Hybrid: Theory
- Analysis of Exotic Hybrid eta pion, eta-prime pion Decays
Ailin Zhang and T. G. Steele
hep-ph/0410384
Investigations of the mass and decays of the exotic hybrid are reviewed,
including calculation of the pion1 to eta pion, eta-prime pion decay widths
within the QCD sum rules technique. In this calculation, the recently-proposed
eta, eta-prime quark mixing scheme is employed. The results indicate that the
decay width Gamma(pion1 to eta pion) around 250 MeV is large compared with the
decay width Gamma(pion1 to eta-prime pion) around 20 MeV. Inspired by these
results, some phenomenological approaches are suggested to gain an
understanding of the underlying mechanism of eta pion and eta-prime pion hybrid
decays.
- On the Glue Content in Heavy Quarkonia
Dieter Gromes
hep-ph/0304224
Starting with two coupled Bethe-Salpeter equations for the quark-antiquark,
and for the quark-glue-antiquark component of the quarkonium, we solve the
bound state equations perturbatively. The resulting admixture of glue can be
partially understood in a semiclassical way, one has, however, to take care of
the different use of time ordered versus retarded Green functions. Subtle
questions concerning the precise definition of the equal time wave function
arise, because the wave function for the Coulomb gluon is discontinuous with
respect to the relative time of the gluon. A striking feature is that a one
loop non abelian graph contributes to the same order as tree graphs, because
the couplings of transverse gluons in the tree graphs are suppressed in the non
relativistic bound state, while the higher order loop graph can couple to
quarks via non suppressed Coulomb gluons. We also calculate the amplitude for
quark and antiquark at zero distance in the quark-glue-antiquark component of
the P-state. This quantity is of importance for annihilation decays of
P-states. It shows a remarkable compensation between the tree graph and the non
abelian loop graph contribution. An extension of our results to include non
perturbative effects is possible.
- Adiabatic potentials and spectra of heavy hybrid mesons
Yu.S.Kalashnikova and D.S.Kuzmenko (ITEP, Moscow)
hep-ph/0302070
Using the QCD string approach the adiabatic potentials and spectra of b\bar
b-hybrid mesons are calculated. The results are compared to lattice studies.
- Hybrid Mesons Masses in a Quark-Gluon Constituent Model
Farida Iddir and Lahouari Semlala
hep-ph/0211289
QCD theory allows the existence of states which cannot be built by the naive
quark model; both theoretical arguments and experimental data confirm the
hypothesis that gluons may have freedom degrees at the constituent level, and
should be confined. In this work, we use a phenomenological potential motivated
by QCD (with some relativistic corrections) to determine the masses and the
wavefunctions of several hybrid mesons, within the context of a constituent
q-qbar-g model. We compare our estimates of the masses with the predictions of
other theoretical models and with the observed masses of candidates.
- Improved Determination of the Mass of the $1^{-+}$ Light Hybrid Meson
From QCD Sum Rules
H.Y. Jin, J.G. Korner, T.G. Steele
hep-ph/0211304
We calculate the next-to-leading order (NLO) $\alpha_s$-corrections to the
contributions of the condensates $<\alpha G^2>$ and $<\bar qq>^2$ in the
current-current correlator of the hybrid current
$g\barq(x)\gamma_{\nu}iF_{\mu\nu}^aT^aq(x)$ using the external field method in
Feynman gauge. After incorporating these NLO contributions into the Laplace
sum-rules, the mass of the $J^{PC}$=$1^{-+}$ light hybrid meson is recalculated
using the QCD sum rule approach. We find that the sum rules exhibit enhanced
stability when the NLO $\alpha_s$-corrections are included in the sum rule
analysis, resulting in a $1^{-+}$ light hybrid meson mass of approximately 1.6
GeV.
- Manifestations of anomalous glue: light-mass exotic mesons and the
eta-prime nucleon coupling constant
Steven D. Bass
hep-ph/0210018
The light-mass exotics with J^{PC}=1^{-+} observed at BNL and CERN may have a
simple explanation as dynamically generated resonances in eta-prime pi
rescattering in the final state interaction. This dynamics is mediated by the
same anomalous glue which also generates the large mass of the eta-prime. OZI
violating processes are also potentially important to eta-prime production in
proton-proton collisions close to threshold.
- Hybridgen: A Model for the Study of QCD Hybrid States
M.M. Brisudova, and T. Goldman
nucl-th/0209065
We study the mixing of excited states of a Hydrogen atom in a cavity with
de-excited states plus a confined photon as a model for the coupling of
quark-antiquark and quark-antiquark-gluon hybrid states in QCD. For an
interesting range of parameters, the results are analytic. We find a case for
which wavefunctions (and hence decay patterns) may be at odds with mass with
respect to identification of a state as hybrid or not.
- J^PC Exotic Mesons from the Bethe-Salpeter Equation
C.J. Burden and M.A. Pichowsky
hep-ph/0206161
