A search for the decays $B^+ \rightarrow h_c K^+$ and $B^0 \rightarrow h_c K_S^0$ is performed. Evidence for the decay $B^+ \rightarrow h_c K^+$ is found; its significance is $4.8\sigma$. No evidence is found for $B^0 \rightarrow h_c…
We report a search for the charmless hadronic decay $B^0\to\eta \pi^0$ with a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 694 $\rm fb^{-1}$ containing $753\times10^6$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs. The data were collected by the Belle…
Motivated by the near-threshold enhancement and the dip structure around 1~GeV in the $\pi^0\pi^0$ invariant mass distribution of the process $D^0\to \pi^0\pi^0\bar{K}^0$ observed by the CLEO Collaboration, we have investigated this process…
Using $448.0 \times 10^6$~$\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, an amplitude analysis is performed for $\psi(3686)\to\gamma\chi_{c1}$, $\chi_{c1}\to\eta\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. The most dominant two-body structure observed is…
The mechanism of the four-quark production of the light scalar isovector four-quark state $a_0(980)$ in the $D\to\eta\pi e^+\nu_e$ decays is discussed. It is shown that the characteristic features of the shape of the $\eta\pi$ mass spectra…
From the perspective that the $\Lambda_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ are dynamically generated resonances from the $DN,~D^*N$ interaction and coupled channels, we have evaluated the rates for $\Lambda_b \to \pi^- \Lambda_c(2595)$ and…
We study the decay mode of the $a_1(1260)$ into a $\pi^+$ in p-wave and the $f_0(980)$ that decays into $\pi^+ \pi^-$ in s-wave. The mechanisms proceeds via a triangular mechanism where the $a_1(1260)$ decays into $K^* \bar K$, the $K^*$…
We study the singly-Cabibbo-suppressed decays $\Lambda_c^{+}\to p\eta$ and $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\to p\pi^{0}$ using $\Lambda_{c}^{+}\Lambda_{c}^{+}$ pairs produced by $e^+e^-$ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 4.6\; GeV$. The…
We have searched for the Cabibbo-suppressed decay $\Lambda_c^+\to\phi p\pi^0$ in $e^+e^-$ collisions using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 915 $\rm fb^{-1}$. The data were collected by the Belle experiment at the…
We study the mechanism of the weak decay process of Xi_b^0 into D^0 with a meson-baryon pair. It is shown that the dominant component of the prompt weak decay produces the meson-baryon pair with the spectator strange quark being transferred…
We investigate the structure of the scalar mesons $f_0(975)$ and $a_0(980)$ within realistic meson-exchange models of the $\pi\pi$ and $\pi\eta$ interactions. Starting from a modified version of the J\"ulich model for $\pi\pi$ scattering we…
We study the effect of scalar-isoscalar $f_{0}(980)$ meson in the mechanism of the radiative $\phi\to \pi^{+}\pi^{-}\gamma$ decay. A phenomenological approach is used to study this decay by considering the contributions of $\sigma$-meson,…
A resonance-like structure as narrow as 10 MeV is observed in the $K^-p$ invariant mass distributions in $\Lambda_c^+\to p K^- \pi^+$ at Belle. Based on the large data sample of about 1.5 million events and the small bin width of just 1 MeV…
We present a study of two states decaying to Lambda_c^+K^-pi^+ using the BaBar detector at the SLAC PEP-II asymmetric-energy e^+e^- storage rings. We use an integrated luminosity of 288.5 fb^{-1} collected at the center-of-mass energy…
We construct an effective hadronic model including $\Lambda_c(2595)$, $\Lambda_c(2625)$, $\Lambda_b(5912)$ and $\Lambda_b(5920)$ regarding them as chiral partners to $\Sigma_c(2455)$, $\Sigma_c(2520)$, $\Sigma_b$ and $\Sigma_b^\ast$,…
Based on gauge invariance, we show that the new threshold phenomenon is discovered in the \phi radiative decays \phi\to\gamma a0\to\gamma\pi0\eta and \phi\to\gamma f0\to\gamma\pi0\pi0. This enables to conclude that production of the…
In this work we study the role of the $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ resonances in the low $ K ^{+} K^{-} $ and $K^0 \bar K^0 $ invariant-mass region of the $B^- \to \pi ^- K^+ K^- $ and $B^- \to \pi ^- K^0 \bar K^0 $ reactions. The amplitudes…
We present results for the strong widths corresponding to the $\Sigma_c\to \Lambda_c \pi$, $\Sigma_c^{*}\to \Lambda_c \pi$ and $\Xi_c^{*}\to \Xi_c \pi$ decays. The calculations have been done in a nonrelativistic constituent quark model…
We investigate the $\Lambda_b\to\Lambda_c\pi^-f_0(980)$ production with a $f_0(980)$ decay into $\pi^+\pi^-$ via the $K^{*0}K^-K^+$ and $K^{*-}K^0\bar{K}^0$ triangle loops. These loops produce a peak around 1.42 GeV in the $\pi^-f_0(980)$…
We develop a model to study the $D^0 \to K^- \pi^+ \eta$ weak decay, starting with the color favored external emission and Cabibbo favored mode at the quark level. A less favored internal emission decay mode is also studied as a source of…
