  1. Scalar & Pseudoscalar Glueballs Hai-Yang Cheng (鄭海揚) Academia Sinica, Taipei May 25, 2012 University of Science & Technology of China

  2. Glueball: color-singlet bound state of gluons as gluons have a self coupling Y. Chen et al. PR, D73, 014516 (2006) Lightest glueballs in pure YM theory: JPG=0++ 17105080 MeV JPG=2++ 239030120 MeV JPG=0-+ 2560±35±120 MeV What is the effect of quark degrees of freedom on glueballs ? • Glueball will mix with qq states so that a pure glueball does not exist in nature • Mass of 0-+ glueball could be drastically affected

  4. Scalar Mesons (JPC=0++)

  5. Scalar glueball • Three isosinglet scalars f0(1370), f0(1500), f0(1710) are observed, only • two of them can be accommodated in qq QM  glueball content • f0(1370) & f0(1500) decay mostly to 2 & 4, while f0(1710) mainly into • KK  f0(1370), f0(1500) are nn states, ss state for f0(1710) Amsler & Close (’95) claimed f0(1500) discovered at LEAR as an evidence for a scalar glueball because its decay to ,KK,,’ is not compatible with a simple qq picture. Amsler’s argument (’02) against a qq interpretation of f0(1500): Let |f0(1500)> = |N>cos - |S>sin Non-observation of f0(1500) in  reaction demands  75o and hence ss dominance. This contradicts nn picture  f0(1500) is not a qq state

  6. f0(1500): dominant scalar glueball  1550 MeV [Bali et al. ’93, Amsler et al. ’95] f0(1710):  is suppressed relative to KK  primarily ss dominated f0(1370): KK is suppressed relative to   dominated by nn states G ss nn Amsler, Close, Kirk, Zhao, He, Li,… MS>MG>MN MG  1500 MeV, MS-MN  200-300 MeV

  7. Difficulties with this model: • Near degeneracy of a0(1450) and K0*(1430) cannot be explained due to the mass difference between MS and Mn • If f0(1710) is ss dominated, [J/f0(1710)] = 6 [J/f0(1710)] [Close, Zhao] BES  [J/f0(1710)] = (3.31.3) [J/ f0(1710)] • J/→gg and the two gluons couple strongly to glueball ⇒ If f0(1500) is primarily a glueball, it should be seen in “glue-rich” radiative J/ decay, namely, J/  f0(1500) >> J/ f0(1710) BES  [J/  f0(1710)] > 4 [J/ f0(1500)] • If f0(1500) is composed mainly of glueball, then the ratio • R=(f0(1500))/(f0(1500)KK) = 3/4 flavor blind • < 3/4 for chiral suppression • Rexpt(f0(1500))=4.10.4, Rexpt(f0(1710))=0.41+0.11-0.17 • Tension with LQCD

  8. Lattice calculations for scalar glueballs • Quenched LQCD: JPC=0++glueball in pure YM theory • Morningstar, Peardon (’99): 1750 50 80 MeV • Lee, Weingarten (’00): 1648 58 MeV • Y. Chen et al. (’06) : 1710 50  80 MeV • Full QCD (unquenched): glueballs mix with quarks; no pure glueball • UKQCD (’10): ~ 1.83 GeV • Glueball spectrum is not significantly affected by quark degrees • of freedom

  9. Other scenarios: Lee, Weingarten (lattice): f0(1710) glueball ; f0(1500) ss ; f0(1370) nn Burakovsky, Page: f0(1710) glueball, but Ms-MN=250 MeV Giacosa et al. ( Lagrangian): 4 allowed sloutions PDG (2006): p.168 “Experimental evidence is mounting that f0(1500) has considerable affinity for glue and that the f0(1370) and f0(1710) have large uu+dd and ss components, respectively.” PDG (2008), PDG (2010): “The f0(1500), or alternatively, the f0(1710) have been proposed as candidates for the scalar glueball.”

