Quarkonia have been studied in different collision system and energy in order to understand the effects of the hot and dense medium created in heavy-ion collisions. CMS is well suited to measure quarkonia decays to muons given the muon…
In this article, we study the $\Lambda_c$ and $\Lambda_b$ baryons in the nuclear matter using the QCD sum rules, and obtain the in-medium masses $M_{\Lambda_c}^*=2.335\,\rm{GeV}$, $M_{\Lambda_b}^*=5.678\,\rm{GeV}$, the in-medium vector…
The production of $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ mesons decaying into dimuon final state is studied at the LHCb experiment, with rapidity in the range of (1.5, 4.0) or (-5.0, -2.5) in proton-lead collisions at a nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass…
With the recent measurement of $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)\to B\bar{B}^*+c.c.$ and $B^*\bar{B}^*$, we investigate the transitions from the $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ to bottomonium states with emission of a pion via intermediate $B \…
The low-lying bottomonium-like tetraquarks $b\bar{b}q\bar{q}$ $(q=u,\,d,\,s)$ with spin-parity $J^P=0^+$, $1^+$ and $2^+$, and isospin $I=0,\,1$ or $\frac{1}{2}$, are systematically investigated within the theoretical framework of real- and…
The $\Upsilon(1S)\mu^+\mu^-$ invariant-mass distribution is investigated for a possible exotic meson state composed of two $b$ quarks and two $\overline{b}$ quarks, $X_{b\overline{b}b\overline{b}}$. The analysis is based on a data sample of…
By combining the ($u$,$d$) I-spin doublets or ($d$,$s$) U-spin doublets, the SU(3) flavor symmetry of light quarks can be decomposed into SU(2)$_I\times$U(1)$_Y$ or SU(2)$_U\times$U(1)$_Q$ subgroups, which have been widely adopted to…
We present the magnetic dipole($M1$) transitions $V\to P\gamma$ of various heavy-flavored mesons such as $(D,D^*,D_s,D^{*}_s,\eta_c, J/\psi)$ and $(B,B^*,B_s,B^*_s,\eta_b,\Upsilon)$ using the light-front quark model constrained by the…

The possibility of new short-distance physics applicable inside the cores of NS is incorporated into the equation of state generated by the quark-meson coupling model. The contribution of this new physics to the energy density is taken to…
We search for di-muon decays of a low-mass Higgs boson ($A^0$) in the fully reconstructed decay chain of $\Upsilon(2S,3S) \to \pipi\Upsilon(1S)$, $\Upsilon(1S) \to \g A^0$, $A^0 \to \mumu$. The $A^0$ is predicted by several extensions of…
