We study the role of diquarks in light baryons through point to point baryon correlators. We contrast results from quenched simulations with ones with two flavors of dynamical overlap fermions. The scalar, pseudoscalar and axial vector…
Tetraquarks are studied with an approximation which reduces the in- ternal degrees of freedom of the system, using both finite differences and scattering theory. The existence of bound states and resonances is inspected and the masses and…
The structure of $d^*(2380)$ is re-studied with the single cluster structure in the chiral SU(3) quark model which has successfully been employed to explain the $N-N$ scattering data and the binding energy of deuteron. The binding behavior…
During the last three years strong experimental evidence from $B$ and charm factories has been accumulating for the existence of exotic hadronic quarkonia, narrow resonances which cannot be made from a quark and an antiquark. Their masses…
Spectrum of the doubly heavy tetraquarks, $bb\bar q\bar q$, is studied in a constituent quark model. Four-body problem is solved in a variational method where the real scaling technique is used to identify resonant states above the…
The $\Lambda$ baryon spectrum is studied within the SU(3) flavor symmetry in a constituent quark model. We found that it is rather difficult to accommodate some negative-parity $\Lambda$ resonances as single $q^2s$ ($q = u,\,d$ quarks)…

Inspired by recent observation of the first doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}$, we apply linear Regge relation and mass scaling to study low-lying mass spectra of the doubly heavy tetraquark in heavy-diquark-light-antidiquark picture. The…
We introduce the hypothesis that diquarks and antidiquarks in tetraquarks are separated by a potential barrier. We show that this notion can answer satisfactorily long standing questions challenging the diquark-antidiquark model of exotic…
The structure of light diquarks plays a crucial role in the formation of exotic hadrons beyond the conventional quark model, especially in their line shapes of bottomed hadron decays. We study the two-body hadronic weak decays of bottomed…