  10. Based on two simple inputs for mass matrix, Keh-Fei Liu, Chun-Khiang Chua and I have studied the mixing with glueball : • approximate SU(3) symmetry in scalar meson sector (> 1GeV) a0(1450), K0*(1430), Ds0*(2317), D0*(2308)  MS should be close to MN a feature confirmed by LQCD LQCD  K0*(1430)=1.41±0.12 GeV, a0*(1450)=1.42±0.13 GeV  near degeneracy of K0*(1430) and a0(1450) This unusual behavior is not understood and it serves as a challenge to the existing QM and lattice QCD • glueball spectrum from quenched LQCD MG before mixing should be close to 1700 MeV Mathur et al.

  11. Mathur et al. hep-ph/0607110 1.420.13 GeV a0(1450) mass is independent of quark mass when mq ms 11 11

  12. uu dd ss G x: quark-antiquark annihilation y: glueball-quarkonia mixing first order approximation: exact SU(3)  MU=MD=MS=M, x=xs=xss, ys=y a0 octet singlet G • y=0, f0(1710) is a pure glueball, f0(1370) is a pure SU(3) singlet with mass = M+3x ⇒ x = -33 MeV • y 0, slight mixing between glueball & SU(3)-singlet qq. For |y| | x|, mass shift of f0(1370) & f0(1710) due to mixing is only  10 MeV  In SU(3) limit, MG is close to 1700 MeV

  13. Chiral suppression in scalar glueball decay If f0(1710) is primarily a glueball, how to understand its decay to PP ? If G→PP coupling is flavor blind, chiral suppression: A(G→qq)  mq/mG in chiral limit Carlson et al (’81); Cornwall, Soni (’85); Chanowitz (’07) Chiral suppression at hadron level should be not so strong perhaps due to nonperturbative chiral symmetry breaking and hadronization [Chao, He, Ma] : mq is interpreted as chiral symmetry breaking scale [Zhang, Jin]: instanton effects may lift chiral suppression LQCD [ Sexton, Vaccarino, Weingarten (’95)] 

  14. In absence of chiral suppression (i.e. g=gKK=g), the predicted f0(1710) width is too small (< 1 MeV) compared to expt’l total width of 13718 MeV importance of chiral suppression in GPP decay Consider two different cases of chiral suppression in G→PP: (i) (ii) Scenario (ii) with larger chiral suppression is preferred

  15. Amseler-Close-Kirk : primarily a glueball : tends to be an SU(3) octet : near SU(3) singlet + glueball content ( 13%) blue: nn red: ss green: G MN=1474 MeV, MS=1498 MeV, MG=1666 MeV, MG>MS>MN • MS-MN 25 MeV is consistent with LQCD result  near degeneracy of a0(1450), K0*(1430), f0(1500) • Because nn content is more copious than ss in f0(1710), (J/f0(1710)) = 4.1 ( J/ f0(1710)) versus 3.31.3 (expt) • (J/ f0(1710)) >> (J/f0(1500)) in good agreement with expt. [J/→f0(1710)] > 4[J/→f0(1500)] 15

  16. Scalar glueball in radiative J/ decays • LQCD: • Meyer (0808.3151): Br(J/G0)  910-3 • Y. Chen et al. (lattice 2011): Br(J/G0) = (3.60.7)10-3 BES measurements: G.S. Huang (FPCP2012) G.S. Huang (FPCP2012) Using Br(f0(1710) KK)=0.36  Br[J/f0(1710)]= 2.410-3 Br(f0(1710))= 0.15  Br[J/f0(1710)]= 2.710-3

  17. It is important to revisit & check chiral suppression effects • Chiral suppression in LQCD [Sexton, Vaccarino, Weingarten (’95)]: (0++)=108  28 MeV If chiral suppression in scalar glueball decays is confirmed, it will rule out f0(1500) and (600) as candidates of 0++ glueballs • (f0(1500))/(f0(1500)KK)= 4.10.4 >> ¾ • ()  600-1000 MeV: very broad

