- Exotic hybrid mesons in hard electroproduction

hep-ph/0411407
We estimate the sizeable cross section for deep exclusive electroproduction
of an exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ hybrid meson in the Bjorken regime. The production
amplitude scales like the one for usual meson electroproduction, i.e. as
$1/Q^2$. This is due to the non-vanishing leading twist distribution amplitude
for the hybrid meson, which may be normalized thanks to its relation to the
energy momentum tensor and to the QCD sum rules technique. The hard amplitude
is considered up to next-to-leading order in $\alpha_{S}$ and we explore the
consequences of fixing the renormalization scale ambiguity through the BLM
procedure. We study the particular case where the hybrid meson decays through a
$\pi\eta $ meson pair. We discuss the $\pi\eta$ generalized distribution
amplitude and then calculate the production amplitude for this process. We
propose a forward-backward asymmetry in the production of $\pi$ and $\eta$
mesons as a signal for the hybrid meson production. We briefly comment on
hybrid electroproduction at very high energy, in the diffractive limit where a
QCD Odderon exchange mechanism should dominate. The conclusion of our study is
that hard electroproduction is a promissing way to study exotic hybrid mesons,
in particular at JLAB, HERA (HERMES) or CERN (Compass).
- Towards a Relativistic Description of Exotic Meson Decays
Nikodem J. Poplawski, Adam P. Szczepaniak, J.T. Londergan
hep-ph/0408197
This work analyses hadronic decays of exotic mesons, with a focus on the
lightest one, the $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ $\pi_{1}$, in a fully relativistic formalism,
and makes comparisons with non-relativistic results. We also discuss Coulomb
gauge decays of normal mesons that proceed through their hybrid components. The
relativistic spin wave functions of mesons and hybrids are constructed based on
unitary representations of the Lorentz group. The radial wave functions are
obtained from phenomenological considerations of the mass operator. Fully
relativistic results (with Wigner rotations) differ significantly from
non-relativistic ones. We also find that the decay channels $\pi_{1}\to\pi
b_{1}, \pi f_{1}, KK_{1}$ are favored, in agreement with results obtained using
other models.
- The D*0 D0bar threshold resonance
Frank E. Close and Philip R. Page
hep-ph/0309253
Tests are discussed to distinguish c cbar, hybrid charmonium and molecular
interpretations of the narrow Belle resonance at 3872 MeV.
- The "forbidden" decays of hybrid mesons to $\pi \rho$ can be large
F.E. Close, J.J. Dudek
hep-ph/0308099
The observation of $\pi_1(1600) \to \pi \rho$ is shown in the flux-tube model to be compatible
with this state being a hybrid meson with branching ratio to this channel $\sim 10-25%$. This
forces the hybrid $\pi(\sim 1800)$ to have a width to $\pi \rho \sim$ 100-300 MeV, which
implies a novel interpretation of data. The $\pi \rho$ widths of other hybrids are related by
rather general arguments. These results enable cross sections for photoproduction of hybrids to
be predicted.
- Hybrid meson production by electromagnetic and weak
interactions in a flux-tube simulation of lattice QCD
F.E. Close, J.J. Dudek
hep-ph/0308098
We calculate rates for hybrid meson production by electromagnetic and weak interactions in
the flux-tube model. Applications include photo and electroproduction at Jefferson Laboratory
and HERA, and the production of light strange and charmed hybrids in the weak decays of
heavy flavours. Photoproduction of some light hybrids is predicted to be prominent in charge
exchange reactions, $\gamma p \to n \cal{H}$ and accessible in $\gamma p \to p \cal{H}$.
Production of light or charmed hybrids in $B$ and $D$ decays may be feasible with high
statistics. Photoproduction of the axial hybrid meson is predicted to be large courtesy of $\pi$
exchange, and its strange counterpart is predicted in $B \to \psi K_H(1^+)$ with $b.r. \sim
10^{-4}$. Production rates for exotic hybrid candidates $1^{-+};(0,2)^{+-}$ are given special
attention. Selection rules that can help to distinguish between hybrid and conventional states
with the same $J^{PC}$ are noted.
- Charmonium Hybrid Production in Exclusive B Meson Decays
F.E. Close and S. Godfrey
