The purpose of the present study was to explore the possibility of accommodating the $d^*(2380)$ and its flavor SU(3) partners in a diquark model. Proposing that $d^*(2380)$ is composed of three vector diquarks, its mass is calculated by use of an effective Hamiltonian approach and its decay width is estimated by considering the effects of quark tunneling from one diquark to the others and the decays of the subsequent two-baryon bound state. Both the obtained mass and decay width of $d^*(2380)$ are in agreement with the experimental data, with the unexpected narrow decay width being naturally explained by the large tunneling suppression of a quark between a pair of diquarks. The masses and decay widths of the flavor SU(3) partners of $d^*(2380)$ are also predicated within the same diquark scenario.
We present a unified Dyson-Schwinger equation treatment of static and electromagnetic properties of pseudoscalar and vector mesons, and scalar and axial-vector diquark correlations, based upon a vector-vector contact-interaction. A basic motivation for this study is the need to document a comparison between the electromagnetic form factors of mesons and those diquarks which play a material role in nucleon structure. This is an important step toward a unified description of meson and baryon form factors based on a single interaction. A notable result, therefore, is the large degree of similarity between related meson and diquark form factors. The simplicity of the interaction enables computation of the form factors at arbitrarily-large spacelike-Q^2, which enables us to expose a zero in the rho-meson electric form factor at z_Q^rho ~ Sqrt[6] m_rho. Notably, r_rho*z_Q^rho ~ r_D*z_Q^D, where r_rho, r_D are, respectively, the electric radii of the rho-meson and deuteron.
We theoretically investigate a possibility of an $eta ^{prime} d$ bound state and its formation in the $gamma d to eta d$ reaction. First, in the fixed center approximation to the Faddeev equations we obtain an $eta ^{prime} d$ bound state with a binding energy of 25 MeV and width of 19 MeV, where we take the $eta ^{prime} N$ interaction with a coupling to the $eta N$ channel from the linear $sigma$ model. Then, in order to investigate the feasibility from an experimental point of view, we calculate the cross section of the $gamma d to eta d$ reaction at the photon energy in the laboratory frame around 1.2 GeV. As a result, we find a clear peak structure with the strength $sim$ 0.2 nb/sr, corresponding to a signal of the $eta ^{prime} d$ bound state in case of backward $eta$ emission. This structure will be prominent because a background contribution coming from single-step $eta$ emission off a bound nucleon is highly suppressed. In addition, the signal can be seen even in case of forward $eta$ emission as a bump or dip, depending on the relative phase between the bound-state formation and the single-step background.
The $DeltaDelta$ dibaryon resonance $d^ast (2380)$ with $(J^P, I)=(3^+, 0)$ is studied theoretically on the basis of the 3-flavor lattice QCD simulation with heavy pion masses ($m_pi =679, 841$ and $1018$ MeV). By using the HAL QCD method, the central $Delta$-$Delta$ potential in the ${}^7S_3$ channel is obtained from the lattice data with the lattice spacing $asimeq 0.121$ fm and the lattice size $Lsimeq 3.87$ fm. The resultant potential shows a strong short-range attraction, so that a quasi-bound state corresponding to $d^ast (2380)$ is formed with the binding energy $25$-$40$ MeV below the $DeltaDelta$ threshold for the heavy pion masses. The tensor part of the transition potential from $DeltaDelta$ to $NN$ is also extracted to investigate the coupling strength between the $S$-wave $DeltaDelta$ system with $J^P=3^+$ and the $D$-wave $NN$ system. Although the transition potential is strong at short distances, the decay width of $d^ast (2380)$ to $NN$ in the $D$-wave is kinematically suppressed, which justifies our single-channel analysis at the range of the pion mass explored in this study.
Given presently known empirical information about the exotic Theta+ baryon, we analyze possible properties of its SU(3)F partners, paying special attention to the nonstrange member of the antidecuplet N*. The modified PWA analysis presents two candidate masses, 1680 MeV and 1730 MeV. In both cases the N* should be highly inelastic. The theoretical analysis, based on the soliton picture and assumption of Gamma(Theta+) < 5 MeV, shows that most probably Gamma(N*) < 30 MeV. Similar analysis for Xi3/2 predicts its width to be not more than about 10 MeV. Our results suggest several directions for experimental studies that may clarify properties of the antidecuplet baryons, and structure of their mixing with other baryons.
Exclusive measurements of the quasi-free $pn to pppi^-$ and $pp to pppi^0$ reactions have been performed by means of $pd$ collisions at $T_p$ = 1.2 GeV using the WASA detector setup at COSY. Total and differential cross sections have been obtained covering the energy region $T_p = 0.95 - 1.3$ GeV ($sqrt s$ = 2.3 - 2.46 GeV), which includes the regions of $Delta(1232)$, $N^*(1440)$ and $d^*(2380)$ resonance excitations. From these measurements the isoscalar single-pion production has been extracted, for which data existed so far only below $T_p$ = 1 GeV. We observe a substantial increase of this cross section above 1 GeV, which can be related to the Roper resonance $N^*(1440)$, the strength of which shows up isolated from the $Delta$ resonance in the isoscalar $(Npi)_{I=0}$ invariant-mass spectrum. No evidence for a decay of the dibaryon resonance $d^*(2380)$ into the isoscalar $(NNpi)_{I=0}$ channel is found. An upper limit of 90 $mu$b (90 $%$ C.L.) corresponding to a branching ratio of 5 $%$ has been deduced.