Masses for vector 1--, axialvector 1+-, 1++, and exotic-vector 1-+ mesons are
calculated within a quantum field theoretic framework based on the
Dyson-Schwinger equations using a model form of the quark-antiquark interaction
that is separable. The model provides an excellent description of pion and
K-meson observables and the flavor-octet ground-state meson spectrum. With no
adjustments to model parameters, a numerical solution of the Bethe-Salpeter
equation yields two exotic 1-+ mesons with masses of 1439 and 1498 MeV.
- Decays of the $\hat\rho(1^{-+})$ Exotic Hybrid and $\eta$-$\eta'$ Mixing
Ailin Zhang and T.G. Steele
hep-ph/0204237
QCD sum-rules are used to calculate the $\hat\rho(1^{-+})\to\pi\eta,
\pi\eta'$ decay widths of the exotic hybrid in two different $\eta-\eta'$
mixing schemes.
In the conventional flavour octet-singlet mixing scheme, the decay widths are
both found to be small, while in the recently-proposed quark mixing scheme, the
decay width $\Gamma_{\hat\rho\to\eta\pi}\approx 250 MeV$ is large compared with
the decay width $\Gamma_{\hat\rho\to\eta^\prime\pi}\approx 20 MeV$. These
results provide some insight into $\eta$-$\eta'$ mixing and hybrid decay
features.
- Hybrid adiabatic potentials in the QCD string model
Yu.S.Kalashnikova, D.S.Kuzmenko
hep-ph/0203128
The short- and intermediate-distance behaviour of the hybrid adiabatic
potentials is calculated in the framework of the QCD string model. The
calculations are performed with the inclusion of Coulomb force. Spin-dependent
force and the so-called string correction term are treated as perturbation at
the leading potential-type regime. Reasonably good agreement with lattice
measurements takes place for adiabatic curves excited with magnetic components
of field strength correlators.
- QCD string model for hybrid adiabatic potentials
Yu.S.Kalashnikova and D.S.Kuzmenko
hep-ph/0110185
Hybrid adiabatic potentials are considered in the framework of the QCD string
model. The einbein field formalism is applied to obtain the large-distance
behaviour of adiabatic potentials. The calculated excitation curves are shown
to be the result of interplay between potential-type longitudinal and
string-type transverse vibrations. The results are compared with recent lattice
data.
- Quark-Hadron Duality for Hybrid Mesons at Large-Nc
S.R. Beane
hep-ph/0108025
We investigate implications of quark-hadron duality for hybrid mesons in the
large-Nc limit. A simple formalism is developed which implements duality for
QCD two-point functions of currents of quark bilinears, with any number of
gluons. We argue that the large-Nc meson masses share a common parameter, which
is related to the QCD string tension. This parameter is fixed from correlators
of conserved vector and axial-vector currents, and using lattice QCD
determinations of the string tension. Our results predict towers of hybrid
mesons which, within expected 1/Nc corrections, naturally accommodate the
1^(-+) experimental hybrid candidates.
- Effective String Theory of Vortices and Regge Trajectories of Hybrid
Mesons with Zero Mass Quarks
M. Baker and R. Steinke
hep-ph/0101255
We show how a field theory containing classical vortex solutions can be
expressed as an effective string theory of long distance QCD describing the two
transverse oscillations of the string. We use the semiclassical expansion of
this effective string theory about a classical rotating string solution to
obtain Regge trajectories for mesons with zero mass quarks. The first
semiclassical correction adds the constant 1/12 to the classical Regge formula
for the angular momentum of mesons on the leading Regge trajectory. In D
spacetime dimensions, this additive constant is (D-2)/24. The excited states of
the rotating string give rise to daughter Regge trajectories determining the
spectrum of hybrid mesons.
- The decay of the observed $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ (1400) and
$J^{PC}=1^{-+}$(1600) hybrid candidates
F. Iddir and A. S. Safir
hep-ph/0010121
We study the possible interpretation of the two exotic resonances $J^{PC}=
1^{-+}$ at 1400 and 1600 MeV, claimed to be observed by BNL, decaying
respectively into $\eta\pi$, $\eta'\pi$, $f_{1}\pi$ and $ \rho\pi$. These
objects are interpreted as hybrid mesons, in the quark-gluon constituent model
using a chromoharmonic confining potentiel. The quantum numbers $J^{PC}I^{G} = 1^{-+} 1^{-}$ can be considered in a
constituent model as an hybrid meson ($ q \bar q g$). The lowest $J^{PC}=
1^{-+}$states may be built in two ways : $l_{g}$=1 (gluon-excited)
corresponding to an angular momentum between the gluon and ($ q \bar q$)
system, while $l_{q \bar q}=1$ (quarks-excited) corresponds to an angular
momentum between $q$ and $\bar q$. For the gluon-excited mode $1^{-+}$ hybrids,
we find the decay dominated by the $b_{1}\pi$ channel, and by the $\rho \pi $
channel for the quark-excited mode. In our model, neither the quark-excited nor
the gluon-excited $1^{-+}$ (1400 MeV) hybrids can decay into $\eta\pi$ and
