Malte Albrecht (Jefferson Lab)5/28/24, 10:05โฏAMSpectroscopy of light mesons and baryons
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) provides a theoretical framework for understanding interactions among quarks and gluons within hadrons. However, the influence of gluonic excitations on hadron characteristics and structure remains uncertain. Recent discoveries of potentially ex- otic hadrons underscore the need for precise spectroscopic measurements to decipher the strong force. This discussion...

Gloria Montana (Jefferson Lab)5/28/24, 11:20โฏAMModels for partial-wave and amplitude analyses
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab has collected an unprecedented amount of data and will continue to do so on the production of light mesons with a polarized photon beam. These data can provide detailed insights into the photoproduction mechanisms, but their interpretation requires a parallel theoretical effort. In the high energy regime studied by GlueX, the photoproduction of single...

Nathaniel Hoffman (Carnegie Mellon University)5/28/24, 11:50โฏAMSpectroscopy of light mesons and baryons
The GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab probes the spectrum of light hadrons with a $6-12\text{ GeV}$ linearly polarized beam. We study the $\gamma p\to K_S K_S p$ channel at GlueX to investigate the production of light flavorless mesons with even spin, namely the $f$ and $a$ mesons. The $f_0$ states in the $1-2\text{ GeV}/c^2$ mass range are particularly interesting, as there are too many for...

The COMPASS experiment is a multi-purpose two-stage spectrometer located at the CERN SPS. One of its main goals is the investigation of the excitation spectrum of light mesons in diffractive reactions. One of the final states produced at COMPASS is $K_S^0 K^-$, in which only selected resonances, the $a_J$ states with even $J$, can appear at COMPASSโ high beam energies. Performing a...

Da Yu Tou (Tsinghua University)5/28/24, 2:00โฏPMSpectroscopy of heavy mesons, baryons, and exotic hadrons with heavy quarks
The discovery of the pentaquark candidate in the amplitude analysis of Lb -> J/psi p K decays in 2015 has ignited an interest in heavy hadron spectroscopy at the LHCb experiment. This has lead to further discoveries of more pentaquark candidates at the LHCb experiment, notably in Bs -> J/psi p pbar and B -> J/psi Lambda p decays. A majority of these experimental discoveries rely heavily on...

Kai Habermann (University of Bonn)5/28/24, 2:45โฏPMAdvanced tools and methods for partial-wave and amplitude analyses
In the helicity formalism the task of calculating the correct roations between two systems is non trivial. While it can be done in an analytical manner for three body decays, this is not the case for decays involving more particles. To reassure consistent treatment of quantization axes for particles with spin, a series of boosts and rotations has to be translated into one set of angles known...

B^{\pm} \to DK^+{\pm}, Dโ>K_S pi+ pi- and related decay modes provide an exceptionally precise way to measure the CP violating parameter gamma, one of the key measurements at LHCb and BELLE II. In order to avoid the theory uncertainties related to the description of the multi body D decay, model-independent methods are used - these use charm threshold (CLEO-c / BESIII data) to constrain the...

Jozef Dudek (JLab)5/28/24, 4:15โฏPMSpectroscopy of light mesons and baryons
We present the first calculation in lattice QCD of the process $\gamma K \to K\pi$ in which the narrow $K^*$ vector resonance appears. Using a lattice on which the pion has a mass of 284 MeV, we determine the transition amplitude at 128 points in the $(Q^2, E_{K\!\pi})$ plane, and find suitable resonant scattering descriptions. We demonstrate the need to account for $S$--wave $K\pi$ elastic...

Stefan Wallner (Max Planck Institute for Physics)5/28/24, 4:45โฏPMSpectroscopy of light mesons and baryons
A precise and complete measurement of the excitation spectrum of light mesons allows us to study QCD in the non-perturbative regime and is an important input to other studies, e.g., of $B$ meson decays. While the non-strange light-meson spectrum is already mapped out rather well, the strange-meson spectrum may hold many surprises, as almost no new data have been available for the last 20...

Prof. Mikhail Mikhasenko (Ruhr Univeristy Bochum)5/28/24, 5:15โฏPMModels for partial-wave and amplitude analyses
The reproducibility of complex amplitude models from published papers poses a significant challenge in high-energy physics, hindering progress and reliability. If these models were readily reproducible, it would standardize verification, enhance community reanalysis, and improve the utility of MC generators. We propose a solution involving the serialization of amplitude models into a...

Electroproduction reactions reveal the structure of light baryon resonances. Recent results of a simultaneous analysis of $\pi N$, $\eta N$, and $K\Lambda$ electroproduction data with the Juelich-Bonn-Washington (JBW) approach are presented. The extraction of multipoles and their uncertainties is discussed, and preliminary results for transition form factors at the resonance poles are shown.

