Recently, the 1/Nc expansion has been applied to the study of exotic baryons containing both quarks and antiquarks. We extend this approach to exotic states with mixed symmetric spin-flavor symmetry, which correspond in the quark model to…
A combined expansion in the number of QCD colors 1/N_c and SU(3) flavor breaking parameter epsilon has long been known to provide an excellent accounting for the mass spectrum of the lightest spin-1/2, 3/2 baryons when the quarks are taken…
We review theoretical approaches to explore the phase diagram of nuclear and quark matter at high baryon density. We first look over the basic properties of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and address how to describe various states of QCD…
Following the Non-Relativistic QCD approach we use a gauge invariant smearing method with factorization to measure the excitation energies for a heavy $Q\bar{Q}$ system on a $24^3\times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$. The results come from…
QCD with a finite baryon chemical potential, despite its importance, is not well understood because the standard lattice QCD simulation is not applicable due to the sign problem. Although QCD-like theories which do not suffer from the sign…
We apply the $1/N_c$ expansion in QCD to the baryon vertices. We find new model independent properties for the isoscalar and isovector baryon vertices from the view point of $1/N_c$ expansion in QCD. One of these results, $I=J$ rule, have…
We demonstrate in a model independent way that, in the combined heavy quark and large N_c limit, there exists a new contracted U(4) symmetry which connects orbitally excited heavy baryons to the ground states.
We calculate the spectrum of $B_c$ mesons using a non-relativistic quark potential model. Using the calculated wave functions, we compute the radiative widths of $B_c$ excited states. The strong decay widths are calculated in a modified…
In these lectures we provide an introduction to the theory of QCD at very high baryon density. We begin with a review of some aspects of quantum many-body system that are relevant in the QCD context. We also provide a brief review of QCD…
We identify ``spurious'' states in meson-baryon scattering, those that appear in QCD for N_c > 3 but decouple for N_c = 3. The key observation is that the relevant flavor SU(3) Clebsch-Gordan coefficients contain factors of 1 - 3/N_c. We…
We show that in a quark model scheme the use of a screened potential, suggested by lattice QCD, instead of an infinitely rising one with the interquark distance, provides a more adequate description of the high-energy baryon spectrum. In…
We present the ground and excited state spectra of doubly charmed baryons from lattice QCD with dynamical quark fields. Calculations are performed on anisotropic lattices of size 16^3 X 128, with inverse spacing in temporal direction 1/a_t…
Preliminary results from an extensive lattice calculation of the B, B_c, and \Upsilon spectrum at quenched \beta = 6.0 are presented. The study includes radially and orbitally excited mesons, and baryons containing b quarks. The b quarks…
In this work, the spectra and decay properties of $B_c$ mesons ($c\bar{b}$) have been investigated using a non-relativistic potential model incorporating corrections from LQCD. The non-relativistic Schrodinger wave equation is solved…

This is the first of two papers to study a new emergent symmetry which connects orbitally excited heavy baryons to the ground states in the combined heavy quark and large $N_c$ limit. The existence of this symmetry is shown in a…
