The medium energy antiproton beam facility which is under discussion at GSI offers new opportunities to study the QCD of heavy flavours, nuclear structure and exotic mesons. We discuss these topics and briefly highlight other problems in…
Since 2003 several states in the charmonium mass region were discovered. While in the conventional c c-bar spectrum some states are missing, the number of states observed up to now is larger than empty spaces in the c c-bar spectrum. This,…
Heavy-light-flavor meson resonances with charm, in the $D^0$ and $D^*$ families, and charmonium-like states, in the $\eta_c$ and $\chi_{c1}$ families, are explored and discussed in the AdS/QCD model with four quark flavors. The differential…
