Observations of massive pulsars suggest that the central density of neutron stars can exceed several times the nuclear saturation density, creating a favourable environment for the appearance of exotic states, such as strange and…
We have studied the meson-baryon interaction in coupled channels with the same quantum numbers of $\Xi_{bc}$. The interaction is attractive in some channels and of sufficient intensity to lead to bound states or resonances. We use a model…
Properties of multi-antikaonic nuclei (MKN), where several numbers of $K^-$ mesons are bound, are studied in the relativistic mean-field model, combined with chiral dynamics for kaonic part of the thermodynamic potential. The density…
In the framework of the reaction operator approach we calculate and resum the multiple elastic scattering of a fast $q \bar{q}$ system traversing dense nuclear matter. We derive the collisional broadening of the meson's transverse momentum…
We investigate theoretically baryon systems made of three hadrons which contain one nucleon and one D meson, and in addition another meson, $\bar{D}, K$ or $\bar{K}$. The systems are studied using the Fixed Center Approximation to the…
Both unitary chiral theories and lattice QCD simulations show that the $DK$ interaction is attractive and can form a bound state, namely, $D^*_{s0}(2317)$. Assuming the validity of the heavy antiquark-diquark symmetry (HADS), the…
Some recent experimental results obtained in collisions of heavy nuclei ($\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV) at BNL Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider (RHIC) are discussed. The probes of dense matter created in heavy-ion collision by quarkonia, $D$ and $B$…
The exploration of energies above the open-flavor threshold in the meson spectra has led to the appearance of unexpected states difficult to accommodate in the naive picture of a bound state of a quark and an antiquark. Many of such states…
We investigate the possibilities of using measurements in present and future experiments on heavy ion collisions to answer some longstanding problems in hadronic physics, namely identifying hadronic molecular states and exotic hadrons with…
Among the newly observed structures in the heavy quarkonium mass region, some are proposed to be hadronic molecules. We investigate the consequences of heavy quark flavor symmetry on these heavy meson hadronic molecules. The symmetry allows…
The recent observation of two hidden-charm pentaquark states by LHCb collaborations prompted us to investigate the exotic states close to the $\bar{D}\Lambda_{\rm c}$, $\bar{D}^{\ast}\Lambda_{\rm c}$, $\bar{D}\Sigma_{\rm c}$,…
The strange pentaquarks with hidden heavy quark pair ($q^3c\bar c$ and $q^3b \bar b$) are investigated by the coupled-channel quark cluster model. Two types of the $q^3$ color-octet configurations are found to provide the attraction, which…
In this work, we study the interaction between a nucleon and a $P$-wave charmed meson in the $T$ doublet by exchanging a pion. Our calculations indicate that a nucleon and a $P$-wave charmed meson with $J^P=0^+$ or $J^P=1^+$ in the $T$…
In this paper the masses and decay processes of several new strange, charmed and bottomed exotic pentaquarks are predicted. Multiquarks are studied microscopically in a standard quark model. In pure ground-state pentaquarks the short-range…
In the effective field theory framework the interaction between two heavy hadrons can be decomposed into a long- and a short-range piece. The long-range piece corresponds to the one-pion-exchange potential and is relatively well-known. The…
The nucleon-nucleon problem is studied as a six-quark system in a nonrelativistic chiral constituent quark model where the Hamiltonian contains a linear confinement and a pseudoscalar meson (Goldstone boson) exchange interaction between the…
Motivated by the first observation of the double-charm tetraquark $T_{cc}^+(3875)$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we investigate the nature of $T_{cc}^+$ as an isoscalar $DD^*$ hadronic molecule in a meson-exchange potential model incorporated…
In view of the recent discovery of $T_{cc}$, which can be described as a $DD^*$ molecular state, we perform a study of the $KDD^*$ system, and its extension to studying $KD^*D^*$, where $D^*D^*$ is bound as a spin 1 $T_{cc}$-like state, to…
The possibility of the appearance of $\Delta$ isobars in neutron star matter and the so called {\it $\Delta$ puzzle} is studied in a modified quark meson coupling model where the confining interaction for quarks inside a baryon is…
Experimental evidence has been growing for the existence of both molecular and exotic dibaryons. The former are dominated by hadron and the latter by quark-gluon degrees of freedom. Exotic dihadrons are of particular interest because their…
