We estimate the mass of the pentaquark state with QCD sum rules and find that pentaquark states with isospin $I=0, 1, 2$ lie close to each other around $(1.55\pm 0.15)$ GeV. The experimentally observed baryon resonance $\Theta^+ (1540)$…
We have investigated the $qss\bar{q}q$ ($q = u$ or $d$) system to find possible pentaquark explanations for the $\Xi$ resonances. The bound state calculation is carried out within the framework of the quark delocalization color screening…
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 including some recent results on charmonium.…
A symmetry-preserving truncation of the strong-interaction bound-state equations is used to calculate the spectrum of ground-state $J=1/2^+$, $3/2^+$ $(qq^\prime q^{\prime\prime})$-baryons, where $q, q^\prime, q^{\prime\prime} \in…
In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction, we have systematically studied the mass splittings of the possible hidden-charm pentaquarks $qqqc\bar{c}$ ($q=u,d,s$) where the three light quarks are in a color-octet state. We find that…
Our study focuses on the $\Lambda$-type P-wave bottom baryon states with the spin-parity $J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-$, $\frac{3}{2}^-$. We introduce an explicit P-wave between the two light quarks in the interpolating currents (and the two light…
We use a symmetry-preserving truncation of meson and baryon bound-state equations in quantum field theory in order to develop a unified description of systems constituted from light- and heavy-quarks. In particular, we compute the spectrum…
We discuss some recent developments in the description of baryons as three-quark systems within relativistic constituent quark models. In particular we address the issues of excitation spectra, electroweak structure, and mesonic resonance…
The calculation of the spectrum of QCD is key to an understanding of the strong interactions, and vital if we are to capitalize on the experimental study of the spectrum. In this paper, we describe progress towards understanding the…
We study negative-parity baryon spectra in quenched anisotropic lattice QCD. The negative-parity baryons are measured as the parity partner of the ground-state baryons. In addition to the flavor octet and decuplet baryons, we pay much…
In this work, we investigate the interactions between an excited anti-charm meson doublet $(\bar{D}_1, \bar{D}_2^*)$ and ground-state octet baryons $(N, \Lambda, \Sigma, \Xi)$ with the aim of identifying possible molecular pentaquark…
We consider exotic baryons with hidden charm as antiquark-diquark-diquark composite systems. Spin and isospin structure of such exotic states is given and masses are estimated. The data for production of pentaquarks in the reaction…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently observed two narrow baryon resonances with beauty. Their masses and decay modes look consistent with the quark model orbitally excited states Lambda_b(5912) and Lambda*_b(5920), with quantum numbers…
The semileptonic decays of $\Lambda_{b}\to\Lambda_{c}^{(*)}\ell\nu_\ell$ and $\Lambda_{c}\to\Lambda^{(*)}\ell\nu_\ell$ are studied in the light-front quark model in this work. Instead of the quark-diquark approximation, we use the…

The strange pentaquarks with hidden heavy quark pair ($q^3c\bar c$ and $q^3b \bar b$) are investigated by the coupled-channel quark cluster model. Two types of the $q^3$ color-octet configurations are found to provide the attraction, which…
Inspired by the latest experimental progress, we systematically study the OZI-allowed two-body strong decay properties of $1P$-, $1D$-, $2S$- and $2P$-wave $\Lambda_c$ baryons within the $j $-$j$ coupling scheme in the framework of the…
We have studied the mass spectra of doubly charmed pentaquark states in the $\Lambda _{c}^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ and $\Sigma _{c}^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ channels with $J^P=1/2^\pm$, $3/2^\pm$ and $5/2^\pm$ within the framework of QCD sum rules. We use the…
A diquark model is used to investigate single charmed baryons. In this model, baryon is composed of two diquarks and an antiquark. Masses of lowest lying states with $J^P= 1/2 ^ \pm$ are obtained. Some masses are smaller than other…
