Van der Waals potentials describing interactions between color-singlet mesons and/or baryons vanish at leading order in potential nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (pNRQCD). This result and constraints from Gauss's law are used to…
The description of the heavy baryons as heavy-meson--soliton bound systems is reviewed. We outline how such bound systems arise from effective lagrangians that respect both chiral symmetry and heavy quark symmetry. Effects due to finite…
I present recent results on the theory of QCD matter production in high energy heavy ion collisions and on the interactions of heavy quarks in such environment. The centrality and rapidity dependence of hadron production is evaluated in…
We present the detail of a newly developed relativistic transport model (ART 1.0) for high energy heavy-ion collisions. Using this model, we first study the general collision dynamics between heavy ions at the AGS energies. We then show…
Recent experimental data from $pp$ collisions have shown a significant increase in heavy baryon production leading to a baryon over meson ratio which is one order of magnitude higher than elementary collisions ($e^+e^-$, $ep$). From a…
Nuclei are nearly transparent to each other when they collide at high energy, but the collisions do produce high energy density matter in the central rapidity region where most experimental measurements are made. What happens to the…
It is shown that the ratio of strange to non-strange particle production in relativistic heavy ion collisions is expected to reach a maximum at beam energies around 30 A.GeV in the lab frame. This maximum is unique to heavy ion collisions,…
We calculate the magnetic moments of heavy baryons with a single heavy quark in the bound-state approach. In this approach the heavy baryons is considered as a heavy meson bound in the field of a light baryon. The light baryon field is…
We argue why the recently observed $T_{cc}$ could either be a compact multiquark configuration or a loosely bound molecular configuration composed of charmed mesons, whereas the $X(3872)$ is most likely a molecular configuration. The…
We study the structure of the $X(3915)$ meson in a quark model and explore how its production in heavy ion collisions depends on its internal structure. We first analyze the $X(3915)$ as a $c\bar{c}s\bar{s}$ state and solve the Hamiltonian…
Discriminating hadronic molecular and multi-quark states is a long standing problem in hadronic physics. We propose here to utilize relativistic heavy ion collisions to resolve this problem, as exotic hadron yields are expected to be…
Transverse momentum spectra of pions, protons and antiprotons in Au+Au collisions at intermediate RHIC energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=62$ GeV are studied in a model that includes both quark coalescence from the dense partonic matter and…
The production rates and transverse momentum distributions of the strange-beauty mesons $B_s$ and $B_s^*$ at $p\bar p$ colliders are calculated assuming fragmentation is the dominant process. Results are given for the Tevatron in the large…
It is found that the baryon phase-space density obtained from the ratio of deuteron to proton yields is nearly constant over centrality in Au+Au collisions at the AGS. The finding offers an explanation for the puzzling centrality…
Experimental data on the production of kaons and antikaons in heavy ion collisions at relativistic energies are reviewed with respect to in-medium effects. The $K^-/K^+$ ratios measured in nucleus-nucleus collisions are 1 - 2 orders of…
Following the basic prescriptions of the relativistic Tsallis' non-extensive thermostatistics, we investigate from a phenomenological point of view the relevance of non-extensive statistical effects on relativistic heavy-ion collisions…
The enhancement of the ratio of strange to non-strange hadrons with increasing charged-particle multiplicity density is often interpreted as a signature of the medium formed in heavy-ion collisions. However, this effect has also been…
Relativistic light-front bound-state equations for mesons and baryons can be constructed in the chiral limit from the supercharges of a superconformal algebra which connect baryon and meson spectra. Quark masses break the conformal…
The equation of state of a baryon-symmetric hadronic matter with hard-sphere interactions is studied. It is assumed that mesons are point-like, but baryons and antibaryons have the same hard-core radius rB. Three possibilities are…
