Abstract

Abstract Speculating that the $ud$ diquark with spin 0 has a similar mass to the constituent $s$ quark, we introduce a symmetry between the $s$ quark and the $\overline{ud}$ diquark. Constructing an algebra for this symmetry, we regard a triplet of the $s$ quarks with spin up and down and the $\overline{ud}$ diquark with spin 0 as a fundamental representation of this algebra. We further build higher representations constructed by direct products of the fundamental representations. We propose assignments of hadrons to the multiples of this algebra. We find in particular that $\{D_{s}, D_{s}^{*}, \Lambda_{c}\}$, $\{\eta_{s}, \phi, \Lambda, f_{0}(1370)\}$, and $\{\Omega_{c}, T_{sc}\}$ form a triplet, a nonet, and a quintet, respectively, where $T_{sc}$ is a genuine tetraquark meson composed of $\overline{ud}sc$. We also find a mass relation between them by introducing symmetry breaking due to the mass difference between the $s$ quark and the $\overline{ud}$ diquark. The masses of the possible tetraquarks $\overline{ud}sc$ and $\overline{ud}sb$ are estimated from the symmetry breaking and the masses of $\Omega_{c}$ and $\Omega_{b}$ to be 2.942 GeV and 6.261 GeV, respectively.

Highlights

  • Symmetries play important roles in hadron physics

  • We have introduced a symmetry among the constituent strange quark and the ud diquark, supposing that their masses be very similar to each other, say 500 MeV

  • Introducing a symmetry breaking coming from the mass difference the s quark and the ud diquark, we have derived a mass relation among each multiplet

Summary

Introduction

Symmetries play important roles in hadron physics. Hadrons can be classified into the representations of symmetry groups, and the hadron masses and interactions can be explained by the symmetry properties. We introduce a symmetry in which the constituent s quark and the ud diquark form a fundamental representation thanks to their similar masses and classify hadrons according to the symmetry to discuss the breaking pattern of the symmetry in the mass spectrum of hadrons composed of the s quark and ud diquark. This is the same approach to find the flavor SU(3) symmetry in the hadron spectrum.
