The measurements of J/psi decays into photon, proton and antiproton show a strong enhancement at the proton-antiproton threshold not seen in the decays into neutral pion, proton and antiproton. What is the nature of this enhancement? A…
In weakly bound exotic nuclei, number of excited bound states or narrow resonances is small and, moreover, they couple strongly to the particle continuum. Hence, these systems should be described in the quantum open system formalism which…
We suggest that the fluctuations of strange hadron multiplicity could be sensitive to the equation of state and microscopic structure of strongly interacting matter created at the early stage of high energy nucleus-nucleus collisions. They…
The isobaric caloric curve is considered in subcritical states region. The energy fluctuations along the caloric curve are determined for small nuclear systems which consist of limited number of nucleons. The temperature dependence of heat…
In these lectures, we present the behavior of conventional $\bar{q}q$ mesons, glueballs, and hybrids in the large-$N_{c}$ limit of QCD. To this end, we use an approach based on rather simple NJL-like bound-state equations. The obtained…
Comments are made on Akaishi, Myint and Yamazaki's interpretation of antikaonic quasibound nuclear states as generalized Kapur-Peierls decaying states [arXiv:0805.4382]. We argue that these `intrinsic decaying states' have little to do with…
The possibility for the existence of unstable bound states of the S11 nucleon resonance N$^*$(1535) and nuclei is investigated. These quasibound states are speculated to be closely related to the existence of the quasibound states of the…
Nuclear matter with a strong magnetic field is prevalent inside neutron stars and heavy-ion collisions. In a sufficiently large magnetic field the ground state is either a chiral soliton lattice (CSL), an array of solitons of the neutral…
We calculated antibaryon ($\bar{B}$ = $\bar{p}$, $\bar{\Lambda}$, $\bar{\Sigma}$, $\bar{\Xi}$) bound states in selected nuclei within the relativistic mean-field (RMF) model. The G-parity motivated $\bar{B}$-meson coupling constants were…
Recent lattice QCD calculations have reported evidence for the existence of a bound state with strangeness -2 and baryon number 2 at quark masses somewhat higher than the physical values. By developing a description of the dependence of…
The nucleon-nucleon problem is studied as a six-quark system in a nonrelativistic chiral constituent quark model where the Hamiltonian contains a linear confinement and a pseudoscalar meson (Goldstone boson) exchange interaction between the…
The existence of stars with a large mass of 2 solar masses means that the equation of state is stiff enough to provide high enough pressure at large central densities. Previous work shows that such a stiff equation of state is possible if…
We investigate the properties of baryonic matter within the framework of the in-medium modified chiral soliton model by taking into account the effects of surrounding baryonic environment on the properties of in-medium baryons. The internal…
The effective strange quark and antiquark masses are estimated from the chiral soliton approach (CSA) results for the spectrum of exotic and nonexotic baryons. There are problems when one tries to project results of the CSA on the simple…
We have measured proton and neutron energy spectra by stopping negative kaons on liquid helium4. Two distinct peak structures were found on both spectra, which were assigned to the formation of new kinds of strange stribaryons. In this…
The recent Investigations in the chiral quark model show that kaon productions of nucleon play an important role in understanding the structure of baryons. The evidences of a third $S_{11}$ resonance in the second resonance region and two…
The existence of baryon-baryon bound states in the strangeness sector is examined in the framework of SU(3) chiral effective field theory. Specifically, the role of SU(3) symmetry breaking contact terms that arise at next-to-leading order…
Fine-tuning of the binding energies and widths of the quasi-bound states in three-body systems consisting of antikaon(s) and nucleon(s) was performed. Dynamically exact three-body Faddeev-type AGS equations with three coupled particle…
We extend previous relativistic mean-field (RMF) calculations of multi-$\bar K$ nuclei, using vector boson fields with SU(3) PPV coupling constants and scalar boson fields constrained phenomenologically. For a given core nucleus, the…
Starting from solutions of the lightly-bound Skyrme model, we construct many new Skyrmion solutions of the standard Skyrme model with tetrahedral or octahedral symmetry. These solutions are closely related to weight diagrams of the group…