$\eta'\pi$, in contradiction with experiment. Hence, the 1400 MeV resonance
seems unlikely to be an hybrid state. The $1^{-+}$ (1600 MeV) gluon-excited
hybrid is predicted with too large a total decay width, to be considered as an
hybrid candidate. On the contrary the quark-excited mode has a total decay
width around 165 MeV, with a $\rho \pi $ preferred decay channel, in agreement
with BNL. Our conclusion is that {\it{this resonance may be considered as a
hybrid meson in the quark-excited mode}}
- Many-Body Coulomb Gauge Exotic and Charmed Hybrids
Felipe J. Llanes-Estrada and Stephen R. Cotanch
hep-ph/0008337
Utilizing a QCD Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian with linear confinement specified
by lattice, we report a relativistic many-body calculation for the light exotic
and charmed hybrid mesons. The Hamiltonian successfully describes both quark
and gluon sectors, with vacuum and quasiparticle properties generated by a BCS
transformation and more elaborate TDA and RPA diagonalizations for the meson
($q\bar{q}$) and glueball ($gg$) masses. Hybrids entail a computationally
intense relativistic three quasiparticle ($q\bar{q}g$) calculation with the 9
dimensional Hamiltonian matrix elements evaluated variationally by Monte Carlo
techniques. Our new TDA spectrum for the nonexotic $1^{--}$ charmed ($c\bar{c}$
and $c\bar{c}g$) system provides an explanation for the overpopulation of the
observed $J/\psi$ states. For the important $1^{-+}$ light exotic channel we
obtain hybrid masses above 2 $GeV$, in broad agreement with lattice and flux
tube models, indicating that the recently observed resonances at 1.4 and 1.6
$GeV$ are of different, perhaps four quark, structure.
- Radiative correction of the correlator for 1$^{-+}$ light hybrid
H.Y. Jin and J.G. K\"orner
hep-ph/0003202
We calculate the radiative corrections to the current-current correlator of
the hybrid current $g\bar q(x)\gamma_{\nu}iG_{\mu\nu}^aT^aq(x)$. Based on this
new result we use the QCD sum rule approach to estimate lower bounds on the
masses of the $J^{PC}$=$1^{-+}$ and $0^{++}$ light hybrids.
- Light Hybrid Mesons in QCD
K.G. Chetyrkin and Stephan Narison
hep-ph/0003151
Including the radiative perturbative corrections and the short distance
tachyonic gluon mass effects which mimic the ones of UV renormalons, we
re-estimate the decay amplitudes, masses and widths of light hybrid mesons from
QCD spectral sum rules. We show that the effects are tiny and confirm the
previous lowest order results. We discuss the phenomenological impacts of our
results for the vector hybrids.
- Exact symmetry of large N_c QCD
Philip R. Page
hep-ph/9911301
QCD and QED exhibit an infinite set of three-point Green's functions that
contain only OZI rule violating contributions, and (for QCD) vanish exactly in
the large N_c limit. This is due to symmetrization, do not follow from any
Lagrangian symmetry, and constitutes the discovery of a new symmetry principle
in QCD and QED. We prove that the amplitude for a neutral hybrid
{1,3,5...}^{-+} exotic current to create eta pi0 vanishes exactly for QCD in
the large N_c limit. Crystal Barrel's experimental claim of a resonant 1^{-+}
decaying to eta pi0 suggests that the 1^{-+} is not a hybrid meson.
- QCD and Topics in Hadron Physics
Yu.A.Simonov
hep-ph/9911237
Nonperturbative QCD approach is systematically derived starting from the QCD
Lagrangian. Treating spin effects as a perturbation, one obtains the universal
effective Hamiltonian describing mesons, hybrids and glueballs.
Constituent mass of quark and gluon is calculated via string tension. The
resulting spectrum of mesons, hybrids and glueballs obtained is in good overall
agreement with lattice data and experiment.
- Gluonia, Scalar and Hybrid Mesons in QCD
Stephan Narison
hep-ph/9909470
For some experimental guidelines of the next millenium, I review the
determinations of the masses, decays and mixings of the gluonia, scalar and
hybrid mesons from QCD spectral sum rules and low-energy theorems, and compare
them with the lattice.
- Heavy Hybrids in QCD effective theories
Nora Brambilla
hep-ph/9909211
We present model independent predictions on the short range behavior of the
energies of the gluonic excitations between static quarks (hybrid potentials)
in an effective field theory framework (pNRQCD).
- Potential NRQCD: an effective theory for heavy quarkonium
N. Brambilla, A. Pineda, J. Soto and A. Vairo
hep-ph/9907240
Within an effective field theory framework we study heavy-quark--antiquark
systems with a typical distance between the heavy quark and the antiquark
smaller than $1/\Lambda_{\rm QCD}$. A suitable definition of the potential is
given within this framework, while non-potential (retardation) effects are
taken into account in a systematic way. We explore different physical systems.
Model-independent results on the short distance behavior of the energies of the
gluonic excitations between static quarks are obtained. Finally, we show how
infrared renormalons affecting the static potential get cancelled in the
effective theory.

