Bound muons (also pions, kaons, etc) increase the fission barrier and produce some stabilizing effects for highly charged nuclei. If the binding energy of the muon exceeds $mc^2$, it becomes stable. The $1s$ state of a muon inside an exotic…

We consider a possibility of capture of a heavy charged massive particle $\chi^-$ by the nucleus leading to appearance of a bound state. A simple analytic formula allowing to calculate binding energies of the $N\chi^-$ bound state for…

Two iso-singlet hadron states $X_0(2900)$ and $X_1(2900)$ with $J=0$ and 1 respectively, discovered by the LHCb collaboration in 2020, were identified as molecular bound states of $\bar D^*K^*$. Recently two structures $T^a_{cs0}(2900)^0$…

Using a coupled channel unitary approach, combining the heavy quark spin symmetry and the dynamics of the local hidden gauge, we investigate the meson-baryon interaction with hidden beauty and obtain several new states of $N^*$ around 11…

The LHCb Collaboration has reported resonant activity in the channel $D^+ K^-$, identifying two components: $X_0(2900)$ with $J^P = 0^+$ at $2866 {\pm} 7$ MeV, $\Gamma_0=57{\pm} 13$ MeV and $X_1(2900)$ with $J^P = 1^-$ at $2904 {\pm} 7$…

We investigate theoretically whether it is feasible to detect $\eta$- and $\omega$-nucleus bound states. As well as the closed shell nuclei, $^{16}$O, $^{40}$Ca, $^{90}$Zr and $^{208}$Pb, we also investigate $^6$He, $^{11}$B and $^{26}$Mg,…

$\Upsilon$ and $\eta_b$ nuclear bound state energies are calculated for various nuclei neglecting any possible effects of the widths. Essential input for the calculations, namely the medium-modified $B$ and $B^{*}$ meson masses, as well as…

Following the prediction by Akaishi and Yamazaki of relatively narrow $\bar K$-nuclear states, deeply bound by over 100 MeV where the main decay channel $\bar K N \to \pi \Sigma$ is closed, several experimental signals in stopped $K^-$…

The exciting discovery by LHCb of the $P_c(4312)^+$ and $P_c(4450)^+$ pentaquarks, or the suggestion of a tetraquark nature for the $Z_c(3900)$ state seen at BESIII and Belle, have triggered a lot of activity in the field of hadron physics,…

A phenomenological estimate is derived such that the binding energies of dimesons are expressed as combinations of masses of different mesons and baryons. The estimate is almost model-independent, the only major assumptions being that the…

The present status in the field of strange mesons in nuclei and neutron stars is reviewed. In particular, the $\bar K N$ interaction, that is governed by the presence of the $\Lambda(1405)$, is analyzed and the formation of the $\bar K NN$…

Properties of dense quark matter in and out of chemical equilibrium are studied within the SU(3) Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. In addition to the 4-fermion scalar and vector terms the model includes also the 6-fermion flavour mixing…

This dissertation investigates exotic hadrons with heavy-quark content that may be understood as being generated dynamically from the hadron-hadron interaction. This interaction is derived from a suitable effective Lagrangian and properly…

We discuss the mass modifications of $\bar{\mathrm{D}}$ and $\bar{\mathrm{D}}^{\ast}$ ($\mathrm{B}$ and $\mathrm{B}^{\ast}$) mesons in nuclear medium. The heavy quark symmetry for $\bar{\mathrm{D}}$ and $\bar{\mathrm{D}}^{\ast}$…

We use $n_f=2+1$ Wilson-clover gauge-field ensembles from the CLS consortium in a Lattice NRQCD setup to predict the binding energy of a $I(J^P)=0(1^+)$ $ud\bar{b}\bar{b}$ tetraquark and a $\frac{1}{2}(1^+)$ $\ell s\bar{b}\bar{b}$…

We identify the quantum numbers of baryon exotics in the Quark Model, the Skyrme Model and QCD, and show that they agree for arbitrary colors and flavors. We define exoticness, E, which can be used to classify the states. The exotic baryons…

The $DK$ interaction is strong enough to form a bound state, the $D_{s0}^*(2317)$. This in turn begs the question of whether there are bound states composed of several charmed mesons and a kaon. Previous calculations indicate that the…

Inspired by the recent observation of a very narrow state, called $T_{cc}^+$, by the LHCb collaboration, the possible bound states and low-lying resonance states of the doubly heavy tetraquark states $cc\bar{u}\bar{d}$ ($T_{cc}$) and…
