The BES collaboration has recently observed a strong enhancement close to the proton-antiproton threshold in the J/Psi decays into photon, proton and antiproton. Such a structure can be explained by a traditional nucleon-antinucleon model.…
The baryonic decays of $J/ \psi$ provide a new way to study the internal structure of baryons. A simple diquark model applied to the calculation of the $\bar{B}B$ decay cross-sections is compared with the ordinary constituent quark model.…
We investigate the inclusive weak decay $\Xi_{bcq} \to \Xi_{ccq} + X$ ($q=u,d,s$) within the framework of the non-relativistic potential quark model. Treating the heavy diquarks $\Phi_{bc}$ and $\Phi_{cc}$ as compact color anti-triplet…
It is pointed out that the internal structure of the narrow resonance X(3872) at the D^0 {\bar D}^{*0} threshold can be studied in some detail by measuring the rate and the spectra in the decays X(3872) \to D^0 {\bar D}^0 \pi^0 and X(3872)…
We investigate near threshold neutral pion photoproduction off protons to fourth order in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory in the light of the new data from MAMI. We show that the unitarity cusp at the secondary \pi^+ n threshold is…
Goldstone boson decays of P-wave $D_s^{**}$ mesons are studied within the framework of Heavy Hadron Chiral Perturbation Theory. We first analyze the simplest single kaon decays of these strange charmed mesons. We derive a model independent…
We have studied isospin breaking effects in the X(3872) resonance and found a natural explanation for the branching fraction of the X decaying to $J/\psi$ with two and three pions being close to unit. Within our framework the X(3872) is a…
The claim that Kuwahara et al. [1] have reported the observation of a Hanbury Brown-Twiss electron antibunching dip (their Fig. 3) could possibly be explained as an electron source emission rate dependency on the light polarization. Strain…
We introduce a new method for the determination of the ratio of production fractions $R^{\pm0}=\mathcal B(\Upsilon(4S)\to B^+B^-)/\mathcal B(\Upsilon(4S)\to B^0\bar B^0)$ based on $\bar B\to D^{(*)}\ell\bar \nu$ decays. Given the importance…
Considering the situation that a single chiral partilce, $\eta$, is initially emitted, we study the hidden-charm di-eta decays of charmoniumlike state $Y(4660)$ and the predicted charmonium $\psi(4790)$, i.e., $Y(4660)/\psi(4790) \to…
We study the relation between the $\psi(4160)$ and the $Y(4260)$ within an unitarized effective Lagrangian approach. The $Y(4260)$ arises as a manifestation of the $\psi(4160)$, when a loop-driven decay of the type $\psi(4160)\to…
Whether the much studied X(3872) is an axial or tensor resonance makes an important difference to its interpretation. A recent paper by the BaBar collaboration raised the viable hypothesis that it might be a 2-+ state based on the 3 pions…
The $J/\psi$ meson has negative $G$-parity so that, in the limit of isospin conservation, its decay into $\pi^+\pi^-$ should be purely electromagnetic. However, the measured branching fraction $\mathcal{B}(J/\psi\to\pi^+\pi^-)$ exceeds by…
Inspired by the newly $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ reported by the BESIII Collaboration in the $K^+$ recoil-mass spectrum of the of $e^+e^-\to (D^{*0}D_s^-/D^0D_s^{*-})K^+$ processes, we perform a dynamical study on the $D^{(*)0}D_s^{*-}$ interactions…
Based on measurements the branching ratios for the decay of the recently discovered dibaryon resonance $d^*(2380)$ into two-pion production channels and into the $np$ channel are evaluated. Possibilities for a decay into the isoscalar…
We investigate the role of the electromagnetic interaction in the formation and decay of the $X(3872)$. The binding properties of the $X(3872)$ are studied by assuming the molecular nature and considering the $S$-$D$ wave mixing, isospin…
We study $\omega\to\pi^+\pi^-$ decay up to including all orders of the chiral expansion and one-loop level of mesons in formlism of chiral constituent quark model. This G-parity forbidden decay is caused by $m_u\neq m_d$ and electromagnetic…
Ratios of isospin amplitudes in hadron decays are a useful probe of the interplay between weak and strong interactions, and allow searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. We present the first results on isospin amplitudes in…
We report preliminary results from a study of the decay B0 --> D0bar pi+ pi- using a data sample of 470.9 +/- 2.8 million BBbar events collected with the BaBar detector at the Y(4S) resonance. Using the Dalitz-plot analysis technique, we…
A possible interpretation of the near-threshold enhancement in the $(p\bar{p})$-mass spectrum in $J/\psi{\to}\gamma p{\bar p}$ is the of existence of a narrow baryonium resonance X(1860). Mesonic decays of the $(p\bar{p})$-bound state…
