SPring-8/LEPS Experiment Observation of 5-quark Resonance Wen-Chen Chang 章文箴 中央研究院 物理研究所
Outline • Hadrons in the quark models. • Exotic multi-quark states. • LEPS experiment at SPring-8, Japan. • + resonance. • Theoretical interpretations. • Outlook.
Particles discovered 1898 - 1964: 1953 Donald Glaser invented the bubble chamber. The Brookhaven Cosmotron, a 1.3 GeV accelerator, started operation.
Back to Year 1964 • A hundred or so types of particles were identified: • Baryons (fermion): n, p, , , ,…. • Mesons (boson) : , , ….. • Murray Gell-Mann (Mendeleev of elementary particle physics) proposed “the eightfold way” to put these particles in order, suggesting more elementary constituents: quarks. • Three types of quarks, u, d and s. • Baryons composed of 3 quarks. • Mesons composed of 2 quarks: a quark and an antiquark.
Baryon Decuplet (s=3/2) (1232) (1384) (1533) (1672)
The Color Space • The overall wave function is product of space*flavor*spin. Pauli principle requires an anti-symmetric wave function for a fermion system. • The quark configuration of ++(1232) is (uuu) and s=3/2. The wave function is symmetric in flavor, spin and space. • Introduce another degree of freedom (strong interaction charge), COLOR, to quarks and each quark in ++ has different color (uuu), but the system overall has to be colorless or . • Fundamental theory of describing “the Strong Interaction”: Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD). white
Quarks Confined Inside Colorless Hadrons Enduring mystery: Of the many allowed possibilities for combining quarks with color into colorless hadrons, only two types of configurations are well known: “pion, kaon, phi, eta” “Proton, Neutron, Lambda, Omega” q = any one of {u, d, s, c, b, t}

Beyond Conventional Quark Model Spectroscopy • Di-baryons H(qqqqqq): R. Jaffe (1977). • Multi-quark mesons (qqqq): R. Jaffe (1977). • Multi-quark baryons, pentaquark (qqqqq) : H. Hogaasen (1979), D. Strottman (1979), H. Lipkin (1987), M. Praszalowicz (1987), D.I. Diakonov et al. (1997). • Hybrid states (qqg, qqqg). • Glueballs (gg, ggg). • “The discovery of a manifestly exotic baryon provides an opportunity to refine our understanding of quark dynamics at low energy, where it is not perturbative.” --- R. Jaffe and F. Wilczek. ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯

How Do We Identifiy Resonances? J/ Resonance: Broad states with finite widths and lifetimes, which can be formed by collision between the particles into which they decay.
Identification of + • Two proposed production modes in photon-nucleon collisions: • Because of forward spectrometer setup, we look into neutron production mode with detection of charged K+K- and requiring missing mass to be that of nucleon. • Correction of Fermi Momentum of neutrons inside nuclei. • Backgrounds:
Summary of Event Selections • Target cut: z-Vertex position (Start Counter target). • Final state cut: • K+K pair detected. • Missing nucleon mass (0.90<MM<0.98 GeV/c2) after Fermi motion correction. • Remove background: • Exclusion of events (MKK>1.04 or <1.00 GeV/c2). • Proton-tagging veto: • Fiducial cut to require scattered nucleons be within SSD acceptance. • Nucleon momentum cut. (PN>0.35 GeV/c) • Veto cut with proton tagging in SSD and two charged-track only. • 8869 events →109+signal events.
