Relativistic Symmetry Suppresses Quark Spin-Orbit Splitting
Philip R. Page, Terry Goldman, Joseph. N. Ginocchio
Experimental data indicate small spin-orbit splittings in hadrons. For heavy-light mesons we identify a relativistic symmetry that suppresses these splittings. We suggest an experi…
Hybrid Meson Decay Phenomenology
P. R. Page, E. S. Swanson, A. P. Szczepaniak
The phenomenology of a newly developed model of hybrid meson decay is developed. The decay mechanism is based on the heavy quark expansion of QCD and the strong coupling flux tube…
The Photoproduction of Hybrid Mesons from Cebaf to HERA
F. E. Close, P. R. Page
Decay widths, branching ratios and production dynamics of some recently discovered , and mesons are found to be in remarkable agreement wi…
The Production and Decay of Hybrid Mesons by Flux-Tube Breaking
F. E. Close, P. R. Page
An analytic calculation of the breaking of excited chromoelectric flux-tubes is performed in an harmonic oscillator approximation and applied to predict the dynamics of all $J^{PC}…
