RESUMO
The doubly charmed tetraquark T_{cc}^{+} recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration is studied on the basis of (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations of the D^{*}D system with nearly physical pion mass m_{π}=146 MeV. The interaction of D^{*}D in the isoscalar and S-wave channel, derived from the hadronic spacetime correlation by the HAL QCD method, is attractive for all distances and leads to a near-threshold virtual state with a pole position E_{pole}=-59(_{-99}^{+53})(_{-67}^{+2}) keV and a large scattering length 1/a_{0}=0.05(5)(_{-2}^{+2}) fm^{-1}. The virtual state is shown to evolve into a loosely bound state as m_{π} decreases to its physical value by using a potential modified to m_{π}=135 MeV based on the pion-exchange interaction. Such a potential is found to give a semiquantitative description of the LHCb data on the D^{0}D^{0}π^{+} mass spectrum. Future study is necessary to perform physical-point simulations with the isospin-breaking and open three-body-channel effects taken into account.
RESUMO
A pair of triply charmed baryons, Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc}, is studied as an ideal dibaryon system by (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD with nearly physical light-quark masses and the relativistic heavy-quark action with the physical charm quark mass. The spatial baryon-baryon correlation is related to their scattering parameters on the basis of the HAL QCD method. The Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc} in the ^{1}S_{0} channel, taking into account the Coulomb repulsion with the charge form factor of Ω_{ccc}, leads to the scattering length a_{0}^{C}≃-19 fm and the effective range r_{eff}^{C}≃0.45 fm. The ratio r_{eff}^{C}/a_{0}^{C}≃-0.024, whose magnitude is considerably smaller than that of the dineutron (-0.149), indicates that Ω_{ccc}Ω_{ccc} is located in the unitary regime.
RESUMO
The ΩΩ system in the ^{1}S_{0} channel (the most strange dibaryon) is studied on the basis of the (2+1)-flavor lattice QCD simulations with a large volume (8.1 fm)^{3} and nearly physical pion mass m_{π}≃146 MeV at a lattice spacing of a≃0.0846 fm. We show that lattice QCD data analysis by the HAL QCD method leads to the scattering length a_{0}=4.6(6)(_{-0.5}^{+1.2}) fm, the effective range r_{eff}=1.27(3)(_{-0.03}^{+0.06}) fm, and the binding energy B_{ΩΩ}=1.6(6)(_{-0.6}^{+0.7}) MeV. These results indicate that the ΩΩ system has an overall attraction and is located near the unitary regime. Such a system can be best searched experimentally by the pair-momentum correlation in relativistic heavy-ion collisions.
RESUMO
The possible exotic meson Z_{c}(3900), found in e^{+}e^{-} reactions, is studied by the method of coupled-channel scattering in lattice QCD. The interactions among πJ/ψ, ρη_{c}, and D[over ¯]D^{*} channels are derived from (2+1)-flavor QCD simulations at m_{π}=410-700 MeV. The interactions are dominated by the off-diagonal πJ/ψ-D[over ¯]D^{*} and ρη_{c}-D[over ¯]D^{*} couplings, which indicates that the Z_{c}(3900) is not a usual resonance but a threshold cusp. Semiphenomenological analyses with the coupled-channel interaction are also presented to confirm this conclusion.
RESUMO
We investigate some aspects of two-flavor QCD with mu≠md at low energy, using the leading order chiral perturbation theory including anomaly effects. While nothing special happens at mu=0 for the fixed md≠0, the neutral pion mass becomes zero at two critical values of mu, between which the neutral pion field condenses, leading to a spontaneously CP broken phase, the so-called Dashen phase. We also show that the "topological susceptibility" in the chiral perturbation theory diverges at these two critical points. We briefly discuss a possibility that mu=0 can be defined by the vanishing the "topological susceptibility. We finally analyze the case of mu=md=m with θ=π, which is equivalent to mu=-md=-m with θ=0 by the chiral rotation. In this case, the η condensation occurs at small m, violating the CP symmetry spontaneously. Deep in the η condensation phase, three pions become Nambu-Goldstone bosons, but they show unorthodox behavior at small m that mπ2=O(m2), which, however, is shown to be consistent with the chiral Ward-Takahashi identities.
RESUMO
We provide, for non-experts, a brief overview of holographic QCD (quantum chromodynamics) and a review of the recent proposal (Hashimoto et al 2010 (arXiv:1003.4988[hep-th])) of a matrix-like description of multi-baryon systems in holographic QCD. Based on the matrix model, we derive the baryon interaction at short distances in multi-flavor holographic QCD. We show that there is a very universal repulsive core of inter-baryon forces for a generic number of flavors. This is consistent with a recent lattice QCD analysis for Nf = 2, 3 where the repulsive core looks universal. We also provide a comparison of our results with the lattice QCD and the operator product expansion analysis.

Quark mass dependence of the equation of state (EOS) for nucleonic matter is investigated, on the basis of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock method with the nucleon-nucleon interaction extracted from lattice QCD simulations. We observe saturation of nuclear matter at the lightest available quark mass corresponding to the pseudoscalar meson mass ≃469 MeV. Mass-radius relation of the neutron stars is also studied with the EOS for neutron-star matter from the same nuclear force in lattice QCD. We observe that the EOS becomes stiffer and thus the maximum mass of neutron star increases as the quark mass decreases toward the physical point.

We perform a nonperturbative calculation of the π(0) â γγ transition form factor and the associated decay width using lattice QCD. The amplitude for a two-photon final state, which is not an eigenstate of QCD, is extracted through a Euclidean time integral of the relevant three-point function. We utilize the all-to-all quark propagator technique to carry out this integration as well as to include the disconnected quark diagram contributions. The overlap fermion formulation is employed on the lattice to ensure exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. After examining various sources of systematic effects, except for a possible discretization effect, we obtain Γπ(0) â γγ = 7.83(31)(49) eV for the pion decay width, where the first error is statistical and the second is our estimate of the systematic error.
RESUMO
The flavor-singlet H dibaryon, which has strangeness -2 and baryon number 2, is studied by the approach recently developed for the baryon-baryon interactions in lattice QCD. The flavor-singlet central potential is derived from the spatial and imaginary-time dependence of the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter wave function measured in N(f)=3 full QCD simulations with the lattice size of L≃2,3,4 fm. The potential is found to be insensitive to the volume, and it leads to a bound H dibaryon with the binding energy of 30-40 MeV for the pseudoscalar meson mass of 673-1015 MeV.
RESUMO
We propose a new method to extract hadron interactions above inelastic threshold from the Nambu-Bethe-Salpeter amplitude in lattice QCD. We consider the scattering such as A + B â C + D, where A, B, C, D are names of different 1-particle states. An extension to cases where particle productions occur during scatterings is also discussed.
