    We study the mass spectrum of the q3qˉ3\rm{q}^3\bar{\rm{q}}^3 mesons both from the quark model with triquark correlations and from common quark model with colormagnetic interactions and with relative S-waves between quarks. Two cluster configurations (q3)(qˉ3)(\rm{q}^3)-(\bar{\rm{q}}^3) and (q2qˉ)(qqˉ2)(\rm{q}^2\bar{\rm{q}})-(\rm{q}\bar{\rm{q}}^2) are considered. In the spectrum we find rather stable states which have the same quantum number with particle resonances which are corresponding to the ppˉp\bar{p} enhancement, pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda} enhancement and ΛΛˉ\Lambda\bar{\Lambda} enhancement with spin-0\mathbf{0} or 1\mathbf{1}. This imply these enhancements are NOT experimental artifacts. The color-spin-flavor structures of ppˉp\bar{p}, pΛˉp\bar{\Lambda}, and ΛΛˉ\Lambda\bar{\Lambda} enhancements are revealed. The existence of spin-1\mathbf{1} ΛΛˉ,pΛˉ,ppˉ\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}, p\bar{\Lambda}, p\bar{p} enhancements is predicted.Comment: 45 pages, 5 figure

    Lattice study on ηc2\eta_{c2} and X(3872)

    Full text link
    Properties of 2+2^{-+} charmonium ηc2\eta_{c2} are investigated in quenched lattice QCD. The mass of ηc2\eta_{c2} is determined to be 3.80(3) GeV, which is close to the mass of DD-wave charmonium ψ(3770)\psi(3770) and in agreement with quark model predictions. The transition width of ηc2γJ/ψ\eta_{c2}\to \gamma J/\psi is also obtained with a value Γ=3.8(9)\Gamma=3.8(9) keV. Since the possible 2+2^{-+} assignment to X(3872) has not been ruled out by experiments, our results help to clarify the nature of X(3872).Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures. typos, grammatical errors and some references corrected, redundant discussions deleted, conclusion does not change. published versio

    Size-dependent calcium carbonate precipitation induced microbiologically in aerobic granules

    Calcium and ash accumulation in aerobic granules treating organic wastewater was investigated systematically in this study. It was found that ash content of granular sludge reached 43% at stable state of reactor operation with calcium carbonate precipitation as the main cause. Since granular sludge in the reactor at the steady state was the mixture of granules with different sizes, granules in the reactor on operation days 90, 120 and 150, respectively, were sorted into 10 categories by size to study the inorganic substances. It was found that calcium was selectively enriched in granules and the precipitation of calcium carbonate was just dependent on granule size instead of operation duration at the steady state. More calcium carbonate was precipitated in bigger aerobic granules, but both calcium and ash contents reached stable values when granule size was bigger than 700 ?m. Analysis by X-ray diffractometer disclosed that aragonite was the only polymorph of calcium carbonate detected in aerobic granules with size bigger than 300 ?m. Scanning electron microscope revealed clearly for the first time that bundles of needle shaped aragonite was embedded in extracellular polymeric substances of aerobic granules. A mechanism on calcium carbonate precipitation was proposed to deepen the understanding of biomineralization
