Confining Potential Mode in Baryons Spectrum

Based on the flux tube model, the effects of the confining potentials of different configurations, namely the △-type and the Y-type, on the spectra of baryons are studied on SUSF（6） basis. The baryon spectra are obtained in a unified manner. Our result shows that by employing either the △-mode or the Y-mode confining potential, one can achieve reasonable baryon spectra. The △-mode may be mostly effective for the short- and medium-distances, while the Y-mode may offer more contributions to the spectra for long-distances. Although the binding energies in baryon spectra may deviate by a few to several tens MeV for different modes, it is hard to determine either one to be dominant by simply evaluating the baryon spectra. One may need to invoke the baryon decay process to make further judgement.

Lifetime of Doubly Charmed Baryons

In this work, we evaluate the lifetimes of the doubly charmed baryons Ξcc^＋ ,Ξcc^＋＋, and Ωcc^＋. We carefully calculate the non-spectator contributions at the quark level, where the Cabibbo-suppressed diagrams are also included. The hadronic matrix elements are evaluated in the simple non-relativistic harmonic oscillator model. Our numerical results are generally consistent with that obtained by other authors who used the diquark model. However, all the theoretical predictions on the lifetimes are one order larger than the upper limit set by the recent SELEX measurement. This discrepancy would be clarified by the future experiment. If more accurate experiment still confirms the value of the SELEX collaboration, there must be some unknown mechanism to be explored.

Predicting the Neutron and Proton Masses Based on Baryons which Are Yang-Mills Magnetic Monopoles and Koide Mass Triplets

We show how the Koide relationships and associated triplet mass matrices can be generalized to derive the observed sum of the free neutron and proton rest masses in terms of the up and down current quark masses and the Fermi vev to six parts in 10,000. This sum can then be solved for the separate neutron and proton masses using the neutron minus proton mass difference derived by the author in a recent, separate paper. The oppositely-signed charges of the up and down quarks are responsible for the appearance of a complex phase exp(iδ) and real rotation angle θ which leads on an independent basis to mass and mixing matrices similar to that of Cabibbo, Kobayashi and Maskawa (CKM). These can then be used to specify the neutron and proton mass relationships to unlimited accuracy using θ as a nucleon fitting angle deduced from empirical data. This fitting angle is then shown to be related to an invariant of the CKM mixing angles within experimental errors. Also developed is a master mass and mixing matrix which may help to interconnect all baryon and quark masses and mixing angles. The Koide generalizations developed here enable these neutron and proton mass relationships to be given a Lagrangian formulation based on neutron and proton field strength tensors that contain vacuum-amplified and current quark wavefunctions and masses. In the course of development, we also uncover new Koide relationships for the neutrinos, the up quarks, and the down quarks.

Grand Unified SU(8) Gauge Theory Based on Baryons which Are Yang-Mills Magnetic Monopoles

Based on the thesis that baryons including protons and neutrons are Yang-Mills magnetic monopoles which the author has previously developed and which has been confirmed by over half a dozen empirically-accurate predictions, we develop a GUT that is rooted in the SU(4) subgroups for the proton/electron and neutron/neutrino which were used as the basis for these predictions. The SU(8) GUT group so-developed leads following three stages of symmetry breaking to all known phenomenology including a neutrino that behaves differently from other fermions, lepto-quark separation, replication of fermions into exactly three generations, the Cabibbo mixing of those generations, weak interactions which are left-chiral, and all four of the gravitational, strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. The next steps based on this development will be to calculate the masses and energies associated with the vacuum terms of the Lagrangian, to see if additional empirical confirmations can be achieved, especially for the proton and neutron and the fermion masses.

A Simple Physical Approach to Study Spectrum of Baryons

The exact solution of Sehrodinger equation corresponding to a baryonic system is the main interest in the present work. We take into account both quadratic and Coulomb terms in the potential relation. Next, after presenting an exact solution, we have calculated the spin and isospin effects in both ground and excited states. The results are comparable with experimental data.