hep-ph/0305285
Recent data on charmonium production in B-meson decays suggest that
charmonium hybrid mesons with mass ~4 GeV may be produced in B-decay via
c\bar{c} colour octet operators. Some of these states are likely to be narrow
with clean signatures to J/\psi pi^+ pi^- final states. Experimental signatures
and search strategies for existing B-factories are described.
- Selection rules for J^PC Exotic Hybrid Meson Decay in Large-N_c
Philip R. Page
hep-ph/0303170
The coupling of a neutral hybrid {1,3,5...}^-+ exotic particle (or current)
to two neutral (hybrid) meson particles with the same J^PC and J=0 is proved to
be sub-leading to the usual large-N_c QCD counting. The coupling of the same
exotic particle to certain two - (hybrid) meson currents with the same J^PC and
J=0 is also sub-leading. The decay of a {1,3,5...}^-+ hybrid to eta pi^0, eta'
pi^0, eta' eta, eta(1295) pi^0, pi(1300)^0 pi0, eta(1440) pi^0, a_0(980)^0
sigma or f_0(980) sigma is sub-leading, assuming that these final state
particles are (hybrid) mesons in the limit of large N_c.
- Can the Mechanism for $\pi_1\to \eta\pi,\eta'\pi$ Hybrid Decays be
Detected?
Ailin Zhang and T.G. Steele
hep-ph/0207369
Two mechanisms for the $\pi_1$ ($J^{PC}=1^{-+}$) hybrid meson decay processes
$\pi_1\to\eta\pi,\eta'\pi$ are investigated. These mechanisms are applied to
$\phi\to\eta\gamma,\eta'\gamma$ and $J/\psi\to\eta\gamma,\eta'\gamma$ decays to
illustrate the validity of the decay mechanisms and to obtain independent
information on the coupling of $\eta,\eta'$ to quark and gluonic operators.
From this information, we find that
$\Gamma(\pi_1\to\eta\pi)/\Gamma(\pi_1\to\eta'\pi)$ is substantially different
in the two decay mechanisms, and hence future experimental measurements of this
ratio will provide valuable information for substantiating the hybrid nature of
these states and for determining the mechanism for these hybrid decays.
- Special relativity constraints on the effective constituent theory of
hybrids
Stanislaw D. Glazek, Adam P. Szczepaniak
hep-ph/0204248
We consider a simplified constituent model for relativistic
strong-interaction decays of hybrid mesons. The model is constructed using
rules of renormalization group procedure for effective particles in light-front
quantum field theory, which enables us to introduce low-energy phenomenological
parameters. Boost covariance is kinematical and special relativity constraints
are reduced to the requirements of rotational symmetry. For a hybrid meson
decaying into two mesons through dissociation of a constituent gluon into a
quark-anti-quark pair, the simplified constituent model leads to a rotationally
symmetric decay amplitude if the hybrid meson state is made of a constituent
gluon and a quark-anti-quark pair of size several times smaller than the
distance between the gluon and the pair, as if the pair originated from one
gluon in a gluonium state in the same effective theory.
- Molecular States and 1^-+ Exotic Mesons
Rui Zhang, Yi-Bing Ding, Xue-Qian Li, Philip R. Page
hep-ph/0111361
This work investigates whether the observed 1^-+ exotic mesons are molecular
states. We first use a potential model to calculate the spectra and lifetimes
of the f_0(980) and a_0(980), taken to be loosely bound molecular states of K
Kbar, then apply the same scenario to the 1^-+ exotic states pi_1(1400) and
pi_1(1600), assuming them to be pi eta(1295) and pi eta(1440) molecules
respectively. We derive the effective potential in the framework of field
theory at the hadronic level. Our results indicate that the present data on
pi_1(1400) and pi_1(1600) rule out the specific molecular ansatz. We show that
the lifetime of a loosely bound heavy-light molecule with enough angular
momentum is fully determined by the lifetimes of its constituent mesons.
- Light-Quark Vector Meson Spectroscopy
A Donnachie and Yu S Kalashnikova
hep-ph/0110191
The current situation for vector meson spectroscopy is outlined, and it is
shown that the data are inconsistent with the generally-accepted model for
meson decay. A possible resolution in terms of exotic mesons is given. Although
this resolves some of the issues, fresh theoretical questions are raised.
- Effective Lagrangians Induced by the Anomalous Wess-Zumino Action and
$I^G(J^{PC})=1^-(1^{-+})$ Exotic States
