Theoretical study reveals an alternative interpretation of X(2370) resonance data, suggesting gluons share physical identity with gamma photons in strong interactions.
The BESIII Collaboration has captured the X(2370) resonance signal through long term high energy collision experiments. The intermediate state corresponding to this resonance has an extremely short lifetime, so experimental equipment cannot directly observe its entity, and can only detect final state particle products produced after the reaction, among which a large number of gamma photons are included. Mainstream high energy physics research, based on the theoretical framework of Quantum Chromodynamics, completes logical deduction in combination with experimental data, and identifies this resonance signal as a candidate state of the glueball. This theoretical system takes quarks as secondary components of nucleons and gluons as the transmission medium of strong interaction, and further deduces the glueball material structure formed by pure gluon aggregation. This paper respects all measured experimental data and does not deny deduction conclusions of existing theories. Based on the basic logic of Photon Origin Theory, it provides another set of internally consistent parallel reasoning ideas for the same set of experimental phenomena, proposes that the physical entity of gluons is identical to gamma photons, reexamines the physical essence corresponding to the concepts of quarks and gluons, and provides a new reference perspective for research on the underlying mechanism of high energy resonance states and strong interaction.