Investigation and Study of the Effects of Hyperfine Interaction on the Mass of Baryons N and Δ

The following article has been retracted due to the investigation of complaints received against it. Mr. Mohammadali Ghorbani (corresponding author and also the last author) cheated the authors’ name: Alireza Heidari and Seyedali Vedad. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and we treat all unethical behavior such as plagiarism seriously. This paper published in Vol.3 No.6 492-495, 2012, has been removed from this site.

Invisible and semi-invisible decays of bottom baryons

The similar densities of dark matter and baryons in the universe imply that they may arise from the same ultraviolet model.B-Mesogenesis,which assumes dark matter is charged under the baryon number,attempts to simultaneously explain the origin of baryon asymmetry and dark matter in the universe.In particular,B-Mesogenesis may induce bottom-baryon decays into invisible or semi-invisible final states,which provide a distinctive signal for probing this scenario.In this work,we systematically study the invisible decays of bottom baryons into dark matter and the semi-invisible decays of bottom baryons into a meson or a photon together with a dark matter particle.In particular,the fully invisible decay can reveal the stable particles in B-Mesogenesis.Some QCD-based frameworks are used to calculate the hadronic matrix elements under the B-Mesogenesis model.We estimate the constraints on the Wilson coefficients or the product of some new physics couplings with the Wilson coefficients according to the semi-invisible and invisible decays of bottom baryons detectable at future colliders.

Investigation of Z-boson decay into Ξ_(bc) and Ξ_(bb) baryons within the NRQCD factorization approach

Z-boson decay provides a good opportunity to search for theΞbQ baryon because a large number of its events can be collected at high energy colliders.In this paper,we perform a complete investigation of the indirect production of theΞbc andΞbb baryons via the Z-boson decay process Z→Ξbo+b+Q with a Q=(c,b)quark under the NRQCD factorization approach.After considering the contibution from the diquark states(be)PSil3/6,<bc)[^(1)Sol3/6,(bb)[^(3)Sol6,and(bb)[3S1l3,the calculated branching fractions are B(Z-→Ξbe+X)=3.595×10^(-5)and B(Z→Ξbb+X)=1.213×10^(-6).Furthermore,theΞbe andΞbb production events are predicted to be of the order of 104 and 103 at the LHC collider,and the order of 107 and 106 for the CEPC collider.We then estimate the produc tion ratio for Z→c2(bb)→Ξbc+X withΞbc→Λ^(+)_(c)in Z-boson decay,that is,R(Z→cc→Ξ0bc+X)~0(10^(-6))br and R(Z→bb→Ξbc+X)~0(10^(-5)),respectively.Finally,we present the differential decay widths ofΞbc andΞbb with respect to 823 and z distributions and analyze the uncertainties.

Systematic analysis of strange single heavy baryons Ξ_(c) and Ξ_(b)

Motivated by the experimental progress in the study of heavy baryons,we investigate the mass spectra of strange single heavy baryons in theλ-mode,using the relativistic quark model and the infinitesimally shifted Gaussian basis function method.We show that experimental results are well captured using the predicted masses.The root mean square radii and radial probability density distributions of the wave functions are analyzed in detail.Meanwhile,the mass spectra allow us to successfully construct the Regge trajectories in the(J,M^(2))plane.We also preliminarily assign quantum numbers to the recently observed baryons,includingΞ_(c)(3055),Ξ_(c)(3080),Ξ_(c)(2930),Ξ_(c)(2923),Ξ_(c)(2939),Ξ_(c)(2965),Ξ_(c)(2970),Ξ_(c)(3123),Ξ_(b)(6100),Ξ_(b)(6227),Ξ_(b)(6327),andΞ_(b)(6333).Finally,the spectral structure of strange single heavy baryons is discussed.Accordingly,we predict several new baryons that may be observed in forthcoming experiments.

Static properties and semileptonic transitions of lowest-lying doubleheavy baryons

The static properties and semileptonic decays of ground-state doubly heavy baryons are studied in the framework of a non-relativistic quark model.Using a phenomenological potential model,we calculate the ground-state masses and magnetic moments of doubly heavy Ω and Ξ baryons.In the heavy quark limit,we introduce a simple form of the universal Isgur-Wise function used as the transition form factor and then investigate the exclusive b→c semileptonic decay widths and branching fractions for 1/2→1/2 baryon transitions.Our obtained results are in agreement with other theoretical predictions.

