Mesons in the Quark Model

Exotic Quantum Number Mesons

Exotic Quantum Numbers

As noted in the Quark Model chapter, simple systems can have the following J^PC quantum

It was also noted that there were a number of J^PC quantum numbers that are not

Observation of a state from equation (2) would indicated something outside the simple quark model picture. Such states could include multi-quark states such as , glueballs (states containing only gluons) ,, or hybrid mesons, written schematically as . In fact, the manifest glue represents an excitation of the gluonic field binding the system. For a more detailed description of the statos these states, please consult the recent review papers mentioned in this note. Various models make predictions for expected quantum numbers and masses for these states.

Naming Conventions

The notation used throughout this article to represent hybrid mesons is that which is currently in use by the Particle Data Group. In their notation, the parity and charge conjugation determine the name of thehybrid, which is taken as the name of the normal meson of the same J,P,C and isospin. The total spin is then used as a subscript to the name.

Lattice Calculations

Here we present a brief summary of lattice results related to exotic quantum number mesons. A more detailed description can be found in the section on Lattice QCD Calculations.
