Lattice Simulations in MOM v.s. Schroedinger Functional Scheme and Triality

The QCD beta function extracted from polarized electron proton scattering data obtained at JLab and the lattice simulation in the MOM scheme suggest that the critical flavor number for the presence of IR fixed point is about three. In analyses of Schroedinger functional scheme, however, critical flavor number for the presence of IR fixed point and the conformality is larger than nine.In the QCD analysis, when quarks are expressed in quaternion basis, the product of quaternions are expressed by octonions and the octonion posesses the triality symmetry. Since the triality has the effect of multiplying the falvor number, it could explain the apparent large critical flavor number in the Schroedinger functinal scheme. In this scheme, larger degrees of freedom in adjusting data of different scales on the boundary are necessary than in the MOM scheme.In weak interaction, there is no clear lepton-flavor violation except in the neutrino oscillation. If the triality is assigned to the lepton flavors(e,{mu} and {tau}) and they are assumed to be exact symmetry, or the electro-magnetic interaction preserves tiality, but the strong interaction is triality blind, there is a possibility of explaining the neutrino oscillation through triality mixing of the matter field.The self energy of gluons, ghost and gauge bosons due to self-dual gauge fields and leptonic decays of B,D and D{sub s} mesons are discussed.

Incoherent {phi} photo-production from deuteron in SPring-8/LEPS

We present measurements of differential cross sections and decay asymmetries of incoherent {phi}-meson photo-production from the deuteron at forward angles using linearly polarized photons beam in energy range from the production threshold to E = 2.4 GeV. The experiment was performed at the SPring-8/LEPS facility. The differential cross section of incoherent production shows a large suppression compared with the free proton case. The reduction for the deuteron cannot be clearly explained in terms of simple isospin asymmetry. The decay asymmetry of incoherent {phi} photo-production shows that the eta exchange process is small. Since the exclusive K{sup +}K{sup -}p cross section shows the same reduction with incoherent, both the proton and neutron cross section reduce similarly. Consequently, the {pi}-{eta} interference effect is small too. The present results suggest that our understanding of {phi} photo-production within a nucleus should be rearranged.

Differential cross sections and spin density matrix elements for {gamma}p {yields} {phi}p from CLAS

Preliminary differential cross-sections and the {rho}{sub MM'}{sup 0} spin density matrix elements (SDME) for the reaction {gamma}{rho} {yields} {phi}p for both charged-({phi} {yields} K{sup +}K-) and neutral-mode ({phi} {yields} K{sub L}{sup 0}K{sub S}{sup 0}) topologies obtained from CLAS are presented. Our kinematic coverage is from near production threshold ({radical}(s){approx}1.97 GeV) to ({radical}(s) 2.84 GeV), with a wide coverage in the production angle. As seen in previous LEPS results, the differential cross-sections show a localized 'bump' between ({radical}(s){approx}2 and 2.2 GeV that is not expected from a simple Pomeron exchange picture. Comparisons between the charged- and neutral-mode results and possible effects from the K{sup +}{Lambda}(1520) channel are discussed. Our SDME results confirm the well-known deviations from t-channel helicity conservation (TCHC) for Pomeron exchange, but s-channel helicity conservation (SCHC) is also seen to be broken.

Tensor meson contribution to {gamma}p {yields} K{sup +}{Lambda}({Sigma};{sup 0}) at high energies

The role of the tensor meson K{sub 2}*(1430) exchange is investigated in the kaon photoproduction within the Regge framework. Inclusion of the K{sub 2}* exchange with the meson-baryon coupling constants chosen from the SU(3) symmetry reproduces the cross sections in good agreement with the experimental data. This shows the importance of the tensor meson exchange in the present process.

