The hidden charm of hadrons Stephen L. Olsen University of Hawai’i Representing Belle Invited talk at the Tampa APS/DPF meeting, April 19, 2005
test of QCD: “running” s
Probe QCD from other directions non-qq or non-qqq hadron spectroscopies: Pentaquarks: e.g. an S=+1 baryon Glueballs: gluon-gluon color singlet states Multi-quark mesons: qq-gluon hybrid mesons uc u c cc u d u s d
This talk: search for non-standard mesons with “hidden charm” standard cc mesons are: –best understood theoretically –narrow & non overlapping c + c systems are commonly produced in B meson decays. b c c s V cb cos C CKM favored W-W- cc uc u c (i.e containing c & c)
Thanks to KEKB, Belle has lots of B mesons (>1M BB pairs/day) >1fb -1 /day Design: 10 34

Y(3940): What is it? Charmonium? –Conventional wisdom: J/ should not be a discovery mode for a cc state with mass above DD & DD* threshold! Some kind of -J/ threshold interaction? –the J/ is not surrounded by brown muck; can it act like an ordinary hadron? J/ Brambilla et al (QWG) hep-ph/
Y(3940): What is it (cont’d) ? another tetraquark? –M ≈ 2m Ds –not seen in Y J/ ( contains ss) –width too large?? –no exchange for D S D S s c s c ?? PRL 93, M( J/ )
Y(3940): What is it (cont’d) ? cc-gluon hybrid? –predicted by QCD, –decays to DD and DD* are suppressed (“open-charm” thresh = m D + m D** = 4.3 GeV) –large hadron+J/ widths are predicted –masses expected to be 4.3 ~ 4.4 GeV (higher than what we see) cc Horn & Mandula PRD (1974) + (many) others
Summary X(3872): –J PC established as 1 ++ –cc component is small (≤ few %) –all properties consistent with a D 0 D* 0 bound state uc u c a non-standard meson Y(3940): –No obvious cc assignment –tetraquark seems unlikely –cc-gluon hybrid? cc ????? - Lots to do: determine J PC ; find other modes (DD*, D s D s, …?)
