It is pointed out that the previously suggested interpretation of the hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ as molecular bound states of $\Sigma_c \bar D$ and $\Sigma_c \bar D^*$ baryon-meson pairs gives rise to…
In this paper we evaluate strong decay amplitudes and partial widths of strange mesons (strangeonia and kaonia) in the 3P0 decay model. We give numerical results for all energetically allowed open-flavor two-body decay modes of all nsbar…
The decay $\eta \to 3 \pi$ proceeds exclusively through isospin violating operators and is therefore an excellent probe to examine the strength of isospin breaking in the strong interaction. The latter can be expressed through the quark…
An exotic meson, the $\pi_1(1400)$ with $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$, has been seen to decay into a p-wave $\eta\pi$ system. If this decay conserves flavor SU(3), then it can be shown that this exotic meson must be a four-quark state ($q\bar q+q\bar q$)…
Recently, the BESIII Collaboration reported a resonance $Y(2040)$ with $M=2034\pm13\pm9$ MeV and $\Gamma=234\pm30\pm25$ MeV in the process of $e^+e^-\rightarrow\omega\pi^0$. In addition, new measurements with much higher precision for the…
The spectroscopic parameters and partial decay widths of the light mesons $ a_0(980) $ and $K_{0}^{\ast}(800)$ are calculated by treating them as scalar diquark-antidiquark states. The masses and couplings of the mesons are found in the…
In this work, we preform a systematic study of the strong decays for the higher singly heavy baryon resonances $\Lambda_Q(3S)$, $\Lambda_Q(2P)$, $\Lambda_Q(2D)$, $\Lambda_Q(1F)$, $\Sigma_Q(3S)$, $\Sigma_Q(2P)$, $\Sigma_Q(2D)$, and…
Mesons with masses below their lowest OZI-allowed strong-decay thresholds have very small widths. Thus, it is usually believed that they can be safely treated as pure quark-antiquark bound states in spectroscopy models. However, unitarised…
Motivated by the polarization anomaly in the B->phi(1020)K*(892) decay, we extend our search for other K* final states in the decay B0->phi(1020)K^*0 with the K*0->K+pi- invariant mass above 1.6 GeV. The final states considered include the…
The decays of non-strange positive parity excited baryons via emission of a pseudo-scalar meson are studied in the framework of the 1/Nc expansion to order 1/Nc. In particular, the pionic decays of the l=0 Roper baryons and of the l=2…
In a sample of 7.8 million $J/\psi$ decays collected in the Beijing Spectrometer, the process J/$\psi\to\gamma\eta_c$ is observed for five different $\eta_c$ decay channels: $K^+K^-\pi^+\pi^-$, $\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$, $K^\pm K^0_S \pi^\mp$…
Assuming that the recently observed $\Theta^+$ and $\Xi^{--}$ are members of an anti-decuplet of SU(3), decays to ground state baryons and mesons are calculated using an effective Lagrangian which incorporates chiral and SU(3) symmetry. We…
Evidence for a narrow baryon state at 1528 +- 2.6(stat) +- 2.1(syst) MeV is presented in quasi-real photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel p,K0 to p,pi+,pi-. The statistical significance of the peak in the p,K0…
We study the decays of the $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ hybrid nonet using a Lagrangian invariant under the flavor symmetry, parity reversal, and charge conjugation. We use the available experimental data, the lattice predictions, and the flavor…
In this work we study the meson properties in the framework of an effective quark model. We start from the Bethe-Salpeter equation choosing the interaction kernel in nonlocal form with the Gaussian meson vertex function, characterized by a…
In this article, we assign the higher charmed mesons $D^*_1(2680)$, $D_3^*(2760)$ and $D_2^*(3000)$ to be the 2S $1^-$, 1D $3^-$ and 1F $2^+$ states, respectively, and study the two-body strong decays to the ground state charmed mesons and…
A nonrelativistic Hamiltonian with plausible spin dependent corrections is proposed for the quarkonia below their respective strong decay thresholds. With only six free parameters this model reproduces the nine known masses of the…
The decays of $J/\psi\to \eta\phi f_0(980) (\eta\to \gamma\gamma, \phi \to K^+K^-, f_0(980)\to\pi^+\pi^-)$ are analyzed using a sample of $5.8 \times 10^{7}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESII detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron…
The strong decays of the $D_{s1}(2710)$ and $D_{sJ}(2860)$ are investigated in the framework of the $^3P_0$ model. Its decay properties newly reported by the BaBar Collaboration can be reasonably accounted for in the presence of the…
In this work, we systematically study the mass spectra and strong decays of $1P$ and $2S$ charmed and charmed-strange baryons in the framework of nonrelativistic constituent quark models. With the light quark cluster-heavy quark picture,…
