The discussion centers on the search for an axial vector version of the Phi meson, which is known as a vector meson with quantum numbers J=1 and P=-. The inquirer seeks specific data such as light-cone distribution amplitudes (LCDAs), decay constants, and mass, but finds this information lacking in the Particle Data Group (PDG) listings. It is clarified that the Phi meson is in a 3S1 state, while its partner is in a 1S0 state, which is a pseudoscalar, not an axial vector. The conversation emphasizes the importance of consulting relevant literature for deeper understanding and encourages independent research. The discussion highlights the complexities of meson classification and the need for further exploration of the topic.

TL;DR
Is there any information regarding the existence of an axial vector version of the phi meson ?
I only know of the Phi vector meson which is ##s\bar{s}## which has J=1, P=-. I am looking for its axial vector version (dont know by what name it should go) ie J=1, P=+.
More specifically I am looking for any data associated with it eg its LCDAs, decay constant, mass. I am not sure I can see such data in the PDG listings.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The φ is in a 3S1 state. It's partner is therefore in a 1S0 state, which is pseudoscalar. Not an axial vector.
 
PS This is covered in the reference last time you asked a similar question. If you don't read it, how will you learn what is in it?

That thread is still closed "pending results of a misinformation investigation" about whether or not axial vector and pseudo scalar meson quark content are definitively known.
And I did go through the PDG lists back then but I really cant find any such information there regarding quark contents of the different mesons or their LCDA functions or decay constants.
Perhaps im not looking in the right place ?

Could you explain this point a bit or give me a reading reference, preferably a textbook ?
Im not familiar with this system of classifying states that you speak of.
 
See Section 8, "A Naming Scheme for Hadrons", particularly Table 8.1.

That's all the spoon-feeding I intend to do. If you have more questions, show me you have done your part.
 
Hi everyone, I am doing a final project on the title " fundamentals of neutrino physics". I wanted to raise some issues with neutrino which makes it the possible way to the physics beyond standard model. I am myself doing some research on these topics but at some points the math bugs me out. Anyway, i have some questions which answers themselves confounded me due to the complicated math. Some pf them are: 1. Why wouldn't there be a mirror image of a neutrino? Is it because they are...