N.N. Achasov and G.N. Shestakov
hep-ph/0110134
A simple dynamical model for the exotic waves with $I^G(J^{PC})=1^-(1^{-+})$
in the reactions $\rho\pi\to\rho\pi$, $\rho\pi\to\eta\pi$,
$\rho\pi\to\eta'\pi$, $ \rho\pi\to(K^*\bar K+\bar K^*K)$, and in the related
ones, is constructed beyond the scope of the quark-gluon approach. The model
satisfies unitarity and analyticity and uses as a "priming" the anomalous
non-diagonal $VPPP$ interaction which couples together the four channels
$\rho\pi$, $\eta\pi$, $ \eta'\pi$, and $K^*\bar K+\bar K^*K$. The possibility
of the resonance-like behavior of the $I^G(J^{PC})=1^-(1^{-+})$ amplitudes
belonging to the $\{10\}- \{\bar{10}\}$ and $\{8\}$ representations of SU(3) as
well as their mixing is demonstrated explicitly in the 1.3--1.6 GeV mass range
which, according to the current experiments, is really rich in exotics.
- Final state interaction and a light mass "exotic" resonance
Steven D. Bass and Eugenio Marco
hep-ph/0108189
We investigate the possibility that the light-mass exotic mesons with
J^PC=1^-+ observed at BNL and CERN may be resonances in the eta-pi and eta'-pi
systems associated with the anomalous glue which generates the eta' mass in
QCD.
- Multi-GeV Gluonic Mesons
Philip R. Page
hep-ph/0107016
Lattice QCD gives reliable predictions for hybrid charmonium and multi-GeV
glueball masses. Proton-antiproton annihilation may offer an excellent
opportunity for the first observation of these states. There are two distinct
possible programs: The search for J^PC-exotic and non-J^PC-exotic states. The
latter program represents substantially higher cross sections and does not
absolutely require partial wave analysis, two very attractive features. The
program can be performed with a varying pbar energy <10 GeV and a fixed target.
- Light Vector Meson Spectroscopy
A Donnachie
hep-ph/0106197
The current situation for vector meson spectroscopy is outlined, and it is
shown that the data are inconsistent with the generally-accepted model for
meson decay. A possible resolution in terms of exotic (hybrid) mesons is given.
Although this hypothesis resolves some of the issues, fresh theoretical
questions are raised. It is argued that high-precision $e^+e^-$ annihilation
data provide an excellent laboratory for studying many aspects of
nonperturbative QCD.
- Role of Photoproduction in Exotic Meson Searches
Adam P. Szczepaniak and Maciej Swat
hep-ph/0105329
We discuss two production mechanisms of the $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ exotic meson,
hadroproduction, using pion beams and photoproduction.
We show that the ratio of exotic to non-exotic, in particular the $a_2$,
meson production cross sections is expected to be by a factor of 5 to 10
larger, in photoproduction then in hadroproduction. Furthermore we show that
the low-t photoproduction of exotic meson is enhanced as compared to hadronic
production. This findings support the simple quark picture in which exotic
meson production is predicted to be enhanced when the beam is a virtual $Q\bar
Q$ pair with a spin-1 (photon) rather then with a spin-0 (pion).
- Search for Gluonic Mesons in Gluon Jets
Peter Minkowski and Wolfgang Ochs
hep-ph/0102210
We present a short survey of the theoretical expectations on glueballs and
hybrids as well as of the present phenomenological status. The possibility to
obtain new information on gluonic mesons from the study of gluon jets in
comparison to quark jets is discussed.
- On the D^+ --> omega pi^+ decay
K. Terasaki
hep-ph/0102202
The D^+ --> omega + pi^+ decay is studied by decomposing its amplitude into a
sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. Its rate is predicted as a
function of mass and width of a hypothetical hybrid meson.
- Pseudovector mesons, hybrids and glueballs
Leonid Burakovsky and Philip R. Page
hep-ph/0007199
We consider glueball- (hybrid) meson mixing for the low-lying four
pseudovector states. The h_1'(1380) decays dominantly to K*K with some presence
in rho pi and omega eta. The newly observed h_1(1600) has a D- to S-wave width
ratio to omega eta which does not enable differentiation between a conventional
and hybrid meson interpretation. We predict the decay pattern of the isopartner
conventional or hybrid meson b_1(1650). A notably narrow s sbar partner
h_1'(1810) is predicted.