Christian Schneider (Forschungszentrum Juelich)5/29/24, 10:15โฏAMSpectroscopy of light mesons and baryons
In order to connect theoretical predictions for the baryon spectrum in the non-perturbative energy regime to experimental data, coupled-channel approaches are the method of choice. In those approaches a simultaneous partial-wave analysis of multiple reactions with different initial and final states are performed.

Meike Kรผรner (Ruhr-University Bochum)5/29/24, 11:15โฏAMSpectroscopy of light mesons and baryons
Nowadays, experimentally observed states that are often assigned to the light meson or charmonium sector might indicate an exotic nature. Such exotic particles include glueballs, hybrids, and tetraquarks. Not only do these states pose a theoretical challenge, but experimentally it is often difficult to distinguish exotic and non-exotic matter and to characterise their nature. In such cases,...

The sustainable use of energy should be fulfilled as well in the field of particle physics, especially considering that it has additional advantages. Over recent decades, the continuous increase of experimental data in high energy physics applications has led to a significant computational demand. In particular, time-consuming coupled channel analyses require sometimes fits with a hundred free...

Rare B meson decays like B->K* mu mu provide highly sensitive probes of physics beyond the standard model. Recent results show intriguing indications of discrepancies between standard-model prediction and observation. PWA techniques play a crucial role in these analyses, especially those related to the angular distribution of B->K( * ) mu mu. They are critical in understanding and properly...

Lawrence Ng (Jefferson Lab)5/29/24, 4:45โฏPMAdvanced tools and methods for partial-wave and amplitude analyses
Partial wave analysis (PWA) is often performed in one of two regimes: either the data is kinematically binned to remove assumptions about the dynamics, or parameterized models like Breit-Wigner functions are used to encode physical dynamics. The ability to bridge these regimes can provide additional flexibility in describing the underlying physics.

Stephan Paul (TU Munich)5/29/24, 5:15โฏPM
In scattering experiments, meson resonances have for many decades been studied in a 2-step procedure. First, the spin-density matrix has been non-parametrically extracted using the isobar model. From this, the resonance parameters have been determined in the second step. The latter requires detailed modeling of all amplitudes and thus could typically be performed simultaneously for few waves...

Andrew Jackura (William & Mary)5/30/24, 9:30โฏAMSpectroscopy of light mesons and baryons
Accessing the hadron spectrum from Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) poses several challenges given its non-perturbative nature and the fact that most states couple to multi-particle decay modes. Although challenging, advances in both theoretical and numerical techniques have allowed us to determine few-body systems directly from QCD. A synergistic approach between lattice QCD and scattering theory...

Scattering of three pions is relevant for the analysis of axial resonances that can be studied on the lattice and in experiment. Conceptual developments of a finite-volume formalism (FVU) for the analysis of lattice data are presented, including coupled channels. Progress for infinite-volume coupled-channel systems and the effect of rescattering effects is reported, as well.

During the talk, I will discuss progress in applying the relativistic three-particle scattering formalism to systems of non-degenerate mesons of arbitrary angular momenta. For concreteness, I will focus on the $DD\pi$ system in the charm $C = 2$ and isospin $I = 0$ sectors, where the doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ should appear as a pole in the elastic $3\to3$ scattering amplitude....

Ideally, we describe amplitude models with recognizable mathematical expressions and directly fit those models to large data sample with high performance. The ComPWA project achieves this by formulating models with a Computer Algebra System and using its symbolic expression trees as a code generation template for fast, computational back-ends like JAX.

The $\eta(1295)$ and $\eta(1405/1475)$ are assumed to be the candidates of the first radially-excited states of $\eta-\eta'$ and even the pseudo-scalar glueball. Ragarding to the recent BESIII $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma K^0_S\bar{K}^0_S\pi^0$, we perform a dispersive analysis in the Khuri-Trieman framework which incoporates both the two- and three-body unitarity in the final state interactions....

Single-energy partial wave analysis has often been applied as a way to fit data with minimal model dependence. However, remaining unconstrained, partial waves at neighboring energies will vary discontinuously because the overall amplitude phase cannot be determined through single-channel measurement. This problem can be mitigated with the use of a constraining penalty function based on an...

We determine, from Lattice QCD, the elastic $\pi\pi$ scattering amplitude in the three possible isospin channels for various quark masses.

Dr Sasa Ceci (Rudjer Boskovic Institute)5/31/24, 5:15โฏPMModels for partial-wave and amplitude analyses
Contrary to the general notion that the background part of resonant scattering amplitude must be large and complicated for broad resonances, we show that the size of background depends only on the geometry, more precisely, on the angle at which the resonant pole is "seen" from the threshold. We use an approximation which treats the threshold as a simple zero instead of a branch point [1,2],...
