We estimate pionic decay widths of the narrow charm-strange resonances $D_{sj}(2317)$ and $D_{sj}(2460)$ using the $^3P_0$ model. Their one-pion decays occur through $\eta$-$\pi^0$ mixing while the two-pion decays of $D_{sj}(2460)$ occur…

In this work, we investigate the open-charm decay process $\psi\to\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c$ via the hadronic loop mechanism for vector charmonia above $\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c$ threshold. The branching ratios of these vector charmonium…

We treat the $Y(4260)$ resonance as a four-quark state in the framework of the covariant confining quark model. We study two choices of the interpolating current, either the molecular-type current which effectively corresponds to the…

We study the changes in the partial decay widths of excited charmonium states into $D \bar{D}$, when the D meson mass decreases in nuclear matter, taking the internal structure of the hadrons into account. Calculations within the 3P0 model…

The N*(1440) -> N pi pi decay is studied by making use of the chiral reduction formula. This formula suggests a scalar-isoscalar pion-baryon contact interaction which is absent in the recent study of Hern{\'a}ndez et al. The contact…

It is argued that the charged $Z^+_c(3885)$ resonance, treated as a `molecular' state of charmed $D$ and $D^*$ mesons, is likely to consist of two peaks unequally coupled to the $D^{*+} \bar D^0$ and $D^+ \bar D^{*0}$ channels. The peaks…

Apart from the charmful decay channels of $Y(4260)$, the charmless decay channels of $Y(4260)$ also provide us a good platform to study the nature and the decay mechanism of $Y(4260)$. In this paper, we propose to probe the structure of…

We study the influence of possible molecular structures in the charmonium spectrum. We focus on the $0^{++}$ and $1^{--}$ sectors. In the first one we coupled the $2 ^3P_0$ $q\bar q$ pair with $DD$, $J/\psi \omega$, $D_sD_s$ and…

In this work a comprehensive analysis of the mass spectrum and decay properties of charmonium states within a relativistic framework is carried out. The present experimental status of charmonium states is reviewed. Utilizing a screened…

We study the effect of sigma meson on the $D_1(2430) \to D\pi\pi$ decay by constructing an effective Lagrangian preserving the chiral symmetry and the heavy quark symmetry. The sigma meson is included through a linear sigma model, in which…

In this paper, the nature of $X(4020)$ observed in the vicinity of the $D^*\bar D^*$ threshold of the $\pi h_c$ and $D^*\bar D^*$ distributions is studied. Using a model containing one bare-particle state with the $\pi h_c$ and $D^*\bar…

We demonstrate that the relative ratio of the decays of hidden charm pentaquark-like structure $P^+_c(4380)$ to $\bar{D}^* \Lambda_c^+$ and $J/\psi p$ are very different for $P^+_c$ being $\bar{D} \Sigma_c^*(2520)$ or $\bar{D}^*…

This paper investigates the decay process $\Lambda_b \to \Sigma_c^{++} D^- K^-$ with the objective of finding a predicted molecular state with isospin $I=1$, $J^P=2^+$ of $D^* K^*$ nature, plus finding support for the $P_c(4312)$ state as…

Results are presented for the 500 GeV/c pion production asymmetry and polarization of the Lambda_c (anti-Lanbda_c) charmed baryon from Fermilab experiment E791. An analysis of the decay to the p anti-K pi final state is described. Resonant…

We calculate the $\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c$ partial decay width of the excited vector charmonium states around 4.6 GeV with the quark pair creation model. We find that the partial decay width of the $\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c$ mode can reach…

Using a sample of 152 million BBbar pairs accumulated with the Belle detector at the KEKB e+e- collider, we perform a Dalitz plot analysis of the three-body charmed decay B- -> Lambda_c+ p_bar pi-. The intermediate two-body decay B- ->…

We employ a chiral effective field theory-based approach to connect $DD^*$ scattering observables at the physical and variable pion masses accessible in lattice QCD simulations. We incorporate all relevant scales associated with three-body…

The Lambda_c(2286)-N system is studied in a chiral constituent quark model and the resulting s-wave interaction is used in separable form within three-body models of the pi-Lambda_c-N system with quantum numbers (C,I,JP)=(+1,3/2,2+).…

Three ways of fitting the pi-pi mass spectrum in Y(4260) decays are studied. Data presented recently by Belle cannot be fitted by the pi-pi S-wave intensity for elastic scattering. They can be fitted by adding a rather arbitrary destructive…

We investigate the $D^*K^*$ and $D^*_s\rho$ interaction in coupled channels within the hidden gauge formalism. A structure is developed around their thresholds, short of producing a bound state, which leads to a peak in the $D_s^+ \pi^-$…
