Two bottom $\Sigma_b(6097)^\pm$ baryons were observed in the final states $\Lambda_b^0\pi^-$ and $\Lambda_b^0\pi^+$ in $pp$ collision by LHCb collaboration, whose masses and widths were measured. In a $^{3}P_{0}$ model, the strong decay…
New BABAR results on B mesons and quarkonia are presented: an analysis of B+ --> X(3872)K+ and B0 --> X(3872)K0 decays with X(3872) --> J/Psi pi+pi-, a precise measurement of the B mass difference Delta mB = m(B0) - m(B+) and a study of…
Decays of baryon resonances in the second and the third resonance region into N pi0 pi0 are studied by photoproduction of two neutral pions off protons. Partial decay widths of N* and Delta* resonances decaying into Delta(1232) pi,…
We report on a study of $B$ mesons decaying into one of the narrow P-wave charm resonances, $D_2^{*}(2460)^{0}$ and $D_1(2420)^0$. Our preliminary results are based on 89 million \BB pairs collected with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…
We study the weak decay of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon into $J/\psi\ \phi\ \Lambda$, a process that is particularly well suited to analyze the physics of some of the recently observed or theoretically predicted exotic hadrons, as one expects to…
In this talk we present a short review of recent developments concerning the interaction of vector mesons with baryons and with nuclei. We begin with the hidden gauge formalism for the interaction of vector mesons, then review results for…
The recent discovery of a narrow resonance in D_s+pi^0 by the BABAR collaboration is consistent with the interpretation of a heavy J^P(0+,1+) spin multiplet. This system is the parity partner of the groundstate (0-,1-) multiplet, which we…
Recent measurements in the charm sector at BaBar are reviewed. The scope of the presentation includes the observation of two new narrow mesons in the D+(s)pi0 and D+(s)pi0gamma final states as well as the measurement of D0-D0bar mixing…
The strong decays of the $P$-wave $\Sigma_b$, $\Xi_b'$ and $\Omega_b$ baryons are investigated with a constituent quark model in the $j$-$j$ coupling scheme. The results show that the newly observed $\Sigma_b(6097)$ and $\Xi_b(6227)$ states…
Using a chiral unitary approach for meson-baryon scattering in the strangeness zero sector, where the $N^*(1535)$ and $\Delta^*(1700)$ resonances are dynamically generated, we study the reactions $\gamma p \to \pi^0 \eta p$ and $\gamma p…
We present the first evidence for B semileptonic decays into the charmed baryon Lambda_c+ based on 420 fb-1 of data collected at the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+e- storage rings. Events are tagged by fully…
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 $ND\bar{D}^*/N\bar{D}D^*$…
The first observation of a new b baryon via its strong decay into Xi(b)^- pi^+ (plus charge conjugates) is reported. The measurement uses a data sample of pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC,…
In this paper we examine the interaction of \bar B N, \bar B \Delta, \bar B^* N and \bar B^* \Delta states, together with their coupled channels, using a mapping from the light meson sector. The assumption that the heavy quarks act as…
We present strong experimental evidence for the existence of a nonstrange $\it NN$-decoupled dibaryon with a mass of about 1956 MeV stable against strong decay, which is a very likely candidate for long-sought multiquark hadrons with the…
We study J^P=(3/2)^- baryon resonances as generated by chiral coupled-channel dynamics. Parameter free results are obtained in terms of the Weinberg-Tomozawa term predicting the leading s-wave interaction strength of Goldstone bosons with…
The elastic and radiative pion(+)-proton scattering are studied in the framework of an effective Lagrangian model for the Delta^{++} resonance and its interactions. The finite width effects of this spin-3/2 resonance are introduced in the…
We study the meson-baryon interaction with $J^P=1/2^-$ using the hidden-gauge Lagrangians and mixing pseudoscalar meson-baryon with the vector meson-baryon states in a coupled channels scheme with $\pi N$, $\eta N$, $K\Lambda$, $K\Sigma$,…
We reanalyze the dissociation process of the $J/\psi$ by $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons into $D + \bar{D}$, $D^* + \bar{D}$, $D + \bar{D}^*$, and $D^* + \bar{D}^*$ within a meson exchange model. In addition to the dissociation mechanisms…
We calculate the shape of the $\pi\Sigma$ and $\bar K N$ invariant mass distributions in the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi\, \pi\Sigma$ and $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi \,\bar K N$ decays that are dominated by the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. The weak…
