2 Content of Today Up to now: first order non-resonant e+e- cross-section dσ e.g. (e + e μ + μ ) = 4πα dω 3s Intermediate resonances e f e + (ρ, ω, φ, J/Ψ, ϒ, ) f higher order corrections and running coupling constants 2

3 Hadronic Resonances Cross sections computed up to now are valid only for q 2 values outside the vector resonances (ρ, ω, φ, J/Ψ, ϒ, ) In the neighbourhood of the resonances these particles contribute as Intermediate states to the total cross section: e M = + e + f f steps indicate new quark flavour e e + (ρ, ω, φ, J/Ψ, ϒ, ) f f σ = 4πα 3s + 3π s Γ e Γ f s M Γ2 + interference Γ e, Γ f = Γ (V e + e, ff ) Γ = i Γ i Breit-Wigner resonance (for Vector mesons J=1 particles) 3

4 Two Jet Event e + e - q q quarks from jets 4

5 November Revolution 1974 Quark Model at that time: several hundred hadronic states explained as bound states of 3 different quarks: u, d, s Two independent groups found almost simultaneously a new particle J/ѱ = cc >: BNL (Berkly National Laboratory): proton beam on fix target (Berilium) group leader Samuel Ting p (28 GeV) + Be J + X e + e - m(j) = 3.1 GeV Γ: consistent with detector resolution (20 MeV) reconstructed invariant mass of final state particles 5

8 Nobel Prize 1976: Discovery of J/Ψ Particle 8

9 OZI Rule width of J/ѱ: Γ = 93 ± 2 kev [PDG], τ ~ s m(ρ) = 775 MeV ρ = ½ uu d d > Γ = 149 MeV m(ω) = 782 MeV ω = ½ uu + d d > Γ = 8.4 MeV m(φ) = 782 MeV φ = s s > Γ = 4.3 MeV narrow width of J/ѱ was a surprise OZI (Okubo, Zweig, Iizuka) rule: Decays with disconnected quark lines are suppressed relative to decays where the quark lines are connected s s u π s K+ d + φ φ? u d s π 0 s d u d s K- π u - OZI allowed, but little phase space BR(φ KK) ~ 50% OZI suppressed, but little phase space BR(φ π+π-π0) ~ 15% 9

10 OZI Rule for J/φ J/ѱ c c c u u c D 0 D 0 J/ѱ c c h h h OZI allowed, but kinematically impossible 2m(D) = 2 x 1865 MeV > m(j/ѱ) J/ѱ c c OZI suppressed h h elm + weak IA suppressed relative to strong IA BR(J/ѱ μμ) ~ 5%, BR(J/ѱ ee) ~ 5%, long decay time and narrow decay width! 10

11 QCD picture of OZI Rule J/ѱ c c h h colourless gluon exchange Exchange of gluons: 1 g : not possible (colour) 2 g : not possible due to parity violation [P(J/ѱ) = -1 P(g) 2 ] at least 3 gluons are needed, suppression by α s 3 rather narrow decay width/long lifetime (92 kev/ 7.2 x s) 11

12 Hydrogen Atom versus Positronium In both cases 1/r Coulomb potential E n ~ - 1/n 2 (p, e - ) (e +, e - ) Fine structure correction (spin-orbit) ΔE ~ α 2 Hyperfine structure (spin-spin) ΔE ~ α 2 μ p /μ e reduced mass: m m e /2 thus E n E n /2 μ e ~ 650 x μ p fine structure and hyperfine structure corrections of similar size, no clear hierarchy 12

13 Positronium versus Charmonium Strong interaction potential: V(r)~ 1/r + kr Coulomb potential: V(r) ~ 1/r Kind of same structure but no degeneracy of 2 3 P and 1S states (c, c ) (e +, e - ) (note, historically different nomenclature n 2S+1 L J, Positronium n = N+l+1, Charmonium n=n+1 thus 1P in charmonium correspond to 2P in positronium) 13

14 Charmonium Spectroscopy Crystall Ball Experiment: photon detection in full solid angle with Sodium Iodid scintillators 14

15 Charmonium e - e + c c Charmonium produced via elm annihilation must carry quantum numbers of photon Spectra measured by crystal ball experiment photon energy 15

16 Bottomium: 1977 Y(1S) b b μ + μ - discovery of third quark family 20 years of search for top quark started experiment: p beam on fix target at Fermilab Y(1S) + X wrong sign background m[y(1s)] = 9460 MeV ; Γ[Y(1S)] = 54 kev OZI suppressed decay Y B + B - / B 0 B 0 kinematically allowed for Y(4S) and heavier resonances 16

