Heavy Quarkonium Spectroscopy Riccardo Faccini University “La Sapienza” and INFN Rome Roma, 2 ottobre 2007 [tratto dal talk ad LP’07] Quarkonium for Pedestrians Quarkonium is a bound state of a quark and an antiquark Relevant quantum numbers: n,L,S,J Relationship with Parity and Charge Conj: P=(-1)L+1, C=(-1)L+S Not all JPC allowed (e.g. 0+-,0--,1-+,2+- forbidden) Decay Properties: Below open quark threshold (e.g. (cc)?DD) only electromagnetic or as suppressed decays allowed ? mostly narrow states Above open quark threshold (if DD decays allowed)? mostly broad states What can we learn? Understanding of QCD: ‘regular quarkonium’ ? tests of NRQCD, potential models, … ‘new states’ ? new forms of aggregations mediated by the strong interactions Charmonium: state of the art Bottomonium: state of the art Beyond the quarkonium Search for states with 2 quarks+”something else” New forms of aggregation Expected but never identified!!! Hybrids: qq+n gluons Lowest state 1-+ (forbidden for quarkonium) Dominant decay H?DD** Tetraquarks: [qq’][qq’] Large amount of states small widths also above threshold Molecules: M[qq]M[q’q’] Smaller number of states but still small widths also above threshold Measuring the quantum numbers Production: ISR only produces with same quantum numbers as the photon (JPC=1--) gg only produces with C=+ Double charmonium production e+e- ? g*?Xcc1Xcc2 Possible only if quantum numbers of the two charmonia can be combined to give a 1--. Decay: Angular distributions of decay products depend on JP. Selection rules Conservation of J Conservation of P,C in strong and e.m. decays Experiments e+e- ?Charmonium (CLEO-c, BES-II) L~1033/cm2/s E=3.0-4.3 GeV e+e- ?
