We explore the potential of precision spectroscopy of heavy exotic atoms where electrons are substituted by negative hadrons to detect new force carriers with hadronic couplings. The selected transitions are unaffected by nuclear contact…
The nature of the $X(3872)$ and other exotic hadrons has been a subject of extensive investigation. While various theoretical models have been proposed, experimental evidence suggests that the $X(3872)$ may be a mixture state of a hadronic…
We investigate the exotic hadrons consisting of two light quarks and two heavy antiquarks, $(q\bar Q)$-$(q\bar Q)$. The spin-dependent term between quarks is known to give an attraction to the $ud$ spin-0 component in the isospin-0 $u\bar c…
With a quark level interaction, we give a unified description of the loosely bound molecular systems composed of the heavy flavor hadrons $(\bar{D},\bar{D}^*)$, $(\Lambda_c, \Sigma_c, \Sigma_c^*)$, and $(\Xi_c, \Xi_c^\prime,\Xi_c^*)$. Using…
The paper is devoted to the $\bar{K}NNN$ system, which is an exotic system consisting of an antikaon and three nucleons. Dynamically exact four-body Faddeev-type equations were solved and characteristics of the quasi-bound state in the…
In this talk, multiquarks are studied microscopically in a standard quark model. In pure ground-state pentaquarks the short-range interaction is computed and it is shown to be repulsive, a narrow pentaquark cannot be in the groundstate. As…
We study charmed baryon resonances which are generated dynamically within a unitary meson-baryon coupled channel model that treats the heavy pseudoscalar and vector mesons on equal footing as required by heavy-quark symmetry. It is an…
Hard processes in nucleus-nucleus interactions at relativistic energies are reviewed with emphasis on recent PHENIX results from the first run of the Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collider at BNL. The observed suppression of moderately high $p_T$…
A relativistic approach to describe nuclear and in general strongly interacting matter is introduced and discussed. Here, not only the nuclear forces but also the masses of the nucleons are generated through meson fields. Within this…
We use a unitary coupled-channel model to study the $\bar{D} \Lambda_c - \bar{D} \Sigma_c$ interactions. In our calculation, SU(3) flavor symmetry is applied to determine the coupling constants. Several resonant and bound states with…
Quantum Hadrodynamics provides a useful framework for investigating dense matter, yet it breaks down easily when strangeness carrying baryons are introduced into the calculations, as the baryon effective masses become negative due to large…
We predict a new three-body hadronic molecule composed of antikaon $\bar{K}$, anticharm meson $\bar{D}$, and nucleon $N$ with spin/parity $J^{P} = 1/2^{+}$ and isospin $I = 1/2$. This state behaves like an explicit pentaquark state because…
We evaluate the s-wave interaction of pseudoscalar and vector mesons with both charm and beauty to investigate the possible existence of molecular $BD$, $B^*D$, $BD^*$, $B^*D^*$, $B\bar D$, $B^*\bar D$, $B\bar D^*$ or $B^* \bar D^*$ meson…
Exotic hadrons are important because their existence or absence can provide important clues to understanding how QCD makes hadrons from quarks and gluons. The first experimentally confirmed exotic will be the first hadron containing both…
In the last decades, the number of exotic candidates which are beyond the conventional quark model has grown dramatically. At the same time, numerous theoretical interpretations, such as tetraquark, hybrid, hadroquarkonium and hadronic…
In the framework of the one-boson-exchange model, we explore whether the intermediate and short-range forces from $\sigma/\omega$-exchange can be strong enough to bind heavy molecular states. $\Lambda_cD(\bar{D})$, and…
Discriminating hadronic molecular and multi-quark states is a long standing problem in hadronic physics. We propose here to utilize relativistic heavy ion collisions to resolve this problem, as exotic hadron yields are expected to be…
The quark-meson coupling model, based on a mean-field description of non-overlapping nucleon bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of $\sigma$, $\omega$ and $\rho$ mesons, is extended to investigate the change of hadron properties in…
The exclusive processes are considered, where a point-like source of heavy quark-antiquark pairs $Q \bar Q$, e.g. their electromagnetic current, produces a pair consisting of a heavy quarkoniumlike exotic meson (tetraquark) or baryon…
In this study, we explore the interactions between mesons and baryons in the open heavy sectors to identify potential triple-heavy molecular pentaquarks. We derive the meson-baryon interaction potentials using the vector meson exchange…
