王博士在物理分析和硬件方面都做了重要工作。其中,物理分析方面,发现的Y(4660)新粒子是第一个由中国科学家发现,并且被PDG收录的粒子。硬件工作方面,在弗吉尼亚理工大学四年期间,负责了KLM的绝大部分硬件工作,是主要负责人之一;在KEK工作期间,推动完成时间刻度Time-Base-Correction的30皮秒时间分辨,现在是这一刻度工作的负责人。王博士获得了2010年中科院院长奖以及2014年北京市科学技术奖二等奖。
王博士目前正在复旦大学全面开展Belle II实验,包括物理分析与硬件工作等各个方面。“What is the structure of a hadron?” is a key question of Parti- cle Physics. The well known Quark Model had been working well for tens year, even the Quantum chromodynamics allows much more types of hadrons. In searching for the excited quarkonium states about the open-charm (DD̄) or open-bottom (BB̄) threshold via hadronic transi- tions by Belle, BaBar and BESIII, dozens of new structures have been observed. This number is well above the prediction of Quark Model, while the nature of most of the states are still undercover and they are called ‘exotic states’.
Emittingπ+π−orηare the first two channels in the hadronic tran- sitions of quarkonium states, therefore, couples of exotic states were discovered in these hadronic transitions, such asY(4260),Y(4360),Z(3900),Z(4430) andZb(10610/10650). This talk will review the ex- otic states observed in the systems of a quarkonium and a pair ofπ+π−, a chargedπ±, or anη. The similar properties ofπ+π−/π±/ηfrom the transitions of the exotic states are helpful to figure out the nature of the exotic states.
