This reports our recent studies on changes in properties of heavy hadrons containing at least a charm or a bottom quark in nuclear matter, and that the results for the $\Lambda^+_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ hypernuclei are studied quantitatively.…
We study $\Lambda_c^\pm$ production in $pN$ and $\pi^-N$ interactions. Recent experimental data from the SELEX and E791 Collaborations at FNAL provide important information on the production mechanism of charm hadrons. In particular, the…
Interactions of charmed and strange mesons with baryonic matter can be calculated in the nonrelativistic quark potential model. For KN scattering data exists, and the theoretical results for S-waves are in approximate agreement with…
We analyze two recent reactions of Belle, producing $D\bar D$ and $D\bar D^*$ states that have an enhancement of the invariant $D\bar D$, $D\bar D^*$ mass distribution close to threshold, from the point of view that they might be indicative…
Chiral thermodynamics of charmed mesons is formulated at finite temperature within a $2+1+1$-flavored effective Lagrangian incorporating heavy quark symmetry. The charmed-meson mean fields act as an extra source which breaks the chiral…
We modify the mesonic wavefunction by using a short distance scale r0 in analogy with Hydrogen atom and estimate the values of masses and decay constants of the open flavour charm mesons D, Ds and Bc within the framework of a QCD Potential…
We evaluate the in-medium $D$ and $\bar D$-meson masses in hot hadronic matter induced by interactions with the light hadron sector described in a chiral SU(3) model. The effective Lagrangian approach is generalized to SU(4) to include…
Predictions of two channels in the three-bod decays of the charmed mesons are made within the heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory. There still exists the problem that the theoretical expectation is too small compared to the experimental…
Employing QCD sum rules the in-medium modifications of scalar charm mesons in a cold nuclear matter environment are estimated. The mass splitting of D*-D*-bar is quantified.
The observation of the D_{sJ}^*(2317), D_{sJ}(2460), and SELEX D^*_{sJ}(2632) states with properties differing considerably from what was expected has led to a renewed interest in hadron spectroscopy. In addition to these states,…
The mass spectra of singly charmed and bottom baryons, $\Lambda_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$ and $\Xi_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$, are investigated using a nonrelativistic potential model with a heavy quark and a light diquark. The masses of the scalar…
The narrow $D_{s0}^{\ast}$(2317) and broad $D_0^{\ast}$(2300-2400) charmed scalar mesons and their radial excitations are described in a coupled-channel quark model that also reproduces the properties of the light scalar nonet. All…
We discuss recent achievements in light scalar mesons spectroscopy through amplitude analysis of charm particle decay and its consequences. The high statistics clean samples of charmed mesons, in addition to it's definite J^P and mass, is…
We show that the D^- meson will form narrow bound states with ^{208}Pb. Mean field potentials for the D^0, D^0-bar and D^- in ^{208}Pb are calculated self-consistently using the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model in local density…
We review recent developments in charm physics, focusing on the physics of charmed mesons. We discuss charm spectroscopy, decay constants, as well as searches for new physics with charmed mesons. We discuss D0-anti-D0 mixing and…
Hadron masses are calculated in quenched lattice QCD with a fermion action of the D234 type on an anisotropic lattice. Hyperfine splittings for singly charmed baryons are found to be in agreement with expectations from the quark model and…
Identifying a zero-range exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, a rich spectrum of molecules is formed. We argue that chiral symmetry and large-$N_c$…
There has been important experimental progress in the sector of heavy baryons in the past several years. We study the strong decays of the S-wave, P-wave, D-wave and radially excited charmed baryons using the $^3P_0$ model. After comparing…
Charmed baryon strong decays are studied in a chiral quark model. The data for the decays of $\Lambda^+_c(2593)$, $\Lambda^+_c(2625)$, $\Sigma^{++,+,0}_c$ and $\Sigma^{+,0}_c(2520)$, are accounted for successfully, which allows to fix the…
