We identify a "$\Lambda$ selection rule" for $N^*$ resonances in the presence of QCD mixing effects. We quantify these mixing effects from existing data and predict amplitudes for exciting {\bf 20} representations in SU(6), which are…

The spectrum of $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ excitations is reviewed taking into account (nearly) all hyperon resonances which were seen in early analyses or in one of the recent partial-wave analyses. The spectrum is compared with the old…

The constituent quark model can explain the strong selectivity of the $N\eta$ decay branching ratios of the nucleon resonances if the fine structure interaction between the constituent quarks is described in terms of Goldstone boson…

We study nonrenormalizable coupling terms in $Z_N$ orbifold models. Nontrivial selection rules of couplings are provided and cannot be understood in terms of a simple symmetry of effective field theories. We also discuss phenomenological…

The QCD sum rule approach is employed in order to study chiral properties of positive- and negative-parity nucleon resonances. It is pointed out that nucleons with an ``exotic'' chiral property, which can be represented by local five-quark…

We have studied the mass spectra of doubly charmed pentaquark states in the $\Lambda _{c}^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ and $\Sigma _{c}^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ channels with $J^P=1/2^\pm$, $3/2^\pm$ and $5/2^\pm$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. We use the…

In the framework of a macroscopic $\alpha$-cluster model, the structural properties and the spectroscopy of the $^{24}\mathrm{Mg}$ nucleus are investigated. Special attention is devoted to the electromagnetic selection rules imposed by the…

We employ a nonrelativistic version of QCD (NRQCD) to study heavy quark-antiquark bound states in the lowest approximation without fine structure. We use gluon configurations on a 16^3 by 48 lattice at beta=6.2 from the UKQCD collaboration.…

We extend the recently developed treatment of baryon resonances in large N_c QCD to describe resonance multiplets collected according to the SU(3) flavor symmetry that includes strange quarks. As an illustration we enumerate the SU(3)…

We review our results in Refs.[1,2] for the masses and couplings of heavy-light DD(BB)-like molecules and (Qq)(Qq)-like four-quark states from relativistic QCD Laplace sum rules (LSR) where next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LO) PT…

$S$-wave bound-states composed of a nucleon($N$) and a heavy meson ($D$, $D^*$, $\bar{B}$ or $\bar{B}^*$) are investigated in both the chiral SU(3) quark model and the extended chiral SU(3) quark model by solving the resonating group method…

We extend the density-of-states approach to gauge systems (LLR method) to QCD at finite temperature and density with heavy quarks. The approach features an exponential error suppression and yields the Polyakov loop probability distribution…

These lecture notes focus on the bound state sector of QCD. Motivated by data which suggests that the strong coupling \alpha_s(Q) freezes at low Q, and by similarities between the spectra of hadrons and atoms, I discuss if and how QCD bound…

In this talk, we give a brief review of our work studying the possibility of $\Sigma_{c}(2800)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)^{+}$ as $S$-wave $D^{(*)}N$ molecular states from QCD sum rules.

The nonlocal version of the SU(2)xSU(2) symmetric four-quark interaction of the NJL type is considered. Each of the quark lines contains the form factors. These form factors remove the ultraviolet divergences in quark loops. The additional…

We investigate the pentaquark system $qqqs \bar q$ in a framework of chiral quark model. Two structures, $(qqq)(s\bar{q})$ and $(qqs)(q\bar{q})$, with all possible color, spin, flavor configurations are considered. The calculations show…

The bosonisation technique is used to calculate the resonant Raman spectrum of a quantum wire with two electronic sub-bands occupied. Close to resonance, the cross section at frequencies in the region of the inter sub-band transitions shows…

Higher order quark effective interactions are found for SU(2) flavor by departing from a non local quark-quark interaction. By integrating out a component of the quark field, the determinant is expanded in chirally symmetric and symmetry…

ND and ND^* interactions become a hot topic after the observation of new charmed hadrons \Sigma_c(2800) and \Lambda_c(2940)^+. In this letter, we have preliminary investigated S-wave ND and ND^* interactions with possible quantum numbers in…

The consistency of effective models with QCD is investigated through the use of the QCD sum rule. Taking the potential model for the heavy quark system, we apply the method to two phenomenologically successful parameter sets, and obtain the…
