Candidate of 0-+ ppbar Bound State
 X(1835) could be the same structure as ppbar mass
threshold enhancement X(1860)/X(1830).
 It could be a ppbar bound state since it dominantly
decays to ppbar when its mass is above ppbar mass
threshold.
 Its spin-parity should be 0-+: this would be an
important test.
There is already an (1760) nearby , so that
 X(1835) is very likely to be an unconventional 0-+
meson.
This strong threshold enhancement is
NOT observed in pp   ) S1(  at CLEO

 0.7% @ 90% CL
Phys.Rev.D73, 032001(2006)
 This result cannot be
explained by pure FSI effect,
since FSI is a universal effect.
FSI interpretation of the
narrow and strong ppbar
threshold enhancement is
disfavored.
 This indicates that X(1860)
has a production property
similar to ’ meson.

 FSI interpretation of the
narrow and strong ppbar

is disfavored.
 This again indicates that
X(1860) has a production
property similar to ’
meson.

BESII Preliminary
No narrow strong

 This again disfavors FSI
and indicates that X(1860)
has a production
property similar to ’
meson.
c.f.:
Br ( J /     ' ) / Br ( J /     ' )
 0.04
 This also indicates
X(1860) may have strong
coupling to gluons as ’
meson.
Summary of new studies on ppbar mass
threshold structure X(1860)
 Pure FSI effect cannot explain X(1860)
structure.
 X(1860) has production properties similar to ’
meson 
• Why a baryonium (candidate) has a production
properties similar to ’ meson?
• ’ excitation? Why an ’ excitation dominantly
decays into ppbar above ppbar mass threshold?

About f0(1500)
 It is first clearly observed in J/psi radiative decays.
 Its production rate in J/psi radiative decays:
BR( J /  f 0 (1500))  BR( f 0 (1500)   ) ~ 1104
( BESII)
BR( f0 (1500)   ) ~ 35%( PDG)
BR( J /  f0 (1500)) ~ 3104
The production rate of f0(1500) in J/psi radiative decays is
lower than f0(1710):
BR( J /   f0 (1710))  9 104 ( PDG)
It indicates f0(1710) has stronger coupling to gluons than
f0(1500)  which one contains more glueball content?

 big destructive interference among X ,  (1700) and PS
Broad X cannot be fit with known mesons
or their interference
 It is unlikely to be (1450), because:
• The parameters of the X is incompatible with (1450).
• (1450) has very small fraction to KK. From PDG:
Br (  (1450)  K  K  )  1.6 103 (95%C.L.)
 It cannot be fit with the interference of (770) ,
(1900) and (2150):
• The log-likelihood value worsens by 85 (c2=170).
How to understand broad X(1580)?
 Search of a similar structure in J/  KSK  will
help to determine its isospin.
 X(1580) could have different nature from
conventional mesons:
• There are already many 1- - mesons nearby.
• Width is much broader than other mesons.
• Broad width is expected for a multiquark state.

 A strong enhancement is observed near the mass

 Preliminary PWA with various combinations of
possible N* and Λ* in the fits —— The structure Nx*has:
Mass 1500~1650MeV
Width 70~110MeV
JP
favors 1/2-
The most important is:
It has large BR(J/ψ  pNX*) BR(NX* KΛ) 2 X 10-4 ,
suggesting NX* has strong coupling to KΛ.
Nx* is N(1535)?
 From:
BR( J /  pN(1535))  BR( N1535 p ) ~ 1 ~ 2 104
BR( J /  pNX* )  BR( N X*  K) ~ 2 104
If Nx* is N(1535), we would have
g K2 
~ 10

Then N(1535) would have very large ssbar component
(a 5-quark system).

NOT observed in p  K process

ΣK states in the chiral
SU(3) quark model, the
phase shift shows the
existence of a ΛK
resonance between ΛK
and ΣK mass threshold.

further study.

