Single pion transitions of S wave to S wave, P wave to S wave and P wave to P wave heavy baryons are analyzed in the framework of the Heavy Quark Symmetry limit (HQS). We use a constituent quark model picture for the light diquark system…
Masses and decay constants of mesons containing a single $c$ or $b$ quark are described within the framework of heavy-quark symmetry. The $B_s^* - B_s$ and $\bar B^{*0} - \bar B^0$ mass splittings are found equal to within a fraction of an…
An effective field theory of quarks, gluons, and pions, with the number $N$ of colors treated as large, is proposed as a basis for calculations of hadronic phenomena at moderate energies. The qualitative consequences of the large $N$ limit…
The couplings and interactions of baryons containing a heavy quark are related by light quark spin-flavor symmetry in the large $N$ limit. The single pion coupling constant which determines all heavy quark baryon-pion couplings is equal to…
Electromagnetic interactions are introduced in the effective chiral Lagrangian for heavy mesons which includes light vector particles. A suitable notion of vector meson dominance is formulated. The constraints on the heavy meson -light…
We investigate heavy-light quark systems within the framework of the QCD instanton vacuum, focusing on the $N_f = 1$ light flavor case. We derive an effective heavy-light quark interaction from the low-energy QCD partition function and…
In gauge theories in the limit of a large number Nc of colors, baryons are usually described as heavy solitonic objects with mass of order Nc. We discuss an alternative large Nc description both directly in the field theory as well as using…
We show that processes involving pions that remain very near their mass-shell can be reliably computed in the pionless effective field theory, with the pion integrated in as a heavy field. As an application, we compute the pion-deuteron…
More than 99% of the mass of the visible universe is made up of protons and neutrons. Both particles are much heavier than their quark and gluon constituents, and the Standard Model of particle physics should explain this difference. We…

We study the electromagnetic form factors of the lowest-lying singly heavy baryons in a pion mean-field approach, which is also known as the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model. In the limit of the heavy-quark mass, the dynamics inside a…
The spectrum and dominant strong decay properties of the doubly heavy baryons are revisited by using a chiral effective model with chiral partner structure. By regarding the doubly heavy baryons in the ground states and light angular…

In this paper we give a computation of the mass spectrum of mesons and baryons. By this computation we show that there is a consecutive numbering of the mass spectrum of mesons and baryons. We show that in this numbering many stable mesons…
The application of quark models to the spectra and strong and electromagnetic couplings of baryons is reviewed. This review focuses on calculations which attempt a global description of the masses and decay properties of baryons, although…
The proton mass arises from spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and the formation of constituent quarks. Their dynamics cannot be tested by proton tomography but only by studying excited baryons. However, the number of excited baryons…
Using the Bethe-Salpeter (B-S) equations for heavy baryons Lambda_Q, Sigma_Q, Xi_Q and Omega_Q (Q=b or c), which were established in previous work, we calculate the heavy quark distribution functions in these baryons. The numerical results…
The study of heavy-light meson masses should provide a way to determine renormalized quark masses and other properties of heavy-light mesons. In the context of lattice QCD, for example, it is possible to calculate hadronic quantities for…
The spectroscopy of light, strange baryons have been an important aspect with still unknown resonances and intrinsic baryonic properties. The present document is focused on the $\Delta$ baryons unlike earlier work, here all the four isospin…
