We discuss the status of both conventional and unconventional mesons between 1 and 2 GeV by using hadronic models that describe their masses, strong, and radiative decays. Various conventional quark-antiquark states are considered: some of them, such as the tensor mesons with JPC=2++ and mesons with JPC=3−−, form well established nonets, while other, such as the axial-tensor mesons with JPC=2−−, are poorly known and still need experimental detection. Then, we also present latest results for some non-conventional candidates, such as the case of hybrid mesons with JPC=1−+ that includes the recently discovered resonance η(1855)
Using large datasets on the charmonium resonances J/ψ, ψ(3686) and ψ(3770) as well as at various other center-of-mass energies between 3.8 and 5.0 GeV, the BESIII experiment has a strong hadron spectroscopy program in both the light-quark and charmonium sectors. During this talk, recent highlights will be presented including studies of gluon-rich radiative J/ψ decays, the observation of a new iso-vector state in weak decays of open-charm mesons and updates on the spectroscopy of charmonium-like XYZ states.
In this talk, the speaker will present recent results from the Joint Physics Analysis Center (JPAC) collaboration. He will discuss the recent calculation of exclusive and semi-inclusive photoproduction of some XYZ mesons, both in the low- and high-energy regimes. The speaker will also present results concerning the decays V to 3pi with Khuri-Treiman equations, with V either the omega or the J/ψ meson.
Understanding the dynamics of hadrons with different quark content is crucial to solve fundamental aspects of QCD as well as for the implications on the structure of dense stellar objects, such as neutron stars.
The scarce statistics collected in old scattering experiments for reactions involving unstable hadrons, in particular in the strange quark sector, strongly affect the accuracy of the current theoretical interaction models. Additionally, the modeling of dense nuclear matter requires a precise knowledge of three-body forces, for which a direct measurement is still missing.
In the past several years the use of correlation techniques, applied to particle pairs produced in high-energy collider experiments, have been proven capable of complementing and expanding the knowledge of hadronic interactions, especially in the strangeness sector. The present contribution provides an overview of the milestones reached by the ALICE Collaboration using the femtoscopy technique in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV. The main highlights are the unprecedented precision studies of the interaction of hadrons containing strange quarks, alongside the extension of the analysis methods to the three-body sector, aiming to experimentally probe the three-body interactions.
In the context of the HF workshop, the speaker will present one specific project among the ongoing ones within HonexComb: the work on the quarkonium feed-downs.
The speaker will introduce the motivation, difficulties and experimental status of the W-boson mass measurement, with special focus on the strong interaction effects of interest to this workshop
The speaker will first briefly review the concept of jets, which have been used in collider physics since more than four decades, and of their substructure, which is comparably a relatively new concept. For most of the talk, the speaker will introduce a new tool, referred as the "Lund plane", explain its main physics advantage and show that it has a broad range of application in today's collider phenomenology
The deficit of muons in the simulation of extensive air showers is a long-standing problem and the origin of large uncertainties in the reconstruction of the mass of the high energy primary cosmic rays. Hadronic interaction models, re-tuned after early LHC data, have a more consistent description of the muon content among them but still disagree with data. Collective hadronization due to the formation of a quark gluon plasma (QGP) has already been studied as a possible cause for a larger production of muons under extreme conditions (rare, very central nuclear interactions), but without real success. However, in the view of the most recent LHC data, a collective hadronization phase might not only be limited to such extreme conditions. And because of its different ratio of electromagnetic to hadronic energy, a QGP may have the properties to solve the muon puzzle. This hypothesis is demonstrated using a theoretical approach and tested in a proper way by the modification of hadronic model spectra in CONEX to mimic the production of a QGP also in less extreme conditions with a possible large impact on air shower physics
In this talk we present a selection of recent results for heavy quark and quarkonia production. Moreover, we present NLOAccess, one of the two Virtual Access of the STRONG-2020 program, showing how scientific results can be obtained online in an automated way.
In this talk, the speaker will present some recent results obtained within the VA2 3DPartons work package. The focus is on the hadronic structure that encompasses the study of some relevant partonic distributions such as generalised parton distributions (GPDs), transverse momentum dependent distributions (TMDs), generalised TMDs, as well as fragmentation functions (FFs). On top of the physics achievements, the speaker will stress the resulting developments of the numerical infrastructure
This talk will explain why double J/ψ production in proton-proton collisions is a promising process to study gluon TMDs. The speaker will touch upon the azimuthal asymmetries that arise in this process and the TMD evolution that is included in the computations. To conclude, the speaker will present some numerical results from F. Scarpa and A. Colpani and refer to some other interesting studies.
An electron-ion collider (EIC) is planned to be built in the US at BNL, with start of construction foreseen early 2030. The aim of the EIC is the investigation of the nucleon (spin) structure, saturation effects, hadronisation, and an improved understanding of the hadron mass. Measurements of quarkonium production can contribute to this effort. Predictions of measurements of inclusive, semi-inclusive and exclusive quarkonium production at the EIC will be presented, in parallel with the corresponding measurements at the LHC
Strong interactions play a fundamental role in shaping how ions and protons interact with matter. An interesting kinetic energy range to study such interactions is in between 100 MeV/un and 1000 MeV/u: the nuclear fragmentation cross sections measured in that range have a significant importance in developing the nuclear models needed in particle therapy (PT) and space radio protection (SRP) applications. You can either study the projectiles used for cancer treatment or the protons and ions that are hitting astronauts in their long, outside earth, missions: energies are in a similar range, and the experimental data is in both cases the key to more robust and effective treatments or a better and more affordable shielding! After a quick introduction of PT and SRP landscapes, the talk will review the status of the experimental quests towards more precise cross section measurements in the relevant energy range and their impact in the field.
