Investigating topped hadrons to probe the boundaries of the potential model

Abstract

Inspired by the recent discovery of a pseudoscalar enhancement structure near the $t\bar{t}$ threshold reported by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations, this work investigates the mass spectra of single topped hadrons-including both topped mesons and topped baryons-based on a relativistic potential model. Using the same parameters obtained from the fit to mesons and baryons, we provide predictions for the mass spectra of ground and low-lying orbitally excited single topped mesons and baryons. In addition, we point out that the precise measurement of the $t\bar{t}$ mass could test the limitation of the potential model. Given the extremely large mass of the topped quark, we discuss spectroscopic properties of topped hadrons in the approximation of an ideal heavy-quark limit.
