Canonical description of the new LHCb resonances

arXiv:1608.01325 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.94.114018

Abstract

The LHCb Collaboration has recently observed four structures called , , and in the decays. We study them herein using a nonrelativistic constituent quark model in which the degrees of freedom are quark-antiquark and meson-meson components. The resonance appears as a cusp in the channel due to the near coincidence of the and mass thresholds. The remaining three , and appear as conventional charmonium states with quantum numbers , and , respectively; and whose masses and widths are slightly modified due to their coupling with the corresponding closest meson-meson thresholds. A particular feature of our quark model is a lattice-based screened linear confining interaction that has been constrained in the light quark sector and usually produces higher excited heavy-quark states with lower masses than standard quark model predictions.
