We report branching fraction measurements of four decay modes of the $\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ baryon, each of which includes an $\eta$ meson and a $\Lambda$ baryon in the final state, and all of which are measured relative to the $\Lambda_{c}^{+}…

We have made a thorough study of the $D^+ \to \pi^+ \eta \eta $ reaction, recently measured by the BESIII collaboration, which shows an abnormal strength at high invariant masses in the $\pi\eta$ mass distribution. We studied in detail the…

We study the radiative decay $\phi\to\pi^{0}\eta\gamma$ within the framework of a phenomenological approach in which the contributions of $\rho$-meson, chiral loop and $a_0$-meson are considered. We analyze the interference effects between…

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…

We study the Lambda_c decay process to pi^+ and the meson-baryon final state for the analysis of Lambda resonances. Considering the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, color suppression, diquark correlation and the kinematical condition, we…

We briefly discuss how the chiral unitary approach in coupled channels and $SU(3)$ symmetry can be used to describe the production of $f_0(500)$, $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ in the $\chi_{c1} \to \eta \pi^+ \pi^-$ reaction, recently measured…

Based on a sample of $(2712.4\pm14.3)\times10^6\;\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, a partial wave analysis of the decay $\psi(3686)\to\Lambda\bar\Sigma^0\pi^0+c.c.$ is performed to investigate $\Lambda^*$ and $\Sigma^*$…

The Belle Collaboration results on the observation of the $f_0(980)$ resonance in the reaction $\gamma\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ are analyzed. It is argued that they point to the presence of mechanisms which give rise to a strong distortion of…

The strong decays of the low-lying $\lambda$-mode $\Lambda_b(1D,2S)$ and $\Sigma_b(2S)$ states are studied in a chiral quark model. We find that: (i) the newly observed $\Lambda_b(6146/6152)$ resonances in the $\Lambda_b\pi^+\pi^-$ spectrum…

With the recent measurements of the $D_{s}^{+}\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $D^{+}\rightarrow \pi^{+}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ decays by the LHCb Collaboration, we study these two decay processes by considering the final state interaction…

We investigate the $a_0(980)$ resonance within chiral effective field theory through a three-coupled-channel analysis, namely $\pi\eta$, $K\bar{K}$ and $\pi\eta'$. A global fit to recent lattice finite-volume energy levels from $\pi\eta$…

Possible manifestations of the isospin-breaking mixing of the $a^0_0(980)$ and $f_0(980)$ resonances are analyzed in the $D^0\to K^0_S \pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\to K^0_S\eta\pi^0$ decays. It is shown that the $a^0_0(980)-f_0(980)$ mixing has the…

We study the $D_s^+\to \pi^+(a_0(980)^0\to)\pi^0\eta$, $\pi^0(a_0(980)^+\to)\pi^+\eta$ decays, which have been recently measured by the BESIII collaboration. We propose that $D_s^+\to \pi^{+(0)}(a_0(980)^{0(+)}\to)\pi^{0(+)}\eta$ receives…

By analysing 6.1 ${\rm fb}^{-1}$ of data collected at center-of-mass energies between $\sqrt{s}=4.600$ and 4.843 $\rm GeV$ with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII collider, we observe the decay $\Lambda_c^+\to n\pi^+\eta$ for the first time…

A prediction for the contributions of chiral loops and the L$\sigma$M model to the radiative $\phi\to\pi^0\eta\gamma$ decay mode is presented. The L$\sigma$M is used as an appropriate framework for describing the pole effects of the…

The phi(1020) radiative decays form a good playground for study of the low-lying a0(980) and f0(980) scalar mesons. The complicated interplay of kaon loop mechanism, isoscalar meson mixing and momentum dependence of the effective couplings…

We study the semileptonic decay of $\Lambda_c$ to $\nu l^+$ and $\Lambda(1405)$, where the $\Lambda(1405)$ is seen in the invariant mass distribution of $\pi \Sigma$. We perform the hadronization of the quarks produced in the reaction in…

The Belle Collaboration observed an enhancement called X(4630) in the Lambda_c^+ Lambda_c^- mass distribution using initial state radiation. We demonstrate that the enhancement could be consistent with the psi'f_0(980) molecular picture of…
