Triangle and other kinematic singularities are very sensitive to the precise masses and widths of the intervening particles. Therefore, the effect that the heavy-ion collision medium can have on those masses and widths, as captured by…

We study for the first time the $p\Sigma^-\to K^-d$ and $K^-d\to p\Sigma^-$ reactions close to threshold and show that they are driven by a triangle mechanism, with the $\Lambda(1405)$, a proton and a neutron as intermediate states, which…

We carry out an analysis of the multibody decay cascade $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda^*_J J/\psi \to pK^- J/\psi$ with the $ \Lambda^*_J$ resonance including $\Lambda^*_{1520},\Lambda^*_{1600}$, and $\Lambda^*_{1800}$, and $J/\psi$ reconstructed by…

The question of the competition between $\Lambda$ and $\Xi^{0,-}$ in the ground-state of multi-strange hypernuclei is addressed within a non-relativistic density functional approach, partially constrained by ab-initio calculations and…

The resonance-like signal with axial-vector quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ at a mass of $1420\,$MeV and a width of $140\,$MeV, recently observed by the COMPASS and VES experiments in the $f_0(980)\pi$ final state and tentatively called…

By an effective Lagrangian plus QCD sum-rule approach, we investigate the mass shift of the $J/\psi$ state in medium, in symmetric nuclear matter with zero and finite temperature, and cold strange matter. The in-medium mass of the $J/\psi$…

We investigate the $J/\psi \phi$ invariant mass distribution of the $e^+e^-\to \gamma J/\psi\phi$ reaction at a center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=4.6$~GeV measured by the BESIII collaboration, who concludes that no significant signals are…

Recent LHCb data for $B^-\to J/\psi\Lambda\bar{p}$ show a clear peak structure at the $\Xi_c\bar{D}$ threshold in the $J/\psi\Lambda$ invariant mass ($M_{J/\psi\Lambda}$) distribution. The LHCb's amplitude analysis identified the peak with…

We study the three-body $\Lambda_b$ decays of $\Lambda_b\to J/\psi pM$ with $M=K^-$ and $\pi^-$. The two new states ${\cal P}_{c1}\equiv {\cal P}_c(4380)^+$ and ${\cal P}_{c2}\equiv {\cal P}_c(4450)^+$ observed recently as the resonances in…

A triality is a sort of super-symmetry that exchanges the types of the elements of an incidence geometry in cycles of length three. Although geometries with trialities exhibit fascinating behaviors, their construction is challenging, making…

We present numerical simulations of the gravitational three-body problem, in which three particles lie at rest close to the vertices of an equilateral triangle. In the unperturbed problem, the three particles fall towards the center of mass…

We propose a novel scenario for the peak structures, usually interpreted as hidden charm pentaquark ($P_c$) contributions, in the LHCb's $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ data. The key idea is to utilize leading or lower-order singularities…

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 $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p \pi^-$…

We investigate the $B^+\to J/\psi \phi K^+$ decay via various rescattering diagrams. Without introducing genuine exotic resonances, it is shown that the $Z_{cs}(4000)$, $Z_{cs}(4220)$ and $X(4700)$ reported by the LHCb collaboration can be…

We calculate the shape of the $\pi\Sigma$ and $\bar K N$ invariant mass distributions in the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi\, \pi\Sigma$ and $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi \,\bar K N$ decays that are dominated by the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance. The weak…

If the $X(3872)$ is a weakly bound charm-meson molecule, it can be produced in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation by the creation of $D^{*0} \bar D^{*0}$ from a virtual photon followed by the rescattering of the charm-meson pair into $X$ and a photon.…

We study the structure of the baryon resonances $\Lambda(1405)$ and $\bar\Lambda(1405)$ in $J/\psi$ four body decays $J/\psi\to \Sigma\bar \Sigma \pi\pi$ in the framework of a coupled channel chiral unitary approach. With still sufficient…

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported on the evidence for a hidden charm pentaquark state with strangeness, i.e., $P_{cs}(4459)$, in the $J/\psi\Lambda$ invariant mass distribution of the $\Xi_b^-\to J/\psi \Lambda K^-$ decay. In this…

We report on four $\Sigma$'s and three $\Lambda$'s, in the 1500 - 1800 MeV region, as two meson - one baryon S-wave $(1/2)^+$ resonances found by solving the Faddeev equations in the coupled channel approach, which can be associated to the…
