The two-particle correlation technique applied to $K^-\Lambda$ pairs in pp collisions at LHC recently provided the most precise data on the strangeness $S=-2$ meson-baryon interaction. In this letter, we use for the first time femtoscopic…
The search for a quasi bound $\eta$ meson in atomic nuclei is reviewed. This tentative state is studied theoretically as well as experimentally. The theory starts from elastic $\eta$ nucleon scattering which is derived from production data…
The nature of the $ \Lambda(1405) $ has been a puzzle for decades, whether it is a standard three-quark baryon, a hybrid baryon or a baryon-meson molecule. More information on the decay channels of this particle and its strong, weak and…
The pseudoscalar meson-baryon octet interaction is studied within a nonlinear realized Lagrangian, and then the Bethe-Salpeter equation is solved in the unitary coupled-channel approximation. In sector of strangeness $S=-1$ and isospin…
The $\eta$ meson can be bound to atomic nuclei. Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions $dp\to{^3\text{He}}\eta$ and $dd\to{^4\text{He}}\eta$. For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons…
Recently, a new excited baryon state, $\Omega(2012)$, was observed in the invariant mass spectra of $K^-\Xi^0$ and $K^0_S \Xi^-$ by the Belle Collaboration. This state has a narrow width ($\sim 6$ MeV) compared to other baryon states with a…
The anti-triplet charmed baryon decays with the light scalar mesons are rarely measured, whereas the recent observation of the Cabibbo-favored $\Lambda_c^+\to \Lambda\eta\pi^+$ decay hints a possible $\Lambda_c^+\to\Lambda…
The $\Lambda_c(2940)$, an open-charm baryon discovered in 2006, has sparked interest due to its ``low mass puzzle'', paralleling the $X(3872)$ in the charmoniumlike sector. Both states challenge conventional hadronic interpretations, with…
We propose that the $X(3915)$ observed in the $J/\psi\,\omega$ channel is the same state as the $\chi_{c2}(3930)$, and the $X(3960)$, observed in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ channel, is an $S$-wave $D_s^+ D_s^-$ hadronic molecule. In addition, the…
A large number of hypernuclei, where a considerable fraction of nucleons is replaced by strange baryons, and even pure hyperonic species are expected to be bound. Though, the hypernuclear landscape remains largely unknown because of scarce…
The LHCb Collaboration recently reported the observation of a new excited bottom baryon $\Xi_b(6227)^0$ and announced an improvement in the measurements related to the previously observed $\Xi_b(6227)^-$ state. We conduct an analysis for…
The $\Xi$ single-particle potential obtained in nuclear matter with the next-to-leading order baryon-baryon interactions in chiral effective field theory is applied to finite nuclei by an improved local-density approximation method. As a…
The newly discovered exotic $\Theta$ baryon of mass 1540 MeV (and very small width) truly has a very low mass, if it is a pentaquark system of even parity. A schematic model in which the coherent interaction of $u\bar s$ and $d\bar s$ pairs…
Hypernuclei are bound states of neutrons, protons and one or two hyperons, thus extending the nuclear landscape to a third dimension. They also encode information about the baryon-baryon and three-baryon interactions. Here, we review recent…
Very recently, a new hadronic exotic state $\eta_1(1855)$ at the invariant mass spectrum of $\eta\eta^{'}$ was observed by the BESIII Collaboration. According to its properties, such as the spectroscopy and decay width, the $\eta_1(1855)$…
We determine baryon-baryon bound states in 3+1 dimensional ${\rm SU}(3)$ lattice QCD with two flavors, $4\times 4$ spin matrices, and in an imaginary time formulation. For small hopping parameter, $\kappa>0$, and large glueball mass (strong…
Within the framework of the local hidden gauge approach, we have studied the near-threshold interaction of the $D^* \bar{D}^*$ channel with quantum numbers $I(J^{PC}) = 0(0^{++})$, $0(2^{++})$, $1(0^{++})$, and $1(2^{++})$, respectively.…
We investigate the charmed baryon production reaction $p\bar{p}\rightarrow\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c$ in an effective Lagrangian approach. Besides the $t$-channel $D^0$ and $D^{*0}$ mesons exchanges, the $s$-channel $Y(4630)$ meson exchange…
Involving of elastic rescattering and annihilation of quark-antiquark pairs in a final state allows us to explain a dependence of ratio for cross sections of $\eta'$ and $\eta$ mesons versus transfer momentum in charge exchange reactions.…
We evaluate theoretically the interaction of the open bottom and strange systems $\bar B\bar K$, $\bar B^* \bar K$, $\bar B\bar K^*$ and $\bar B^*\bar K^*$ to look for possible bound states which could correspond to exotic…
