By relating fine and hyperfine spittings for l=1 states in bottomium we can factor out the less tractable part of the perturbative and nonperturbative effects. Reliable predictions for one of the fine splittings and the hyperfine splitting…
We investigate in stable strange hadronic matter (SHM) the modification of the masses of the scalar ($\sigma$, $\sigma^*$) and the vector ($\omega$, $\phi$) mesons. The baryon ground state is treated in the relativistic Hartree…
Flavor mixing is scrutinized at 1-loop in a SU(2)_L gauge theory of massive fermions. The main issue is to cope with kinetic-like, momentum (p^2) dependent effective interactions that arise at this order. They spoil the unitarity of the…
We present numerical results for the dissociation cross sections of ground-state, orbitally- and radially-excited charmonia in collisions with light mesons. Our results are derived using the nonrelativistic quark model, so all parameters…
We study hyperon resonances by solving coupled channel scattering equations. The coupled systems include pseudoscalar- and vector-baryon channels. The parameters of the model are restricted by making a $\chi^2$-fit to the cross section data…
In the hindered magnetic dipole transitions of heavy quarkonia, the coupled-channel effects originating from the coupling of quarkonia to a pair of heavy and anti-heavy mesons can play a dominant role. Here, we study the hindered magnetic…
We compute the chiral corrections to the hyperfine splittings $\Delta_D=(m_{D^*_s}-m_{D_s})-(m_{D^{*+}}-m_{D^+})$ and $\Delta_B=(m_{B^*_s}-m_{B_s})-(m_{B^{*0}}-m_{B^0})$ arising from one-loop chiral corrections, working in a framework of an…
Spin-orbit coupling characterizes quantum systems such as atoms, nuclei, hypernuclei, quarkonia, etc., and is essential for understanding their spectroscopic properties. Depending on the system, the effect of spin-orbit coupling on shell…

Recent measurements of the $\eta_b(1S)$, the ground state of the $b\bar{b}$ system, show the splitting between it and the $\Up(1S)$ to be 69.5$\pm$3.2 MeV, considerably larger than lattice QCD and potential model predictions, including…
Semiconductor-s-type superconductor nanowires host spinful fermions and cannot be reduced to a single spinless Kitaev chain hosting single Majorana zero mode. Instead, such systems can be converted into two coupled p-wave Kitaev-like chains…
The recent observation at the Tevatron of $\Sigma_b^{\pm}$ ($uub$ and $ddb$) baryons within 2 MeV of the predicted $\Sigma_b - \Lambda_b$ splitting and of $\Xi_b^-$ $(dsb)$ baryons at the Tevatron within a few MeV of predictions has…

We investigate the hyperfine splitting of the heavy baryons in the bound-state approach. We start with an ordinary relativistic Lagrangian which has been extensively used to discuss finite mass corrections to the heavy limit predictions. It…
