  3. 1. Introduction Charmonium production • Color-suppressed b  c decay • Predominantly from B-meson decays • e+e- annihilation/Initial State Radiation (ISR) • e+e- collision below nominal cm energy • JPC = 1-- • Double charmonium production • Typically one J/Y or Y, plus second cc state • Two-photon production • Access to C = +1 states • pp annihilation • All quantum numbers available J/Y, Y(2S) hc, cc,... K-, K0,K*, K- resonances… Untagged gg: Charmonium states with JPC = 0+, 2+ J = 0,2 J = 1

  4. 1. Introduction History of discovered charmonium states • 1974: first charmonium state J/Ywith mJ/Y = 3096 MeV discovered (SLAC: e+e-→ Y → e+e-, m+m-, hadrons and BNL: p + Be → J → e+e- + X) • 1974: discovery of Ψ´ (excited3S1 state) with mΨ´ = 3.686 GeV and Γ≤ 2.7 MeV at SLAC • Studying of radiative decays of Ψ´: BR (Ψ´ → J/Ψ+ p- + p+) = 0.32 BR (Ψ´ → J/Ψ → neutrals) = 0.25 • No other narrow resonances found from reactions e+e- → hadrons • 1976: cc,1,2,3(triplet states 3P0,1,2) discovered from radiative decays of Y´→ g cc,J • 1980: discovery of 1S0 singlet hc with mass m = 2.98 GeV in decay Y´→ g hc • 1982: hc´ (excited state of hc) seen at Crystall Ball (SPEAR) with mhc = 3594 MeV • 1977: Discovery of upsilon meson U(bottonium bb with JPC = 1--) at Fermi Lab with mU ≈ 9.46 GeV via p-Cu interaction again with very narrow width ~52 keV • Many excited states of the U like in case of J/Ψ (similar energy levels) • Bound state tt non observed: top-quark decays before building a bound state (t → W+ + b)

  5. 2. Charmonium spectroscopy and theoretical potential models Y´ ηc‘ hc cc J/Ψ ηc • Singlet S-states (spin 0): hc, hc´ Singlet P-states (spin 0): hc • Triplet S-states (spin 1): J/Y, Y´,Y´´,…Triplet p-states (spin 1):c1,2,3 Charmonia:

  6. 2. Charmonium spectroscopy and theoretical potential models Charmonium states Experimental data can be used to compare results to the expected values of different theoretical potential models www.e18.physik.tu-muenchen.de/teaching/struktur-dynamik-hadronen/charmonium_1.pdf –

  7. 2. Charmonium spectroscopy and theoretical potential models • c,b are heavy quarks can be treated in nonrelativistic approximations (Schrödinger equation + static potential) because relativistic corrections are small • At small distances: one-gluon exchange dominates (asymptotic freedom): V ~ 1/r • At large distances confining potential: Coulomb + linear potential: „Cornell-Potential“ Vector part Vv Scalar part Vs => Fits to the data show that Vv is small Contributions to the cc-potential: k = (2pa´) -1≈ 0.18 GeV² is the string tension (energy density of qq pair in string model of hadrons) with typical slope a´= 1 GeV-² of a hadronic Regge trajectory

  8. 2. Charmonium spectroscopy and theoretical potential models • Fine structur splitting (spin orbit interaction): Vs: scalar part from confining term Vv: vector part from one-gluon (vector boson) exchange • Spin spin (splitting of singlet and triplet states): → no contribution from Vs • Tensor term: By computating the various expectation values one obtains mass splitting relations: 1 (3P2) -1 (3P1) -2 (3P0) ¼ (3S1) -¾ (1S0) -1/5 (3P2) 0 (3P1) -2 (1P0)

  9. 2. Charmonium spectroscopy and theoretical potential models The resulting mass relations for the triplet are: → testing if long-range potential transforms as a 4-scalar Vs or a 4-vector Vv considering a modification of the Cornell model (V = br - a/r): with Inserting this potential model and setting 0.66 (hb(1P)) 0.70 (hb(2P)) experimental data on U-P-wave for vector confinement (x≈ 1) formula in accord with experimental data only for l ≈ 0, whereas scalar confinement (x≈ 0) larger range 0.4 ≤ l ≤ 1.0 in accord with exp. values Conclusion: confinement produced by a long-range 4-scalar interaction

  10. 3. Transitions and decays of cc • Annihilation: • Generally suppressed for bound state • Decay to leptons is a clean experimental signal • Strong interaction: • Dominant above ~3.72 GeV (D mesons) • Suppressed below this mass threshold • Radiative transition: • EM radiative transition emitting photon • Emission of gluons producing light quarks Features: • Suppression of strong decays leads to (relatively) long lifetimes, narrow widths • Radiative decays are competitive; often most accessible transitions • Selection rules: • Conservation of J • Conservation of P,C in strong and electromagnetic decays

