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-$N_c$…
We study the D-meson spectral density in dense matter within the framework of a coupled-channel self-consistent calculation taking, as bare meson-baryon interaction, a separable potential. Our coupled-channel model generates dynamically the…
Meson-baryon interactions are the fundamental building blocks to study the structures of baryon resonances and meson properties in few-body nuclear systems. We review the recent progress in the investigation of the meson-baryon interaction…
We explore the possibility that some of the five narrow $\Omega_c$ resonances recently observed at LHCb could correspond to pentaquark states, structured as meson-baryon bound states or molecules. The interaction of the low-lying…
We calculate the cross section and the beam asymmetry for exclusive photoproduction of charmed particles near threshold ($\gamma+p\to \Lambda_c^+ +\bar{D^0}$), in the framework of an effective Lagrangian model. We discuss the sensitivity of…
We present a study of correlations between D and $\bar{D}$ mesons produced in 500 GeV/$c$ $\pi^-$-nucleon interactions, based on data from experiment E791 at Fermilab. We have fully reconstructed $791 \pm 44$ charm meson pairs to study…
From the perspective that the $\Lambda_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ are dynamically generated resonances from the $DN,~D^*N$ interaction and coupled channels, we have evaluated the rates for $\Lambda_b \to \pi^- \Lambda_c(2595)$ and…
Charmed dibaryon states with the spin-parity $J^{\pi}=0^+$, $1^+$, and $2^+$are predicted for the two-body $Y_cN$ ($=\Lambda_c$, $\Sigma_c$, or $\Sigma^*_c$) systems. We employ the complex scaling method for the coupled channel Hamiltonian…
We perform a systematical investigation of the singly charmed dibaryon system with strangeness numbers $S=-1$, $-3$ and $-5$ in the framework of the chiral quark model. Two resonance states with strangeness numbers $S=-1$ are obtained in…
Measurements of the production yields of charm baryons ($\Lambda_\mathrm{c}^+$) and charm mesons (D$^0$) in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 8.16 TeV are presented. The data were collected in 2016 with…
Leading charm hadrons produced in hadron-nucleus interactions cannot be adequately described within the parton fusion model. Recent results on charm baryon production in $\Sigma^- A$ interactions at 330 GeV with the WA89 detector disagree…
Identifying the zero-range exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, the spectrum of ${3/2}^-$ molecules is computed. We predict a strongly bound 15-plet…
In this presentation I explain our framework for dynamically generating resonances from the meson meson interaction. Our model generates many poles in the T-matrix which are associated with known states, while at the same time new states…
We study the vector-vector interaction within the framework of the hidden gauge formalism for the sector with quantum numbers charm C=0 and strangeness S=0 in the region around 4000 MeV. We get five poles, three of which could be identified…
Predictions for the charm-production reaction antiproton-proton -> antiLambda_c-Lambda_c for energies near the threshold are presented. The calculations are performed in a meson-exchange framework in close analogy to our earlier study on…

The interaction between pseudoscalar and/or vector mesons can be studied using hidden gauge Lagrangians. In this framework, the interaction between charmed mesons has been studied. Furthermore, doubly charmed states are also predicted.…
The leading order strangeness S=-3 and -4 baryon-baryon interactions are analyzed within chiral effective field theory. The chiral potentials consist of contact terms without derivatives and of one-pseudoscalar-meson exchanges. Assuming…
We employ an effective Lagrangian approach and isobar model to investigate the role of the $N^*_{c\bar{c}}(4261)$ resonance with hidden charm in the $\pi^- p \to J/\psi n$ reaction. The total and differential cross sections of this reaction…
In this work we study the formation of $N^*$'s as a consequence of the dynamics involved in the $ND\bar D^*-N\bar D D^*$ system when the $D\bar D^*-\bar D D^*$ subsystem generates $X(3872)$ in isospin 0 and $Z_c(3900)$ in isospin 1. States…
