We investigate the symmetry property and the stability of the heptaquark containing two identical heavy antiquarks using color-spin interaction. We construct the wave function of the heptaquark from the Pauli exclusion principle in the…
A $\Sigma^*$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P = 1/2^-$ and mass in the vicinity of the $\bar{K}N$ threshold has been predicted in the unitary chiral approach and inferred from the analysis of CLAS data on the $\gamma p \to K^+ \pi^0…
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…
Recent studies have shown that the well established $\Lambda_c(2595)$ resonance contains a large meson-baryon component, which can vary depending on the specific formalism. In this work, we examine such a picture by utilizing the…
We determine the helicity amplitudes A_1/2 and radiative decay widths in the transition Lambda(1670) to gamma Y (Y=Lambda or Sigma^0). The Lambda(1670) is treated as a dynamically generated resonance in meson-baryon chiral dynamics. We…
By using techniques of unitarized chiral perturbation theory, where the $\Lambda(1405)$ and $\Lambda(1670)$ resonances are dynamically generated, we evaluate the magnetic moments of these resonances and their transition magnetic moment. The…
A chiral effective theory of scalar and vector diquarks is formulated, which is based on $SU(3)_R\times SU(3)_L$ chiral symmetry and includes interactions between scalar and vector diquarks with one or two mesons. We find that the diquark…
We extend our relativistic quark model to the study of the decay Lambda_b -> Lambda_c ell nu and verify that the model satisfies the heavy-quark symmetry constraints at order 1/mQ^2. We isolate a strong dependence on a parameter which…
