Advanced Statistical Analysis of Linear and Nonlinear Regge Trajectories for Light Non-strange Mesons

S. S. Afonin

A rigorous statistical analysis of Regge-type trajectories for light non-strange meson mass spectra is carried out, which explicitly accounts for experimental uncertainties. We tes…

Linearity, Nonlinearity and Universality of Regge Trajectories in Light Mesons: a Statistical Approach

S. S. Afonin

The masses of light non-strange mesons can be parameterized as a function of the radial quantum number and the orbital angular momentum . We perform a comprehensive statisti…

Hydrogen-like symmetry in Regge spectrum of light mesons: selection of states

S. S. Afonin, A. V. Sarantsev, A. M. Tsymbal

We discuss the -classification of excited light non-strange mesons, where and are orbital and radial quantum numbers. The selection of true non-strange quark-antiqua…

Quark model of nucleon based on an analogy with polaron

S. S. Afonin, A. V. Tulub

We demonstrate that the polaron theory from solid state physics can serve as an interesting analogue model for non-perturbative QCD, at least in the description of nucleons and rel…

The experimental observation of : Long awaited from Regge approach

S. S. Afonin

Recently, the BABAR (in 2021), BESIII (in 2022), and LHCb (in 2023) Collaborations reported the observation of the resonance. This has sparked a lively debate in the li…

Dynamical -Symmetry in the Light Meson Spectrum within the Framework of the Regge Approach

Sergey Afonin, Alisa Tsymbal

The light mesons tend to cluster near certain values of mass. As was noticed almost twenty years ago, the emergent degeneracy is of the same type as the dynamical -symmetry o…
