Most particles listed in the Particle Data Group tables (PDG) are
unstable
Huge majority of particles listed in the PDG are
hadronic resonances
A thorough understanding of the physics summarized by the PDG is related to the concept of
resonance

The Particle Data Group
Many motions in the world are manifested as vibrations
Resonance is a widely known phenomenon in Nature and our life
Resonance is alignment of the vibrations of one object with those of another
Resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate at a greater amplitude at some frequencies — the system's resonant frequencies
Resonance is the excitation of a system by matching the frequency of an applied force to a characteristic frequency of the system
Resonance is always exist wherever there is periodic motion
Music is an example of harmony and resonanceМузыка – пример гармонии и резонанса

Vibrations, waves and resonances
In QM and QFT resonances may appear in similar circumstances to classical physics
Our problem is to solve this equation:
This gives the complex function
and a bell-shaped curve:
For the resonate frequencies
maximum energy transfer is possible

Mechanical models
This equation
describes a bell-shaped curve known as the Cauchy (mathematics), Lorentz (statistical physics) or Fock-Breit-Wigner (nuclear and particle physics) distribution.
The figure below shows the behavior of the curve ω for di erent values ffof the damping constant (spectral width) γ.

Mechanical models
• In quantum mechanics the complex energies were studied for the first time in a paper by Gamow concerning the alpha decay (1928) [1].
• Gamow studied the escape of alpha particles from the nucleus via the tunnel e ectff .
• To describe eigenfunctions with exponentially decaying time evolution…
• Gamow introduced energy eigenfunctions ψG belonging to complex eigenvalues
• Such ‘decaying states’ were the first application of quantum theory to nuclear physics.

Quantum Tunneling and Resonances
• It was in 1939 that Siegert introduced the concept of a purely outgoing wave belonging to the complex eigenvalue and satisfying purely outgoing conditions are known as Gamow-Siegert functions ΨG [2,3].
• Solutions of the Schrodinger equation associated to the complex energy
• The complex energy is an appropriate tool in the studying of resonances. • A resonance is supposed to take place at E and to have “half–value breath” Г/2 [2]. • The imaginary part Г was associated with the inverse of the lifetime Г = 1/τ. • Such ‘decaying states’ were the first application of quantum theory to nuclear physics.
• Resonances in QFT are described by the complex-mass poles of the scattering matrix [2].
• Resonance is present as transient oscillations associated with metastable states of a system which has sufficient energy to break up into two or more subsystems.
• The masses of intermediate particles develop imaginary masses from loop corrections.

Quasi–stationary states
We are living in the Complex SpaceIt depends on point of view
Понимание вещей зависит от точки зрения
We can observe only the Real Componentof the Complex World
Real Number >>> Complex Plane >>> Complex Space We know what is the complex plane and complex function
But…What is the complex 3D, 4D, … spaces?
• In particle physics resonances arise as unstable intermediate states with complex masses. • The advantage of nalyzing a system in the complex plane has importantfeatures such as a simpler and more general framework. • Complex numbers allow to get more than what we insert. • The complex-mass scheme provides a consistent framework for dealing with unstable particles and has been successfully applied to various loop calculations.

The Complex World Around and in Us
The Cornell potential***** is a special in hadron physics *****
• It is fixed in an extremely simple manner in terms of very small number of parameters
• In pQCD, as in QED the essential interaction at small distances is one-gluon exchange
• In QCD, it is qq, qg, or gg Coulomb scattering
VS(r) = - α / r
• For large distances, to describe confinement, the potential has to rise to infinity
• From lattice-gauge-theory computations follows that this rise is an approximately linear
VL(r) ~ σ r, σ ≈ 0.15 GeV2 - the string tension
• These two contributions by simple summation lead to the Cornell potential

Fundamental colour interaction
• It is hard to find the exact analytic solution for the Cornell potential.
• But one can find exact solutions for two asymptotic limits of the potential, i.e. for the Coulomb and linear potentials, separately.
