A coupled-channel approach including the ΛcD¯(*) and ηcp channels in addition to the Σc(*)D¯(*) and J/ψp channels, as required by unitarity and heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS), is applied to the hidden-charm pentaquark Pc states, i.e., Pc(4312), Pc(4440) and Pc(4457), discovered by LHCb Collaboration. It is demonstrated that to obtain cutoff independent results, the one-pion exchange potential in the multichannel systems is to be supplemented with next-leading order counter terms responsible for the S-wave-to-D-wave transitions. We show that the experimental data for the J/ψp mass distributions are fully in line with the ΣcD¯ and ΣcD¯* hadronic molecular interpretation of the Pc(4312) and Pc(4440)/Pc(4457), respectively. A narrow Σc*D¯ molecule around 4.38 GeV is required by the HQSS with the evidence for its existence seen in the J/ψp spectrum. Moreover, we predict the line shapes for the elastic and inelastic channels.

We have developed a self-consistent theoretical approach to study the modification of the properties of heavy mesons in hot mesonic matter which takes into account chiral and heavy-quark spin-flavor symmetries. The heavylight meson-meson unitarized scattering amplitudes in coupled channels incorporate thermal corrections by using the imaginary-time formalism, as well as the dressing of the heavy mesons with the self-energies. We report our results for the ground-state thermal spectral functions and the implications for the excited mesonic states generated dynamically in the heavy-light molecular model. We have applied these to the calculation of meson Euclidean correlators and transport coefficients for D mesons and summarize here our findings.

AbstractInspired by the recent discovery of the doubly charmed tetraquark state $$T_{cc}^{+}$$ T cc + by the LHCb Collaboration, we perform a systematic study of masses and strong decays of open charm hexaquark states $${\Sigma }_{c}^{(*)}\Sigma _{c}^{(*)}$$ Σ c ( ∗ ) Σ c ( ∗ ) . Taking into account heavy quark spin symmetry breaking, we predict several bound states of isospin $$I=0$$ I = 0 , $$I=1$$ I = 1 , and $$I=2$$ I = 2 in the one boson exchange model. Moreover, we adopt the effective Lagrangian approach to estimate the decay widths of $${\Sigma }_{c}^{(*)}\Sigma _{c}^{(*)} \rightarrow \Lambda _{c}\Lambda _{c}$$ Σ c ( ∗ ) Σ c ( ∗ ) → Λ c Λ c and their relevant ratios via the triangle diagram mechanism, which range from a few MeV to a few tens of MeV. We strongly recommend future experimental searches for the $${\Sigma }_{c}^{(*)}\Sigma _{c}^{(*)}$$ Σ c ( ∗ ) Σ c ( ∗ ) hexaquark states in the $$\Lambda _c\Lambda _c$$ Λ c Λ c invariant mass distributions.

AbstractMotivated by the observation of the first hidden charm pentaquarks by the LHCb collaboration in 2015 and the updated analysis with an order-of-magnitude larger data set in 2019, we estimate their cross sections for the prompt production as well as their heavy quark spin partners, in the $$\Sigma _c^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$$ Σ c ( ∗ ) D ¯ ( ∗ ) hadronic molecular picture, at the center-of-mass energy $$7~\text {TeV}$$ 7 TeV in the pp collision. Their cross sections are several $${\mathrm {nb}}$$ nb and we would expect several tens hidden charm pentaquark events in the LHC based on its current integrated luminosity. The cross sections show a sizable deviation of the cross sections for hidden charm pentaquarks with the third isospin component $$I_z=+\frac{1}{2}$$ I z = + 1 2 ($$P_c^+$$ P c + ) from those with $$I_z=-\frac{1}{2}$$ I z = - 1 2 ($$P_c^0$$ P c 0 ). The cross sections decrease dramatically with the increasing transverse momentum. Our study can also tell where to search for the missing hidden charm pentaquarks. The confirmation of the complete hidden charm pentaquarks in the heavy quark symmetry would further verify their $$\Sigma _c^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$$ Σ c ( ∗ ) D ¯ ( ∗ ) molecular interpretation. In addition, the relative strength among these cross sections for pentaquarks can help us to identify the quantum numbers of the $$P_c(4440)$$ P c ( 4440 ) and $$P_c(4457)$$ P c ( 4457 ) .

The discovery of the X(3872) meant the revival of the heavy meson spectroscopy beyond naive qq¯ structures. Since the SU(3) scheme, which was very useful in the dawn of the quark models, does not work for these states, one has to use new symmetries, like Heavy Quark Spin Symmetry (HQSS) and Heavy Flavor Symmetry (HFS), to look for new states. However, at the energy regions where these new states appear, new factors are involved and it is not straightforward to relate the predictions of the symmetries with the data. In this work, we present a critical analysis of this problem and show, in a coupled-channels model, how the relative position of the bare QQ¯ states with respect to meson-meson thresholds and the coupling with other channels modulate the strength of the interaction and, hence, modify the structure of the predicted states. We found a possible candidate to the X(3872) partner at 10,599 MeV/c2.

Abstract We present the leading-twist quark transverse momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) for the spin-1 target, such as the ρ-meson, in the light-front framework. Specifically, we predict the TMDs in the light-front holographic model and compare with the light-front quark model predictions. We obtain the TMDs using the overlap of the light-front wave functions. We evaluate the k⊥ moments upto second order and compare with the available theoretical predictions. Further, we analyze the leading-twist parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the ρ-meson in the light-front holographic model which are found to be in accord with the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model and the light-front quark model predictions. We further study the QCD evolution of the PDFs. The positivity bounds on the TMDs and the PDFs are also discussed. We also present the quark spin densities in the transverse momentum plane for different polarization configurations of the quark and the ρ-meson target.