Prospects of glueball
searches at BESIII
J/ decays are an ideal factory to search for
and study light exotic hadrons:
 The production cross section of J/ is high.
 The production BR of hadrons in J/ decays are
one order higher than ’ decays (“12% rule”).
 The phase space to 1-3 GeV hadrons in J/
decays are larger than  decays.
 Exotic hadrons are naively expected to have
larger or similar production BR to conventional
hadrons in J/ decays.
 Clean background environment compared with
hadron collision experiments, e.g., “JP, I” filter.
One Important Physics Goal of BESIII
With 1010 J/psi events, we hope to answer:
 Whether glueballs exist or not?
• Naively, we estimate in each exclusive decay mode:
BR( J /  G)  BR(G  hh) ~ 105
103
102
• If the eff. is about 20%, we would have 20000 events
for each decay mode
 we should observe a relative narrow (width:
50~200MeV) glueball if it exists.
About scalar glueball
 Many scalar mesons in the mass range 1.4~1.8
GeV, where a scalar glueball is predicted to be.
More studies will be performed at BESIII.
 More theoretical studies are also needed:
•
•
•
•
Not only glueball mass, but also width
Decay patterns
Production rate in J/psi radiative decays
Mixing mechanism
2++ glueball candidates
 Lattice QCD predicts the 2++ glueball mass in
the range of 2.2~2.4 GeV
 (2230) was a candidate of 2++ glueball:
• It was first observed at MARKIII in J/KK
• It was observed at BES I in J/KK, , ppbar
• It was not observed at DM2.
BES-I (2230) Result
(2230)
The situation at BESII
J /  K  K 
J /  K s0 K s0
 The mass plots shows no
evident (2230) peaks in
J/KK, , ppbar, which
is different from BESI.
 However, it is difficult to
exclude its existence since we
may still need a small signal
at the 4.5  level in the PWA
based on our preliminary
study. Its mass, width and BR
are consistent with BESI and
MARKIII results
 Difficult to draw firm
conclusion at present. We
hope to give a final answer at
BESIII on (2230)
Other 2++ glueball candidates
 No other obvious good candidates have been
observed in J/psi radiative decays in the mass
range predicted by LQCD.
 What does it mean:
• LQCD prediction might not be very reliable, or
• BR(J/  G)xBR(Ghh) is small ( <10-4 ) so that
we don’t have the sensitivity to observe it ( quite
possible ), or,
• The width of a glueball is very large ( ~1GeV,
E.Klepmt ).
Where to search for the 0-+ glueball?
 Lattice QCD predicts the 0-+ glueball mass in
the range of 2.3~2.6 GeV.
 (1440) and X(1835) were suggested being
possible candidates, but their masses are
much lower than LQCD predictions.
No 0-+ glueball candidate observed in the
mass range 2.3~2.6 GeV
X (1835)
 No evidence for a
relatively narrow state
( 100 ~ 200 MeV width )
above 2GeV in
J /  KK , , K * K *,
, ' ...
 Again:
M '
• LQCD reliable?
• Production rate could be
very low.
• Glueball width could be
very large.
Summary
 New results on light 0-+,0++ and 1-- mesons as well
as excited baryons were briefly reviewed.
 We would expect more new observations on light
hadron spectroscopy at BESIII and we hope to
answer whether glueballs exist or not at that time.

Discussion on KΛ mass threshold
enhancement NX(1610)
 NX(1610) has strong coupling to KΛ:
• From BR( J /  pp)  2 103
(S&D-wave
decay) and J /  pNX (1600) is a P-wave
decay, we can estimate
BR( J /  pNX )  1.0 103
• From BESII,
BR( J /  pNX ) BR( N X  K) ~ 2 104
BR( N X  K)  20%
• The phase space of NX to KΛ is very small, so
such a big BR shows NX has very strong
coupling to KΛ, indicating it has a big hidden
ssbar component. (5-quark system)
Non-observation of NX in p  K
suggests an evidence of new baryon :
 It is unlikely to be N*(1535).
If NX were N*(1535), it should be observed
in p  K
process, since:
•  (p  N *  K)  BR( N *  p) BR( N *  K)
• From PDG, for the N* in the mass range
1535~1750 MeV, N*(1535) has the
largest BR( N *  p) , and from previous
estimation, NX would also have almost the
largest BR to KΛ.
 Also, the EM transition rate of NXto proton
is very low.
