S-wave flavor-singlet meson mixing in QCD with light and charm quarks

Abstract

We investigate the mixing between flavor-singlet light meson and charmonium operators in the S-wave channels, i.e. pseudo-scalar and vector channel, at two different pion masses. We measure statistically significant non-zero correlations between operators with different quark content corresponding to off-diagonal entries of a flavor-singlet mixing correlation matrix. By solving a GEVP we extract the low-lying energy spectrum and compare it with the one obtained by the different types of operators separately. We also calculate the overlaps between the states created by different operators and the energy eigenstates of the theory and find that all types of operators contribute to resolve the states of interest.
