Theoretical remarks are offered regarding recent hadron collider results on the mixing and decays of $B_s$ mesons. Topics covered include: (1) CP-violating mixing in $B_s(\ob_s) \to J/\psi \phi$, (2) the D0 dimuon charge asymmetry, (3)…
We show how to obtain information about the states of an effective field theory in terms of the underlying fundamental theory. In particular we analyze the spectroscopic nature of meson resonances from the meson-meson scattering amplitudes…
There exists a great deal of concrete evidence in favor of the exotic four-quark nature of light scalars. At the same time, the further expansion of the area of the $q^2\bar q^2$ model validity for light scalars on ever new processes seems…
Spectrum of masses of light pseudoscalar ($\pi, K, \eta, \eta'$) and vector ($\rho, K^*, \omega, \phi$) mesons can be explained on the base of the following assumptions: (1) analytical confinement (propagators of quarks and gluons are…
The spectroscopy of light, strange baryons have been an important aspect with still unknown resonances and intrinsic baryonic properties. The present document is focused on the $\Delta$ baryons unlike earlier work, here all the four isospin…
Resonances of certain light nuclei are explored by studying the complex pole structures of the scattering matrices. Among other results we predict the existence of three-neutron and three-proton resonances, a small spin-orbit splitting in…
Current measurements of isospin splittings in mesons and baryons are sufficiently precise that they allow estimates of the mass difference between constituent up and down quarks. Some previous results are updated in the light of these new…
Using ideas underlying the flavour-blind "Nijmegen Unitarised Meson Model" we try to understand on the basis of a system of Schroedinger equations with one meson-meson and one (spinless) quark-antiquark channel coupled by a simple…
The regularities in the spectrum of the light baryon resonances are reviewed and compared with those of the light mesons. We discuss the occurrence of parity doublets and clusters, and note the trends in the values of the masses, widths,…
We find possible candidates for the new type of q bar q meson, mesonic chiralons, whose existence is predicted in the covariant level-classification scheme of hadrons with U(12)_SF * O(3,1)_L symmetry, by assigning all the known…
We have observed a narrow state near 2.32 GeV/c^2 in the inclusive Ds+ pi0 invariant mass distributionfrom e+e- annihilation data at energies near 10.6 GeV. The observed width is consistent with the experimental resolution. The small…
An alternative model for the dissociation of the J/psi is proposed. Chiral symmetry is properly implemented. Abnormal parity interactions and mesonic form factors naturally arise from the underlying quark sub-structure. Analytic confinement…
While the light scalar mesons ($S_0$) are considered to be either ordinary $q\bar q$ or exotic tetraquark states, we investigate the semileptonic decays $D\to S_0 e^+\nu_e$, by taking into account the resonant effects of $S_0\to M_1 M_2$,…
If we add one neutron to doubly magic ^{100}Sn, we can associate the low lying states in^{101} Sn with single particle states.The the J=5/2^{+} and J= 7/2^{+} states are identified as d_{5/2}and g_{7/2}states respectively...They are…
The low-lying light tetraquark states are investigated in the non-relativistic quark model (NRQM) including the pseudoscalar meson exchange, where two different confinement potential schemes, the Cornell potential and the linear potential,…
We discuss the two photon coupling of the lightest scalar meson on the basis of an extension of $\chi$PT. Using low energy data on the pion form-factor and the $\gamma\gamma\to \pi^+\pi^-(\pi^0\pi^0)$ cross-sections as inputs, we find…
The properties of ground-state baryons of light-quarks are investigated in U(12)-classification scheme of hadrons, recently proposed by us. In U(12), in addition to the ordinary 56 of SU(6)SF, the existence of the extra 56 with…
The light scalar meson nonet above 1 GeV ({\it i.e.\}the $a_{0}$, $K^{\ast}_{0}$ and $f_{0}$) are studied within the framework of QCD sum rules. In conventional QCD sum rules, the calculated masses of this nonet are degenerate, and the mass…
Scalar mesons are a key expression of the strong coupling regime of QCD. How those with $I_3=0$ couple to two photons supplies important information about which is transiently ${\bar q}q$ or ${\bar {qq}} qq$ or multi-meson molecule or…
Last year we proposed using staggered fermions as the light quarks, combined with nonrelativistic heavy quarks, in simulations of heavy-light mesons. A first round of tests which focuses on the B_s meson has been completed using quenched…