the exotic resonance state with $I^G(J^{PC})=1^-(1^{-+}))$ in the $\rho\pi$,
$ \eta\pi$, $\eta'\pi$, and $K^*\bar K+\bar K^*K$ channels
N.N. Achasov and G.N. Shestakov
hep-ph/0005161
A simple model for the exotic waves with $I^G(J^{PC})=1^-(1^{-+})$ in the
reactions $VP\to VP$, $VP\to PP$, and $PP\to PP$ is constructed beyond the
scope of the quark-gluon approach. The model satisfies unitarity and
analiticity and uses as "a priming" the "anomalous" non-diagonal $VPPP$
interaction which couples together the four channels $\rho\pi$, $\eta\pi$,
$\eta'\pi$, and $K^*\bar K+\bar K^*K$. The possibility of the resonance-like

current experimental evidence, is really rich in exotics.

- Hybrid Baryon Signatures
Philip R. Page
nucl-th/0004053
We discuss whether a low-lying hybrid baryon should be defined as a three
quark - gluon bound state or as three quarks moving on an excited adiabatic
potential. We show that the latter definition becomes exact, not only for very
heavy quarks, but also for specific dynamics. We review the literature on the
signatures of hybrid baryons, with specific reference to strong hadronic
decays, electromagnetic couplings, diffractive production and production in psi
decay.
- Light Meson Spectroscopy: Recent Developments and DAFNE
T. Barnes
hep-ph/0001326
In this contribution I discuss recent developments in light meson
spectroscopy, and note specific areas in which DAFNE is an especially
appropriate tool for future experiments. One topic of special relevance is the
spectroscopy of excited vector mesons; quite narrow vector hybrids are
predicted by the flux-tube model, which could be produced by DAFNE when
operating in the $M_{e^+e^-}\approx 1.5-2$ GeV range. A second topic, which
would be appropriate for a later date because it requires a rather higher beam
energy, is the production of C=(+) mesons in $\gamma\gamma$ collisions.
- Charge exchange $\rho^0 \pi^+ $ photoproduction and implications for
searches of exotic meson
Andrei V. Afanasev and Adam P. Szczepaniak
hep-ph/9910268
We analyze the process $\vec \gamma +p\to \rho^0 \pi^{+}n$ at low momentum
transfer focusing on a possibility of production of an exotic $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$
meson state. In particular we discuss polarization observables and conclude
that linear photon polarization is instrumental for separating of the exotic
wave.
- Photoproduction of Hybrid Mesons
T.Barnes
Invited contribution to Confinement III, CEBAF (8-12 June 1998)
nucl-th/9907020
In this contribution I discuss prospects for photoproducing hybrid mesons at
CEBAF, based on recent model results and experimental indications of possible
hybrids. One excellent opportunity appears to be a search for the I=1, JPC=2+-,
neutral "(b2)o" hybrid in (a2 pi)o through diffractive photoproduction. Other
notable possibilities accessible through pi+ or pio exchange photoproduction
are I=1, JPC=1-+, charged "pi1+" in f1 pi+, (b1 pi)+ and (rho pi)+; piJ(1770)+
in f2 pi+ and (b1 pi)+; pi(1800)+ in f0 pi+, f2 pi+, omega rho+ and (rho pi)+;
a1 in f1 pi+ and f2 pi+; and omega in (rho pi)o, omega eta and (K1 K)o.

