Interplay of quark and meson degrees of freedom in a near-threshold resonance

Understand

We investigate the interplay of quark and meson degrees of freedom in a physical state representing a near-threshold resonance for the case of a single continuum channel.

  • We demonstrate that such a near-threshold resonance may possess quite peculiar properties if both quark and meson dynamics generate weakly coupled near-threshold poles in the S-matrix.
  • In particular, the scattering t-matrix may possess zeros in this case.
  • We also discuss possible implications for production reactions as well as studies within lattice QCD.
