  5. Flux Tubes Flux Tubes & Confinement Color Field: Because of self interaction, confining flux tubes form between static color charges Notion of flux tubes comes about from model-independent general considerations. Idea originated with Nambu in the ‘70s http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  6. Early Flux Tubes http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  7. Lattice QCD Flux tubes realized Confinement arises from flux tubes andtheir excitation leads to a new spectrum of mesons http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  8. Normal Mesons q q Not allowed: exotic combinations: q q JPC = 0+- 1-+ 2+- … Normal mesons occur when the flux tube is in its ground state Spin/angular momentum configurations & radial excitations generate our know spectrum of light quark mesons Nonets characterized by given JPC http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  9. Excited Flux Tubes First excited state of flux tube has J=1 and when combined with S=1 for quarks generate: q q JPC = 0-+ 0+-1+- 1-+2-+ 2+- exotic q q Exotic mesons are not generated when S=0 How do we look for gluonic degrees of freedom in spectroscopy? http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  13. Current Evidence Have gluonic excitations been observed ?

  14. Crystal barrel Crystal Barrel Evidence for fo(1500) http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  15. Crystal Barrel - II Crystal Barrel Low Statistics http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  18. Partial Wave Analysis (PWA) Line shape and phase consistent with Breit-Wigner line shape production Low t C.M.S. A simple example - identifying states which decay into pp Production and decay point the way Decay into pp implies J=L, P=(-1)L and C=(-1)L http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  22. An Exotic Signal in E852 Correlation of Phase & Intensity Mass (GeV) Leakage From Non-exotic Wave Exotic Signal Mass (GeV) http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  23. Hybrid Decays Gluonic excitations transfer angular momentum in their decays not to the relative angular momentum of meson pairs but to the internal orbital angular momentum of the qq pairs. Favored: X[1-+]  Sqq + Pqq NotFavored: X[1-+]  Sqq + Sqq We want to determine this and be sensitive to a wide variety of decay modes to test models and to certify the PWA. http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  24. What is Needed? • PWA requires that the entire event be identified - all particles • detected, measured and identified. The detector should be hermetic with excellent resolution and capability of identifying photons and p from K from protons. • The beam energy should be sufficiently high to produce mesons in the • desired mass range with sufficient acceptance. Too high an energy will introduce backgrounds, reduce many cross-sections of interest and make it difficult to achieve above experimental goals. • PWA also requires high statistics and linearly polarized photons. Linear polarization will be discussed. At 107 photons/sec and a 30-cm LH2 target a 1 µb cross-section will yield 60M events/yr. This would about 1M exotics in a given channel. http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  25. Optimal Photon Energy Electron endpoint energy of 12 GeV relative yield Figure of merit based on: Beam flux and polarization Production yields Separation of meson/baryon production M[x] is produced meson mass http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  27. Linear Polarization - I For circular polarization For linear polarization V Suppose we produce a vector via exchange of spin 0 particle and then V  SS J=0 Loss in degree of polarization requires corresponding increase in stats http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD

  28. Linear Polarization - II With linear polarization which is sum or diff of R and L we can separate Linear Polarization Essential Parity conservation implies: V X J=0– or 0+ Suppose we want to determine exchange: O+ from 0- or AN from AU http://dustbunny.physics.indiana.edu/HallD
