We calculate the low-lying spectrum of charmed baryons in lattice QCD on the $32^3\times64$, $N_f=2+1$ PACS-CS gauge configurations at the almost physical pion mass of $\sim 156$ MeV/c$^2$. By employing a set of interpolating operators with…

We study the decay properties of a $D(2900)$ state, with spin-parity $0^-$, whose existence was proposed in an earlier study of the $D K\bar K$ and coupled channel system. It was found in the former work that a $D$-meson appears with a mass…

Identifying a zero-range exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, a rich spectrum of molecules is formed. We argue that chiral symmetry and large-$N_c$…

We report the observation of a new $D_{sJ}$ meson produced in $B^{+} \to \bar{D}^{0} D_{sJ} \to \bar{D}^{0} D^{0} K^{+}$. This state has a mass of $M=2708 \pm 9 ^{+11}_{-10} \rm{MeV}/{\it c}^{2}$, a width $\Gamma = 108 \pm 23 ^{+36}_{-31}…

The strong decays of charm-strange baryons up to N=2 shell are studied in a chiral quark model. The theoretical predictions for the well determined charm-strange baryons, $\Xi_c^*(2645)$, $\Xi_c(2790)$ and $\Xi_c(2815)$, are in good…
