We consider spin-$1/2$ fermionic atoms whose dynamics are governed by low-energy $P$-wave interactions. These are renormalized within the ladder resummation scheme, and directly expressed as functions of the effective range parameters. Then, we show
that, in a large scattering parameter regime, the zero-temperature equation of state exhibits a minimum, indicating the existence of a liquid phase. We also characterize the properties, such as the energy per particle, the compressibility or speed of sound of the liquid at equilibrium. The liquid exists near, but not strictly on, the unitary limit, which suggests the feasibility of realizing ultracold quantum liquids of fermions using $P$-wave Feshbach resonances.
We resum the ladder diagrams for the calculation of the energy density $cal{E}$ of a spin 1/2 fermion many-body system in terms of arbitrary vacuum two-body scattering amplitudes. The partial-wave decomposition of the in-medium two-body scattering am
plitudes is developed, and the expression for calculating $cal{E}$ in a partial-wave amplitude expansion is also given. The case of contact interactions is completely solved and is shown to provide renormalized results, expressed directly in terms of scattering data parameters, within cutoff regularization in a wide class of schemes. $S$- and $P$-wave interactions are considered up to including the first three-terms in the effective-range expansion, paying special attention to the parametric region around the unitary limit.
The newly observed hidden-charm tetraquark state $Z_{cs}(3985)$, together with $Z_c(3900)$ and $X(4020)$, are studied in the combined theoretical framework of the effective range expansion, compositeness relation and the decay width saturation. The e
lastic effective-range-expansion approach leads to sensible results for the scattering lengths, effective ranges and the compositeness coefficients, $i.e.$, the probabilities to find the two-charm-meson molecule components in the tetraquark states. The coupled-channel formalism by including the $J/psipi$ and $Dbar{D}^*/bar{D}D^*$ to fulfill the constraints of the compositeness relation and the decay width, confirms the elastic effective-range-expansion results for the $Z_c(3900)$, by using the experimental inputs for the ratios of the decay widths between $Dbar{D}^*/bar{D}D^*$ and $J/psipi$. With the results from the elastic effective-range-expansion study as input for the compositeness, we generalize the discussions to the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ by including the $J/psi K^{-}$ and $D_s^{-}D^{*0}/D_s^{*-}D^{0}$, and predict the partial decay widths of the $J/psi K^{-}$. Similar calculations are also carried out for the $X(4020)$ by including the $h_cpi$ and $D^*bar{D}^*$, and the partial decay widths of the $h_cpi$ is predicted. Our results can provide useful guidelines for future experimental measurements.
The recently discovered fully charmed tetraquark candidate $X(6900)$ is analyzed within the frameworks of effective-range expansion, compositeness relation and width saturation, and a coupled multichannel dynamical study. By taking into account const
raints from heavy-quark spin symmetry, the coupled-channel amplitude including the $J/psi J/psi,~ chi_{c0}chi_{c0}$ and $chi_{c1}chi_{c1}$ is constructed to fit the experimental di-$J/psi$ event distributions around the energy region near $6.9$ GeV. Another dynamical two-coupled-channel amplitude with the $J/psi J/psi$ and $psi(3770) J/psi$ is also considered to describe the same datasets. The three different theoretical approaches lead to similar conclusions that the two-meson components do not play dominant roles in the $X(6900)$. Our determinations of the resonance poles in the complex energy plane from the refined coupled-channel study are found to be consistent with the experimental analyses. The coupled-channel amplitudes also have another pole corresponding to a narrow resonance $X(6825)$ that we predict sitting below the $chi_{c0}chi_{c0}$ threshold and of molecular origin. We give predictions to the line shapes of the $chi_{c0}chi_{c0}$ and $chi_{c1}chi_{c1}$ channels, which could provide a useful guide for future experimental measurements.
