Symmetrization selection rules for the decay of four-quark states to two J=0 mesons are analysed in a non - field theoretic context with isospin symmetry. The OZI allowed decay of an isoscalar J^PC = (1,3,...)^{-+} exotic state to eta' eta…
The exploration of exotic mesons, which transcend the conventional quark-antiquark framework, is pivotal for advancing our understanding of QCD and the strong interaction. Among these, states possessing the quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$,…
We introduce strong interaction selection rules for the two-body decay and production of hybrid and conventional mesons coupling to two S-wave hybrid or conventional mesons. The rules arise from symmetrization in states in the limit of…
Hybrid mesons occupy a unique position in the hadronic spectrum, offering a valuable insight into the non-perturbative nature of the glue field. Hybrid states with exotic $J^{PC}$ quantum numbers, such as the $1^{-+}$, $0^{+-}$ and…
The coupling of a neutral hybrid {1,3,5...}^-+ exotic particle (or current) to two neutral (hybrid) meson particles with the same J^PC and J=0 is proved to be sub-leading to the usual large-N_c QCD counting. The coupling of the same exotic…
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…
We report on some interesting recent theoretical and experimental advances on J^PC exotics and hybrid mesons. These are the decay selection rules governing J^PC exotic decay, the experimental evidence for a J^PC = 1^-+ exotic in eta pi and…
We study the possible interpretation of the two exotic resonances $J^{PC}= 1^{-+}$ at 1400 and 1600 MeV, claimed to be observed by BNL, decaying respectively into $\eta\pi$, $\eta'\pi$, $f_{1}\pi$ and $\rho\pi$. These objects are…
We provide a set of sum rules, using flavour symmetries, relating CP-averaged ratios and CP asymmetries of different neutral and charged B mesons decaying into an eta(') particle together with a pion, a kaon or a second eta('). These sume…
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.…
By studying the spin structure of an S-wave meson-antimeson system in the heavy quark limit, we find two selection rules for the $c\bar{c}$ spin $J_{c\bar{c}}$ being only 1: (a) $J=min(J_\ell)-1$ or $J=max(J_\ell)+1$; (b)…
An exotic meson, the $\pi_1(1400)$ with $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$, has been seen to decay into a p-wave $\eta\pi$ system. If this decay conserves flavor SU(3), then it can be shown that this exotic meson must be a four-quark state ($q\bar q+q\bar q$)…
In this article, we study the decays $\psi^{\prime}\to {J/\psi}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\eta_c^{\prime}\to {\eta_c}\pi^+\pi^-$ by taking into account the chiral symmetry breaking effects, the final-state interactions and the heavy quark symmetry.…
Patterns of chiral symmetry violation and tests of the conservation of the fundamental C, P and CP symmetries are key physics issues in studies of the pi0, eta and eta' meson decays. These tests include searches for rare or forbidden decays…
In the heavy quark limit, we discuss the spin of the charm-anticharm pair $J_{c\bar{c}}$ in an S-wave meson-antimeson molecule or resonance. One finds two cases that $J_{c\bar{c}}$ cannot be 0: (a) $J=|j_2-j_4|-1$ or $J=j_2+j_4+1$ where $J$…
By assuming SU(6)_cs symmetry for pentaquark decays one finds a selection rule, which strongly reduces the number of states able to decay into a baryon and a meson final state and allows an intriguing identification for the Theta^+ particle…
Decay widths, branching ratios and production dynamics of some recently discovered $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}, 0^{-+}$,$1^{--}$ and $2^{-+}$ mesons are found to be in remarkable agreement with the predicted properties of hybrid mesons. We propose…
Mesons with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ cannot be represented as simple quark-antiquark pairs. We explore hybrid configurations in the light meson sector comprising a quark, an antiquark and an excited gluon, studying the properties of…
A model of hybrid meson structure based on the QCD Hamiltonian in Coulomb gauge and the use of a single constituent quasigluon is applied compute hadronic decays of mesons with exotic quantum numbers, $0^{+-}$ and $2^{+-}$. These correspond…
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^{-+}…
