Motivations n n The Standard Model explains the existence of hadrons well. The Standard Model allows for the existence of particles made by gluons. A gluon carries both a color and an anti-color. Either two or three gluons may confine together as color singlet GLUEBALLs Examples of glueballs C. Zhou (Mc. Gill Univ. ) ECT *– Trento, February 25 -29, 2008 3
Motivations (Cont. ) n The K 0 s system is expected to couple to scalar and tensor glueballs K 0 s: has S=0, P=-1, C=+1 K 0 s : has P=+1, C=+1 J = even Question: What is the mixing fraction of mesons and glueballs? Hybrid? Tetraquarks? Flavor octet states? C. Zhou (Mc. Gill Univ. ) ECT *– Trento, February 25 -29, 2008 4

Fitting functions Ø Modified Relativistic Breit-Wigner (MRBW) function: • Ci is the amplitude of the resonance • m*, i is the mass of resonance • Гd, i is the effective resonance width • M is the K 0 s invariant mass Ø Background function: • A, B, C are free parameters • m. K 0 s is the K 0 s mass from PDG C. Zhou (Mc. Gill Univ. ) ECT *– Trento, February 25 -29, 2008 13
Fitting using Breit-Wigner with no interference The structure around 1270 region is due to the destructive interference between f 2(1270) and a 2(1320) JPC= 0++ C. Zhou (Mc. Gill Univ. ) JPC= 2++ 2++ ECT *– Trento, February 25 -29, 2008 The dip between f 2(1270)/a 2(1320) and f 2(1525) is due to the constructive interference between the states. 14
