Looking for a gift of Nature: Hadron loops and hybrid mixing
F. E. Close, C. E. Thomas
We investigate how coupling of valence q qbar to meson pairs can modify the properties of conventional q qbar and hybrid mesons. In a symmetry limit the mixing between hybrids and…
Scalar glueball production in hadronic decays
Q. Zhao, F. E. Close
The recent data for hadronic decays from BES raise ``puzzles" about the scalar meson properties, which are different from the naive OZI rule expectation. In this work, we stu…
Pentaquark Symmetries, Selection Rules and another potentially Narrow State
F. E. Close, J. J. Dudek
We identify essential differences between the pentaquark and chiral soliton models of \10bar and {\bf 8} pentaquarks and conventional {\bf 8} states, which are experime…
The partner to the baryon
J. J. Dudek, F. E. Close
If the exotic baryon is with , we predict that there is a \10bar with containing a . The width $Γ(Θ^* \to KN)…
The "forbidden" decays of hybrid mesons to can be large
F. E. Close, J. J. Dudek
The observation of is shown in the flux-tube model to be compatible with this state being a hybrid meson with branching ratio to this channel . The $πρ…
Symmetry breaking and quark-hadron duality in structure functions
F. E. Close, W. Melnitchouk
We identify conditions under which a summation over nucleon resonances can yield, via quark-hadron duality, parton model results for electromagnetic and neutrino structure function…
