Abstract:
Rescattering effects of baryon and antibaryon in heavy quarkonium decays are investigated by studying their angular distributions. The rescattering amplitudes are phenomenologically evaluated by modeling the intermediate range interaction as a σ\sigma or pion meson exchange between qqˉq\bar{q} quarks. The results show that the rescattering effects play an important role in determination of the angular distribution in heavy quarkonium decays. Especially, for J/psiJ/psi and ψ\psi' decays into ΛΛˉ\Lambda \bar \Lambda, Σ0Σˉ0\Sigma^0\bar \Sigma^0 and ΞΞˉ+\Xi^-\bar \Xi^+ the angular distribution parameters could turn to be negative values in the limit of helicity conservation. These results provide us a possible explanation for understanding the negative sign of the angular distribution parameter measured for J/psiΣ0Σˉ0J/psi \to\Sigma^0\bar\Sigma^0, namely, {\it it might come from the baryonic SU(3)F_F symmetry breaking by incorporating rescattering effects
