Hadron Physics at RHIC Su Houng Lee Yonsei Univ., Korea • Introduction for Exotics • Hadron production in HIC • Exotics from RHIC Thanks to: Former collegues and students Present students: Y. Park, Y. Sarac, Y. Heo, K. Kim Post doc: K. Ohnishi
Definition of Exotics • Hadrons that can not be explained by quark-antiquark, or 3 quarks • That are bound by strong interaction • Reasons for its search are similar to that for superheavy Element in low energy nuclear Physics • Understand QCD sQGP
Experiment - First claim 1. LEPS coll., Nakano et.al. PRL 91 012002 (2003) Mass= 1.54 GeV , width <25 MeV , quark content= uudds
Experiment - Recent claim In Carbon target , but
Positive results Negative results Recent CLAS experiments find no Q+ in g+d or g+p Give up, more experiment or theoretical guideline?
Theory : prediction (Diakanov, Petrov, Polyakov 97) 1. SU(3) soliton I=J Hedghog 2. Quantizing the 8 angles, the Hamiltonian becomes
3. With constraint coming from WZ term 1. only SU(3) representations containing Y=1 are allowed moreover, the number of states 2I+1 at S=0 or Y= Nc/3 must determine the spin of the representation through 2J+1 because I=J in the SU(2) soliton one spin state for given representation 4. Diakanov Petrov Polyakov applied it toAnti-decuplet which predicted MQ= 1540, GQ=30 MeV
Theory: why it can be wrong (T. Cohen) 1. Soliton picture is valid at large Nc: Semi-classical quantization is valid for slow rotation: ie. Valid for describing excitations of order 1/N_c, so that it does not mix and breakdown with vibrational modes of order 1 2. Lowest representation SU(3)f (p,q)at large Nc Quantization constraint requires • Octet • Decuplet • Anti decuplet • (lowest representation containing s=1)
3. Mass splitting in large Nc: Anit decuplet octet mass splitting is mixes with vibrational mode and inconsistent with original assumption and has undetermined correction of same order Rotation is too fast and may couple to vibrational modes, which might be important to excite q qbar mode, hence describing anti decuplet state with naive soliton quantization might be wrong

Color Spin Interaction in QCD 1. In QCD q-q are also attractive if in color anti-triplet channel. In perturbative QCD, 2CB=CM This term is called color spin interaction
Color spin interaction explains hadron spectrum u u d Nucleon Baryon Mass difference Meson Mass difference Works very well with 3CB=CM = constant

Where to search: Baryonic decay mode of B+ decay in hadronic language Larger By Nc
Pentaquark decay mode of B+ Weak decay Branching ratio is 0.092 Qc lower limit in B-factory Can search for it in Belle S.H.Lee. Y. Kown. Y. Kwon , PRL (06) Using pevious fit, we find the branching ratio to be 14.4x10-7 gDpL x gKpQ/gKpL

Statistical model = quark coalescence + overlap Explicit example Exotic production in HIC will follow statistical model modified only by the wave function overlap integral and hadronic phase

Summary • While controvery exist over light pentaquark, Many Theories consistently predict bound heavy pentaquark 2. Quark model also predict metastable tetraquark • RHIC can be a very useful exotic factory If found the first exotic ever, will tell us about QCD and dense matter color superconductivity
