This work is an extension of the work in cite{bhatnagar18} to ground and excited states of $0^{++}, 0^{-+}$, and $1^{--}$ of heavy-light ($coverline{u}, coverline{s}, boverline{u}, boverline{s}$, and $boverline{c}$) quarkonia in the framework of a QCD motivated Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) by making use of the exact treatment of the spin structure $(gamma_{mu}bigotimesgamma_{mu})$ in the interaction kernel, in contrast to the approximate treatment of the same in our previous works cite{hluf16, bhatnagar18}), which is a substantial improvement over our previous works cite{hluf16,bhatnagar18}. In this $4times 4$ BSE framework, the coupled Salpeter equations for $Qoverline{q}$ (that are more involved than the equal mass ($Qoverline{Q}$) mesons) are first shown to decouple for the confining part of interaction, under heavy-quark approximation, and analyically solved, and later the one-gluon-exchange interaction is perturbatively incorporated, leading to their mass spectral equations. The analytic forms of wave functions obtained from these equations are then used for calculation of leptonic decay constants of ground and excited states of $0^{-+}$, and $1^{--}$ as a test of these wave functions and the over all framework.
In this work we study the radiative decays of heavy-light quarkonia through M1 and E1 transitions, that involve quark-triangle diagrams with two hadron vertices, and are difficult to evaluate in BSE-CIA. We have expressed the transition amplitude, $M_{fi}$ as a linear superposition of terms involving all possible combinations of $++$, and $--$ components of Salpeter wave functions of final and initial hadron, with coefficients being related to results of pole integrals over complex $sigma$- plane. We evaluate the decay widths for $M1$ transitions ($^3S_1 rightarrow ^1S_0 +gamma$), and $E1$ transitions ($^3S_1 rightarrow ^1P_0 +gamma$ and $^1P_0 rightarrow ^3S_1 +gamma$). We have used algebraic forms of Salpeter wave functions obtained through analytic solutions of mass spectral equations for ground and excited states of $0^{++},1^{--}$, and $0^{-+}$ heavy-light quarkonia in approximate harmonic oscillator basis, to calculate their decay widths. The input parameters used by us were obtained by fitting to their mass spectra. We have compared our results with experimental data and other models, and found reasonable agreements.
This work is an extension of our previous work in cite{bhatnagar20} to calculate M1 transitions, $0^{-+}rightarrow 1^{--} gamma$, and E1 transitions involving axial vector mesons such as, $1^{+-} rightarrow 0^{-+}gamma$, and $0^{-+}rightarrow 1^{+-} gamma $ for which very little data is available as of now. We make use of the general structure of the transition amplitude, $M_{fi}$ derived in our previous work cite{bhatnagar20} as a linear superposition of terms involving all possible combinations of $++$, and $--$ components of Salpeter wave functions of final and initial hadrons. In the present work, we make use of leading Dirac structures in the hadronic Bethe-Salpeter wave functions of the involved hadrons, which makes the formulation more rigorous. We evaluate the decay widths for both the above mentioned $M1$ and $E1$ transitions. We have used algebraic forms of Salpeter wave functions obtained through analytic solutions of mass spectral equations for ground and excited states of $1^{--}$,$0^{-+}$ and $1^{+-}$ heavy-light quarkonia in approximate harmonic oscillator basis to do analytic calculations of their decay widths. We have compared our results with experimental data, where ever available, and other models.
We investigate the properties of mesons with the exotic J^PC = 1^-+ quantum numbers. Starting out from the light-quark domain, where the pi_1 states are used as references, we predict the masses of analogous quarkonia for cbar{c} and bbar{b} configurations. We employ a covariant Dyson-Schwinger-Bethe-Salpeter-equation approach with a rainbow-ladder truncated model of quantum chromodynamics.
We solved the instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter equation for heavy pseudoscalars in different kernels, where the kernels are obtained using linear scalar potential plus one gluon exchange vector potentials in Feynman gauge, Landau gauge, Coulomb gauge and time-component Coulomb gauge. We obtained the mass spectra of heavy pseudoscalars, and compared the results between different kernels, found that using the same parameters we obtain the smallest mass splitting in time-component Coulomb gauge, the similar largest mass splitting in Feynman and Coulomb gauges, middle size splitting in Landau gauge.
We present a hybrid approach for GW/Bethe-Salpeter Equation (BSE) calculations of core excitation spectra, including x-ray absorption (XAS), electron energy loss spectra (EELS), and non-resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (NRIXS). The method is based on {it ab initio} wavefunctions from the plane-wave pseudopotential code ABINIT; atomic core-level states and projector augmented wave (PAW) transition matrix elements; the NIST core-level BSE solver; and a many-pole GW self-energy model to account for final-state broadening and self-energy shifts. Multiplet effects are also accounted for. The approach is implemented using an interface dubbed OCEAN (Obtaining Core Excitations using ABINIT and NBSE). To demonstrate the utility of the code we present results for the K-edges in LiF as probed by XAS and NRIXS, the K-edges of KCl as probed by XAS, the Ti L_2,3-edge in SrTiO_3 as probed by XAS, and the Mg L_2,3-edge in MgO as probed by XAS. We compare the results to experiments and results obtained using other theoretical approaches.