Shi-Lin Zhu
hep-ph/9903537
The pionic coupling constants in the decays of the $1^{-+}$ hybrid meson are
calculated. The double Borel transformation is invoked and continuum
contribution is subtracted. The decay widths of the processes $1^{-+}\to
\rho\pi, f_1 \pi, \pi \gamma$ are around $40, 100, 0.3$ MeV respectively.
- Hunting the Vector Hybrid
A Donnachie, Yu S Kalashnikova
hep-ph/9901334
The current state of analysis of e+e- annihilation below 2.0 GeV and of the
vector component of tau decay is reviewed. The evidence for and against the
presence of hybrid vectors is discussed. It is concluded that the data strongly
favour their inclusion, and the consequences of this are outlined.

We study the production of charmonium hybrids
in B decays. We use the operator product expansion and nonrelativistic
QCD to organize the various contributions to this process. We express the
decay rate in terms of a few matrix elements which eventually will be fixed
by experimental measurements or calculated on the lattice. While the Fock
state expansion is problematic for hybrids, in that there is no perturbative
large mass limit, the operator product expansion still provides a model
independent framework for phenomenological calculations of hybrid production
and decay. We then use a simple flux tube model to estimate the branching
ratio B -> psi_g + X, where psi_g is a J^{PC}=0^{+-} hybrid, the large
production of which could help resolve the low charm multiplicity and semileptonic
branching ratio observed in B decays. We also investigate the possible
contributions of tensor charmonium production. We observe that it is unlikely
for either effect to be large enough to play a significant role in resolving
these problems.

DO 1- C ANTI-C G HYBRID MESON EXIST, DO THEY MIX WITH
CHARMONIUM?

Hybrid $ c \bar c g$ of quantum numbers $1^{--}$
are considered in a quark model with constituant quarks and gluon. The
lowest $J^P=1^-$ states may be built in two ways, $l_g=1$ (gluon excited)
corresponding to an angular momentum between the gluon and the $c \bar
c$ system, while $l_{c\bar c}=1$ (quark excited) corresponds to an angular
momentum between the $c$ and the $\bar c$. The lowest lying hybrid $J^P=1^-$
state in the flux tube model is similar to the $l_g=1$ in the quark-gluon
model. In particular it verifies the selection rule that it cannot decay
into two fundamental mesons. The $l_{q\bar q}=1$ hybrid may decay into
two fundamental mesons, but with decay widths larger than 1 GeV, which
tells that they do not really exist as resonant states. Using a chromoharmonic
potential, we find no mixing between the $l_g=1$ and $l_{c\bar c}=1$. More
realistic potentials might induce a strong mixing between them, implying
that no hybrid meson exist. If, on the contrary, such a strong mixing does
not occur, we find, in agreement with the flux tube model, that only the
$l_g=1$ appears as a real resonant state. In such a case, hybrid mesons
may exist as resonances only if they are decoupled from the ground state
channels, which explains the difficulty to observe them experimentally.
We reconsider accordingly the Ono-Close-Page scenario of mixing between
charmonium and charmed-hybrid to explain the anomalies around 4.1 GeV.
We find a very small mixing between radially excited charmonium and hybrid
mesons, which forbids considering the $\psi(4.040)$ and $\psi(4.160)$ as
combinations of 3S charmonium and $l_g=1$ hybrid meson with a large mixing.

SIGMA SIGNAL FOR HYBRID BARYON DECAY.

