Negative-parity {Lambda}{sub Q} baryons in the baryon-meson continuum

The negative-parity charmed baryons are investigated by employing the quark model as well as the effective baryon meson model with a bound state embedded in the continuum. Especially the mass difference between the J{sup P} 1/2{sup -} and 3/2{sup -}{Lambda}{sub c}{sup +} baryons is discussed. The observed value of this mass splitting is almost the same as that of {Xi}{sub c}, about 30 MeV. It is found that most of this splitting can be reproduced by assuming a simple qqQ configuration. The coupling to the baryon-meson scattering state may enlarge the splitting as it does for the {Lambda}(1405)(1/2{sup -}) and {Lambda}(1520)(3/2{sup -}) case. We investigate this coupling effect and find that with an appropriately modified coupling or the pole energy, the peak can be reproduced.

QCD factorization for {Lambda}{sub b}{sup 0}{yields}{Lambda}{sub c}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}

We prove that in the limit m{sub b},m{sub c}{yields}{infinity}, with m{sub c}/m{sub b} fixed, factorization holds at order {alpha}{sub s} for the decay {Lambda}{sub b}{sup 0}{yields}{Lambda}{sub c}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}. This proof is done in the infinite-momentum frame in which the momenta of {pi}, {Lambda}{sub c}, and {Lambda}{sub b} go to infinity. Our result is renormalization-scale- and scheme-independent at O({alpha}{sub s}). This is the same as the QCD factorization for B{yields}D{pi}.

Strong three-body decays of {Lambda}{sub c}(2940){sup +} in a hadronic molecule picture

The {Lambda}{sub c}(2940){sup +} baryon with quantum numbers J{sup P}=(1/2){sup +} is considered as a hadronic molecule composed of a nucleon and D{sup *} meson. We give predictions for the width of the strong three-body decay processes {Lambda}{sub c}(2940){sup +}{yields}{Lambda}{sub c}(2286){sup +}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -} and {Lambda}{sub c}(2286){sup +}{pi}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0} in this interpretation. Upcoming experimental facilities like a Super B factory at KEK or LHCb might be able to provide data on these decay modes.

Molecular aspects of charm physics

We study the influence of possible molecular structures in the charmonium spectrum. We focus on the 0{sup ++}, 1{sup ++} and 1{sup --} sectors. In the first one we coupled the 2{sup 3}P{sub 0}cc pair with DD, J/{psi}{omega}, D{sub s}D{sub s} and J/{psi}{phi} channels and we obtain two states compatibles with the X(3945) and the Y(3940). In the second one we couple the 2{sup 3}P{sub 1}cc state with the DD{sup *} channel and we obtain a dressed state compatible with the X(3940) and a new state that we assign to the X(3872). In the third one we include the 3{sup 3}S{sub 1} and 2{sup 3}D{sub 1} charmonium states coupled to DD, DD{sup *}, D{sup *}D{sup *}, D{sub s}D{sub s}, D{sub s}D{sup *}s and D{sup *}{sub s}D{sup *}{sub s}. In this calculation we obtain a new molecular state that could be the G(3900) or the controversial Y(4008) and two cc states dressed by the molecular components assigned to the {psi}(4040) and the {psi}(4160). Finally we perform a calculation in the five quark sector where we can describe the {Lambda}{sub c}(2940){sup +} as a ND{sup *} molecular state and predict a {Lambda}{sub b}(6248){sup +} state.

Heavy quark spin symmetry and heavy hadronic molecules

In the heavy quark limit there is heavy quark spin symmetry. As a consequence, heavy hadrons or heavy quarkonia form spin multiplets. We argue that due to the symmetry, also heavy flavor hadronic molecules form spin multiplets, and the hyperfine splittings are the same as those between the heavy hadrons which are components of the molecules. Hence it provides a method to identify the nature of heavy hadronic molecules. As an example, we give predictions of the properties of an {eta}{sub c}{sup '}f{sub 0}(980) bound state assuming the Y(4660) to be an S-wave {psi}{sup '}f{sub 0}(980) shallow bound state. We also show that the enhancement observed in the {Lambda}{sub c}{sup +}{Lambda}{sub c}{sup -} invariant mass distribution might be the Y(4660).

Heavy hadron spectroscopy at CDF

We present recent CDF results on the properties of hadrons containing heavy quarks. These include measurements of charm and {Sigma}{sub b}{sup -}{Sigma}*{sub b}{sup -} baryon's masses, lifetimes and masses of {Omega}{sub b}{sup -}, {Xi}{sub b}{sup -} and B{sub c}{sup -} and a measurement of exclusive B{sup +}, B{sup 0} and {Lambda}{sub b} lifetimes as well as lifetime ratios (charge conjugate modes are implied throughout the text). We also summarize new measurements of exotic particles X(3872) and Y(4140).