We review a series of unitarization techniques that have been used during the last decades, many of them in connection with the advent and development of current algebra and later of Chiral Perturbation Theory. Several methods are discussed like the
generalized effective-range expansion, K-matrix approach, Inverse Amplitude Method, Pade approximants and the N/D method. More details are given for the latter though. We also consider how to implement them in order to correct by final-state interactions. In connection with this some other methods are also introduced like the expansion of the inverse of the form factor, the Omnes solution, generalization to coupled channels and the Khuri-Treiman formalism, among others.
In this work we extend our formalism to study meson-baryon interactions by including $s$- and $u$-channel diagrams for pseudoscalar-baryon systems. We study the coupled systems with strangeness $-1$ and focus on studying the isospin-1 resonance(s), e
specially in the energy region around 1400 MeV. By constraining the model parameters to fit the cross section data available on several processes involving relevant channels, we find resonances in the isoscalar as well as the isovector sector in the energy region around 1400 MeV.
We revisit the coupled channel $Kbar{K}$ interactions and dynamically generate the resonances $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ within both the isospin and the physical bases. The $f_0(980)-a_0(980)$ mixing effects are generated in the scattering amplitudes
of the coupled channels with the physical basis, which exploits the important role of the $Kbar{K}$ channel in the dynamical nature of these resonances. With the scattering amplitudes obtained, we investigate the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ contributions to the $J/psito gammaetapi^0$, $J/psito gammapi^+pi^-$ and $J/psito gammapi^0pi^0$ radiative decays through the final-state interactions. We obtain the corresponding branching fractions $Br(J/psito gamma a_0(980) to gammaetapi^0) = (0.47pm0.05) times 10^{-7}$, $Br(J/psito gamma f_0(980) to gammapi^+pi^-) = 0.37 times 10^{-7} - 1.98 times 10^{-6}$, $Br(J/psito gamma f_0(980) to gammapi^0pi^0) = 0.18 times 10^{-7} - 9.92 times 10^{-7}$, and predict $Br(J/psito gamma a_0(980)) = 1.72 times 10^{-8} - 3.07times 10^{-7}$ and $Br(J/psito gamma f_0(980)) = 1.86 times 10^{-8} - 1.89times 10^{-5}$. These fractions are within the upper limits of the experimental measurements.
We study the newly reported hidden-charm pentaquark candidates $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ from the LHCb Collaboration, in the framework of the effective-range expansion and resonance compositeness relations. The scattering lengths and e
ffective ranges from the $S$-wave $Sigma_cbar{D}$ and $Sigma_cbar{D}^*$ scattering are calculated by using the experimental results of the masses and widths of the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$. Then we calculate the couplings between the $J/psi p,,Sigma_cbar{D}$ channels and the pentaquark candidate $P_c(4312)$, with which we further estimate the probabilities of finding the $J/psi p$ and $Sigma_cbar{D}$ components inside $P_c(4312)$. The partial decay widths and compositeness coefficients are calculated for the $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ states by including the $J/psi p$ and $Sigma_cbar{D}^*$ channels. Similar studies are also carried out for the three $P_c$ states by including the $Lambda_cbar{D}^{*}$ and $Sigma_cbar{D}^{(*)}$ channels.
We introduce a near-threshold parameterization that is more general than the effective-range expansion up to and including the effective-range because it can also handle with a near-threshold zero in the $D^0bar{D}^{*0}$ $S$-wave. In terms of it we a
nalyze the CDF data on inclusive $pbar{p}$ scattering to $J/psi pi^+pi^-$, and the Belle and BaBar data on $B$ decays to $K, J/psi pi^+pi^-$ and $K Dbar{D}^{*0}$ around the $D^0bar{D}^{*0}$ threshold. It is shown that data can be reproduced with similar quality for the $X(3872)$ being a bound {it and/or} a virtual state. We also find that the $X(3872)$ might be a higher-order virtual-state pole (double or triplet pole), in the limit in which the small $D^{*0}$ width vanishes. Once the latter is restored the corrections to the pole position are non-analytic and much bigger than the $D^{*0}$ width itself. The $X(3872)$ compositeness coefficient in $D^0bar{D}^{*0}$ ranges from nearly 0 up to 1 in the different scenarios.