We develop an ansatze of the sigma enhancement
of the I=0, L=0 $\pi$-$\pi$ scattering amplitude as arising from a low-energy
glueball pole. Using this picture we estimate the $\pi^0\pi^0$ to $\pi^0$
branching ratio for the decays of the Roper resonance, which we previously
found to be a hybrid in our QCD sum rule calculation. We find that the
sigma decay might be a good signal for gluonic components of hadrons.

It has become traditional to assume that the
Dirac structure of the phenomenological quark confinement potential is
scalar $\otimes$ scalar. We use the heavy quark expansion of the Coulomb
gauge QCD Hamiltonian and the Flux Tube model to demonstrate that this
is true but in the effective sense only. The demonstration contains some
surprises: confinement is actually vector $\otimes$ vector and it is nonperturbative
mixing between ordinary and hybrid $Q \bar Q$ states which generates the
scalar-like spin dependent potential at order $1/m_q^2$. Thus the existence
of hybrids is crucial to establishing well-known spin splitting phenomenology.
Finally, the resolution also indicates that the gluonic degrees of freedom
in a hybrid must be of a collective nature.

DO PSI (4040), PSI (4160) SIGNAL HYBRID CHARMONIUM?

We suggest that $\psi$ (4040) and $\psi$ (4160)
are strong mixtures of ground state hybrid charmonium at $\sim 4.1$ GeV
and the $\psi (3S)$ of conventional charmonium. The $\Gamma^{e^+e^-}$,
masses and total widths of the $\psi(4040)$ and $\psi(4160)$ are in accord
with this hypothesis. Their hadronic decays are predicted to be dominated
by the $\psi (3S)$ component and hence are correlated. In particular we
find a spin counting relation $\Gamma (4160 \rightarrow D_sD_s^*) \sim
4 \Gamma (4040 \rightarrow D_sD_s)$ due to their common $\psi(3S)$ component.
For $D$ and $D^*$ production, using $\psi(4040)$ branching ratios as input,
we predict that the decay pattern of the $\psi(4160)$ will be very different
from that of the $\psi(4040)$. These predictions may be tested in historical
data from SPEAR, BES or at future Tau-Charm Factories.

Decay widths, branching ratios and production
dynamics of some recently discovered $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}, 0^{-+}$,$1^{--}$
and $2^{-+}$ mesons are found to be in remarkable agreement with the predicted
properties of hybrid mesons. We propose tests for this new dynamics, emphasise
the critical role of $\pi b_1$ or $\pi h_1$ decay channels in discriminating
hybrids from conventional states, and suggest that photoproduction may
offer special opportunities for isolation and confirmation of hybrids.

We introduce strong interaction selection
rules for the two-body decay and production of hybrid and conventional
mesons coupling to two S-wave hybrid or conventional mesons. The rules
arise from symmetrization in states in the limit of non-relativistically
moving quarks. The conditions under which hybrid coupling to S-wave states
is suppressed are determined by the rules, and the nature of their breaking
is indicated.

New experimental information on the non--exotic
J^{PC} = 0^{-+} isovector seen at 1.8 GeV by VES yields convincing evidence
of its excited gluonic (hybrid) nature when a critical study of alternative
quarkonium assignments is made in the context of ^3 P_0 decay by flux--tube
breaking. Production of this gluonic excitation via meson exchange is promising,
although its two photon production vanishes.

The status of non-perturbative QCD calculations
for mesons with gluonic excitation is presented. Lattice results for the
glueball spectrum are reviewed. For hybrid mesons, the heavy quark results
are summarised and new results are presented for light quarks. Preliminary
results for the spectrum of light-quark hybrid mesons indicate substantial
mixing with quark model states for non-exotic $J^{PC}$. For the exotic
$J^{PC}$ hybrid mesons, the $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$, $0^{+-}$ and $2^{+-}$ states
are explored.

I will review the current status of exotic
hadrons in the meson sector. There is currently strong evidence that a
scalar glueball mixed into the normal scalar mesons has been found. There
is also an interesting candidate for the tensor glueball state. Finally,
I will discuss hybrid mesons with explicitly exotic quantum numbers.
