A selected survey is presented of the recent progress in hadron spectroscopy. This includes spin-singlet charmonium states, excitations of charmonium and open-charm mesons, double-charm baryons, and pentaquark candidates. Models proposing…
Fluctuations of conserved charges allow to study the chemical composition of hadronic matter. A comparison between lattice simulations and the Hadron Resonance Gas (HRG) model suggested the existence of missing strange resonances. To…
A microcanonical treatment of Hagedorn systems, i.e. finite mass hadronic resonances with an exponential mass spectrum controlled by the Hagedorn temperature $T_H$, is performed. We show that, in the absence of any restrictions, a Hagedorn…
The evolution of a hadronic system after its chemical decomposition is described through a model that conserves the hadronic multiplicities to their values at chemical freeze-out. In the partition function describing the model all known…

The variational method is used widely for determining eigenstates of the QCD hamiltonian for actions with a conventional transfer matrix, e.g., actions with improved Wilson fermions. An alternative lattice fermion formalism, staggered…
The phenomena of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking are basic to understanding hadron observables. They can be explored using Dyson-Schwinger equations. The existence of a systematic, nonperturbative and symmetry preserving…
The virial expansion method is applied within a harmonic approximation to an interacting N-body system of identical fermions. We compute the canonical partition functions for two and three particles to get the two lowest orders in the…
We present a chiral constituent quark model for light and strange baryons providing a unified description of their ground states and excitation spectra. The model relies on constituent quarks and Goldstone bosons arising as effective…
We show that requiring the quark partition function to be color singlet of SU(3) color gauge group leads to reordering the thermodynamic potential in terms of the colorless multi-quark modes ($q{\bar q}, qqq, {\bar q}{\bar q}{\bar q}, ...$)…
In materials with strong electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions, charge carriers can distort the surrounding lattice and become trapped, forming self-localized (small) polarons. We recently developed an ab initio approach based on canonical…
The hadro-chemistry of bottom quarks ($b$) produced in hadronic collisions encodes valuable information on the mechanism of color-neutralization in these reactions. Since the $b$-quark mass is much larger than the typical hadronic scale of…
This is a note intended to complement our paper (nucl-th/0504010) and addressed to the attention of QGP workers interested in bag models, Hagedorn spectra, and the like. It tries to show that with a Hagedorn-like experimental spectrum the…
Experimental results on hadronic soft and hard diffractive processes are reviewed with emphasis on aspects of the data that point to the underlying QCD mechanism for diffraction. Diffractive differential cross sections are shown to be…
Different hadron transverse momentum spectra are calculated in a non-extensive statistical, quark-coalescence model. For the low-pT part a gluonic string contribution is conjectured, its length distribution and fractality are fitted to RHIC…
In this paper we discuss a quantity that can be derived from the hadronic spectrum - the ratio between the color hyperfine splitting of a K meson and that of a Sigma baryon. It will be shown that within the constituent quark model this…
A new approach to description of hadron spectroscopy is proposed. By assumption, the form of spectrum is dictated by the trace of energy momentum tensor in QCD. This provides the relativistic and renormalization invariance of hadron masses.…
The form factor and the mean-square radius of the pion are calculated analytically from a parametrized form of a $q\bar q$ wave function. The numerical wave function was obtained previously by solving numerically an eigenvalue equation for…
