Within the framework of an equivparticle model employing mean-field approximation, we investigate systematically the mass spectra of color-singlet $N$-quark configurations with $N = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15$, and 18, which are assumed to be…
We study the stability of bound antiprotons in close proximity to the atomic nucleus. Using experimental data from X-ray spectroscopy measurements of antiprotonic atom transitions, we tune a minimal theoretical framework and estimate…
The radiative decays of hyperons are studied in the framework of the bound state soliton model. Detailed predictions for the total decay widths and the E2/M1 ratios corresponding to decuplet--to--octet electromagnetic transitions are…
A quantum group analysis is applied to the Sine-Gordon model (or may be its version) in a strong-coupling regime. Infinitely many bound states are found together with the corresponding S-matrices. These new solutions of the Yang-Baxter…
Deeply bound KNN, KNNN and KNNNN states are discussed. The effective force exerted by the K meson on the nucleons is calculated with static nucleons. Next the binding energies are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation or by…
The Chiral Dilaton Model, where baryons arise as non-topological solitons built from the interaction of quarks and chiral mesons, shows in the high density low temperature regime a two phase scenario in the nuclear matter phase diagram.…
To see whether heavy baryon and anti-baryon can form a bound state, the heavy baryonium, we study the interaction potential between them in terms of heavy baryon perturbation theory. The obtained potential is applied to calculate the heavy…
We discuss weakly bound states of a few-fermion system having spin-isospin symmetry. This corresponds to the nuclear physics case in which the singlet, $a_0$, and triplet, $a_1$, $n-p$ scattering lengths are large with respect to the range…
The new ansatz which is the SO(3) group soliton was defined for the SU(3) Skyrme model. The model is considered in noncanonical bases $SU(3)\supset SO(3)$ for the state vectors. A complete canonical quantization of the model have been…
Attenuation of the singlet quark--anti-quark bound state passing through a random external SU(N) color field at high energy is studied within the eikonal framework as a model for the absorption of a quarkonium by nuclear target. For a thick…
Multiprotons and multineutrons are among the most exotic and mysterious things ever produced on earth. They provide an exceptional opportunity to understand nuclear forces and nuclear dynamics at extreme conditions, as well as neutron stars…
We show that the boundary between quark-dominated and hadron-dominated regions of nuclear structure may be blurred by multi-nucleon quark clusters arising from color percolation. Recent experiments supporting partial percolation in cold…
A new chiral SU(3) Lagrangian is proposed to describe the properties of kaons and antikaons in the nuclear medium, the ground state of dense matter and the kaon-nuclear interactions consistently. The saturation properties of nuclear matter…
The features of a model interpreting the light scalar mesons as diquark-antidiquark bound states and the consequences of its natural extension to include heavy quarks are briefly reviewed.
We investigate the existence of bound $\Xi$ \break states in systems with $A=4-7$ baryons using the Jacobi NCSM approach in combination with chiral NN and $\Xi$N interactions. We find three shallow bound states for the NNN$\Xi$ system (with…
The chiral soliton approach (CSA) provides predictions of the rich spectrum of baryonic states with different values of strangeness for any baryon number B. In the sector with B=1 the well known octet and decuplet of baryons are described…
Effective nuclear densities probed by kaon- and anti-kaon-nucleus systems are studied theoretically both for bound and low energy scattering states. As for the anti-kaon bound states, we investigate kaonic atoms. We find that the effective…
An unified approximated solution for symmetric Skyrmions was proposed for the SU(2) Skyrme model for baryon numbers up to 8,which take the hybrid form of a kink-like solution and that given by the instanton method. The Skyrmion profiles are…
I review here the most recent results about the observation and the study of hadronic bound states that do not fit well in the standard quarkonium picture. Several new states have been observed in the last few years, at B-, tau-Factories…
Magnetic bound states are a general phenomenon in low dimensional antiferromagnets with gapped singlet states. Using Raman scattering on three compounds as dedicated examples we show how exchange topology, dimensionality, defects and…