  11. 3. Transitions and decays of cc All quarkonia are unstable and decay through: 1) annihilation processes and 2) radiative transitions 1) Annihilation processes (electromagnetic and hadronic decays): for a bound state with wavefunction Yn(x) in electromagnetic decay Including QCD radiative corrections and substituting the electric charge by ec = (2/3)e for the charm-quark charge and a color factor of 3: c el.mag. decay gg or gg c hadronic decay c f c g* ggg or ggg for 3S1 state c c f

  12. 3. Transitions and decays of cc • Decays from the 3S1-system with 3 final particles or a lepton pair including QCD radiative corrections : electromagnetic decay hadronic decay el.mag. decay Problems: - factor lΨn(0)l² comes from non relativistic approximation, can be modified by relativistic corrections - second order terms O(as²) could play an important role

  13. 3. Transitions and decays of cc • hadronic transitions: J/Ψ, Ψ´→ PV, PP, VV (P: pseudoscalar and V: vector mesons) with quark flavor basis: el.magn. J/Y and Y´ decays into meson pairs mixing mechanism for charmonium decays into meson pairs G-parity and isospin violating transitions with BR ~ 10-4 - 10-3, supressed by factor ~10-2 - 10-1 compared to G-parity and isospin allowed J/Ψ decays Charmonium state possesses Fock components of light quarks, can therefore decay through these by a soft mechanism; node in 2S radial function leads to suppression of mechanism in Ψ´decays mixings:

  14. 3. Transitions and decays of cc branching ratios of decays of J/Ψ and Ψ´ into meson pairs from experimental data (Beijing Electron Spectrometer Collaboration) „12%-rule“ G parity violating transition flavor symmetry breaking mixing Isospin violating transition

  15. 3. Transitions and decays of cc • 2) radiative transitions (M1 and E1 dipole transitions): M1transitions (no parity change, spin flip: DL = 0, DS = 1): J/Ψ→ hc + g, Ψ´ → hc + g, Ψ´ → hc´+ g → J/Ψ + g with w =Ei- Ef Dipole approximation: Schrödinger wave function for charmonium: Y(r) = Yspin·Ylm (J, f) Rnl(r) for E1, M1 where 2p·(phase space) where j0 is the spheric Bessel function (jo(x) = sin(x)/x ) Relativistic corrections and anomalous magnetic moment for quarks are neglected!

  16. 3. Transitions and decays of cc E1 transitions (parity changes, no spin flip: DL = 1, DS = 0): Ψ´ → g +cc,J → J/Ψ+ g 1 for spin singlet transition 3 for spin triplet transitions Jf : spin of the final state and Sfi = where estimation of decay width by building ratios: Determination of as(mc): from experimental decay width one gets: as(mF) ≈ 0.44as(mJ/Ψ) ≈ 0.21, as(mU) ≈ 0.18

  17. 3. Transitions and decays of cc Higher multipole contributions in charmonium • Magnetic quadrupole (M2) amplitudes provide indirect measure of charmed quark´s anomalous magnetic moment and are sensitive to D-wave mixtures in S-wave states (Ψ´´ – Ψ´) • Affect angular distributions in decays Ψ´→ cc,Jg and cc,J → J/Ψg (experimentally accessible through interference with dominant E1 amplitudes) • Radiative widths given by helicity amplitudes Al, Al´with l labelling the projection of the spin of cc,J parallel (Al) or antiparallel (Al´) to the photon setting e ≡x·Eg/(4mc) where x = -1forΨ´→ g cc,J and x = +1 for cc,J → J/Ψ kc:quark anomalous magnetic moment (deviation from Dirac magnetic momentmc = ⅔ ec/(2mc)) Searching for interferences with dominant E1 amplitudes (cc,J → g J/Y): expected normalized M2/E1 ratios a2:

  18. 3. Transitions and decays of cc Hadronic transitions [QQ → (QQ)´+ light hadrons] • examples: • theoretical description uses multipole expansion for gluon emission, very similar to usual multipole expansion for photonic transitions: (color electric and color magnetic emission from a heavy quark) • Single interaction of HI changes color singlet QQ initial state i into some color octett QQ state, second interaction HI is required to return to a color singlet QQ final state (f) -> at least two gluons have to be emitted • Ordering of amplitudes in powers of velocity with leading contribution from color electric gluon emissions: above DD-threshold: C(3872)→ J/Ψ p+p- and Y(3940) → J/Ψw ta: generator of color SU(3),(a = 1,…,8) sum over all allowed QQ octett intermediate states nO S-wave 2p-system D-wave 2p-system lowest mass light hadron state: p

