The equation of state of QCD matter at high densities is relevant for neutron star structure and for neutron star mergers and has been a focus of recent work. We show how lattice QCD simulations, free of sign problems, can provide an upper…
The parametric error on the QCD-coupling can be a dominant source of uncertainty in several important observables. One way to extract the coupling is to compare high order perturbative computations with lattice evaluated moments of heavy…
The observation of new $\Omega_{c}=ssc$ states by LHCb \cite{Aaij:2017nav} and the confirmation of four of them by Belle \cite{Yelton:2017qxg} may represent an important milestone in our understanding of the quark organization inside…
Different experiments have confirmed that the $D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ mesons are very narrow states located, respectively, below the $DK$ and $D^{\ast}K$ thresholds. This is markedly in contrast with the expectations of…
Employing the Bonn-Gatchina partial wave analysis framework (PWA), we have analyzed HADES data of the reaction $p(3.5GeV)+p\to pK^{+}\Lambda$. This reaction might contain information about the kaonic cluster "$ppK^-$" via its decay into…
The newly observed $Z^+ (4433)$ resonance by BELLE is believed to be a tetraquark bound state made up of $(cu)(\bar c \bar d)$. We propose the bottomed analog of this bound state, namely, by replacing one of the charm quarks by a bottom…
We study the $C=1$, $S=-2$, $I=0$ sector, where five excited $\Omega_c$ states have been recently observed by the LHCb Collaboration. We start from a recently developed unitarized baryon-meson model that takes, as bare baryon-meson…
We extend HPQCD's earlier $n_f=4$ lattice-QCD analysis of the ratio of $\overline{\mathrm{MSB}}$ masses of the $b$ and $c$ quark to include results from finer lattices (down to 0.03fm) and a new calculation of QED contributions to the mass…
The observation of $Z_c(3900)$ by the BESIII collaboration in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi\pi^\pm$ in $e^+e^-\to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ at the center of mass 4.260 GeV suggests the existence of a charged $\bar D D^*+D\bar D^*$…
The mass of the lowest spin-zero, strangeness-$(-2)$ flavor singlet state in the dibaryon sector has been calculated in quenched QCD on $16^3\times32$ and $24^3\times32$ lattices at $\beta=5.85$ to study whether the energy of the proposed…
Recent results on the equation of state from lattice QCD are reviewed. The lattice technique and previous results are shortly discussed. New results for physical quark masses and two sets of lattice spacings are presented. The pressure,…
We study the $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_{c}\bar{D}^{0}K^{-}$ and $\Lambda_{b}\to \Lambda_{c}D^{-}\bar{K}^{0}$ decays which proceed via a Cabibbo and $N_c$ favored process of external emission, and we determine the $\bar{D}^{0}K^{-}$ and…
A generalized linear sigma model is employed to study the quark structure of low lying scalar as well as pseudoscalar states. The model allows the possible mixing of quark anti-quark states with others made of two quarks and two antiquarks…
We used an effective Lagrangian approach to investigate the production of the anticharmed pentaquark state $P_{\bar{c}s}^{(*)-}$ with the minimal quark content $\bar{c}sudd$ in the $\Lambda_b^0$ decay and its decay into the $\Lambda…
We investigate how the QCD equation of state can be reconstructed by a continous mass distribution of non-interacting ideal components. We find that adjusting the mass scale as a function of the temperature leads to results which are…
Recently LHCb experiments confirmed the findings of the two $P_c$ states in the $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p \pi^-$ decays. In the present work, we investigate both the $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi K^- p$ and the $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p \pi^-$…
Heavy quark symmetry can help us identify the internal structure of hadrons and predict new particles. In this study, we examine the strong decay modes of the observed $\Lambda_b^0(6146)$ and $\Lambda_b^0(6152)$, assuming these two states…
