We investigate an application of twisted boundary conditions for study of low-energy hadron-hadron interactions with Lushcers finite size method. It allows us to calculate the phase shifts for elastic scattering of two hadrons at any small value of the scattering momentum even in a finite volume. We then can extract model independent information of low-energy scattering parameters such as the scattering length, the effective range and the effective volume from the $S$-wave and $P$-wave scattering phase shifts through the effective range expansion. This approach also enables us to examine the existence of near-threshold and narrow resonance states, of which characteristic is observed in many of newly discovered charmonium-like $XYZ$ mesons. As a simple example, we demonstrate our method for low-energy $J/psi$-$phi$ scatterings to search for Y(4140) resonance using 2+1 flavor PACS-CS gauge configurations at the lightest pion mass, $m_{pi}=156$ MeV.
An extension of the Luschers finite volume method above inelastic thresholds is proposed. It is fulfilled by extendind the procedure recently proposed by HAL-QCD Collaboration for a single channel system. Focusing on the asymptotic behaviors of the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter (NBS) wave functions (equal-time) near spatial infinity, a coupled channel extension of effective Schrodinger equation is constructed by introducing an energy-independent interaction kernel. Because the NBS wave functions contain the information of T-matrix at long distance, S-matrix can be obtained by solving the coupled channel effective Schrodinger equation in the infinite volume.
Using a data sample of $448.1times10^6$ $psi(3686)$ events collected at $sqrt{s}=$ 3.686 GeV with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII, we search for the rare decay $J/psi to phi e^+ e^-$ via $psi(3686) to pi^+pi^- J/psi $. No signal events are observed and the upper limit on the branching fraction is set to be $mathcal{B}(J/psi to phi e^+ e^-) < 1.2 times 10^{-7}$ at the 90% confidence level, which is still about one order of magnitude higher than the Standard Model prediction.
I present derivation of Luschers finite size formula for the elastic $Npi$ and the $NN$ scattering system for several angular momenta from the relativistic quantum field theory.
Using $1.06times10^8$ $psi(3686)$ events recorded in $e^{+}e^{-}$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=$ 3.686 GeV with the BESIII at the BEPCII collider, we present searches for C-parity violation in $J/psi to gammagamma$ and $ gamma phi$ decays via $psi(3686) to J/psi pi^+pi^-$. No significant signals are observed in either channel. Upper limits on the branching fractions are set to be $mathcal{B}(J/psi to gammagamma) < 2.7 times 10^{-7}$ and $mathcal{B}(J/psi to gammaphi) < 1.4 times 10^{-6}$ at the 90% confidence level. The former is one order of magnitude more stringent than the previous upper limit, and the latter represents the first limit on this decay channel.
We report an observation of the $B^{pm} to J/psi eta K^{pm}$ and $B^0 to J/psi eta K^0_S$ decays using 772$times 10^{6}$ $Bbar{B}$ pairs collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider. We obtain the branching fractions ${cal B}(B^{pm}rightarrow J/psieta K^{pm})=(1.27pm 0.11{rm (stat.)pm 0.11{rm (syst.)})}times10^{-4}$ and ${cal B}(B^0to J/psi eta K^0_S)=(5.22 pm 0.78 {rm(stat.)} pm 0.49{rm(syst.)})times10^{-5}$. We search for a new narrow charmonium(-like) state $X$ in the $J/psi eta$ mass spectrum and find no significant excess. We set upper limits on the product of branching fractions, ${cal B}(B^pm to XK^pm){cal B}(X to J/psi eta)$, at 3872 MeV$/c^2$ where a $C$-odd partner of X(3872) may exist, at $psi(4040)$ and $psi(4160)$ assuming their known mass and width, and over a range from 3.8 to 4.8 GeV$/c^2$. % at a 5 MeV$/c^2$ step. The obtained upper limits at 90% confidence level for $X^{C{rm -odd}}(3872)$, $psi(4040)$ and $psi(4160)$ are 3.8$times 10^{-6}$, 15.5$times 10^{-6}$ and 7.4$times 10^{-6}$, respectively.