Possible molecular states from interactions of charmed strange baryons

In this study,we investigate possible molecular states composed of two charmed strange baryons from theΞ_(c)^((′,∗))Ξ_(c)^((′,∗))interaction and their hidden-charm hidden-strange partners from theΞ_(c)^((′,∗))Ξ¯_(c)^((′,∗))interaction.With the aid of heavy quark chiral effective Lagrangians,the interactions of charmed strange baryons are described with light meson exchanges.The potential kernels are constructed and inserted into the quasipotential Bethe–Salpeter equation.The bound states are produced from most interactions considered,which suggests that strong attractions exist widely between the charmed strange baryons.Experimental search for these types of molecular states is suggested in future high-precision measurements.

Charmed baryons circa 2015

This is essentially an update of Ref. [1] [H. Y. Cheng, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A 24 （Suppl. 1）, 593 （2009）], a review of charmed baryon physics around 2007. Topics covered in this review include the spectroscopy, strong decays, lifetimes, nonleptonic and semileptonic weak decays, and electromagnetic decays of charmed baryons.

Spectra of charmed and bottom baryons with hyperfine interaction

Up to now, the excited charmed and bottom baryon states have still not been well studied experimentally or theoretically. In this paper, we predict the mass of Ωb, the only L=0 baryon state which has not been observed, to be 6069.2 MeV. The spectra of charmed and bottom baryons with the orbital angular momentum L= 1 are studied in two popular constituent quark models, the Goldstone boson exchange （GBE） model and the one gluon exchange （OGE） hyperfine interaction model. Inserting the latest experimental data from the ＂Review of Particle Physics＂, we find that in the GBE model, there exist some multiplets （∑c（b）, ≡c（b） and Ωc（b）） in which the total spin of the three quarks in their lowest energy states is 3/2, but in the OGE model there is no such phenomenon. This is the most important difference between the GBE and OGE models. These results can be tested in the near future. We suggest more efforts to study the excited charmed and bottom baryons both theoretically and experimentally, not only for the abundance of baryon spectra, but also for determining which hyperfine interaction model best describes nature.

Triply heavy baryons in the constituent quark model

The constituent quark model is used to compute the ground and excited state masses of QQQ baryons containing either c or b quarks.The quark model parameters previously used to describe the properties of charmonium and bottomonium states were used in this analysis.The non-relativistic three-body bound state problem is solved by means of the Gaussian expansion method which provides sufficient accuracy and simplifies the subsequent evaluation of the matrix elements.Several low-lying states with quantum numbers J^P=1/2^±,3/2^±,5/2^±and 7/2^+are reported.We compare the results with those obtained by the other theoretical formalisms.There is a general agreement for the mass of the ground state in each sector of triply heavy baryons.However,the situation is more puzzling for the excited states,and appropriate comments about the most relevant features of our comparison are given.

Possible hidden-charm molecular baryons composed of an anti-charmed meson and a charmed baryon

Using the one-boson-exchange model,we studied the possible existence of very loosely bound hidden-charm molecular baryons composed of an anti-charmed meson and a charmed baryon.Our numerical results indicate that the Σ c ＊ and Σ c states exist,but that the Λ c and Λ c ＊ molecular states do not.

Study of baryon number transport dynamics and strangeness conservation effects using Ω-hadron correlations

In nuclear collisions at RHIC energies, an excess of Ω hyperons over ■ is observed, indicating that Ω has a net baryon number despite s and s quarks being produced in pairs. The baryon number in Ω may have been transported from the incident nuclei and/or produced in the baryon-pair production of Ω with other types of anti-hyperons such as Ξ. To investigate these two scenarios, we propose to measure the correlations between Ω and K and between Ω and anti-hyperons. We use two versions, the default and string-melting, of a multiphase transport(AMPT) model to illustrate the method for measuring the correlation and to demonstrate the general shape of the correlation. We present the Ω-hadron correlations from simulated Au+Au collisions at ■ =7.7 and 14.6 Ge V and discuss the dependence on the collision energy and on the hadronization scheme in these two AMPT versions. These correlations can be used to explore the mechanism of baryon number transport and the effects of baryon number and strangeness conservation on nuclear collisions.
