Understanding the nature of the hidden charm pentaquark(like) signals in the LHCb data for $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ is a central problem of hadron spectroscopy. We propose a scenario completely different from previous ones such as…

We discuss the mechanisms that lead to $\Lambda(1405)$ production in the $\pi^-p\to K^0\pi\Sigma$ reaction. The problem has gained renewed interest after different works converge to the conclusion that there are two resonances around the…

The processes of $K^-p \to \pi^0 \pi^0 \Sigma^0$ and $K^- p \to \pi^0 \Lambda(1405)$ are studied within the effective Lagrangian approach. In addition to the ``background" contribution from the $u$-channel nucleon pole term, contribution…

The reaction pp->p K0 pi+ Lambda has been studied with the ANKE spectrometer at COSY-Juelich at a beam momentum of 3.65 GeV/c in order to search for a possible signal of the pentaquark Theta+(1540), decaying into the p K0 system. By…

We evaluate the contribution to the $X(3872)$ width from a triangle mechanism in which the $X$ decays into $D^{*0}\bar{D}^0 -cc$, then the $D^{*0} (\bar{D}^{*0})$ decays into $D^0 \pi^0$ ($\bar{D}^0 \pi^0$) and the $D^0 \bar{D}^0$ fuse to…

We study the $J/\psi \rightarrow K^+ K^- f_0(980)(a_0(980))$ reaction and find that the mechanism to produce this decay develops a triangle singularity around $M_{\rm inv}(K^- f_0/K^- a_0) \approx 1515$~MeV. The differential width $d\Gamma…

The three pentaquark states, $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$, and $P_{c}(4457)$, discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in 2019, can be nicely arranged into a multiplet of $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)}$ of seven molecules dictated by…

The B^0_s -> K^+K^- decay is the U-spin partner of B^0_d -> pi^+\pi^- and allows a determination of the angle gamma of the unitarity triangle of the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix. Using updated information on the branching ratio and the…

In this research the weak decay of $B^+_c$ decays to the $K^+K^-\pi^+$ final state, which is observed by LHCb collaboration for the first time, is calculated in the quasi-two-body decays which takes into account the $B^0_s$, $\chi_{c0}$ and…

The scattering lengths of the pi Sigma systems are key quantities in understanding the structure of the Lambda(1405) resonance and the subthreshold extrapolation of the barK N interaction. We demonstrate that the pi Sigma scattering lengths…

Using new experimental data on photoproduction and $\Lambda_b^0$ decays, we derive constraints on the properties of the LHCb $P_c$ states. We conclude that $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4440)$ can be described as $\Sigma_c\bar D$,…
