  8. 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.

  9. X(1860) has large BR to ppbar • We (BES) measured: • From Crystal Ball result, we estimate: • So we would have: (This would be the largest BR to ppbar among all known mesons) Considering that decaying into ppbar is only from the tail of X(1860) and the phase space is very small, such a BR indicates X(1860) has large coupling to ppbar !

  10. pp bound state (baryonium)? There is lots & lots of literature about this possibility E. Fermi, C.N. Yang, Phys. Rev. 76, 1739 (1949) … I.S. Sharpiro, Phys. Rept. 35, 129 (1978) C.B. Dover, M.

Observations of this structure in other decay modes are desirable.

  12. Observation of X(1835) in X(1835) 5.1  phase space X(1835) 6.0  phase space

  13. Mass spectrum fitting The +- mass spectrum for  decaying into +- and   7.7

  14. Comparison of two decay modes • Mass and width from m=1827.48.1MeV/c2 , =54.234.5MeV/c2 • Mass and width from m=1836.37.9MeV/c2 , =70.323.1MeV/c2 • The mass, width and branching fractions obtained from two different decay modes are consistent with each other.

  15. Re-fit to J/p pbar 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)

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

  19. 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

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

  22. 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.

  23. 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. Phys.Rev. C71 (2005) 064001 Ecm – ( MΛ+MK ) (MeV)

  36. Summary (I) • A very narrow and strong mass threshold enhancement is observed in decays at BES II: • It is not observed in B decays. • 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 ppbar bound state.

  37. Summary (II) • mass threshold enhancement was observed in • Evidence of NX(1610) was observed near KΛ mass threshold, suggesting a KΛ bound or resonant state. • An  mass threshold enhancement f0(1810) was observed in J/   •  and  are observed at BESII

  40. Crystal Ball results on inclusive photon spectrum of J/psi decays

  41. The large BR to ppbar suggest it could be an unconventional meson • For a conventional qqbar meson, the BRs decaying into mesons are usually at least one order higher than decaying into baryons. • There are many examples in PDG. E.g. • So the large BR to ppbar (with limited phase space from the tail of X(1830)) seems very hard to be explained by a conventional qqbar meson.

  42. 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

  43. 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.

  44. In ppbar collision, the background is much larger (I) • J/ decays do not suffer large t-channel “background” as ppbar collision. >>

  45. In ppbar collision, the background is much larger (II) In ppbar elastic scattering, I=1 S-wave dominant, while in J/radiative decays I=0 S-wave dominant. ppbar elastic cross section near threshold I=1 S-wave P-wave I=0 S-wave A.Sibirtsev, J. Haidenbauer, S. Krewald, Ulf-G. Meißner, A.W. Thomas, Phys.Rev.D71:054010, 2005

  46. So, the mechanism in ppbar collision is quite different from J/ decays and the background is much smaller in J/ decaysIt would be very difficult to observe an I=0 S-wave ppbar bound state in ppbar collisions if it exists. J/ decays (in e+e- collider) have much cleaner environment:“JP, I” filter

  47. 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

  48. 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

  49. Pure FSI disfavored (II) I=0 S-wave FSI CANNOT fit the BES data.

  50. So, pure FSI is disfavored.However, we do not exclude the contribution from FSI.
