Computation of the quarkonium and meson-meson composition of the $Υ(nS)$ states and of the new $Υ(10753)$ Belle resonance from lattice QCD static potentials

Abstract

We compute the composition of the bottomonium $Υ(nS)$ states (including $Υ(10860)$) and the new $Υ(10753)$ resonance reported by Belle in terms of quarkonium and meson-meson components. We use a recently developed novel approach utilizing lattice QCD string breaking potentials for the study of resonances. This approach is based on the Born Oppenheimer approximation and the unitary emergent wave method and allows to compute the poles of the $\mbox{S}$ matrix. We focus on $I=0$ bottomonium $S$ wave bound states and resonances, where the Schrödinger equation is a set of coupled differential equations. One of the channels corresponds to a confined heavy quark-antiquark pair $\bar b b$, the others to pairs of heavy-light mesons. In a previous study only one meson-meson channel $\bar{B}^{(\ast)} B^{(\ast)}$ was considered. Now we also include the closed strangeness channel $\bar{B}_s^{(\ast)} B_s^{(\ast)}$ extending our formalism significantly to have a more realistic description of bottomonium. We confirm the new Belle resonance $Υ(10753)$ as a dynamical meson-meson resonance with around $85 \%$ meson-meson content. Moreover, we identify $Υ(4S)$ and $Υ(10860)$ as states with both sizable quarkonium and meson-meson contents. With these results we contribute to the clarification of ongoing controversies in the vector bottomonium spectrum.

Flowed quark field renormalization in lattice QCD: A Ward-identity approach and its validation using quark bilinears

We present a non-perturbative Ward-identity prescription for determining the flowed quark field renormalization factor $Z_χ$, avoiding the computational difficulties of the conventional ringed prescription. The method is based on vector-current normalization and ratios of flowed and unflowed meson two-point functions. We determine the resulting $\mathring{Z}_χ^{V}(t_f,a)$ on five $2+1$-flavor clover ensembles and validate it in the pseudoscalar, scalar, axial-vector, and tensor channels. Renormalized matrix elements obtained through sequential continuum and zero-flow-time extrapolations agree with independent RI/MOM and RI/SMOM determinations. The finite-lattice-spacing bilinear renormalization factors show differences that decrease toward finer lattices, reflecting the different discretization effects of the renormalization methods. The cross-channel agreement demonstrates the viability of the proposed prescription; together, the method and its systematic validation establish a robust foundation for the non-perturbative renormalization of flowed fermionic operators in future lattice calculations.

A Guide to Symmetric Mass Generation in Lattice-QCD

Symmetric mass generation (SMG) has attracted growing interest in both condensed matter theory and lattice-QCD communities. Here we formulate general criteria for SMG and examine their compatibility with lattice-QCD. We propose possible RG-flow scenarios near the SMG transition, and argue that meson mass ratio can serve as a probe of the SMG transition viewed as a UV fixed point. We further identify Goldstone tetraquark meson states as phenomenological signatures of the "type-II'' SMG phase.

First-Principles Determination of the QCD Contribution to the Axion-Photon Coupling Using Domain-Wall Fermions

The axion-photon coupling, crucial for experimental axion searches and tests of the strong CP solution, receives a substantial model-independent contribution $\mathcal C_{\rm QCD}$ from QCD dynamics. Next-to-leading-order chiral perturbation theory (NLO ChPT) in different frameworks has yielded puzzling discrepancies of up to $8\%$, motivating precise first-principles calculations. We present an independent lattice QCD determination using a method complementary to the recent background-field calculation. Computing pseudoscalar-to-two-photon three-point functions and exploiting anomalous Ward identities, we separate $\mathcal C_{\rm QCD}$ into an exact anomaly contribution and a light-quark-mass-suppressed correction. The latter is computed using domain-wall fermions, whose excellent chiral symmetry strongly suppresses discretization effects. Working on two near-physical $N_f=2+1$ ensembles with continuum extrapolation, we obtain $\mathcal C_{\rm QCD}^{\rm IS}=1.619(30)$ (isospin-symmetric), $\mathcal C_{\rm QCD}^{\rm IB}=0.347(22)$ (isospin-breaking), and $\mathcal C_{\rm QCD}=1.965(35)$ in total. While direct comparisons with published NLO ChPT predictions reveal apparent tensions, we identify their sources and show that the ChPT results can be reconciled with our lattice determination. Our result provides a first-principles benchmark for the QCD contribution to the axion-photon coupling and a quantitative test of competing ChPT descriptions.
