The hyperfine mass splittings of baryons containing a heavy quark are derived at leading order in large $N$ QCD. Hyperfine splittings either preserve or violate heavy quark spin symmetry. Previous work proves that the splittings which…

We discuss the quantum mechanics of coalescence of quark-antiquark pairs into mesons using a non-relativistic quark model. We derive the coalescence probabilities assuming a harmonic oscillator potential and generic Gaussian wave packet…
The $\Sigma_c^*-\Sigma_c$ and $\Sigma_b^*-\Sigma_b$ hyperfine mass splittings are computed in the Skyrme model. The hyperfine splittings are suppressed by both $1/N_c$ and by $1/m_Q$, where $N_c$ is the number of colors and $m_Q$ is the…
The spin - spin mass splitting of light, heavy and mixed mesons are described within a good accuracy in the potential model with screened potential. We conclude that the long - distance part of the potential cannot be pure scalar and that a…

We present lattice results for the spectrum of mesons containing one heavy quark and of baryons containing one or two heavy quarks. The calculation is done in the quenched approximation using the NRQCD formalism for the heavy quark. We…

The low-lying spectrum of the quark model is shown to be robust under the effects of `unquenching'. In contrast, the use of screened potentials is shown to be of limited use in models of hadrons. Applications to unquenching the lattice…
The observation of the $\Upsilon(10753)$ state by Belle II Collaboration has sparked significant interest in the theoretical understanding of such states within the context of hadron physics. Considering the similar mass and the decay with,…
It is proposed that meson resonances are linear combinations of q-qbar and meson-meson (MM); baryon resonances are combinations of qqq and meson-baryon (MB). Mixing between these combinations arises via decays of confined states to…
We study meson-meson scattering in a soluble model which describes asymptotically free mesons and confined quark-antiquark pairs via coupled channels. Concretely, the two scattered mesons are assumed to interact through s-channel…
We previously showed that a quantum quench in a one-dimensional translation invariant system produces undamped oscillations of a local observable when the post-quench state includes a single-quasiparticle mode and the observable couples to…

We present a consistent way of describing heavy baryons containing a heavy quark as bound states of an $SU(2)$ soliton and heavy mesons. The resulting mass formula reveals the heavy quark symmetry explicitly. By extending the model to the…
