The Faddeev AGS equations are solved for coupled-channels $\bar{K}NN-\pi\Sigma{N}$ system with quantum numbers $I=1/2$ and $S=0$. Using separable potentials for $\bar{K}N-\pi\Sigma$ interaction, we have calculated the transition probability…
We study meson-baryon scattering with strangeness -1 in unitary chiral perturbation theory. Ten coupled channels are considered in our work, namely $\pi^0 \Lambda$, $\pi^0 \Sigma^0$, $\pi^- \Sigma^+$, $\pi^+ \Sigma^-$, $K^- p$, $\bar{K}^0…
We employ the chiral nucleon-nucleon potential derived in ref.[1] to study bound and scattering states in the two-nucleon system. At next-to-leading order, this potential is the sum of renormalized one-pion and two-pion exchange and contact…
We propose a novel approach to describe the $D^+\to K^+K^-K^+$ decay amplitude, based on chiral effective Lagrangians, which can be used to extract information about $K\bar{K}$ scattering. Our trial function is an alternative to the widely…
We predict a new three-body hadronic molecule composed of antikaon $\bar{K}$, anticharm meson $\bar{D}$, and nucleon $N$ with spin/parity $J^{P} = 1/2^{+}$ and isospin $I = 1/2$. This state behaves like an explicit pentaquark state because…
We show that it is necessary to go beyond a single hadron (beyond the quark-antiquark or three-quark systems) in order to distinguish the colour structure of the effective quark-quark interaction and the relevance of 3-body forces. We…
The total cross section of the reaction pp->ppK+K- has been measured at excess energies Q=10 MeV and 28 MeV with the magnetic spectrometer COSY-11. The new data show a significant enhancement of the total cross section compared to pure…
A preliminary investigation of the anti-K N interaction is performed within a chiral constituent quark model by solving the resonating group method (RGM) equation. The model parameters are taken from our previous work, which gave a…
The strong interaction between an antikaon and a nucleon is at the origin of various interesting phenomena in kaon-nuclear systems. In particular, the interaction in the isospin $I=0$ channel is sufficiently attractive to generate a…
The $K^-$ optical potential in the nuclear medium is evaluated self consistently from a free-space $K^-N$ $t$ matrix constructed within a coupled-channel chiral approach to the low-energy $\bar K N$ data. The chiral-model parameters are…
We analyse the properties of the kaonic nuclear cluster (KNC) anti-KNN with the structure Nx(anti-KN)_(I = 0), having the quantum numbers I(J^P) = 1/2(0^-), and treated as a quasi-bound hadronic molecule state. We describe the properties of…
We discuss the implications of a possible quasinuclear DK bound state at 2.32 GeV. Evidence for such a state was recently reported in D_s^+pi^o by the BaBar Collaboration. We first note that a conventional quark model c-sbar assignment is…
We analyse the quark mass dependence of the binding energy of the H-dibaryon in the framework of chiral effective field theory. We show that the SU(3) breaking effects induced by the differences of the pertinent two-baryon thresholds…
A chiral quark-model approach is extended to the study of the $\bar{K}N$ scattering at low energies. The process of $K^-p\to \Sigma^0\pi^0$ at $P_K\lesssim 800$ MeV/c (i.e. the center mass energy $W\lesssim 1.7$ GeV) is investigated. This…
We report our recent work on a hadronic molecule state of the KbarKN system with I=1/2 and J^P=1/2^+. We assume that the Lambda(1405) resonance and the scalar mesons, f_{0}(980), a_{0}(980), are reproduced as quasi-bound states of KbarN and…
After a short survey of some topics of interest in the study of baryon-baryon scattering, the recent Nijmegen energy dependent partial wave analysis (PWA) of the nucleon-nucleon data is reviewed. In this PWA the energy range for both pp and…
A local coupled-channels Kbar N-pi Sigma-pi Lambda potential is constructed, equivalently reproducing the scattering amplitude in chiral SU(3) dynamics. By analyzing the wave function of the Lambda(1405), we show the Kbar N dominance of the…
recently proposed strictly phenomenological static quark-antiquark potential belonging to the generality $V(r)=-Ar^{-\alpha}+\kappa r^{\beta}+V_{0}$ is tested with heavy quarkonia in the context of the shifted large N-expansion method. This…
In this work we systematically study both the mass spectra and strong decays of the nucleon and $\Delta$ resonances up to the $N=2$ shell within a unified quark model framework with chiral dynamics. In this framework we achieve a good…
We present the results of a five-dimensional resonant amplitude analysis of the $\Lambda_c^+{\to}pK^{-}\pi^{+}$ system based on $946\pm 38$ reconstructed decays. These data were produced in 500 GeV/$c$ $\pi^-$-N interactions by Fermilab…
