The Tight Knot Spectrum of QCD Flux Tubes
Particle Physics Theory seminar
The Tight Knot Spectrum of QCD Flux Tubes
- Event time: 2:00pm
- Event date: 10th October 2012
- Speaker: Tom Kephart (Vanderbilt University)
- Location: Lecture Theatre A, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
We model the observed J++ mesonic mass spectrum in terms of energies for tightly knotted and linked chromoelectric QCD flux tubes. The data is fit with a single parameter. We predict one new state at 1210 MeV and a plethora of new states above 1700 MeV.
