Hidden-heavy Pentaquarks in the Born-Oppenheimer Approximation for QCD

Fareed Alasiri, Eric Braaten, Roberto Bruschini

Hidden-heavy pentaquarks can be identified as bound states in diabatic Born-Oppenheimer potentials that are repulsive color-Coulomb potentials at short distance, cross below a heav…

and its Partners in the Diabatic Born-Oppenheimer Approximation for QCD

Fareed Alasiri, Eric Braaten, Roberto Bruschini

In the Born-Oppenheimer approximation for QCD, the exotic hidden-charm tetraquark meson is a near-threshold bound state in Born-Oppenheimer potentials associated wit…

Hidden-Heavy Pentaquarks and Where to Find Them

Fareed Alasiri, Eric Braaten, Roberto Bruschini

We provide a simple explanation for the observed hidden-charm pentaquarks as bound states in Born-Oppenheimer potentials. We identify , …

Exotic Hidden-heavy Hadrons and Where to Find Them

Eric Braaten, Roberto Bruschini

The Born-Oppenheimer potentials for QCD with light quarks include adjoint-hadron potentials that are repulsive at short distances and heavy-hadron-pair potentials that approach thr…

Explaining Snowball-in-hell Phenomena in Heavy-ion Collisions Using a Novel Thermodynamic Variable

Eric Braaten, Kevin Ingles, Justin Pickett

A loosely bound hadronic molecule produced by a relativistic heavy-ion collision has been described as a ``snowball in hell'' since it emerges from a hadron resonance gas whose tem…

Model-independent predictions for decays of hidden-heavy hadrons into pairs of heavy hadrons

E. Braaten, R. Bruschini

Hidden-heavy hadrons can decay into pairs of heavy hadrons through transitions from confining Born-Oppenheimer potentials to hadron-pair potentials with the same Born-Oppenheimer q…

Axion Stars

Eric Braaten, Hong Zhang

The particle that makes up the dark matter of the universe could be an axion or axion-like particle. A collection of axions can condense into a bound Bose-Einstein condensate calle…

Parton Model Calculation of Inclusive Charm Production by a Low-energy Antiproton Beam

E. Braaten, P. Artoisenet

The cross section for inclusive charm production by a low-energy antiproton beam is calculated using the parton model and next-to-leading order perturbative QCD. For an antiproton…
