A model of light hybrid mesons and their strong decays is developed. The model employs a gluonic quasiparticle to describe low energy gluodynamics and uses the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge to guide the construction of states and decay…
We presents an investigation of the $K^*(1680)$ state in its strong decays into two-body finial states within the flux-tube model and quark pair creation model. Since the charge conjugation parity is not conserved in the strange sector, the…
We argue that the mass, production, total decay width, and decay pattern of the $\eta_2(1870)$ do not appear to contradict with the picture of it being the conventional $2 ^1D_2$ $q\bar{q}$ state. The possibility of the $\eta_2(1870)$ being…
The observation of $\pi_1(1600) \to \pi \rho$ is shown in the flux-tube model to be compatible with this state being a hybrid meson with branching ratio to this channel $\sim 30%$. The $\pi \rho$ widths of other hybrids are related by…
Inspired by recent BESIII's amplitude analysis on $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$, we develop a model based on the chiral unitary approach to discribe the $D_s^+\to\pi^+\pi^0\pi^0$ decay, where $D_s^+$ decays into a $\pi^+$ and a quark-antiquark…
The possibility of Y(2175) as a $2{^3D_1}$ $s\bar{s}$ meson is studied. We study the decay of $2{^3D_1}$ $s\bar{s}$ from both the $^3P_0$ model and the flux tube model, and the results are similar in the two models. We show that the decay…
The heavy quark expansion of Quantum Chromodynamics and the strong coupling flux tube picture of nonperturbative glue are employed to develop the phenomenology of hybrid meson decays. The decay mechanism explicitly couples gluonic degrees…
The mass spectrum and strong decays of the X(1870) and $\eta_2(1870)$ are analyzed. Our results indicate that X(1870) and $\eta_2(1870)$ are the two different resonances. The narrower X(1870) seems likely a good hybrid candidate. We support…
The phenomenology of a newly developed model of hybrid meson decay is developed. The decay mechanism is based on the heavy quark expansion of QCD and the strong coupling flux tube picture of nonperturbative glue. A comprehensive list of…
The status of conventional baryon flux-tubes and hybrid baryons is reviewed. Recent surprises are that a model prediction indicates that hybrid baryons are very weakly produced in glue-rich Psi decays, and an analysis of electro-production…
We calculate the complete form of the dimension-8 condensate contributions in the two-point correlator of the ($1^{-+}$,$0^{++}$) light hybrid current considering the operator mixing under renormalization. We find the inclusion these higher…
Two competing models for strong hadronic decays, the $^3P_0$ and $^3S_1$ models, are currently in use. Attempts to rule out one or the other have been hindered by a poor understanding of final state interactions and by ambiguities in the…
A review of the theoretical and experimental status of hybrid hadrons is presented. The states $\pi_1(1400)$, $\pi_1(1600)$, and $\pi_1(2015)$ are thoroughly reviewed, along with experimental results from GAMS, VES, Obelix, COMPASS, KEK,…
We examine the D_s -> f_0(980) pi amplitude through a constituent quark-meson model, incorporating heavy quark and chiral symmetries, finding a good agreement with the recent E791 data analysis of D_s -> 3pi via f_0(980). The f_0(980)…
We show that current analyses of experimental data indicate that the strong decay mode pi_2 -> b_1 pi is anomalously small. Non-relativistic quark models with spin-1 quark pair creation, such as ^3P_0, ^3S_1 and ^3D_1 models, as well as…
Using a sample of $(10087\pm44)\times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events, which is about 45 times larger than that was previously analyzed, a further investigation on the $J/\psi\rightarrow \gamma 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ decay is performed. A significant…
We calculate the strong decays of hybrid mesons to conventional mesons for all the lowest lying J^PC hybrids of flavour uu, dd, ss, cc and bb. A decay operator developed from the heavy quark expansion of quantum chromodynamics is employed.…
Within the framework of the QCD sum rules, we consider the three-point correlation function, work at the limit q^2 -> 0 and m_\pi -> 0, and pick out the singular term ~ {1\over q^2} to extract the pionic coupling constants of the 1^{-+}…
Decays $D\to\pi^+\pi^-e^+\nu_e$ and $D_s\to\pi^+ \pi^-e^+\nu_e$ serve as probes that check the existence of constituent $q\bar q$ components in the wave functions of scalar mesons decaying into $\pi^+\pi^-$. There exists a great deal of…
Two mechanisms for the $\pi_1$ ($J^{PC}=1^{-+}$) hybrid meson decay processes $\pi_1\to\eta\pi,\eta'\pi$ are investigated. These mechanisms are applied to $\phi\to\eta\gamma,\eta'\gamma$ and $J/\psi\to\eta\gamma,\eta'\gamma$ decays to…
