Slope of the topological charge, proton spin and $0^{-+}$ pseudoscalar di-gluonia spectra

TL;DR

This paper refines the sum rule analysis of $0^{-+}$ di-gluonia spectra, estimates the topological charge slope, and identifies multiple gluonium states, including potential candidates for known mesons, using high-order moments and improved spectral parametrization.

Contribution

It introduces an advanced sum rule approach with high-degree moments and a refined spectral function model to identify multiple gluonium states and estimate the topological charge slope.

Findings

Identification of three gluonium groups with specific masses and decay constants.

Estimate of the topological charge slope $ ext{chi'}(0)$ and its implications for proton spin.

Support for the gluonium nature of $ ext{eta}(1405)$ and potential gluon content in $ ext{eta}(1295)$.

Abstract

We discuss the topics mentioned in the title by scrutinizing and improving the $0^{-+}$ di-gluonia sum rules within the standard SVZ-expansion at N2LO without instantons. First, we reconsider the estimate of the slope of the topological charge $\chi'(0)=24.3(3.4)$ MeV which imply $0.144(5) [\rm data: 0.145(13)]$ for the first moment of the polarized proton structure function (proton spin) and $G_A^{(0)} = 0.337(50) [\rm data=0.330(39)]$ for the singlet form factor of the axial current. Second, we work with high degree moments and parametrize the spectral function beyond the minimal duality ansatz: "One resonance plus QCD continuum" to get the $0^{-+}$ di-gluonia spectra. Then, we obtain three groups of gluonia: The familiar light $\eta_1$ [singlet gluon component of the $\eta'(958)$] with $[M_{\eta_1},f_{\eta_1}]= [825 , 905(72)]$; The two new medium gluonia with $M_{P_{1a}}=1338(112)$ MeV and $[M_{P_{1b}}=1462(117) $ MeV or their mean $[M_{P_1},f_{P_1}]=[1397(81),594(144)]$ MeV which support the gluonium nature of the candidate $\eta(1405)$ and may bring a small gluon piece to the $\eta(1295)$; Their 1st radial excitations: $M_{P'_{1a}}=1508(226)$ MeV and $M_{P'_{1b}}=1553(139)$ MeV with their mean: $[M_{P'_1},f_{P'_1}]=[1541(118),205(282)]$ MeV which may be identified (up to some eventual mixings with $\bar qq$ states) with the $\eta(1475,1700)$ states; The heavy gluonium with : $[M_{P_2}, f_{P_2}]=[2751(140),500(43)]$ MeV comparable with the lattice results. One can remark the (natural) one to one correspondence between the pseudoscalar gluonia and their chiral scalar analogue from Ref.1: $\sigma(1)\to \eta_1;~G_1(1.55)\to P_{1}; [\sigma'(1.1),G'(1.56)]\to P'_{1a,1b};~G_2(3)\to P_2$ which is mainly due to the importance of QCD PT in the sum rule analysis that are almost equal in these two channels. Results for the spectra are in Table 2.
