A pair of triply charmed baryons, $Omega_{ccc}Omega_{ccc}$, is studied as an ideal dibaryon system by (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with nearly physical light-quark masses and the relativistic heavy quark action with the physical charm quark mass. The spatial baryon-baryon correlation is related to their scattering parameters on the basis of the HAL QCD method. The $Omega_{ccc}Omega_{ccc}$ in the ${^1S_0}$ channel taking into account the Coulomb repulsion with the charge form factor of $Omega_{ccc}$ leads to the scattering length $a^{rm C}_0simeq -19~text{fm}$ and the effective range $r^{rm C}_{mathrm{eff}}simeq 0.45~text{fm}$. The ratio $r^{rm C}_{mathrm{eff}}/a^{rm C}_0 simeq -0.024$, whose magnitude is considerably smaller than that of the dineutron ($-0.149$), indicates that $Omega_{ccc}Omega_{ccc}$ is located in the unitary regime.
The nucleon($N$)-Omega($Omega$) system in the S-wave and spin-2 channel ($^5$S$_2$) is studied from the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with nearly physical quark masses ($m_pi simeq 146$~MeV and $m_K simeq 525$~MeV). The time-dependent HAL QCD method is employed to convert the lattice QCD data of the two-baryon correlation function to the baryon-baryon potential and eventually to the scattering observables. The $NOmega$($^5$S$_2$) potential, obtained under the assumption that its couplings to the D-wave octet-baryon pairs are small, is found to be attractive in all distances and to produce a quasi-bound state near unitarity: In this channel, the scattering length, the effective range and the binding energy from QCD alone read $a_0= 5.30(0.44)(^{+0.16}_{-0.01})$~fm, $r_{rm eff} = 1.26(0.01)(^{+0.02}_{-0.01})$~fm, $B = 1.54(0.30)(^{+0.04}_{-0.10})$~MeV, respectively. Including the extra Coulomb attraction, the binding energy of $pOmega^-$($^5$S$_2$) becomes $B_{pOmega^-} = 2.46(0.34)(^{+0.04}_{-0.11})$~MeV. Such a spin-2 $pOmega^-$ state could be searched through two-particle correlations in $p$-$p$, $p$-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions.
The $OmegaOmega$ system in the $^1S_0$ channel (the most strange dibaryon) is studied on the basis of the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations with a large volume (8.1 fm)$^3$ and nearly physical pion mass $m_{pi}simeq 146$ MeV at a lattice spacing $asimeq 0.0846$ fm. We show that lattice QCD data analysis by the HAL QCD method leads to the scattering length $a_0 = 4.6 (6)(^{+1.2}_{-0.5}) {rm fm}$, the effective range $r_{rm eff} = 1.27 (3)(^{+0.06}_{-0.03}) {rm fm}$ and the binding energy $B_{Omega Omega} = 1.6 (6) (^{+0.7}_{-0.6}) {rm MeV}$. These results indicate that the $OmegaOmega$ system has an overall attraction and is located near the unitary regime. Such a system can be best searched experimentally by the pair-momentum correlation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
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.
In this work we discuss in detail the non-perturbative determination of the momentum dependence of the form factors entering in semileptonic decays using unitarity and analyticity constraints. The method contains several new elements with respect to previous proposals and allows to extract, using suitable two-point functions computed non-perturbatively, the form factors at low momentum transfer $q^2$ from those computed explicitly on the lattice at large $q^2$, without any assumption about their $q^2$-dependence. The approach will be very useful for exclusive semileptonic $B$-meson decays, where the direct calculation of the form factors at low $q^2$ is particularly difficult due to large statistical fluctuations and discretisation effects. As a testing ground we apply our approach to the semileptonic $D to K ell u_ell$ decay, where we can compare the results of the unitarity approach to the explicit direct lattice calculation of the form factors in the full $q^2$-range. We show that the method is very effective and that it allows to compute the form factors with rather good precision.
We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the charm quark contribution to the nucleon electromagnetic form factors $G^c_{E,M}(Q^2)$ in the momentum transfer range $0leq Q^2 leq 1.4$ $rm GeV^2$. The quark mass dependence, finite lattice spacing and volume corrections are taken into account simultaneously based on the calculation on three gauge ensembles including one at the physical pion mass. The nonzero value of the charm magnetic moment $mu^c_M=-0.00127(38)_{rm stat}(5)_{rm sys}$, as well as the Pauli form factor, reflects a nontrivial role of the charm sea in the nucleon spin structure. The nonzero $G^c_{E}(Q^2)$ indicates the existence of a nonvanishing asymmetric charm-anticharm sea in the nucleon. Performing a nonperturbative analysis based on holographic QCD and the generalized Veneziano model, we study the constraints on the $[c(x)-bar{c}(x)]$ distribution from the lattice QCD results presented here. Our results provide complementary information and motivation for more detailed studies of physical observables that are sensitive to intrinsic charm and for future global analyses of parton distributions including asymmetric charm-anticharm distribution.
