Nucleon and pion electromagnetic form factors are evaluated in the spacelike region within a light-front constituent quark model, where eigenfunctions of a mass operator, reproducing a large set of hadron energy levels, are adopted and…
We examine the relevance of the heavy quarks masses in the perturbative QCD description of hard interactions where charged kaons are produced in the final state. We extract a set of parton-to-kaon hadronization probabilities from a next to…
In central collisions at relativistic heavy ion colliders like the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider RHIC/Brookhaven and the Large Hadron Collider LHC (in its heavy ion mode) at CERN/Geneva, one aims at detecting a new form of hadronic matter…
We discuss a scenario in which the $P_c(4450)^{+}$ heavy pentaquark is a $\Sigma_c \bar{D}^*$-$\Lambda_{c}(2595) \bar{D}$ molecule. The $\Lambda_{c1} \bar{D} \to \Sigma_c \bar{D}^*$ transition is mediated by the exchange of a pion almost on…
The binding energies of di- hadronic states have been calculated assuming a 'molecular' interaction provided by the asymptotic expression of the residual confined gluon exchange potential between the component hadrons in the system. Meson-…
Heavy hadrons are analyzed in a random and dilute gas of instantons. We derive the instanton-induced interactions between heavy and light quarks at next to leading order in the heavy quark mass and in the planar approximation, and discuss…
Similar to the covalent bond in chemical molecules induced by shared electrons, we proposed in [Commun. Theor. Phys. 74 (2022) 125201] the hadronic covalent bond induced by shared light quarks to explain the $T_{cc}(3875)$ and the deuteron.…
The properties of strange hadronic matter are studied in the context of the modified quark-meson coupling model using two substantially different sets of hyperon-hyperon ($YY$) interactions. The first set is based on the Nijmegen hard core…

A model is developed for the hadronic and electromagnetic interaction in the two-nucleon system above pion threshold in the framework of meson, nucleon and $\Delta$ degrees of freedom. It is based on time-ordered perturbation theory and…
We show that the phenomenology of isospin effects on heavy ion reactions at intermediate energies (few AGeV range) is extremely rich and can allow a ``direct'' study of the covariant structure of the isovector interaction in the hadron…
We explore the quark mass effects on inclusive hadron production in proton-nucleus collisions at high energies. We consider two processes. First, we compute the single inclusive cross-section for production of hadrons with open heavy…
We study the hadronic molecular states with the quark content $bc\bar{s}\bar{q}$ by investigating the interactions of the $\bar{B}_s D$, $\bar{B} D_s$, $\bar{B}_s^* D$, $\bar{B}^* D_s$, $\bar{B}_s D^*$, $\bar{B} D_s^*$, $\bar{B}_s^* D^*$,…
