We report here differential cross sections for the reaction $\gamma p \to K^{*0}\Sigma^+$ for the first time with high statistics. The measurements were done using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer (CLAS) at Jefferson Lab. Data were…
We present measurements of the Cabibbo-suppressed decays Lambda_c^+ --> Lambda0 K+ and Lambda_c^+ --> Sigma0 K+ (both first observations), Lambda_c^+ --> Sigma+ K+ pi- (seen with large statistics for the first time), Lambda_c^+ --> p K+ K-…
The exclusive reaction $\gamma p \to \bar K^0 K^+ n$ was studied in the photon energy range between 1.6-3.8 GeV searching for evidence of the exotic baryon $\Theta^+(1540)\to nK^+$. The decay to $nK^+$ requires the assignment of strangeness…
We investigate the reaction mechanism of $K^0 \Lambda$ photoproduction off the neutron target, i.e., $\gamma n \to K^0 \Lambda$, in the range of $W\approx 1.6-2.2$ GeV. We employ an effective Lagrangian method at the tree-level Born…
We investigate the reaction of $\gamma N \to K \bar{K} N$ focusing on the photoproduction of $\Lambda(1520)$ and putative exotic $\Theta(1540)$. We consider various background production mechanisms including the production of vector mesons,…

The $\varLambda^0_b \to \varLambda^+_c K^+ K^- \pi^-$ decay is observed for the first time using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=7$ and 8 $\rm{TeV}$ collected by the $\mbox{LHCb}$ detector,…
The data on the reactions K^+Xe --> K^0 \gamma X and K^+Xe --> K^+ \gamma X, obtained with the bubble chamber DIANA, have been analyzed for possible radiative decays of the \Theta^+(1540) baryon: \Theta^+ --> K^0 p \gamma and \Theta^+ -->…
The nature of the Lambda(1405) is discussed based on the unitarised coupled-channels approach with chiral dynamics (chiral unitary model). This approach describes the Kbar N scattering cross sections and the Lambda(1405) spectra…
$\Lambda(1405)$ is one of the interesting particles with its unclear structure and distinct properties. It has a light mass compared to its non-strange counterpart, despite the strange quark it carries. This situation puts the investigation…
A search is performed for the charmless three-body decays of the $\Lambda_b^0$ and $\Xi_b^0$ baryons to the final states $\Lambda h^+h^{\prime -}$, where $h^{(\prime)} = \pi$ or $K$. The analysis is based on a data sample, corresponding to…
We have performed a study of the $\Lambda^0_b \to \eta_c K^- p$ and $\Lambda^0_b \to \eta_c \pi \Sigma$ reactions based on the dominant Cabibbo favored weak decay mechanism. We show that the $K^- p$ produced only couples to $\Lambda^*$…
We explore the possibility of observing the anti-charmed pentaquark state from the $\Theta_c \bar{n} \pi^+$ decay of $B$ meson produced at $B$-factory experiments. We first show that the observed branching ratio of the $B^+$ to $…
Differential cross sections and hyperon polarizations have been measured for $\bar{K}^0 n$, $\pi^0 \Lambda$, and $\pi^0 \Sigma^0$ production in $K^- p$ interactions at eight $K^-$ momenta between 514 and 750 MeV/$c$. The experiment detected…
A recent successful observation of a dense and deeply bound \bar{K} nuclear system, K^-pp, in the p + p \rightarrow K^+ + K^-pp reaction in a DISTO experiment indicates that the double-\bar{K} dibaryon, K^-K^-pp, which was predicted to be a…
Polarization properties of strange baryons produced in pp reactions, p + p -> p + Lambda^0 + K^+ and p + p -> p + Sigma^0 + K^$, near thresholds of the final states (p Lambda^0 K^+) and (p Sigma^0 K^+) are analysed relative to polarizations…
