1. The role of the tetraquark at nonzero temperature Francesco Giacosa in collaboration with A. Heinz, S. Strüber, D. H. Rischke ITP, Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main Hadrons@Fias- 26/6/08

2. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest • Outline • Scalar mesons below and above 1 GeV at zero T • Light scalar mesons (< 1 GeV) as tetraquark states and tetraquark-quarkonia mixing • A chiral model with pions, light scalar quark-antiquark and tetraquark states • Description of the model at zero T, quark and tetraquark condensates and mixing • Results at nonzero temperature • Order of the phase transition, behavior of the condensates and mixing angle, role interchange

3. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Part I Spectroscopy in the vacuum

4. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Scalar resonances below 1.8 GeV reported by PDG: M < 1 GeV 1 GeV < M < 1.8 GeV Too many resonances than expected from quark-antiquark states

5. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest M < 1 GeV interpretation Chiral partner of ? Assignment has problems!!!

6. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest List of Problems • Masses: degeneracy of and • Strong coupling of to • The scalar quarkonia are p-wave states (L = S = 1), thus expected to be heavier than 1 GeV as tensor and axial-vector mesons • Some Lattice results find • Large behavior of light scalar not compatible with quarkonia from: Prelovsek et al., Phys. Rev. D 70 (2004), Burch et al., Phys. Rev. D 73 (2006) from: Pelaez, Phys. Rev. Lett. (2004), Pelaez and Rios, hep-ph/0610397

7. An example of „good diquark” is: (and not ) Example: Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Idea of Jaffe (R.L. Jaffe, Phys. Rev. D 15 (1977)) : The light scalars are interpeted as tetraquark state A tetraquark is the bound state of two diquarks

8. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest M < 1 GeV Tetraquark interpretation It is not the chiral partner of !

9. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest M > 1 GeV interpretation Chiral partner of ! Mixing among the isoscalars is expected

10. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Indeed, mixing will occur, thus the scenario changes slightly as: M < 1 GeV 1 GeV < M < 1.8 GeV Chiral partner of ! Not the chiral partner of ! These arepredominantly tetraquarks (but not only!) These are predominantlyquarkonia (with glueball-intrusion) (but not only!)

11. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Part II A chiral model with tetraquark

12. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest How does this scenario affect finite temperature behavior? We study this issue in the SU(2) limit within a simple model: Mixing shall play a crucial role:

13. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest A simple chiral model with tetraquark (F.G.,Phys.Rev.D75:054007,2007) It emerges as an SU(2) limit of the SU(3) case (A. Heinz, S. Strüber, F. G. and D. H. Rischke: arXiv:0805.1134 [hep-ph] )

14. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest One must therefore diagonalize the model introducing the mass eigenstates

15. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest That is, the fields H and S, corresponding to the two physical resonances, are introduced in order to diagonalize the potential:

16. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Part III Results at nonzero T

17. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest We study this model at nonzero T by using the CJT formalism In the Hartree approximation. (Only double-bubble diagrams aretaken into account) A. Heinz, S. Strüber, F. G. and D. H. Rischke: arXiv:0805.1134 [hep-ph] Details in:

20. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Quark condensate (order parameter) as function of T for different values of g for MS = 1.0 GeV • Increasing of g (mixing): • Tc decreases • First order softened • Cross-over obtained for g large enough

21. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Similar discussion as before 0805.1134 [hep-ph]

22. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest We now turn to one specific case: We study for this set of parameters all the temperature-dependent quantitites: masses, mixing angle and condensates.

23. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Finite Temperature behavior of quark and tetraquark condensates: This property depends on the characteristics of the model. However, It does not influence other quantities 0805.1134 [hep-ph]

24. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Finite Temperature behavior of masses and angles: Two ‘critical temperatures’: The mixing angle grows with T up to the Maximal value. Then, it changes sign at Ts and becomes negative. (Second change at higher T) 0805.1134 [hep-ph]

25. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Summary and outlook • Spectroscopy of light scalars at zero T: if the light scalars are not quark-antiquark, how does chiral restoration change? • Description of a model with pions, scalar quark-antiquark and tetraquark. Mixing at zero T: f0(600) is predominantly tetraquark and f0(1370) pred. quark-antiquark • Tetraquark-quarkonium mixing implies: (i) decreasing of the critical temperature, (ii) softer first order, and, if the mixing is large enough, cross over. The latter can be obtained also for a mass of the chiral partner above 1 GeV • The mixing increases with T. At a certain Ts the mixing angle is maximal and a role interchange takes place. Then, chiral restoration takes place in the standard form. • This was the first step! One shall go further and include more resonances.

D 64(2001), F.G., Phys.Rev.D 75,(2007) • Extension of the model: ; consider scalar and pseudoscalar quarkonia meson and scalar tetraquark states Spontaneous symmetry breaking takes place, but no need to specify the potential. The pions emerge as Golstone bosons..

35. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest decay mixing tq-condensate

36. Francesco Giacosa Scalar Quest Result in the isovector sector One relates the tetraquark-decay parameters to the mixing strenght by using the decay widths of PDG; then, one can evaluate the mixing: The mixing is small !!!
