RT Journal Article T1 Coulomb gauge approach to (qqg)over-bar hybrid mesons A1 Llanes Estrada, Felipe José A1 General, I. J. A1 Cotanch, S. R. AB An effective Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian, H-eff, is used to calculate the light ( u (u) over barg), strange ( s (s) over barg) and charmed (c (c) over barg) hybrid meson spectra. For the same two parameter H-eff providing glueball masses consistent with lattice results and a good description of the observed u, d, s and c quark mesons, a large-scale variational treatment predicts that the lightest hybrid has J(PC) = 0(++) and mass 2.1 GeV. The lightest exotic 1(-+) state is just above 2.2 GeV, near the upper limit of lattice and flux tube predictions. These theoretical formulations all indicate that the observed 1(-+) pi(1)(1600) and, more clearly, pi(1)(1400) are not hybrid states. The Coulomb gauge approach further predicts that in the strange and charmed sectors, respectively, the ground state hybrids have 1(+-) with masses 2.1 and 3.8 GeV, while the. rst exotic 1( +) states are at 2.4 and 4.0 GeV. Finally, using our hybrid wavefunctions and the Franck-Condon principle, a novel experimental signature is presented to assist heavy hybrid meson searches.
