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-$N_c$…
Prompted by the recent surprising results in QCD spectroscopy, we extend to heavy flavors the hadron mass relations showing that the constituent quark mass differences and ratios have the same values when obtained from mesons and baryons.…
In this work, the spectra of the prospective exotic hidden-charm and hidden-bottom baryonium, viz. the baryon-antibaryon states, with $J^{PC}=0^{--}$ and $0^{+-}$ are investigated in the framework of QCD sum rules. The non-perturbative…
Two structures are observed close to the kinematic threshold in the $\Xi_b^0 \pi^-$ mass spectrum in a sample of proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. In…
The nature of the $ \Lambda(1405) $ has been a puzzle for decades, whether it is a standard three-quark baryon, a hybrid baryon or a baryon-meson molecule. More information on the decay channels of this particle and its strong, weak and…
We explore quark interactions mediated by new gauge bosons of masses in the 0.3 - 50 GeV range. A tight upper limit on the gauge coupling of light Z' bosons is imposed by the anomaly cancellation conditions in conjunction with collider…
Recently LHCb reported the discovery of four extremely narrow excited $\Omega_b$ baryons decaying into $\Xi_b^0 K^-$. We interpret these baryons as bound states of a $b$-quark and a $P$-wave $ss$-diquark. For such a system there are exactly…
From a Faddeev calculation for the $\pi-(\Delta\rho)_{N_{5/2^{-}}(1675)}$ system we show the plausible existence of three dynamically generated $I(J^{P})=3/2 (5/2^{+})$ baryon states below 2.3 GeV whereas only two resonances,…
We calculate the masses of baryons containing one, two, or three heavy quarks using lattice QCD. We consider all possible combinations of charm and bottom quarks, and compute a total of 36 different states with $J^P = \frac12^+$ and $J^P =…
We evaluate pseudoscalar, vector, spin 1/2 and spin 3/2 baryon masses predicted by lattice QCD with Wilson quarks in the valence (quenched) approximation for a range of different values of lattice spacing, lattice volume and quark mass.…
Experiments with electromagnetic probes are promising to search for baryon resonances that have been predicted by quark models but have not yet been observed. Data sets from different experiments show interesting resonance structures…
The recent observation of Sigma_b^{+-} (uub and ddb) and Xi_b^- (dsb) baryons at the Tevatron within 2 MeV of our theoretical predictions provides a strong motivation for applying the same theoretical approach, based on modeling the color…
In this work, we compute masses and magnetic moments of the heavy baryons and tetraquarks with one and two open heavy flavors in a unified framework of MIT bag model. Using the parameters of MIT bag model, we confirm that an extra binding…
Recent lattice QCD calculations have reported evidence for the existence of a bound state with strangeness -2 and baryon number 2 at quark masses somewhat higher than the physical values. By developing a description of the dependence of…
We discuss the mass splittings for the $S$-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the $QQQq\bar{q}$ $(Q=b,c;q=u,d,s)$ configuration which is a mirror structure of $Q\bar{Q}qqq$. The latter configuration is related with the nature of…
Inspired by the report of D0 Collaboration on the state $X(5568)$ with four different flavors, a similar state, $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$ is investigated in the present work. The advantage of looking for this state over the state $X(5568)$ with…
In this paper, we presented the mass spectra of the doubly heavy $\Omega$ baryons containing one light (strange) quark and two heavy (charm and bottom) quarks. Our predicted masses can be consider to determine the $J^p$ value for the…
We report on searches in deep inelastic $ep$ scattering for narrow baryonic states decaying into $\Xi^-\pi^-, \Xi^-\pi^+, \KS p$ and their charge conjugates, at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV. No signal for a new narrow baryonic…
The reaction p p $\to$ p ${\pi^+}X$ was studied at different incident energies around T$_{p}$=2 GeV. Narrow baryonic structures were observed in the missing mass M$_{X}$ and in the invariant mass M$_{p\pi^{+}}$. The masses of these…
We study the quark-mass dependence of J^P = \frac12^- s-wave and J^P = \frac32^- d-wave baryon resonances. Parameter-free results are obtained in terms of the leading order chiral Lagrangian. In the 'heavy' SU(3) limit with m_\pi =m_K…
