Exotic States of Matter

Peter KimSLAC

U. of Hawaii Physics ColloquiumNov. 12, 2015

What is the world made of?• 450 BC: water (Thales), earth (Xenophanes),

air (Anaximenes), fire (Heraclitus) + aether (Aristotle)Empedocles, Plato, Aristotle

[Physical states or Types: liquid, solid, gas, energy or light]

Atomos (indivisible) of Democritus – rejected by Aristotle

• 1612: Etienne de Clave arrested for heresy. 2 elements (water, earth) + 3 substances (mercury, sulfur, salt)

• 19th Century: Atomic theory (Dalton) Periodic Table (Mendeleev)

Building blocks of matter• electron (1897), proton (1917), neutron (1932)

+ few basic elements, we can describe the world we live in!

• Anti-particles: positron (1932), antiproton (1955)• Mesons and baryons: pion (1947), kaon (1947), (1950) • Leptons: muon (1936), neutrino (1956), muon neutrino (1962)• A deluge of meson and baryon resonances …

“The finder of a new particle used to be awarded by a Nobel prize, butsuch a discovery ought to be punished by a $10,000 fine” - Willis Lamb

• Fermi-Yang: nucleon-antinucleon bound states, e.g., + = (p n)• Sakata Model: p, n, as the constituents of mesons and baryons

• Quark Model (Gell-Mann, Zweig)Fractionally charged quarks,: u, d, s (shift Sakata particle charges by -1/3)

Quark Model

A simpler and more elegant scheme can be constructed if we allow non-integral values for the charges. We can dispense entirely with the basic baryon b if we assign to the triplet t the following properties: spin 1/3, z = 1/3, and baryon number 1/3. We then refer to the members u 2/3, d -1/3, and s 1/3 of the triplet as "quarks" q and the members of the anti-triplet as anti-quarks q-bar.

Baryons can now be constructed from quarks by using the combinations (qqq), (qqq q q-bar), etc., while mesons are made out of (q q-bar), (q q q-bar q-bar), etc. It is assuming that the lowest baryon configuration (qqq) gives just the representations 1, 8, and 10 that have been observed, while the lowest meson configuration (q q-bar) similarly gives just 1 and 8.

Does the Nature prefer the simplest configuration?

Point-like particles (Bjorken); Partons (Feynman)

Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD)

• SU(3) color gauge field theory of strong interaction- Inspired by success of U(1) gauge group in QED- Quarks and gluons carry the 3 color charges

• QCD (Gross, Wilczek, Politzer)ConfinementAsymptotic freedom

• Very successful in describing Strong Interaction at many energy scales.

• Perturbative nature of gauge field theory calculationsAt low energy (nucleons level), non-perturbative method is required.

• Is there more to Strong Interactions than QCD theory?

QCD is a precise and beautiful theory. – F. Wilczek

How well do we know the proton?• Mass

Constituent u and d quark masses via Higgs coupling = few MeV1 GeV proton mass mostly comes from the QCD gluons inside the proton; E= mc2

Our visible Universe is made of QCD gluon energy…

• Proton Spin CrisisConstituent quarks not the source of the proton spin? (EMC experiment, 1987)Large contributions from constituent quark angular momentum and gluonsAfter almost 30 years it’s still an open question.

• Proton charge radiusrp = 0.84087(39) fm, muon hydrogen atom 2S-2P Lamb shift at PSI/CREMA (2010,2013)

4% (7 ) smaller than from precision spectroscopy of electron hydrogenUnexpected QCD corrections? New physics? Problem with electronic hydrogen analysis?The proton charge radius problem remains a main problem.

Exotic States in QCD

• QCD predicts states beyond the mesons (qq) and baryons (qqq):Glueballs (gg or ggg), Hybrids (qqg), Tetraquarks (qqqq), Pentaquarks (qqqqq), Hexaquarks (qqqqqq; di-baryons), etc.

• Glueballs (gg)- Extensively searched in radiative J/psi decays (and rad. Upsilon decays) - Many candidates, (1440), (1720), (2220), but not truly convincing.- Observation of states beyond the nominal meson spectra not enough;

Exotic JPC states will provide a definite answer.