{Lambda}K*{Lambda}(1116) photoproduction and nucleon resonances

In this presentation, we report our recent studies on the {Lambda}K*{Lambda}(1116) photoproduction off the proton target, using the tree-level Born approximation, via the effective Lagrangian approach. In addition, we include the nine (three- or four-star confirmed) nucleon resonances below the threshold {radical}(s{sub th}){approx_equal}2008 MeV, to interpret the discrepancy between the experiment and previous theoretical studies, in the vicinity of the threshold region. From the numerical studies, we observe that the S{sub 11}(1535) and S11(1650) play an important role for the cross-section enhancement near the {radical}(s{sub th}). It also turns out that, in order to reproduce the data, we have the vector coupling constants gK*S{sub 11}(1535){Lambda} = (7.0{approx}9.0) and gK*S{sub 11}(1650){Lambda} (5.0{approx}6.0).

Kaon photoproduction and electroproduction near threshold

We analyze the electromagnetic production of K{sup +}{Lambda} and K{sup 0}{Lambda} near their production thresholds by using isobar models. In the K{sup +}{Lambda} channel we show that the model can nicely describe the available experimental data. In the K{sup 0}{Lambda} channel we demonstrate that the K{sup 0} charge form factor has sizable effects on the longitudinal cross section. By extending the model up to W = 1730 MeV, we are able to observe the existence of the narrow P{sub 11}(J{sup p} = 1/2{sup +}) resonance in the kaon photoproduction process. It is found that the most convincing mass (width) of this resonance is 1650 MeV(5 MeV).

Hadronic particles made of multi-{rho}(770) mesons

We summarize the work [1] where we studied the few body system made of several {rho}(770) mesons. Based on the very strong interaction of two {rho}(770) vector mesons in spin 2 and isospin 0, we show that the resonances {rho}3(1690)(3{sup --}), f4(2050)(4{sup ++}), {rho}5(2350)(5{sup --}) and f6(2510)(6{sup ++}) can be interpreted as few body systems made of an increasing number of {rho}(770) particles. The fixed center approximation of the Faddeev equations is used in order to write the multi-body interaction in terms of the elementary two-body scattering amplitudes. Very good agreement with the experimental masses is found. An extension of the model to include also the interaction with K*(895) is discussed.

Status Report of J-PARC E19

The aim of the J-PARC E19 experiment is to search for the pentaquark {Theta}{sup +} in the {pi}{sup -}+p{yields}K{sup -}+X reaction. The expected sensitivity reaches 75 {mu}b/sr in the laboratory frame. This is the first experimental program to be performed at the J-PARC Hadron Facility. The spectrometer has been completed and successfully operated. The physics run has started on October 2010. As a first step, we accumulated the statistics which is enough to confirm the existence of the {Theta}{sup +} assuming the cross section of 1.9 {mu}b/sr reported in the past KEK experiment. We plan to study the energy dependence of the cross section for beamtime from Spring 2011.

Studies of Partonic Transverse Momentum and Spin Structure of the Nucleon at HERMES

The investigation of the partonic degrees of freedom beyond collinear approximation (3D description) has been gained increasing interest in the last decade. At the HERMES experiment, azimuthal single-spin asymmetries of pions and charged kaons produced in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering of electrons and positrons off a transversely (polarized) hydrogen and deuterium target have been measured. Such asymmetries provide new insights on crucial aspects of the parton dynamics. By measuring various hadron types in the initial and final states, flavor sensitivity is achieved. Evidence is reported of the poorly known transversity function and of naive-T-odd transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions related to spin-orbit effects. Evidence of spin-orbit effects in quark fragmentation is also observed, which are opposite in sign for favored and disfavored processes.

NJL-jet model calculation of quark fragmentation to hadrons

A description of fragmentation processes of quarks into hadrons is presented in the framework of the recently developed NJL-jet model, where the momentum and isospin sum rules are satisfied naturally. We present the results for pion, kaon and nucleon fragmentation functions, and compare the results with the empirical functions.

pp{yields}p{Lambda}K{sup +} reaction in search for the K{sup -}pp state - quest for a kaonic nuclei

The dibaryonic kaonic nuclear bound state, K{sup -}pp is searched by studying an exclusive p+p{yields}p+{Lambda}+K{sup +} process at several beam energies. A signature of the K{sup -}pp is explored in a p+p{yields}X({identical_to}K{sup -}pp)+K{sup +} reaction that follows a decay of the X into p+{Lambda}. We found in a missing-mass {Delta}M(K{sup +}) spectrum and a {Lambda}p invariant-mass M({Lambda}p) spectrum of DISTO data at 2.85 GeV a resonance with M = 2267 MeV/c{sup 2} and {Gamma} = 118 MeV. Those events are found to be associated with a mono energetic kaon. We investigate this resonance as a candidate of the K{sup -}pp further also with a different beam energies.

