In this presentation we discuss the generation of hadrons with an exotic quark content and hidden charm emerging from three-body interactions. To be more specific, we have studied the $KD\bar{D}^*/K\bar D D^*$ and $ND\bar{D}^*/N\bar{D}D^*$…
Our charm program uses a mixed action with twisted-mass valence quarks over non-perturbatively improved Wilson sea quarks, in order to study various quantities in a relativistic and manifestly local framework of full QCD. The sea sector…
I review challenges in the understanding of long distance effects in theoretical calculations of mixing rates of charmed mesons in the standard model.
Using the recombination model (RM) extended to the heavy flavor scenario, we investigate the production of charmed mesons, i.e., $D^0$, $D_s^+$ and $J/\psi$, in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ and 5.02 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron…
The spectrum of the C=1 hyperons is well described by the constituent quark model, if the fine structure interaction between the light and strange quarks is mediated by the $SU(3)_F$ octet of light pseudoscalar mesons, which are the…
We have recently studied hidden-charm pentaquarks, $c\bar c qqq$, using dynamical correlations between the heavy quarks arising from the Coulomb-like nature of the short-range interaction. A pattern was obtained that compares well with the…
We study baryon resonances with heavy flavor in a molecular approach, thus as dynamically generated by meson-baryon scattering. This is accomplished by using a unitary coupled-channel model taking, as bare interaction, the extension to four…
A number of ways are reviewed in which the study of charmed particles can answer corresponding questions about particles containing $b$ quarks. Topics include the properties of resonances, the magnitude of decay constants, the size of…
We study charmed and strange baryon resonances that are generated dynamically by a unitary baryon-meson coupled-channels model which incorporates heavy-quark spin symmetry. This is accomplished by extending the SU(3) Weinberg-Tomozawa…
The molecular picture and the constituent-quark model of exotic hadrons are reviewed, with application to the states recently discovered in the hidden-charm and hidden beauty sectors, and to other configurations.
Charmed baryon resonances that are generated dynamically are studied within a unitary baryon-meson coupled-channel model, which incorporates heavy-quark spin symmetry. The extension of the SU(3) Weinberg-Tomozawa chiral Lagrangian to SU(8)…
We present flavour-symmetric results for the couplings of quark-antiquark systems to meson-meson channels in the harmonic-oscillator expansion. We tabulate their values for all possible open and closed decay channels of pseudo-scalar,…
In this work, we explore a systematic investigation on $S$-wave interactions between a doubly charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}(3621)$ and a charmed meson in a $T$ doublet $(D_1,\,D_2^*)$. We first analyze the possibility for forming…
Strangeness and charm degrees of freedom in strongly interacting matter are discussed within a quasi-particle model adjusted to lattice QCD data. The model allows to extrapolate lattice QCD data to large baryo-chemical potential. We outline…
The effects of charmed meson loops on the spectrum of charmonium are considered, with special attention paid to the levels above open-charm threshold. It is found that the coupling to charmed mesons generates a structure at the D \bar{D}*…
Extending the SU(3) flavour symmetry breaking expansion from up, down and strange sea quark masses to partially quenched valence quark masses allows an extrapolation to the charm quark mass. This approach leads to a determination of charmed…
We study the properties of strange and charm mesons in hot and dense matter within a self-consistent coupled-channel approach for the experimental conditions of density and temperature expected for the CBM experiment at FAIR/GSI. The…
Heavy quarks, and the hadrons containing them, are excellent probes of the QCD medium formed in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, as they provide essential information on the transport properties of the medium and how quarks…
Revisiting the strong couplings of three mesons, each of which involves at least one charm quark, proves clear disaccord between quark-model and QCD sum-rule results.
We calculate the effective potentials of the $\Xi_c\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$, $\Xi_c^\prime\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ and $\Xi_c^\ast\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ systems with the chiral effective field theory up to the next-to-leading order. We simultaneously consider…
