We study the isospin breaking in the reactions $\chi_{c1} \to \pi^0 \pi^+ \pi^-$ and $\chi_{c1} \to \pi^0 \pi^0 \eta$ and its relation to the $a_0(980) - f_0(980)$ mixing, which was measured by the BESIII Collaboration. We show that the…

We study the possible interpretation of the two exotic resonances $J^{PC}= 1^{-+}$ at 1400 and 1600 MeV, claimed to be observed by BNL, decaying respectively into $\eta\pi$, $\eta'\pi$, $f_{1}\pi$ and $\rho\pi$. These objects are…

We investigate the A$(\pi^+,K^+){_\Lambda}$A reaction within a covariant model. We consider those amplitudes which are described by creation, propagation and decay into relevant channel of $N^*$(1650), $N^*$(1710), and $N^*$(1720)…

The phi(1020) radiative decays form a good playground for study of the low-lying a0(980) and f0(980) scalar mesons. The complicated interplay of kaon loop mechanism, isoscalar meson mixing and momentum dependence of the effective couplings…

Two competing models for strong hadronic decays, the $^3P_0$ and $^3S_1$ models, are currently in use. Attempts to rule out one or the other have been hindered by a poor understanding of final state interactions and by ambiguities in the…

Strange multi-baryonic clusters are an exiting possibility to explore the properties of cold dense baryonic matter. Recent results on searches for exotic narrow resonances with $\Lambda$ hyperon subsystems are reviewed. The observation of…
