A helpful analogy between the covalent bond and particle spectroscopy

Abstract: To cite this version:D V Bugg. A helpful analogy between the covalent bond and particle spectroscopy. There is a precise analogy with the covalent bond in molecular physics it helps to visualise what is happening physically. One eigenstate is lowered by the mixing the other moves up and normally increases in width. Cusps arise at thresholds. At sharp thresholds due to S-wave 2-particle decays, these cusps play a conspicuous role in many sets of data. The overall pattern of light mesons is consistent with nearl… Show more

“…The result that this resonance appears only when interaction strength parameter I 0 is greater than a critical value may be related with the use of various approximations used in this work including ignoring the annihilation effects of light quark flavors and using quadratic confinement. As for the full X(3872), our neglect of its cc component [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] may also be responsible for deviation of the parameter I 0 away from 1. If future improvements beyond our approximations are equivalent to an effective I 0 that is lesser than one, our work would imply that D0 D 0 * do not form a bound state and hence there can not be a role of D0 D 0 * molecule in the structure of X(3872).…”

“…These implications address some experimental issues of wide interest, for example understanding exotic mesons [23][24][25]. An important such state is the meson X(3872) which is now generally considered [26][27][28][29][30][31][32] as a mixture of D0 D 0 * , D + D − * and cc. Any effort to understand it, thus, should understand quantities depending upon its components.…”
