Sum rules relating the masses of ground-state baryons and mesons are obtained in a constituent quark model. The interaction is assumed to be independent of quark spins except for a spin-dependent part that can be treated as a perturbation.…

In the framework of the instantaneous Bethe Salpeter equation we investigate weak decays of B and D mesons. Mesons are described as q-bar q states interacting via a mixture of a scalar and a vector confining kernel and a one gluon exchange.…
In this work we calculate the mass spectrum of charmonium for $1P,...,3P$ states of $0^{++}$ , $1^{++}$, as well as for $1S,...,4S$ states of $0^{-+}$, and $1S, ...,5D$ states of $1^{--}$ along with the two-photon decay widths of ground and…
Preliminary calculations using the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) employed a scalar linear confining interaction and an additional constant vector potential to compute the mesonic mass spectra. In this work we generalize the confining…

In the heavy quark limit, a doubly heavy baryon is regarded as composed of a heavy diquark and a light quark. We establish the Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations for the heavy diquarks and the doubly heavy baryons, respectively, to leading order…
The compact tetraquark states with fully heavy quark contents $QQ\bar Q\bar Q$ are studied as the bound states of the diquark-antidiquark within the Bethe-Salpeter framework. The (anti)diquark masses and form factors used are the same as we…
We interpret the $X_1(2900)$ as an $S$-wave $\bar{D}_1K$ molecular state in the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach with the ladder and instantaneous approximations for the kernel. By solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation numerically with the…
We solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) for a system of a heavy quark-antiquark pair interacting with a Poincare invariant generalization of screened linear confining potential. In order to get reliable description the Lorentz scalar…
Studying the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for interactions instantaneous in the rest frame of the bound states described, we show that, for bound-state constituents of arbitrary masses, the mass of the ground state of a given spin may be…
In a covariant Bethe-Salpeter-equation approach and with a rainbow-ladder truncated model of QCD, we investigate the use of an effective interaction with the goal of reproducing QCD phenomenology. We extend previous studies and present…
In this work, the $\Omega_c$-like molecular states are systematically investigated in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The relevant interactions $\Xi_c^{(*,')}\bar{K}^{(*)}$, $\Xi^{(*)}D^{(*)}$, and…
We extend the range of application of the relativistic Dyson-Schwinger/Bethe-Salpeter approach from previously discussed mesons with total angular momentum $J \le 3$ to the ones with $J=4,5$. On a technical level, the new element is the…
A symmetry-preserving treatment of mesons, within a Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations approach, demands an interconnection between the kernels of the quark gap equation and meson Bethe-Salpeter equation. Appealing to those…
In this article, we study the structures of the pseudoscalar mesons $\pi$, $K$ and the scalar diquarks $U^a$, $D^a$, $S^a$ in the framework of the coupled rainbow Schwinger-Dyson equation and ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation with the…
The effect of quark-gluon vertex dressing on the ground state masses of the u/d-quark pseudoscalar, vector and axialvector mesons is considered with the Dyson-Schwinger equations. This extends the ladder-rainbow Bethe-Salpeter kernel to…
We give a review of recent progress on the application of the relativistic chiral SU(3) Lagrangian to meson-baryon scattering. It is shown that a combined chiral and 1/N_c expansion of the Bethe-Salpeter interaction kernel leads to a good…
The problem of scalar mesons still remains a challenging puzzle, for which we do not even know which are the right pieces to set up. The proliferation of resonances (some of them are very broad and appear on top of hadronic thresholds) and…
