2 2 The Quark Model of Hadrons EVIDENCE FOR QUARKS The magnetic moments of proton and neutron are not e~ and 0 2m p ) not point-like electron-proton scattering at high q 2 deviates from Rutherford scattering ) proton has sub-structure jets are observed in e + e and pμp collisions symmetries (patterns) in masses/properties of hadron states, quarky periodic table ) sub-structure R μ Observation of cμc and bμb bound states. and much, much more... Here we will first consider the wave-functions for hadrons formed from the light quarks (up, down, strange) and deduce their static properties (mass and magnetic moments). Then we will go on to discuss the heavy quarks, charm, bottom (sometimes called beauty), and top.
3 3 Hadron Wave-functions in the Quark Model Due to properties of QCD quarks are always confined to hadrons (i.e. colourless states). MESONS SPIN-0,1,... q q BARYONS SPIN- 1 2, 3 2,. q q q Last year several reports of observations of pentaquark bound states qqqqq HADRON WAVE-FUNCTIONS Treat quarks as IDENTICAL fermions with states labelled with SPATIAL, SPIN, FLAVOUR, COLOUR ψ = ψ space ψ flavour ψ spin ψ colour All hadrons are COLOUR SINGLETS, i.e. net colour zero ψ qq colour = 1 p 3 (rr + gg + bb) ψ qqq colour = 1 p 6 (rgb+gbr+brg-grb-rbg-bgr) Consider ground state i.e. (L=0) mesons and baryons Determine wave-functions Determine parity Calculate masses Calculate magnetic moments
4 4 Parity Parity operator, ^P,! SPATIAL INVERSION ^Pψ(~r; t) = ψ( ~r; t) The Eigenvalue of ^P is called PARITY ^Pψ = Pψ; P = ±1 Particles are EIGENSTATES of PARITY and in this case P represents the INTRINSIC PARITY of a particle/anti-particle. Parity is a useful concept. IF the Hamiltonian for an interaction commutes with ^P [^P; ^H] = 0 then PARITY IS CONSERVED in the interaction: PARITY CONSERVED in STRONG interaction PARITY CONSERVED in EM interaction but NOT in the WEAK interaction Composite system of 2 particles with orbital angular momentum L: P = P 1 P 2 ( 1) L Quantum Field Theory: fermions/anti-fermions : OPPOSITE parity bosons/anti-bosons : SAME parity Choose: quarks/leptons : P = +1 anti-quarks/anti-leptons : P = 1 Gauge Bosons (fl,g,w,z) are vector fields which transform as J P = 1

22 Baryon Magnetic Moments 22 Assume the bound quarks within baryons behave as DIRAC point-like SPIN-1/2 particles with fractional charge, q q. Then quarks will have magnetic dipole moments: ^μ q = q q m q ^S where m q is the quark mass. Magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment: μ u = 2 3 μ q = hq " j q q m q ^Sjq "i with ^Sjq "i = 1 ~jq "i 2 giving μ q = q q~ 2m q e~ 2m u ; μ d = 1 3 e~ 2m d ; μ s = 1 3 e~ 2m s For quarks bound within a L=0 baryon, X, the baryon magnetic moment is the expectation value of the sum of the individual quark magnetic moments. ^μ B = q 1 ^S 1 + q 2 ^S 2 + q 3 ^S 2 m 1 m 2 m 3 μ X = hx "j^μ B jx "i where jx "i is the baryon wave-function for the spin up state.

J=ψ(3097) fl χ(3510)! J=ψ(3097) fl Knowing the cμc levels provides a probe of the QCD potential: Because QCD is a theory of a strong confining force (self-interacting gluons) it is VERY difficult to calculate the exact form of the QCD potential from first principles. However, it is possible to experimentally determine the QCD potential by finding an appropriate form which gives the observed charmonium states. In practice one finds that V QCD = 4 ff S 3 r + kr with ff S = 0:2 and k = 1 GeV fm 1 provides a good description of the EXPERIMENTALLY OBSERVED levels in the charmonium system. yet to explain why low energy states are so narrow...

For arguments sake, take the wave-function of the J=ψ to correspond to that of ground state in the strong version of the Coulomb potential (i.e. Hydrogen atom ): ψcμc(r; ; ffi) = 1 p ß 1 a exp jψcμc(r = 0)j 2 = 1 ß 1 a0 3 r a 0 e + e = 4 Q2 c ff2 a 3 0 m 2 ψ Take a 0 = 1:5 GeV 1 = 0:3 fm which is a reasonable value for actual potential e + e = 4 GeV :5 3:1 e + e = 2: GeV = 2:9 kev EXPERIMENTAL VALUE = 5:1 kev
43 It is somewhat fortuitous that we obtain roughly the correct answer. Many approximations, e.g. the wave-function will not correspond to that in a Coulomb potential,... The calculation illustrates a number of points: Decay rates are hard to calculate, we are no longer dealing with fundamental particles. Need to know the wave-function of the decaying state. Need to know the QCD potential However calculations of ratios more reliable since they use same assumptions. 43 ANOTHER EXAMPLE: The (9460) is the bμb state corresponding to the J=ψ.
