The SU(3) analysis is considered a powerful tool in charmed baryon decays. Motivated by recent measurements of anti-triplet charmed baryon two-body decays from the Belle, Belle II, and BESIII Collaborations, we have finally determined the…
We consider flavor breaking in the the octet and decuplet baryon masses at second order in large-$N$ chiral perturbation theory, where $N$ is the number of QCD colors. We assume that $1/N \sim 1/N_F \sim m_s / \Lambda \gg m_{u,d}/\Lambda,…
The recent discovery, by the LHCb collaboration, of the $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ doubly charmed baryon, has renewed interest in the spectroscopy of doubly heavy hadrons. Experimentally, however, searches for such states appear highly challenging.…
We investigate heavy quark symmetries for heavy light meson-antimeson systems in a contact-range effective field theory. In the SU(3) light flavor limit, the leading order Lagrangian respecting heavy quark spin symmetry contains four…
Two-body charmed meson decays $D\to VP$ are studied within the framework of the diagrammatic approach. Under flavor SU(3) symmetry, all the flavor amplitude sizes and their associated strong phases are extracted by performing a $\chi^2$…
We present a new classification scheme of baryon ground states and resonances into SU(3) flavor multiplets. The scheme is worked out along a covariant formalism with relativistic constituent quark models and it relies on detailed…
We study charmed baryon resonances which are generated dynamically within a unitary meson-baryon coupled channel model that treats the heavy pseudoscalar and vector mesons on equal footing as required by heavy-quark symmetry. It is an…
We employ the chiral quark-soliton model and the heavy quark symmetry to describe spectra of charm and beauty baryons. Heavy baryons can be classified according to the SU(3) representations of the light sector. We argue that recently…
The decays of $B$ mesons to a charmless vector ($V$) and pseudoscalar ($P$) meson are analyzed within a framework of flavor SU(3) in which symmetry breaking is taken into account through ratios of decay constants in tree ($T$) amplitudes.…
The baryon mass operator is studied within a combined expansion in $1/N_c$ and perturbative $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry breaking, where $N_c$ denotes the number of quark charges. Flavor projection operators are used to classify the baryon…
Charmed and beauty hadrons in matter are discussed within a unitarized coupled-channel model consistent with heavy-quark spin symmetry. We analyse the formation of D-mesic states as well as the propagation of charmed and beauty hadrons in…
We identify ``spurious'' states in meson-baryon scattering, those that appear in QCD for N_c > 3 but decouple for N_c = 3. The key observation is that the relevant flavor SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients contain factors of 1 - 3/N_c. We…
We investigate the strong coupling constants for the baryon octet-octet, decuplet-octet, and decuplet-decuplet vertices with pseudoscalar mesons within a general framework of the chiral quark-soliton model, taking into account the effects…
Quarks of different flavors have different masses, which will cause breaking of flavor symmetries of QCD. Flavor symmetries and their breaking in hadron spectroscopy play important role for understanding the internal structures of hadrons.…
The approximate chiral invariance of the two-flavor QCD is known to be spontaneously broken. This effect explains the relatively small pion mass and, as is widely believed, the mass splittings of would-be chiral partners --- the hadrons of…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a signal for a new resonance in the $D_s^+ \pi^\pm$ invariant mass distribution in the decays $B\to \bar{D}^{(*)} D_s^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ (arXiv:2411.03399). This could be a direct observation of an…
We review heavy quark flavor and spin symmetries, their exploitation in heavy meson effective theories and the flavored couplings of charmed and light mesons in the definition of their effective Lagrangians. We point out how nonperturbative…
Using recently-developed diagrammatic techniques, I derive some general results concerning baryons in the $1/N$ expansion, where $N$ is the number of QCD colors. I show that the spin-flavor relations which hold for baryons in the large-$N$…
We construct an effective hadronic model including single heavy baryons (SHBs) belonging to the $(\mathbf{3},\mathbf{3})$ representation under $\mbox{SU}(3)_L \times \mbox{SU}(3)_R$ symmetry, respecting the chiral symmetry and heavy-qaurk…
The two body Cabibbo favored hadronic decays of charmed baryons $\Lambda^{+}_{c}$, $\Xi^{+}_{c}$ and $\Xi_{c}^{0}$ into an octet or decuplet baryon and a pseudoscalar meson are examined in the SU(3) symmetry scheme. The numerical estimates…