On Valence Gluons in Heavy Quarkonia

Talk at the XIth International Conference

Professor D.I. Blokhintsev, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, Dubna,
Russia, July 13-17, 1998
hep-ph/9812509
To include the explicit valence gluon degrees of freedom into spectroscopy of
the lowest states of heavy quarkonia, we consider, within an adiabatic model,
the properties of the lowest hybrid $\bar{Q}Qg$-mesons and estimate the effects
of their mixing with low-lying vector $\bar{c}c$-charmonia. The perspectives of
compatibility of the resulting picture with data are discussed.
- The decay of heavy-light hybrids in HQET sum rules
Tao Huang, Hongying Jin, Ailin Zhang
hep-ph/9812430
The decay widths of the $0^{++}$ and $1^{-+}$ heavy-light hybrids to B(D) and pion are calculated by using the
QCD sum rules. The interpolated current of the hybrid is chosen as $g\bar q\gamma_{\alpha}G_{\alpha\mu}^aT^ah_{\it
v}(x)$. In order to avoid the infrared problem, a two point correlation function between the pion and vacuum instead of
the three point correlation function between the vacuum is used. We also keep the leading order of $1/M_Q$ expansion
in our calculation for convenience. The decay width of the first type is $1\sim 2$ MeV while the second type is several
hundred KeV.

