The $X(3872)$ is theoretically predicted to have a spin-0 partner state denoted as $X_0$. Assuming the $X_0$ as a $D\bar{D}$ molecular bound state, we calculate the decay widths of $X_0\to VV$ and $X_0 \to PP$ ($V$ and $P$ stand for light…

We study the hadronic $\bar B^0_s$ decays based on the existence of the resonant state $f_J(2220)$. In particular, we are able to explain the unexpected large experimental result of ${\cal B}(\bar B^0_s\to J/\psi p\bar p)…

We study the D^{+} -> sigma pi^{+}, D^{+} -> rho^0 pi^{+}, B^{-} -> sigma pi^{-}, B^{-} -> rho^0 pi^{-} and \bar{B}^0 -> rho^{\pm} pi^{\mp} decays in a valence quark triangle model, incorporating chiral symmetries. We find a good agreement…

The decay width of $N(1535)\rightarrow N\eta$ is as large as that of $N(1535)\rightarrow N\pi$. This is in evident conflict with simple expectations based on flavor symmetry and phase space. Similarly, the decay width of $\Lambda(1670)…

The annihilation process p bar(p) -> p D0 bar(Lambda)_c(2286) is studied taking into account t-channel D0, D*0 meson exchange and the resonance contribution of Lambda_c(2286) and Lambda_c(2940) baryons. We assume that the Lambda_c(2940)…

We study the mechanism of the weak decay process of Xi_b^0 into D^0 with a meson-baryon pair. It is shown that the dominant component of the prompt weak decay produces the meson-baryon pair with the spectator strange quark being transferred…

We study the non-leptonic two-body weak decays of $\Lambda_c^+(2286)\to {\bf B}_n M$ with ${\bf B}_n$ ($M$) representing as the baryon (meson) states. Based on the $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry, we can describe most of the data reexamined by the…

Using the CLEO II detector at CESR, we observe 500 $\Lambda l^+$ pairs consistent with the semileptonic decay $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda l^+ \nu_{l}$. We measure $\sigma (e^+ e^- \to \Lambda_c X) \dot {cal B}(\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda l \nu_{l})…

The 1/N_c expansion of QCD provides a valuable semiquantitative tool to study baryon scattering amplitudes and the short-lived baryon resonances embedded within them. A generalization of methods originally applied in chiral soliton models…

Positive parity meson states D*_{s0}(2317) and D_{s1}(2460) have masses slightly below the DK threshold. Therefore, both states can strongly decay only into isospin violating decays D_{s1}(2460) --> Ds \pi \pi, D_{s1}(2460) --> Ds* \pi 0…
