$S$-wave bound-states composed of a nucleon($N$) and a heavy meson ($D$, $D^*$, $\bar{B}$ or $\bar{B}^*$) are investigated in both the chiral SU(3) quark model and the extended chiral SU(3) quark model by solving the resonating group method…
An inelastic excitation and cluster-decay experiment $\rm {^2H}(^{16}C,~{^{4}He}+{^{12}Be}~or~{^{6}He}+{^{10}Be}){^2H}$ was carried out to investigate the linear-chain clustering structure in neutron-rich $\rm {^{16}C}$. For the first time,…
The $X17$ particle, discovered by Krasznahorkay et al. at ATOMKI, was recently confirmed in the $\gamma \gamma$ invariant mass spectra by Abraamyan et al. at JINR. We notice with surprise and interest that the $X17$ seems to have a…
A theoretical study of Bragg diffraction by an enantiomorphic pair of structures should apply to patterns gathered on beta-Mn using resonance enhanced x-ray diffraction. The chiral polymorph of manganese, and structurally related compounds,…
We investigate the properties of dense matter and neutron stars. In particular we discuss model calculations based on the parity doublet picture of hadronic chiral symmetry. In this ansatz the onset of chiral symmetry restoration is…
We calculate the electron self-energy in a magnetized QED plasma to the leading perturbative order in the coupling constant and to the linear order in an external magnetic field. We find that the chiral asymmetry of the normal ground state…
We study the evidence for and possible origins of parity doubling among the baryons. First we explore the experimental evidence, finding a significant signal for parity doubling in the non-strange baryons, but little evidence among strange…

Structure of two sets of mirror nuclei: 47V - 47Cr and 49Cr - 49Mn, as well as 49V and 51Mn, is studied using the projected shell model. Their yrast spectra are described as an interplay between the angular momentum projected states around…
The ${q}\bar{q}$ spectrum is studied within a chiral constituent quark model. It provides with a good fit of the available experimental data from light (vector and pseudoscalar) to heavy mesons. The new $D$ states measured at different…
Nuclear magnetic dipole properties of ground bands and gamma-vibrational bands are studied for the first time using the triaxial projected shell model approach. The study is carried out for the Dy and Er isotopic chains, ranging from…
Evidence is reported for two nucleon resonances with spin-parity $J^P=1/2^-$ and $J^P=3/2^-$ at a mass just below 1.9\,GeV. The evidence is derived from a coupled-channel analysis of a large number of pion and photo-produced reactions. The…

The properties of the states of the alternating parity bands in actinides, Ba, Ce and Nd isotopes are analyzed within a cluster model. The model is based on the assumption that cluster type shapes are produced by the collective motion of…
We explain the main idea of the chiral doublers scenario, originating from simultaneous constraints of chiral symmetry and of heavy quark spin symmetry on effective theories of heavy-light hadrons. In particular we discuss chiral doublers…
