Symmetrization Selection Rules

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-28 v3 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We introduce strong and electromagnetic interaction selection rules for the two-body decay and production of exotic J^{PC} = 0^{+-}, 1^{-+}, 2^{+-}, 3^{-+} hybrid mesons, four-quark states and glueballs. The rules arise from symmetrization in states. Examples include various decays to eta' eta, eta pi, eta' pi and pi^{\pm} pi^0. The symmetrization rules can discriminate between hybrid and four-quark interpretations of a 1^{-+} signal.