Hybrid quarkonium masses up to the order of ${\cal O}(1/m_Q)$
Shi-Lin Zhu (Institue of Theoretical Physics, Academia Sinica,
Beijing)
hep-ph/9812469
We have calculated the binding energy of the hybrid quarkonium up to the
order of ${\cal O}(1/m_Q)$ and found their decay constants scale like
$m_Q^{5/4}$ as $m_Q\to \infty$. The $0^{--}$ and $0^{++}$ hybrid quarkonium is
exactly degenerate in the limit of $m_Q\to\infty$ while the ${\cal O}(1/m_Q)$
correction renders the $0^{--}$ mass lower than that for $0^{++}$. The $1^{-+}$
and $1^{+-}$ hybrid is nearly degenerate and lies 0.7 GeV lower than $0^{--}$.
With $m_b=4.8$GeV the mass of $1^{-+}$ $b\bar b g$ state is $(10.75\pm 0.10)$,
which is the lightest exotic hybrid quarkonium.

Heavy Hybrid Meson Masses derived from QCD sum rules in Heavy Quark

QCD sum rules are derived for the heavy hybrid mesons with one heavy quark
and $J^{PC}=1^{-+}, 0^{++}, 1^{+-}, 0^{--}$ in the leading order of heavy quark
effective theory. We obatin the binding energy $\Lambda_H =(1.1\pm 0.1),
(1.51\pm 0.10), (1.28\pm 0.10), (1.5\pm 0.1)$ GeV and decay constant $f_H
=(0.205\pm 0.02), (0.415\pm 0.04), (0.217\pm 0.02), (0.317\pm 0.03)
$GeV$^{{7\over 2}}$ for $1^{-+}, 0^{++}, 1^{+-}, 0^{--}$ respectively when the
light quark is up or down quark. In all the four channels the binding energy is
0.13 GeV larger when the light quark is strange quark.

The relativistic four-quark equations are found in the framework of the
dispersion relation technique. The solutions of these equations using the
method based on the extraction of leading singularities of the amplitudes are
obtained. The mass spectrum values of lowest hybrid mesons are calculated.
- The $0^{++}$ and $0^{-+}$ mass of light-quark hybrid in QCD sum rules
Tao Huang, Hongying Jin, Ailin Zhang
hep-ph/9809331
We calculate masses of the light-quark hybrid mesons with the quantum number
$0^{++}$ and $0^{-+}$ by using the QCD sum rules. Two kinds of the interpolated
currents with the same quantum number are employed. We find that the
approximately equal mass is predicted for the $0^{-+}$ hybrid state from the
different current and the different mass is obtained for the $0^{++}$ hybrid
state from the different current. The prediction depends on the interaction
between the gluon and quarks in the low-lying hybrid mesons. The mixing effect
on the mass of the light-quark hybrid meson through Low-energy theorem has been
examined too, and it is found that this mixing shifts the mass of hybrid meson
and glueball a little.

Hybrid meson energies are calculated in the static quark
limit with the Dynamical Quark Model (DQM). In the DQM, transverse gluons
are represented as effective constituents with a dynamically generated
mass. Hybrid masses are determined within the Tamm-Dancoff approximation
for the resulting relativistic Salpeter equation. The model calculation
agrees quite well with recent lattice data. The successes and shortcomings
of the model provide clear indications about the nature of glue at low
energy.

Exotic mesons with quantum numbers of a hybrid

We calculate the strong decays of hybrid mesons to conventional
mesons for all the lowest lying J^PC hybrids of flavour uu, dd, ss, cc
and bb. A decay operator developed from the heavy quark expansion of quantum
chromodynamics is employed. We show that the selection rule that hybrid
mesons do not decay to identical S-wave mesons, found in other models,
is preserved. We predict decays of charmonium hybrids, discuss decays of
J^PC=1^-+ exotic isovector hybrids of various masses, and interpret the
\pi(1800) as a hybrid meson.