19 Bremsstrahlung with hard γ hard γ : E(γ) > ΔE detection treshold final state: f + f + γ γ is detectable Initial state radiation (ISR): reduced effectively the CMS energy s = zs Z resonance real intermediate Z z max 4m 2 f /s G z σ ff0 zs dz z max = (1- ΔE s )2 radiator function largest effect if σ ff 0 has larger s-dependence In general: distributions are shifted to higher energies and are washed out Example: e + e - μ + μ at LEP dσ QED 0 + δ dω QED y for s ~ m(z) Born: ~1/s EW diagrams dominate 19

20 Bremsstrahlung with hard γ Final state radiation (FSR): σ ff (γ) = σ ff0 (1+ 3α 4π + ) σ ff 0 (for Z mass measurement at LEP and ξ<20 ) Cross section depend on experimental cuts: which ξ values are allowed to consider e + e - μ + μ in the analysis 20

23 Redefinition of el. Charge Matrix element M fi ~ e2 q 2 M fi ~ e2 q 2 [1 + I q 2 + O q 4 ] Instead of redefining the propagator, redefine charge! e 2 e 2 [1 + I(q 2 ) + O(q 4 )] e = or e = or e =? Higher order contributions can either be assigned to the charge (coupling) and we keep a simple 1 q 2 propagator or equivalently we keep a simple e 2 term for the coupling and modify the propagator 23

24 Redefinition of el. Charge How is measured charge related to charge entering vertex in Feynman computation? Measured (physcial) charge is NOT a factor contributing to all vertices, but: e e = - ± O(q 4 ) e0 q 2 =μ 2 (contributions from each diagram enter with factor (-1) n, n: nb of loops) μ: scale of experiment Instead of redifining the charge e 2 introduce bare charge associated to vertices e 2 = 2 [1 - I(q 2 =μ 2 ) + O(q 4 )] 2 = e 2 [1 + I(q 2 =μ 2 ) + O(q 4 )] Definition of electric charge depend on the μ 2 of the experiment 24

25 2 = e 2 [1 + I(q 2 =μ 2 ) + O(q 4 )] Renormalization e 2 = 2 [1 - I(q 2 =μ 2 ) + O(q 4 )] M fi (e 2 0) ~ - ± O(q 4 ) [equ. 1] e0 q 2 e e e e q 2 + ± O(q 4 ) e e e q 2 = μ 2 - e ± O(q 4 ) e e q 2 [equ. 2] M fi (e 2 ) ~ e 2 q 2 [1 + α 3π log ( M2 μ 2 ) - α 3π M2 log ( ) ± O(q q 4 )] = e2 [1 - α log 2 q 2 3π divergencies cancel! q2 + O(q 4 )] μ 2 25

26 Renormalization Reordering of the contributions resulted in cancelation of arbitrary term with cut-off mass Still the apparent divergent matrix element as function of (equ[1]) and the reordered matrix element as function of e (equ[2]) are mathematical identical [up to O(q 4 )]: M(e 2 0) = M(e 2 ) The infinite coefficients in the original series, arose because itself is not finite (it is in fact infinitesimal) 26

27 2 = e 2 [1 - I(q 2 ) + O(q 4 )] e 2 (q 2 ) = 2 1+I(q 2 ) Running Coupling Constants I(q 2 ) = α M2 log 3π q 2 electric charge depends on the q 2 of the experiment! 4πα (q 2 )= e 2 (q 2 ) α(q 2 ) = renormalization (very similar procedure as before) α(q 2 =0) = PETRA: α(q 2 = 45 2 GeV 2 ) = LEP: α(q 2 = 91 2 GeV 2 ) = α 0 1 α 0 log ( q2 3π M 2 ) α(q 2 ) = 1 α(μ2 ) 3π α(μ 2 ) log ( q2) μ 2 Phenomenological explanation: screening at large distances smaller net charge 27

28 Further Loop Corrections virtual corrections all these corrections are infrared divergent (cross section explodes for ν 0 ) soft Bremsstrahlung (E γ << ΔE) no impact on kinematics of scatter process Redefinition of the charge (renormalization) cannot work here! Contrary to propagator corrections, these diagrams depend on initial and/or final scatter particle, thus we would get different charges e.g. for electrons and muons. Divergencies cancel order by order : Ward Identity, fundamental property auf (gauge) field theory [Sakurai 1967, Bjorken and Drell (1964)] 28

29 Summary Physical electric charge is not a constant it depends (slightly) on the q 2 value at which we run the experiment, similarly true for α. e e = - ±. e0 q 2 =μ 2 Physical charge is not the coupling constant at each vertex! (Physical) matrix elements must be finite, can mathematically reached by renormalization. Coupling at each vertex is a theory parameter (bare charge), which depends on the used renormalization and the order to which we compute the diagrams. 29
