    Magnetic dipole moment of Z(b)(10610) in light-cone QCD

    Get PDF
    Azizi, Kazem (Dogus Author) -- Özdem, Ulaş (Dogus Author)The magnetic dipole moment of the exotic Z(b)(10610) state is calculated within the light cone QCD sum rule method using the diquark-antidiquark and molecule interpolating currents. The magnetic dipole moment is obtained as mu(Zb) = 1.73 +/- 0.63 mu(N) in diquark-antidiquark picture and mu(Zb) = 1.59 +/- 0.58 mu(N) in the molecular case. The obtained results in both pictures together with the results of other theoretical studies on the spectroscopic parameters of the Zb(10610) state may be useful in determination of the nature and quark organization of this state

    International audienceIn this work we investigate the Zb(10610)Z_b (10610) (called simply ZbZ_b ) abundance in the hot hadron gas produced in heavy ion collisions after the quark–gluon plasma phase. We use effective Lagrangians to calculate the thermally averaged cross sections of ZbZ_b production in processes such as B()+Bˉ()π+Zb(10610)B^{(*)} + \bar{B}^{(*)} \rightarrow \pi + Z_b (10610) and also of its absorption in the corresponding inverse processes. We then solve the rate equation to follow the time evolution of the ZbZ_b multiplicity. We find that, if we neglect the ZbZ_b decay, the number of ZbZ_b ’s produced at the end of the quark–gluon plasma phase remains almost constant during the hadron phase. The introduction of the decay in the rate equation leads to a suppression in the final yield by a factor two

    Azizi, Kazem (Dogus Author)The resonance Zb(10610) is investigated as the diquark-antidiquark Zb = [bu][(b) over bar(d) over bar] state with spin-parity J(P) = 1(+). The mass and current coupling of the resonance Z(b)(10610) are evaluated using QCD two-point sum rule and taking into account the vacuum condensates up to ten dimensions. We study the vertices Z(b)r(nS)pi (n = 1, 2, 3) by applying the QCD light-cone sum rule to compute the corresponding strong couplings gZb.(nS) p and widths of the decays Z(b)-> r(nS)pi. We explore also the vertices Z(b)h(b)(mP)pi (m = 1, 2) and calculate the couplings gZ(b)h(b)(mP) p and the widths of the decay channels Z(b) -> hb(mP)pi To this end, we calculate the mass and decay constants of the h(b)(1P) and h(b)(2P) mesons. The results obtained are compared with experimental data of the Belle Collaboration

    Investigations on the light hadron decays of Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) and Zb(10650)Z_b(10650)

    The light hadron decay processes of Zb(10610)/Zb(10650)Z_b(10610)/Z_b(10650) provide us a way to study their nature and decay mechanism. In this work, we evaluate the branching ratios of Zb(10610)/Zb(10650)VPZ_b(10610)/Z_b(10650) \to VP (VV and PP stand for light vector and pseudoscalar mesons, respectively) using an effective Lagrangian approach, in which the contributions of intermediate bottomed meson triangle loops are considered. In our calculations, the Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) and Zb(10650)Z_b(10650) are regarded as BBˉ+c.c.B\bar{B}^*+c.c. and BBˉB^*\bar{B}^* molecular states, respectively. The predicted branching ratios of Zb(10610)VPZ_b(10610)\rightarrow VP are about in the order of 10210^{-2}, while the branching ratios of Zb(10650)VPZ_b(10650)\rightarrow VP are in the order of 10310^{-3}. Furthermore, the dependence of these ratios between different decay modes of Zb(10610)/Zb(10650)Z_b(10610)/Z_b(10650) on the mixing ηη\eta-\eta^\prime angle θP\theta_P is investigated, which may be a good quantity for the experiments. It is hoped that the calculations here could be tested by future experiments.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figures and 1 tabl

    In this article, we construct both the color singlet–singlet type and the octet–octet type currents to interpolate X(3872)X(3872), Zc(3900)Z_c(3900), and Zb(10610)Z_b(10610), and we calculate the vacuum condensates up to dimension-10 in the operator product expansion. Then we study the axial-vector hidden charm and hidden bottom molecular states with the QCD sum rules, explore the energy-scale dependence of the QCD sum rules for the heavy molecular states in details, and we use the formula μ=MX/Y/Z2(2MQ)2\mu =\sqrt{M^2_{X/Y/Z}-(2{\mathbb {M}}_Q)^2} with the effective masses MQ{\mathbb {M}}_Q to determine the energy scales. The numerical results support assigning X(3872)X(3872), Zc(3900)Z_c(3900), and Zb(10610)Z_b(10610) as the color singlet–singlet type molecular states with JPC=1++J^{PC}=1^{++}, 1+1^{+-}, 1+1^{+-}, respectively, more theoretical and experimental work is still needed to distinguish the molecule and tetraquark assignments; while there are no candidates for the color octet–octet type molecular states

    First Observation of the Zb0(10610) in a Dalitz Analysis of Y(5S) - Y(nS) pi0 pi0

    We report the first observation of Y(5S) - Y(nS) pi0 pi0 decays. The neutral partner of the Zb+-(10610), the Zb0(10610) decaying to Y(2,3S) pi0, is observed for the first time with a 6.5 sigma significance using a Dalitz analysis of Y(5S) - Y(2,3S) pi0 pi0 decays. The results are obtained with a 121.4 fb-1 data sample collected with the Belle detector at the Y(5S) resonance at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e+e- collider

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
