV, J=0, BR(ppbar) ~ 10%, an estimation based on: At Ecm = 2mp + 6 MeV ( i.e., pLab = 150 MeV ), in elastic process, the resonant cross section is ~ 0.6 mb : much smaller than the continuum cross section ~ 94  20 mb .  Difficult to observe it in cross sections experimentally.

  48. This narrow threshold enhancement is NOT observed in B decays • The structure in B decays is obviously different from the BES observation: Belle The structure in B decays is much wider and is not really at threshold. It can be explained by fragmentation mechanism. BES II Threshold enhancement in J/ decays is obviously much more narrow and just at threshold, and it cannot be explained by fragmentation mechanism.

  49. Pure FSI disfavored (I) • Theoretical calculation (Zou and Chiang, PRD69 034004 (2003))shows: The enhancement caused by one-pion-exchange (OPE) FSI is too small to explain the BES structure. • The enhancement caused by Coulomb interaction is even smaller than one-pion-exchange FSI. |M|2 |M|2 BES BES Both arbitrary normalization Both arbitrary normalization one-pion-exchange FSI Coulomb interaction

  50. FSI Factors Most reliable full FSI factors are from A.Sirbirtsev et al. ( Phys.Rev.D71:054010, 2005)，which fit ppbar elastic cross section near threshold quite well. ppbar elastic cross section near threshold I=1 S-wave P-wave I=0 S-wave
