Conventional hadronic matter consists of baryons and mesons made of three quarks and quark-antiquark pairs, respectively. The observation of a new type of hadronic state, a doubly charmed tetraquark containing two charm quarks, an anti-$u$…
Changes in properties of heavy hadrons with a charm or a bottom quark are studied in nuclear matter. Effective masses (scalar potentials) for the hadrons are calculated using quark-meson coupling model. Our results also suggest that the…
We present results for the light, strange and charm quark masses using $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass fermion ensembles at three values of the lattice spacing, including two ensembles simulated with the physical value of the pion mass. The…
The spectra of baryons containing two heavy quarks test the form of the $QQ$ potential through the spin-averaged masses and hyperfine splittings. The mass splittings in these spectra are calculated in a nonrelativistic potential model and…
The MSbar charm quark mass is determined to be m_c(m_c)=1224+-17+-54 MeV from a global fit to inclusive B meson decay data, where the first error is experimental, and includes the uncertainty in alpha_s, and the second is an estimate of…
The strange magnetic form factor of proton is calculated in a model independent way to confirm the recent experimental result of the SAMPLE Collaboration. We consider a set of six inertia parameters to realize the magnetic moments of the…
The strange pentaquarks with hidden heavy quark pair ($q^3c\bar c$ and $q^3b \bar b$) are investigated by the coupled-channel quark cluster model. Two types of the $q^3$ color-octet configurations are found to provide the attraction, which…
Nonperturbative spin-dependent forces of quarks in a baryon are calculated directly from the QCD Lagrangian in the framework of the Field Correlator Method both for heavy and light quarks. Resulting forces contain terms of 5 different…
The calculation of the meson masses based on the 5D homogeneous space-time quantum projection was shown explicitly. There are no adjustable parameters, except the rest quark mass. The discovered p-p 125 GeV resonance was proposed by us as a…
The physics of the orbitally excited baryons simplifies drastically in the large Nc limit. The states are arranged into irreducible representations of the contracted SU(4)_c symmetry, with mixing angles determined exactly. The ratios of the…
We perform a lattice study of heavy baryons, containing one ($\Lambda_b$) or two $b$-quarks ($\Xi_b$). Using the quenched approximation we obtain for the mass of $\Lambda_b$ $$ M_{\Lambda_b}= 5.728 \pm 0.144 \pm 0.018 {\rm GeV}.$$ The mass…
By an unquenched quark model, we predict a charmed-strange baryon state, namely, the $\Omega_{c0}^d(1P,1/2^-)$. Its mass is predicted to be 2945 MeV, which is below the $\Xi_c\bar{K}$ threshold due to the nontrivial coupled-channel effect.…
By assuming the existence of (quasi)-linear baryon Regge trajectories, we derive new quadratic Gell-Mann-Okubo type baryon mass relations. These relations are used to predict the masses of the charmed baryons absent from the Baryon Summary…
Exclusive nonleptonic decays of bottom baryons to charm baryons and pseudoscalar light mesons are analyzed within a relativistic three-quark model. We include factorizing as well as nonfactorizing contributions to the decay amplitudes. The…
I discuss several recent highly accurate theoretical predictions for masses of baryons containing the b quark, as well as an effective supersymmetry between heavy quark baryons and mesons. I also suggest some possibilities for observing…
In the heavy-quark limit, the two heavy quarks in a doubly heavy baryon or a doubly heavy tetraquark are bound by their color-Coulomb potential into a compact diquark. The doubly heavy hadrons are related by the approximate…
There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…
In this talk we summarize our latest results on the study of three-body systems with explicit/hidden charm and with strangeness. In particular, we focus on the $K D D $ and $K D\bar D^*$ systems, where a charm $+2$, isospin $1/2$ and…
This is an experimentalist's list of questions concerning the physics of the charmed baryon sector which have no satisfactory answer.
Two body decays of charm mesons are studied by describing their amplitude in terms of a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated by using a naive factorization while the latter is calculated by using a hard…