Studies of antikaon interactions with nucleons at DA{Phi}NE

AMADEUS is an experiment planned to be performed at the DAFNE e{sup +}e{sup -} collider of the Frascati National Laboratories (Italy) of INFN, to investigate the antikaon-nuclei interaction at low energies. AMADEUS will perform, for the first time, full-acceptance studies of antikaon interaction in light nuclei, including a complete experimental program for the case of the kaonic clusters. The study of the absorption of antikaon by the nucleus will provide information concerning the K-barN interaction and the modification of the kaon mass in the nuclear medium.The experiment is being preceded by the study of the hadronic interactions of K{sup -} in the {sup 4}He of the drift chamber from the KLOE experiment data.

Experimental studies on kaonic atoms at DA{Phi}NE

We have measured the K-series x-rays of kaonic hydrogen atoms to determine the strong-interaction energy-level shift and width of the 1s atomic state with significant improvements over the previous experiments. The measurement offers a unique possibility to precisely determine the complex K{sup -}p S-wave scattering length. We have also measured kaonic x-ray spectra with several gaseous targets : deuterium, helium-3 and helium-4. In this paper, we present an overview of this experiment and preliminary spectra of those kaonic x-rays.

A Search for deeply-bound Kaonic nuclear state at the J-PARC E15 experiment

The J-PARC E15 experiment will be performed to search for the simplest kaonic nuclear bound state, K-barNN, by the in-flight {sup 3}He(K{sup -},N) reaction. The exclusive measurement can be performed by a simultaneous measurement of the missing mass using the primary neutron or proton, and the invariant mass via the expected decay, e.g. K{sup -}pp{yields}{Lambda}p{yields}p{pi}{sup -}p. an overview of the experiment and the preparation status are reported.

Application of coupled-channel Complex Scaling Method to {Lambda}(1405)

We have applied the coupled-channel Complex Scaling Method (ccCSM) to the excited baryon {Lambda}(1405) which is the important building block of kaonic nuclei. {Lambda}(1405) is treated as a resonant state of the meson-baryon coupled system, K-barN and {pi}{Sigma}. In this article, it is reported that the ccCSM works well even with an energy-dependent K-barN potential such as a chiral SU(3)-based potential. We have tested two cases: the self-consistency condition is imposed on I) real energy and II) complex energy. Then, the self-consistent solutions are obtained in both cases in the framework of the ccCSM.

Probing internal structure of {Lambda}(1405) in meson-baryon dynamics with chiral symmetry

The internal structure of the resonant {Lambda}(1405) state is investigated based on meson-baryon coupled-channels chiral dynamics, by evaluating density distributions obtained from the form factors of the {Lambda}(1405) state. The form factors are extracted from current-coupled scattering amplitudes in which the current is coupled to the constituent hadrons inside {Lambda}(1405). Using several probe interactions and channel decomposition, we find that the resonant {Lambda}(1405) state is dominantly composed of widely spread K-bar around N, with a small fraction of the escaping {pi}{Sigma} component.

The Hyperon {Lambda}(1405) in p+p reactions

We present an analysis of the hyperon {Lambda}(1405) for p+p reactions at 3.5 GeV kinetic beam energy. The data were taken with the High Acceptance Di-Electron Spectrometer (HADES). A {Lambda}(1405) signal could be reconstructed in both charged decay channels ({Lambda}(1405){yields}{Sigma}{sup {+-}}{pi}{sup {+-}}).
