    Mass spectrum of fully charmed [cc][cˉcˉ][cc][\bar c\bar c] tetraquarks

    Full text link
    There are three SS and seven PP fully charmed [cc][cˉcˉ][cc][\bar c\bar c] tetraquarks, the mass spectrum from 1S1S to 2P2P excitations is calculated in a non-relativistic quark potential model. In the calculation, the interactions among four internal quarks/antiquark are approximated as a dominant color interaction between a diquark and an antidiquark, and a residual interaction responsible for the diquark/antidiquark cluster effect. The color interaction between the diquark and the antidiquark is characterized by the conventional Cornell potential, while the residual interaction is modeled as the Yukawa-type scalar σ\sigma and vector ω\omega boson exchange potentials. In the numerical results, though the scalar σ\sigma and vector ω\omega boson exchange interactions reduce the masses of SS-wave [cc][cˉcˉ][cc][\bar c\bar c] tetraquarks 405040-50 MeV, they contribute to the masses of other [cc][cˉcˉ][cc][\bar c\bar c] tetraquarks small. The mass splittings of [cc][cˉcˉ][cc][\bar c\bar c] tetraquarks between different multiplets and within the same multiplet are smaller than those in charmonium, and the splittings are affected by the scalar σ\sigma or vector ω\omega boson exchange interactions small. Our calculations suggest that the observed X(6600)X(6600), X(6900)X(6900) and X(7300)X(7300) should be different radial excitations of [cc][cˉcˉ][cc][\bar c\bar c]. The measurements of the JPCJ^{PC} quantum numbers and the mass splittings will be helpful to identify and understand of the [cc][cˉcˉ][cc][\bar c\bar c] candidates.Comment: 9 pages, 5 tables, PDFLate

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Investigating full-heavy tetraquarks composed of cccˉbˉcc\bar{c}\bar{b} and bbbˉcˉbb\bar{b}\bar{c}

    The full-heavy tetraquarks cccˉbˉcc\bar{c}\bar{b} and bbbˉcˉbb\bar{b}\bar{c} are systematically investigated within the chiral quark model. The meson-meson structure, diquark-antidiquark structure and K-structure are considered in this work. There is no bound state for cccˉbˉcc\bar{c}\bar{b} and bbbˉcˉbb\bar{b}\bar{c} systems in IJP=00+,01+ IJ^{P}=00^{+},01^{+} and 02+ 02^{+} channels. However, for cccˉbˉcc\bar{c}\bar{b} system, three possible resonance states with energy of 10079 MeV 10079~{\rm MeV} , 10081 MeV 10081~{\rm MeV} and 10177 MeV 10177~{\rm MeV} are found in IJP=00+,01+ IJ^{P}=00^{+},01^{+} and 02+ 02^{+}, respectively, and their decay width Γ \Gamma are 6.78.4 MeV6.7-8.4~{\rm MeV} , 1.47.2 MeV1.4-7.2~{\rm MeV} and 9.111.1 MeV9.1-11.1~{\rm MeV} . For bbbˉcˉbb\bar{b}\bar{c} system, there also exist three possible resonance states with energy of 16474 MeV 16474~{\rm MeV} , 16474 MeV 16474~{\rm MeV} and 16541 MeV 16541~{\rm MeV} in IJP=00+,01+ IJ^{P}=00^{+},01^{+} and 02+ 02^{+}, respectively, and the decay widths Γ \Gamma of them are 2.26.1 MeV2.2-6.1~{\rm MeV} , 2.26.9 MeV2.2-6.9~{\rm MeV} and 5.38.5 MeV5.3-8.5~{\rm MeV} . bccˉcˉbc\bar{c}\bar{c} and cbbˉbˉcb\bar{b}\bar{b} systems will have the same results as cccˉbˉcc\bar{c}\bar{b} and bbbˉcˉbb\bar{b}\bar{c}, respectively. These full-heavy resonance states are worthy to be searched in the future experiments.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figure

    Variations on the Author

    Full text link
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Fully Charmed Tetraquark States in 8[ccˉ]8[ccˉ]8_{[c\bar{c}]}\otimes8_{[c\bar{c}]} Color Structure via QCD Sum Rules

    Full text link
    Stimulated by the recent experimental results on the fully-charm tetraquark states, we systematically calculate the mass spectra of the fully-charm tetraquark states in 8[ccˉ]8[ccˉ]8_{[c\bar{c}]}\otimes8_{[c\bar{c}]} color configuration via QCD sum rules. By constructing nine 8[ccˉ]8[ccˉ]8_{[c\bar{c}]}\otimes8_{[c\bar{c}]} type currents with quantum numbers JPC=0+,0,1+,1+,1J^{PC}=0^{-+},0^{--},1^{-+},1^{+-},1^{--} and 2++2^{++}, we perform analytic calculation up to dimension six in the Operator Product Expansion (OPE). We find the fully-charm tetraquark states with JPC=1+,2++J^{PC}=1^{+-},2^{++} lie around 6.48 \sim 6.62 GeV while the fully-charm tetraquark states with JPC=0+,0,1,1+J^{PC}=0^{-+},0^{--},1^{--},1^{-+} are about 6.85 \sim 7.02 GeV. Notably, the mass predictions for the ccˉccˉc\bar{c}c\bar{c} tetraquarks, specifically those with JPC=2++J^{PC}=2^{++}, align with the broad structure identified by LHCb. Moreover, the masses of fully-charm tetraquarks with JPC=0+J^{PC}=0^{-+} and 1+1^{-+} are anticipated to match closely with the mass of X(6900), considering the margin of error. Such findings hint at the presence of some 8[ccˉ]8[ccˉ]8_{[c\bar{c}]}\otimes8_{[c\bar{c}]} components within the di-J/ψJ/ψ structures observed by LHCb. The predictions for tetraquark states with JPC=0,1+,1J^{PC}=0^{--},1^{+-},1^{--} may be accessible in the future BelleII, Super-B, PANDA, and LHCb experiments.19 pages, 4 figures, 1 table.