  18. Pseudoscalar glueball Hsiang-nan Li, Keh-Fei Liu, HYC Phys. Rev. D 79, 014024 (2009)

  19. 1980: J/  + resonance (1.44 GeV) was seen by MarK II and identified as E(1420) [now known as f1(1420)] first discovered at CERN in 1963. Renamed the ¶(1440) by Crystal Ball & Mark II in 1982 1981: (1440) was proposed to be a pseudoscalar glueball by Donoghue, Johnson; Chanowitz; Lacaze, Navelet,… 2005: BES found a resonance X(1835) in J/+-’ 2006: X(1835) as an 0-+ glueball by Kochelev, Min; Li; He, Li, Liu, Ma • It is commonly believed that (1440) now known as (1405) is a leading candidate of G • Br[J/(1405)]  O(10-3) larger than J/(1295), (2225) •  KK, : (1475) in KK was seen, but (1405) in  was not Expt’l review: Masoni, Cicalo, Usai, J. Phys. G32, 293 (2006) 19

  20. Pseudoscalar glueball interpretation of (1405) is also supported by the flux-tube model (Faddeev et al.), but not favored by most of other calculations: LQCD ⇒  2.6 GeV [Chen et al; Morningstar, Peardon;UKQCD] QCDSR ⇒ mG > 1.8 GeV QM ⇒ 2.62 GeV > mG > 2.22 GeV All yield m(0++) < m(0-+) 20

  21. -’-G mixing Consider flavor basis q=(uu+dd)/√2, s=ss. In absence of U(1) anomaly, q & s mix only through OZI-violating effects Extend Feldmann-Kroll-Stech (FKS) mechanism of -’ mixing to include G, where  =  + 54.7o, G is the mixing angle between G and 1 (8 is assumed not to mix with glueball). Mixing matrix depends only on  and G 21

  22. Applying EOM: Six equations for many unknowns. We need to reply on large Nc rules (’t Hooft) 22

  23. To leading order in 1/Nc, keep fq,s, neglect fq,sg, fsq,fqs keep mqq2  m2, mss2  2mK2-m2, neglect other mass terms KLOE analysis of ’,  ⇒  = (40.4±0.6)o, G=(20 ±3)0 for fs/fq=1.3520.007 mG=(1.4±0.1) GeV This result for mG is stable against OZI corrections

  24. Is this compatible with LQCD which implies mG > 2GeV ? Lattice results are still quenched so far. It has been noticed that mG in full QCD with dynamic fermions is substantially lower than that in quenched approximation [Cabadadze (1998)] Contrary to the mainstream, we conjecture that pseudoscalar glueball is lighter than the scalar one due to dynamic fermion or axial anomaly. It is important to have a full lattice QCD calculation quenched unquenched

  25. supported by an analysis based on chiral Lagrangian with instanton effects, a solution for UA(1) problem • [Song He, Mei Huang, Qi-Shu Yan, arXiv:0903.5032] • Xin Liu, H.n. Li, Z.J. Xiao argued that B J/Ã(‘) decays imply large G content in ’ arXiv:1205.1214 -’-G mixing yields Data can be accommodated with G 30o

  26. Conclusions Conclusions • We use two simple & robust results to constrain mixing matrix of f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710): (i) empiric SU(3) symmetry in scalar meson sector > 1 GeV, (ii) scalar glueball mass  1700 MeV • Exact SU(3) ⇒ f0(1500) is an SU(3) octet, f0(1370) is an SU(3) singlet with small mixing with glueball. This feature remains to be true even when SU(3) breaking is considered • We use two simple & robust results to constrain mixing matrix of f0(1370), f0(1500) and f0(1710): (i) empiric SU(3) symmetry in scalar meson sector > 1 GeV, (ii) scalar glueball mass  1700 MeV • Exact SU(3) ⇒ f0(1500) is an SU(3) octet, f0(1370) is an SU(3) singlet with small mixing with glueball.

A full lattice QCD calculation is needed. 26
