We have investigated the $\Lambda_c^+\to n\pi^+\pi^0$ decay process using the chiral unitary approach, by considering that the nucleon resonance $N(1535)$ could be dynamically generated through $S$-wave pseudoscalar meson-octet baryon…
We study the semileptonic decay of $\Lambda_c$ to $\nu l^+$ and $\Lambda(1405)$, where the $\Lambda(1405)$ is seen in the invariant mass distribution of $\pi \Sigma$. We perform the hadronization of the quarks produced in the reaction in…

Non-mesonic decay of kaonic nuclei is investigated under a Lambda(1405) doorway picture where the Kbar absorptions in nuclei take place through the Lambda(1405) resonance. Calculating Lambda(1405) N to YN transitions in one-meson exchange,…

The nature of nucleon resonances is still being debated, while much experimental data are accumulated. In this work, we focus on the negative parity resonance $N^*(1895)$ which is located in the scattering region of various meson-baryon…
Recent studies of the $\Lambda(1520)$ resonance within chiral unitary theory with coupled channels find the resonance as a dynamically generated state from the interaction of the decuplet of baryons and the octet of mesons, essentially a…
We have recently completed the one loop calculation of meson-meson scattering within Chiral Perturbation Theory. Once unitarized, these amplitudes provide simultaneously a remarkable description of the resonance region up to 1.2 GeV as well…
Chiral perturbation theory and its unitarized versions have played an important role in our understanding of the low-energy strong interaction. Yet, so far, such studies typically deal exclusively with perturbative or nonperturbative…
We study the resonance energy of the strange dibaryons using two models with the energy-independent and energy-dependent potentials for the s-wave barKN interaction, both of which are derived by certain reductions from the leading order…
We discuss the formation of s- and d-wave baryon resonances as predicted by the chiral SU(3) symmetry of QCD. Based on the leading order term of the chiral Lagrangian a rich spectrum of molecules is generated, owing to final-state…
We construct pi-pi amplitudes that fulfill exact elastic unitarity, account for one loop Chiral Perturbation Theory contributions and include all 1/Nc leading terms, with the only limitation of considering just the lowest-lying nonet of…
The extension of chiral theories to the description of resonances, via the incorporation of unitarity in coupled channels, has provided us with a new theoretical perspective on the nature of some of the observed excited hadrons. In this…
