The interesting state X(1600) with $J^{PC}I^G=2^{++}2^+$ can't be a conventional $q \bar q$ meson in the quark model. Using a mixed interpolating current with different color configurations, we investigate the possible existence of X(1600)…
Models proposed to explain recently discovered heavy-light four-quark states already assume certain internal structures, i.e. the (anti)quark constituents are grouped into diquark/antidiquark clusters, heavy-meson/light-meson clusters…
In response to recent experimental findings from the BES III and LHCb collaborations concerning the decay of open charm mesons into three pseudoscalars, we present evidence suggesting that the lightest scalar mesons can be characterized as…
New data on the decays of the charmed particles $D^0$, $D^+$, and $D_s$ to pairs of light pseudoscalar mesons $P$ allow the testing of flavor symmetry and the extraction of key amplitudes. Information on relative strong phases is obtained.…
The observation of the D_{sJ}^*(2317), D_{sJ}(2460), and SELEX D^*_{sJ}(2632) states with properties differing considerably from what was expected has led to a renewed interest in hadron spectroscopy. In addition to these states,…
Recent BES data on $J/\psi \to \phi \pi\pi$ indicate that there is a possible new spin-0 state ($f_0(1790)$) with a mass of $m=1790^{+40}_{-30} \mathrm{MeV}/\mathrm{c}^2$. Assuming it to be an iso-singlet $0^+(0^{++})$, we propose a new…
We calculate masses of light and heavy mesons as well as baryons of negative parity containing $u,d,s,c$ and $b$ quarks. It is an extension of our previous work where we had studied the positive parity baryons. We adopt a quark-diquark…
We evaluate the light baryonium spectrum, viz. the baryon-antibaryon states, in the framework of QCD sum rules. The nonperturbative contributions up to dimension 12 are taken into account. Numerical results indicate that there might exist…
We present lattice results for the spectrum of mesons containing one heavy quark and of baryons containing one or two heavy quarks. The calculation is done in the quenched approximation using the NRQCD formalism for the heavy quark. We…
In this article, we take the point of view that the $0^{++}$ nonet mesons below $1 GeV$ are diquark-antidiquark states $(qq)_{\bar{3}}(\bar{q}\bar{q})_3$, and devote to determine their masses in the framework of the QCD sum rules approach…
The statistics of the light emitted by two-level lasers is evaluated on the basis of generalized rate equations. According to that approach, all fluctuations are interpreted as being caused by the jumps that occur in active and detecting…
It is presented a critical consideration of all unusual properties of the scalar $a_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$-mesons in the four-quark, two-quark and molecular models. The arguments are adduced that the four-quark model is more preferable. It…
Masses and widths of the four light scalar mesons $\sigma$, $\kappa$, $a_0$(980) and $f_0$(980) may be reproduced in a model where mesons scatter via a $q\bar{q}$ loop. A transition potential is used to couple mesons to $q\bar{q}$ at a…
We discuss the phenomenology of scalar and pseudoscalar mesons, emphasizing those which do not carry manifest flavor quantum numbers. Many of the properties of these mesons are still not fully understood. Some of them probably do not have…
In this talk I review the findings of our recent works where we have studied the decay of $N^*(1895)$ and the implications of such properties on the photoproduction of light hyperons. I discuss that meson-baryon interactions play an…
We present a search for B decays to charmless final states involving charged or neutral a0 mesons. The data sample corresponds to 89 million BBbar pairs collected with the BABAR detector operating at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy B Factory…
Mass differences between octet strange baryons, octet and decuplet strange baryons, and nonet vector mesons and octet baryons of equal strangeness coincide (within the small experimental uncertainties) with the levels of a recently proposed…
This work is devoted to the discussion and characterization of the tensor $2^{-(-)}$ meson spectrum, by making use of the Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian approach to QCD, with the interactions being given by an improved confining potential and a…
We present results for the spectrum of light and strange mesons on configurations with two flavors of mass-degenerate Chirally Improved sea quarks. The calculations are performed on seven ensembles of lattice size 16^3x32 at three different…
