Regge trajectory relation for the universal description of the heavy-heavy systems: Diquarks, mesons, baryons and tetraquarks

Abstract

By employing the nonlinear Regge trajectory relation $M=m_R+{\beta }_x{(x+c_{0x})}^{2/3}(x=l,n_r)$, we investigate the heavy-heavy systems, such as the doubly heavy diquarks, the doubly heavy mesons, the heavy-heavy baryons, and the heavy-heavy tetraquarks. The fitted Regge trajectories illustrate that these heavy-heavy systems satisfy the above formula and show the existence of an universal description of the heavy-heavy systems. The universality embodies not only the universal behavior $M\sim x^{2/3}$ but also the universal parameters. The values of $c_{f{n}_r}$ and $c_{fl}$ vary with different heavy-heavy systems, but they are close to one. There is an inequality ${\beta }_{n_r}>{\beta }_l$, and it holds for all the discussed heavy-heavy systems. Moreover, the expression of ${\beta }_x$ [Eq. (11)] explains its variation with the change of the constituents' masses.
