Observation of a hybrid meson at the KEK Laboratory (Belle Collaboration).

The new meson is known as the Y(3940). It may be a hybrid meson containing a charm quark, a

charm antiquark and a gluon . It decays into omega and J/psi

LQCD predicts the presence of about 15 glueballs in the mass range accessible to the HESR (< 4.5 GeV/C2)

Physics Motivation

Electromagnetic form factors of hadrons in the space-like and time-like regions provide fundamental informations on their structure and internal dynamics.

Till now, the available data in the time-like-region are limited by low statistics. The |Ge| and |Gm| separation could not be done without assumptions.

The numerical values of |Gm| in the region explored by Fermilab (E760, E835) are approximately twice as large as those in the corresponding space-like region.

The space-like FF are reals, The time-like form factors have a phase structure reflecting the final or initial state interaction of the hadrons.

The JLab results show us that the Pauli/Dirac ratio is not observed to fall with the nominal expected power and make critical to carefully measure and separate the time-like Gm and Ge form factors

With polarized proton-antiproton reactions, the measurement of the proton FF in the time-like region should strongly discriminate between the different models suggested to fit the proton FF in the space-like region.

Events selection

The analysis of the data is based on the identification of the coplanar e+e- pairs tracks collinear in the CMS with an invariant mass compatible with the center of mass energy of the p barp system.

Simulations of the signal and backgrounds are in progress.

Below 90 degrees, identification by ECAL is sufficient

CONCLUSION:

Might be of help in the backward region

Other criteria for a better separation have to be worked out (TPC, DIRC, Scint. )

Py is the normal polarization to the scattering plane of the outgoing hadron in annihilation e+e- to p barp

The polarization Py does not require polarization in the initial state.

The measurement of the SSA would strongly discriminate between the models suggested to fit the proton Ge/Gm data in the space like region

Conclusion

Separation of |Ge| and |Gm| in the time-like region with the detector PANDA up to

S > 15 GeV2. With a transversely polarized proton

target, we would determine the relative phase between Ge and Gm by measuring the transverse single spin asymmetry.
