Spectroscopy of the Atom
Discovery of the Hadrons In the 50’s and 60’s physicists discovered over 100 elementary particles in cosmic ray showers and accelerators. Almost all of these were short-lived and were classified as mesons or baryons. Bubble chamber photo Typical lifetime: 10 -23 s Baryons have half-integer spin and obey Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP). They are fermions. Mesons have integer spin and do not obey the PEP. They are bosons.

No Free Quarks Color Field: Because of self interaction, confining flux tubes form between static color charges
Lattice Calculations and Flux Tubes From G. Bali: quenched QCD with heavy quarks
Flux Tube Breaking
Exciting the Flux Tube Normal meson: flux tube in ground state Excited flux tube There are two degenerate first-excited transverse modes with J=1 – clockwise and counter-clockwise – and their linear combinations lead to JPC = 1– + or JPC=1+ – for the excited flux-tube
The Light Quarks and Light Mesons JPC = 0– + 0++ 1– – 1+ – 2++ … Allowed combinations JPC = 0– – 0+ – 1– + 2+ – … Not-allowed: exotic Expect to find nine mesons with the same J, P, C - a nonet
Quantum Numbers for Hybrid Mesons Quarks Excited Flux Tube Hybrid Meson like Exotic like So only parallel quark spins lead to exotic JPC
QCD and Spectroscopy
Exotic Hybrids Will Be Found More Easily in Photoproduction Quark spins already aligned There are strong indications from theory that photons will produce exotic hybrid mesons with relatively large cross sections. Production of exotic hybrids favored. Almost no data available

Computational Challenge • Glue. X will collect data at 100 MB/sec or 1 Petabyte/year - comparable to LHC-type experiments. • Close collaboration with computer scientists has started and the collaboration is gaining experience with processor farms.
Conclusions The spectroscopy of light quark mesons is on the verge of making important contributions to answering a fundamental question: What is the nature of confinement in QCD? We welcome additional collaborators - theory and experiment and bright, enthusiastic undergrads
