Abstract

Within a nonlinear chiral Lagrangian framework the correlations between the quark and glueball admixtures of the isosinglet scalar mesons below 2 GeV and the current large uncertainties on the mass of the f0(600) and the f0(1370) are studied. The framework is formulated in terms of two scalar meson nonets (a two-quark nonet and a four-quark nonet) together with a scalar glueball. It is shown that while some properties of these states are sensitive to the mass of f0(600) and f0(1370), several relatively robust conclusions can be made: The f0(600), the f0(980), and the f0(1370) are admixtures of two and four quark components, with f0(600) being dominantly a non-strange four-quark state, and f0(980) and f0(1370) having a dominant two-quark component. Similarly, the f0(1500) and the f0(1710) have considerable two and four quark admixtures, but in addition have a large glueball component. For each state, a detailed analysis providing the numerical estimates of all components is given. It is also shown that this framework clearly favors the experimental values: m[f0(600)] < 700 MeV and m[f0(1370)] = 1300-1450 MeV. Moreover, an overall fit to the available data shows a reciprocal substructure for the f0(600) and the f0(1370), and a linear correlation between their masses of the form m [f0(1370)] = 0.29 m[f0(600)] + 1.22 GeV. The scalar glueball mass of 1.5-1.7 GeV is found in this analysis.

Extraction of the pion-nucleon coupling constant using the effective-range expansion with the left-hand cut

We apply the generalized effective-range expansion of Phys. Rev. Lett. 135, 011903(2025), which incorporates the left-hand cut from one-pion exchange, to low-energy neutron-proton scattering in the $^1S_0$ and $^3S_1$ channels. The amplitude zero for the center-of-mass momentum near 0.35 GeV in the $^1S_0$ channel is naturally accommodated within this framework. We extract the pole position, scattering length, effective range, and the pseudoscalar pion-nucleon coupling constant $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ at different expansion orders. The low-energy parameters are stable and consistent with established values, while $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ exhibits larger uncertainties. The extraction of $g_{πN}^2/(4π)$ is data-driven, relying on the analytic constraints from the left-hand cut and phase-shift data within the one-pion-exchange approximation. Despite larger uncertainties compared to high-precision extractions, the consistency with established values demonstrates that this framework can probe the left-hand-cut singularity.

True Leptonium ($l^+ l^-$) Production in UPC Triphoton Interaction

True leptonium states ($l^+ l^-$) are compact pure QED systems, first theoretically predicted eight decades ago. Although considerable efforts have been devoted to their search, only positronium has been experimentally confirmed shortly after its theoretical prediction. By contrast, dimuonium ($μ^+ μ^-$) and tauonium ($τ^+ τ^-$) remain unobserved to date, partly due to their low production yields. In this work, we investigate ortho-leptonium production through triphoton interactions in ultraperipheral heavy-ion collisions (UPCs). Two photons originate from different ions in one beam, while the third is supplied by an ion in the opposing beam. Within the equivalent photon approximation, we compare continuum dimuon and $J/ψ$ production with UPC measurements and evaluate ortho-leptonium production at the LHC and FCC. The results illustrate the possible role of triphoton fusion in leptonium production and the sensitivity of the calculated rates to the low-energy photon input.

Semi-analytical two-loop QCD corrections to $e^+e^-\to J/ψ+χ_{cJ}$ at B factories

In this work, we compute the next-to-next-to-leading-order (NNLO) QCD corrections to the process $e^+e^-\to J/ψ+χ_{cJ}$ at B factories within the NRQCD factorization framework. The helicity amplitudes are obtained via asymptotic expansions around $r=0$ and $r=1$, with $r=16m_c^2/s$. Our asymptotic expressions reproduce the exact numerical results with high accuracy across the kinematic range $0\le r \le 1$, achieving a relative error below $10^{-5}$, which is sufficient for phenomenological applications. Notably, the large logarithmic terms are obtained analytically, and the explicit expressions established in this work provide a useful basis for further theoretical investigations. We compute the unpolarized cross sections. The $\mathcal{O}(α_s)$ correction is found to be large, while the $\mathcal{O}(α_s^2)$ correction for $χ_{c0}$ production amounts to $33\%$ of the leading-order (LO) cross section, significantly reducing the scale uncertainties. For $χ_{c1}$, the $\mathcal{O}(α_s)$ and $\mathcal{O}(α_s^2)$ corrections correspond to $35\%$ and $-15\%$, respectively. For $χ_{c2}$, the corresponding corrections are $24\%$ and $-38\%$. The large cancellation between the corrections for $χ_{c2}$ brings the NNLO cross section close to the LO prediction. Our prediction for $χ_{c0}$ is consistent with both the {\tt Belle} and {\tt BaBar} data within uncertainties. We also predict the angular distribution parameters $α^J_θ$, which are independent of nonperturbative inputs. A sharp discrepancy between the theory and the {\tt Belle} measurement is observed for $α^0_θ$, calling for further experimental and theoretical investigations. Moreover, future measurements of the angular distribution parameters for $χ_{c1}$ and $χ_{c2}$ will provide important tests of the theoretical framework.