• Searches for Hybrids (e.g. GlueX at Jlab)

X Y Z States

• First evidence for 4-quark states (c c q q) ? (Belle)

• Inclusive search for Pc(4450) J/ p in continuum data

• Inclusive search for Pc(4450) J/ p in Y(nS) data- Hadronic decays are dominated by 3-gluon decay- No suppression of strange quark or diquark production; high rate

of baryons- Relative proximity in physical space and momentum & wave

function overlap- BaBar/Belle: 100’s of million events at Y(1S), Y(2S), and Y(3S)

Summary of LHCb pentaquarks• Strong evidence for bound state of a J/ and a proton,

Pc(4450)

• The spin assignment 5/2+ makes it a very good candidate for a compact QCD pentaquark.

• LHCb searches in additional decay modes and other pentaquark states are expected.

• Confirmation could come from CMS at LHC, or the Belle/BaBar e+e- data.

25

Di-baryons (6-quarks)• 64 Combinations from 8 N and Strange baryons: n, p, , , 0,

+, , 0

• Deuteron (np): Binding Energy of 2.225 MeV- (pp) and (nn) are not bound.

• Hyper-deuterons: p p, p or n n, n - Extensive study of hyper-nuclei in Nuclear Physics (since

1960’s)

- Lowest mass hypernuclei observed is ( np)

• H di-baryon ( )• More 6-quark combinations

e.g., (uuuuuu) – Brodsky, arXiv:1308.6404• Charmed hyper-nuclei (or Supernuclei): Charm baryon + N

26

Binding Energy of Nucleons

27

• M(neutron) – M(proton) = 1.29 MeV• Deuteron: p-n bound state with binding energy of 2.225 MeV

(p-p and n-n combinations are not bound)• Elements production in stars: Triple – production of C and C-N-O cycle

• What if?M(neutron) < M(proton): No hydrogen atomProton-proton is bound -> quick burning of hydrogen in early UniverseNo excited state of 12C near (8Be + 4He) energy -> No production of heavier elements

• A curious case of strangelets (bound states of u, d, and s quarks)“Will relativistic heavy-ion colliders destroy out planet?” Fear of strangelet production in heavy on collisions at RHIC

- Negative charge strangelet interacting with nucleus and grow!Ruled out from examination of Cosmic ray “experiments”

Our existence depends on these fine details!

Antideuterons • Antideuterons observed in Y(nS) data by ARGUS (1985,

1990), CLEO (2007), and BaBar (2014): B.F. of ~2.5 x 10-5

• Leading theory is deuteron wave-function overlap with the neutron proton pair in close space and momentum ranges, a la coalescence model.

• Theoretical details are uncertain how the 6 quarks are arranged internally; treated as composition of Fock States: p n color singlet state, p n color octet state, , or multi-diquark state.

• Search for antideuteron from dark matter interactions, AMS-02

28

H di-baryon • Searches at fixed target and ion collision experiments, and Belle - PRL 110, 222002 (2013)

Needs More Data!• If loosley-bound above threshold, H -> • If bound tightly, leading decay modes depend on the Binding energy

29

If the binding energy is large, M_H = 1.5-1.7 GeV, it becomes very stable -- Dark Matter candidate (G. Farrar)

Schaffner-Bielich et al.,PRL 84, 4305 (2000)

Low energy QCD in the LHC Era

• Study of hadronic properties:Hadron masses and decaysStructural propertiesSpectroscopy of mesons, baryons, and exotics

• Study of multi-quark states (formation, spectroscopy, and decay) can provide a testing ground for precision QCD calculations in Lattice QCD.

Our knowledge of the true nature of the theory of stronginteractions is still limited and uncertain. - Ken Wilson

Summary

• Most exotic states predicted in QCD are not confirmed, even after ~40 years of QCD success in describing the Strong Interactions.

• Recent observation LHCb pentaquark and further X Y Z states are most welcome!

• We expect to see in 5-10 years precision tests of QCD via Lattice QCD aided by supercomputers.
