Mesons in the Quark Model

Exotic Quantum Number Mesons

Exotic Quantum Numbers

As noted in the Quark Model chapter, simple q{\bar  q} systems can have the following JPC quantum

numbers:
0-+, 0++, 1--, 1+-, 1++, 2--, 2-+, 2++, 3--, 3+-, 3++, .... (1)

It was also noted that there were a number of JPC quantum numbers that are not

allowed for q{\bar  q} systems:

0--, 0+-, 1-+, 2+-, 3-+, .... (2)


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 q{\bar  q}q{\bar  q}, glueballs (states containing only gluons) gg,ggg, or hybrid mesons, written schematically as q{\bar  q}g. In fact, the manifest glue represents an excitation of the gluonic field binding the q{\bar  q} 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. The PDG naming scheme for the hybrid mesons from the flux-tube model is given in Table 1.


JPC (IG) (IG) (I)
0-- (1-) ρ0 (0+) ω01 (1/2) K*1
0+- (1+) b0 (0+) h0,h'0 (1/2) K*0
1-+ (1-) π1 (0+) η1'1 (1/2) K*1
2+- (1+) b2 (0+) h2,h'2 (1/2) K*2

Table 1: The naming scheme for exotic quantum number mesons.


There is also an older naming scheme for exotic quantum number states in which the name is given by the JP of the state. The odd C-parity in then indicated by placing a hat over the name. This is no longer in common use.


JPC (IG) (IG) (I)
0-- (1-) {\hat  \pi }0 (0+) {\hat  \eta }0,{\hat  \eta }'1 (1/2) K*0
0+- (1+) {\hat  a}0 (0+) {\hat  f}0,{\hat  f}'0 (1/2) K*0
1-+ (1-) {\hat  \rho }1 (0+) {\hat  \omega }1,{\hat  \phi }1 (1/2) K*1
2+- (1+) b2 (0+) h2,h'2 (1/2) K*2

Table 1: The older naming scheme for exotic quantum number mesons. This is no longer in common use.