The heavy quark expansion of Quantum Chromodynamics and the strong
coupling flux tube picture of nonperturbative glue are employed to develop the
phenomenology of hybrid meson decays. The decay mechanism explicitly couples gluonic
degrees of freedom to the pair produced quarks and hence does not obey the well known,
but model-dependent, selection rule which states that hybrids do not decay to pairs
of L=0 mesons. However, the nonperturbative nature of gluonic excitations in the flux
tube picture leads to a new selection rule: light hybrids do not decay to pairs of
identical mesons. New features of the model are highlighted and partial widths are
presented for several low lying hybrid states.

We present results from analytical and numerical studies
of a flux tube model of hybrid mesons. Our numerical results use a Hamiltonian
Monte Carlo algorithm and so improve on previous analytical treatments,
which assumed small flux tube oscillations and an adiabatic separation
of quark and flux tube motion. We find that the small oscillation approximation
is inappropriate for typical hadrons and that the hybrid mass is underestimated
by the adiabatic approximation. For physical parameters in the ``one-bead"
flux tube model we estimate the lightest hybrid masses (${}_\Lambda L =
{}_1 P$ states) to be 1.8-1.9~GeV for $u\bar u$ hybrids, 2.1-2.2~GeV for
$s\bar s$ and 4.1-4.2~GeV for $c\bar c$. We also determine masses of conventional
$q\bar q$ mesons with $L=0$ to $L=3$ in this model, and confirm good agreement
with experimental $J$-averaged multiplet masses. Mass estimates are also
given for hybrids with higher orbital and flux-tube excitations. The gap
from the lightest hybrid level (${}_1P$) to the first hybrid orbital excitation
(${}_1D$) is predicted to be $\approx 0.4$~GeV for light quarks $(q=u,d)$
and $\approx 0.3$~GeV for $q=c$. Both ${}_1P$ and ${}_1D$ hybrid multiplets
contain the exotics $1^{-+}$ and $2^{+-}$; in addition the ${}_1P$ has
a $0^{+-}$ and the ${}_1D$ contains a $3^{-+}$. Hybrid mesons with doubly-excited
flux tubes are also considered. The implications of our results for spectroscopy
are discussed, with emphasis on charmonium hybrids, which may be accessible
at facilities such as BEPC, KEK, a Tau-Charm Factory, and in $\psi$ production
at hadron colliders.

An analytic calculation of the breaking of excited chromoelectric
flux-tubes is performed in an harmonic oscillator approximation and applied
to predict the dynamics of all $J^{PC}$ low-lying gluonic excitations of
mesons (hybrids). Widths, branching ratios and production dynamics of some
recently discovered $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}, 0^{-+}$ and $1^{--}$ mesons are found
to be in remarkable agreement with these results. We introduce the selection
rules that can be used to understand the systematics of numerical decay
calculations and we find possible significant breaking of these rules for
specific channels that may enable enhanced production and detection of
hybrids.

that during hadronization the creation of hybrids will predominate over
the creation of mesons, giving a novel signature of the existence of QGP.
At T = 0 the $(q\bar{q}g)$ hybrids are known to decay strongly into a pair
of mesons. We find that at temperatures relevant to the QGP, this channel
is forbidden. This would lead to significant modifications of the photonic
signals of the QGP.

A new formalism is developed for the two photon production
of hybrid mesons via intermediate hadronic decays. In an adiabatic and
non-relativistic context with spin 1 pair creation we obtain the first
absolute estimates of unmixed hybrid production strengths to be small (0.03
- 3 eV) in relation to experimental meson widths (0.1 - 5 keV). Within
this context, two photon experiments at Babar, Cleo II, LEP2 and LHC therefore
strongly discriminate between hybrid and conventional meson wave function
components, filtering out conventional meson components. Decay widths of
unmixed hybrids vanish. Conventional meson two photon widths are roughly
in agreement with experiment.

We consider hybrid states with heavy quarks in the frame
of recently proposed constituent gluon model. Limiting regimes for model
Hamiltonian are discussed. It is shown that these regimes match smoothly,
hence predictions of the model are definite enough. We predict lowest $c
\bar c g$ hybrids at $4.1 \pm 0.1$ GeV and $b \bar b g$ hybrids at $10.5
\pm 0.1$ GeV. Regge-trajectories for hybrids are derived from the formalism.
Experimental aspects of our predictions are discussed
