    Practical parametrization of two-pole structure

    J.X. Cui · Zhi-Yong Zhou · Zhiguang Xiao

    We suggest that the extended Lee-Friedrichs model could be directly used as a practical parametrization method for the experimental analysis of resonance structures. This parametrization incorporates the constraints of relativistic phase space and the threshold behavior, and respects both unitarity and analyticity constraints of the scattering amplitude. As such, the poles on unphysical Riemann sheets could be easily extracted. This parametrization method offers a comparable fit quality to the improved Breit-Wigner parametrization with an energy-dependent width function when the coupling strength is moderate. It is found that the parametrization could be used to correctly extract the poles near the physical region correctly. In particular, it can naturally incorporate the two-pole structure in which one pole is shifted from the discrete state and the other is dynamically generated. Moreover, the coupled-channel formulation of the extended Lee-Friedrichs parameterization is straightforward and its relationship with the Flatté parametrization form is discussed. Using , , and states as illustrative examples, we demonstrate the effectiveness of this parametrization in capturing fit qualities and identifying relevant poles. It is illustrated that the and could be perfectly parameterized in the Lee-Friedrichs form as a two-pole structure. A tentative investigation of s in coupled-channel parametrization form are discussed, and a possible lineshape contributed by and is presented. The proposed parametrization scheme holds promise for future studies involving exotic hadron states near thresholds, offering a valuable tool for analyzing resonance structures in upcoming experimental investigations.

    Bounds on variations of the strange quark mass from Big Bang nucleosynthesis

    Ulf-G. Meißner🇩🇪 · Bernard Metsch🇩🇪 · Helen Meyer🇩🇪

    We analyze the effect of a variation of the strange nucleon matrix element on the abundances of the light elements produced in the Big Bang. For that, we vary the nucleon mass in the leading eight reactions that involve neutrons, protons and the four lightest nuclei. We use various available Big Bang nucleosynthesis codes and find that the measured deuterium and He abundances set strict limits on the nucleon mass variations. This translates into an upper bound of possible variations of the strange quark mass, .

    Status of two-baryon scattering in lattice QCD

    Jeremy R. Green🇩🇪

    In these proceedings, I will review lattice QCD calculations of baryon-baryon scattering, their methods, and their challenges. In the last few years, there has been a new generation of calculations with increased focus on controlling systematic uncertainties. Contrary to the findings of earlier exploratory calculations, it now appears probable that at heavy pion masses there is no nucleon-nucleon bound state.
