Bumps and poles in the S-matrix: A systematic study of 0 sup ++ and 2 sup ++ mesons plus a molecule approach to the E(1420) in the K K. pi. system

Description: The goal of Hadron Spectroscopy is to find the spectrum of states formed by color singlet arrangements of quarks and gluons. Ideally these spectral states are associated with poles of the scattering matrix of hadrons which are the decay channels of the states. For example the {rho} meson is the lowest q{bar q} s-wave, spin one color singlet state and decays into {pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -}. Since the {rho}decays in a relative p-wave, one finds the {rho} pole in the I = 1 p-wave {pi}{pi} phase shifts… more

Two-photon couplings of quarkonia with arbitrary angular momenta

Description: The observation of a large {gamma}{gamma} width for the {sup 1}D{sub 2} q{bar q} state {pi}{sub 2}(1670) suggests that the {gamma}{gamma} couplings of many orbitally-excited light q{bar q} states may be experimentally accessible. In this talk we present {gamma}{gamma} helicity amplitudes for q{bar q} states with general angular momenta {sup 1}l{sub j} and {sup 3}l{sub j}, and note some relations and selection rules that may be useful in spectroscopic classification of orbital excitations. 14 re… more

T,b, and new particle searches at p p colliders

Description: Experiments at the p{bar p} colliders at CERN and FNAL have an active program of heavy flavor physics. Recently, CDF at FNAL and UA1 at CERN have measured rare decays of the {Beta}{sup 0} {minus} {bar {Beta}}{sup 0} mixing. CDF has signals for {Beta}{sup {plus minus}} {yields} J/{psi}K{sup {plus minus}} and {Beta}{sup 0} {yields} J/{psi}K{sup *0}. Both CDF and UA1 have set limits on the branching ratio of {Beta}{sup 0} {yields} {mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup {minus}} and have measured {Beta}{sup 0} {minus… more

Search for the. Lambda. sub b baryon at CDF

Description: The {Lambda}{sub b} baryon has been observed recently by UA1 through its decay {Lambda}{sub b} {yields} J/{psi}{Lambda}{degrees}. Although CDF finds twice as many J/{psi} and observes {Lambda}{degrees} decays, no evidence for an {Lambda}{sub b} signal is seen. The UA1 data supports a lower than expected production P{sub T} for the {Lambda}{sub b}, and therefore, a lower pion P{sub T}, below the observation threshold of CDF. This result suggests that UA1 and CDF are probably not inconsistent, bu… more

Review of the heavy ion physics sessions

Description: The parallel sessions on Heavy Ion Physics covered several areas of recent progress in characterizing the nuclear equation of state and the search for deconfined quark matter. Studies of systems from 1 to several hundred GeV/nucleon have been made in order to map the behavior of nuclear matter over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. We have also considered results from proton-nucleus reactions in the heavy ion physics discussions. This should help untangle nuclear effects'' due to the … more

D0 papers on B-physics submitted to DPF '96: b-quark inclusive cross sections and b anti-b correlations using dimuons from the D0 experiment; Single muon production in the forward region at [radical]s=1. 8 TEV; Rapidity dependence of the inclusive J[psi] production in the forward region [radical]s=1. 8 TEV; A search for b [r arrow] X[mu][sup +][mu][sup [minus]] and B[sup 0] [r arrow] [mu][sup +][mu][sup [minus]] decays in p anti-p collisions at [radical]s=1. 8 TEV

Description: Paper 1: Using dimuons collected with the D0 detector during the 1993--1995 Tevatron collider run, the authors have measured the b-quark cross section and b[anti b] correlations as given by the difference in azimuthal angle between the two muons. Both measurements agree with the NLO QCD predictions within experimental and theoretical errors. (Three other papers are included in this report.)

Relativistic heavy ions physics

Description: Central nuclear collisions at energies far above 1 GeV/nucleon may provide for conditions, where the transition from highly excited hadronic matter into quark matter or quark-gluon plasma can be probed. We review current ideas about the nature of, and signals for, this transition, and we discuss the (hadronic) string model approach to the nuclear collisions dynamics. At even higher energies in the TeV/nucleon range peripheral nuclear collisions may become a laboratory for electroweak physics at… more

Theoretical particle physics. Progress report, December 1, 1079-November 30, 1980. [Physics Dept. , Indiana Univ]

Description: Work during the past year ranged from phenomenological studies of various quark systems to applications of quantum chromodynamics and lattice gauge theories. On the phenomenological side for mesons, studies of the charmonium and bottomonium families as well as the spectrum of states containing a single b-quark continued. As a result of some improved measurements, the topic of baryon magnetic moments was reconsidered. At the same time the properties of highly excited 3-quark systems were conside… more

Hunt for the 1/sup 1/P/sub 1/ bound state of charmonium

Description: Using the Crystal Ball detector at SPEAR, we have looked for evidence of the isospin-violating decay psi' ..-->.. ..pi../sup 01/P/sub 1/, where /sup 1/P/sub 1/ is the predicted spin-singlet p-wave bound state of charmonium. For a /sup 1/P/sub 1/ state at the predicted mass (approx. 3520 MeV), we obtain the 95% confidence level limits: BR(psi' ..-->.. ..pi../sup 01/P/sub 1/) < 0.55%, BR(psi' ..-->.. ..pi../sup 01/P/sub 1/)BR(/sup 1/P/sub 1/ ..-->.. ..gamma..n/sub c/ < 0.14%.