  19. 3. Transitions and decays of cc Properties of Ψ(2S) → gcc,J E1 radiative transition with Gtot [Ψ(2S)] = 33713 keV Properties of transitions cc,J → g J/Ψ E1 radiative transition Partial widths and BR for spin-singlet states, O = r (GeV-1) for E1 and O = j0(kr/2) for M1 transitions Ψ´→ ghc´/ hc hc´ → g hc Ψ´→ g J/Ψ hc→ ghc Phys. Rev. D 66, 014012 (2002)

  20. 3. Transitions and decays of cc Ψ(2S) Decay to ghc(1S): • forbidden M1 transition (would vanish in the limit of Eg = 0 because of orthogonality of 1S and 2S wave functions) at photon energy of 638 MeV → ≠ 0 averaged BR = (3.00.5)·10-3 => G[Ψ(2S) → ghc(1S)] = (1.00 0.16) keV Decay to ghc(2S): • allowed M1 transition characterized by ≈ 1 for small photon energies • Assumption: matrix elements for Y(2S) → ghc´(2S) and J/Y(1S) → ghc(1S) are equal => (2S-2S)-rate = times (1S-1S)-rate leading to a BR = (2.6 0.7)·10-4 and thereforeG[Ψ(2S) → ghc´(2S)] = (87 25) eV Hadronic transitions to J/Ψ: • Via electric dipole emission of gluon pair followed by its hadronization intopp dominating decay mode in pions

  21. 3. Transitions and decays of cc Ψ(2S) → p0hc→ p0ghc hc CLEO data with MeV background function plus signal

  22. 4. New states above the DD-threshold • Discovery of a new signal X(3872) in B+X K+, XJ/Ψp+p- at Belle in 2003 with narrow widthG < 2.3MeV and mass mX = 3871.20.6 MeV • Confirmed by CDF, D0 and BaBar • X  J/Ψ g radiative decay confirmed by BaBar determines C = +1 • Belle/CDF dipion angular analysis in XJ/Ψp+p- favours JPC = 1++ • not seen in XJ/Ψ p0p => neutral state

  23. 4. New states above the DD-threshold Interpretation of X(3872) • similar to charmonium: narrow state decaying to J/Ψp+p- • above DD threshold should be wide and XDD dominant • Quantum numbers established: 1++ • It does not fit into the charmonium model! • m(X) ≈ m(D) + m(D*0) => X could be a bound state of 2 D mesons, a D0D*0molecule assumption supported by predictions of mass, decay modes, JPC, branching fractions and small binding energy (deuteron like) • Other exotic predictions: - “tetraquark” 4 quark bound state - “glueball” gluon bound state, charmonium-gluon hybrid ccg Further new states discovered: • X(3940): - discovered by Belle in double charmonium production e+e-J/ΨX(3940) - Decays to DD* but not DD and J/Ψw - Likely excited charmonium state (hc’’’ or cc1’) - JPC = 0-+,1++ ? PRL 98, 082001 (2007) XDD*

  24. 4. New states above the DD-threshold • Z(3930) -observed in the two-photon decays gg Z(3930)  DD - Predicted mass and width match charmonium assignment of cc2’ - JPC = 2++ • Y(3940) • - discovered by Belle the decay BKY, Y (w J/Ψ) - Possible cc1’ charmonium state but requires further investigation - not found in DD or DD* final states - JPC = 1++, … ZDD YJ/y w If X=Y, difficult to explain absence of Y  open charm => Hybrid?

  25. 4. New states above the DD-threshold • Y(4260) • new peak in ISR events discovered at Babar, found in decay Y(4260)J/Ψp+p- • e+e- requires quantum numbers JPC = 1-- • However, all of the 1-- charmonium states have already been discovered! • Very difficult to accommodate as cc, unless previous assignments are wrong • for Y(4260)J/Ψ p+p-, Belle reproduces BaBar’s signal: • Broad second peak at slightly lower mass:

  26. 4. New states above the DD-threshold Candidates for hybrids Ψ(4415): IG(JPC) = 0-(1--) Ψ(4160): IG(JPC) = 0-(1--) Ψ(4040): IG(JPC) = 0-(1-- )

  27. 5. Conclusion • Charmonium states and decay widths can be calculated quite well in NRQCD but in order to obtain a higher precision relativistic corrections have to be included • Determination of as(mc) from various rations of decay widths • Charmonium model with has great success below the DD-threshold • Above DD threshold, several states remain undiscovered or need further study • A recent flood of experimental results from the B-factories is challenging our understanding of the strong force: - What is the nature of the new “Y” states? • Meson molecules? Tetraquarks? Hybrids? Glueballs? Something else? • Rich new spectroscopy? • What excited unknown states do exist? => waiting for data of (upgraded) B-factories like Babar, Belle, CLEO, BES searching for resonances with non-quarkonium JPC (1-+, …)