Observation of the {Xi}{sub b}{sup 0} Baryon

The observation of the bottom, strange baryon {Xi}{sub b}{sup 0} through the decay chain {Xi}{sub b}{sup 0}{yields}{Xi}{sub c}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, where {Xi}{sub c}{sup +}{yields}{Xi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup +}, {Xi}{sup -}{yields}{Lambda}{pi}{sup -}, and {Lambda}{yields}p{pi}{sup -}, is reported by using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.2 fb{sup -1} from pp collisions at {radical}(s)=1.96 TeV recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. A signal of 25.3{sub -5.4}{sup +5.6} candidates is observed whose probability of arising from a background fluctuation is 3.6x10{sup -12}, corresponding to 6.8 Gaussian standard deviations. The {Xi}{sub b}{sup 0} mass is measured to be 5787.8{+-}5.0(stat){+-}1.3(syst) MeV/c{sup 2}. In addition, the {Xi}{sub b}{sup -} baryon is observed through the process {Xi}{sub b}{sup -}{yields}{Xi}{sub c}{sup 0}{pi}{sup -}, where {Xi}{sub c}{sup 0}{yields}{Xi}{sup -}{pi}{sup +}, {Xi}{sup -}{yields}{Lambda}{pi}{sup -}, and {Lambda}{yields}p{pi}{sup -}.

Spectroscopic study of {Lambda}(1405) via the in-flight (K{sup -},n) reaction on deuteron

We present an experimental study of {Lambda}(1405) via the in-flight (K{sup -},n) reaction on the deuteron target (J-PARC E31). We will measure all {Sigma}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}, {Sigma}{sup -}{pi}{sup +} and {Sigma}{sup 0}{pi}{sup 0} final states so that the isospin structure of the produced hyperon resonance state can be decomposed. In this report, we present an overview of the experiment and preparation status.

The BigBoss Experiment

BigBOSS is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment to study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure with a wide-area galaxy and quasar redshift survey over 14,000 square degrees. It has been conditionally accepted by NOAO in response to a call for major new instrumentation and a high-impact science program for the 4-m Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak. The BigBOSS instrument is a robotically-actuated, fiber-fed spectrograph capable of taking 5000 simultaneous spectra over a wavelength range from 340 nm to 1060 nm, with a resolution R = {lambda}/{Delta}{lambda} = 3000-4800. Using data from imaging surveys that are already underway, spectroscopic targets are selected that trace the underlying dark matter distribution. In particular, targets include luminous red galaxies (LRGs) up to z = 1.0, extending the BOSS LRG survey in both redshift and survey area. To probe the universe out to even higher redshift, BigBOSS will target bright [OII] emission line galaxies (ELGs) up to z = 1.7. In total, 20 million galaxy redshifts are obtained to measure the BAO feature, trace the matter power spectrum at smaller scales, and detect redshift space distortions. BigBOSS will provide additional constraints on early dark energy and on the curvature of the universe by measuring the Ly-alpha forest in the spectra of over 600,000 2.2 < z < 3.5 quasars. BigBOSS galaxy BAO measurements combined with an analysis of the broadband power, including the Ly-alpha forest in BigBOSS quasar spectra, achieves a FOM of 395 with Planck plus Stage III priors. This FOM is based on conservative assumptions for the analysis of broad band power (k{sub max} = 0.15), and could grow to over 600 if current work allows us to push the analysis to higher wave numbers (k{sub max} = 0.3). BigBOSS will also place constraints on theories of modified gravity and inflation, and will measure the sum of neutrino masses to 0.024 eV accuracy.

Level structure and production cross section of {sub {Xi}}{sup 12} Be studied with coupled-channels antisymmetrized molecular dynamics

A theoretical framework of coupled-channels antisymmetrized molecular dynamics that describes the multistrangeness system with mixing between different baryon species is developed and applied to {sub {Lambda}}{sup 12}C and {sub {Xi}}{sup 12}Be. By introducing a minor modification to the YN G-matrix interaction derived from the Nijmegen model-D, the low-lying level structure and production cross section of {sub {Lambda}}{sup 12}C are reasonably described. It is found that the low-lying states of {sub {Xi}}{sup 12}Be are dominated by the {sup 11}B {circle_times} {Xi}{sup -} channel and their order strongly depends on {Xi}N effective interactions used in the calculation. The calculated peak position of the production cross section depends on the {Xi}N effective interaction and the magnitude of spin-flip and non-spin-flip cross sections of K{sup -}p{yields}K{sup +}{Xi}{sup -} elemental processes. We suggest that the {sup 12}C(K{sup -},K{sup +}){sub {Xi}}{sup 12}Be reaction possibly provides us information about the {Xi}N interaction.
