In a one-boson-exchange model, we study molecular states of double-charm baryon ($\Xi_{cc}(3621)$) and a charmed meson ($D$ and $D^*$). Our model indicates that there exist two possible triple-charm molecular pentaquarks, a $\Xi_{cc}D$…
Experiment shows that the top quark is far heavier than the other elementary fermions. This finding has stimulated research on theories of electroweak and flavor symmetry breaking that include physics beyond the standard model. Efforts to…
I give an overview on experimental studies of the spectrum and the structure of the excited states of the nucleon and what we can learn about their internal structure. One focus is on the efforts to obtain a more complete picture of the…
We review some selected topics in the decays of heavy flavours, beauty and charm, which are of principal interest at HERA-B and HERA. The topics in $B$ physics include: an update on the quark mixing matrix and CP violating phases, issues…
In previous papers we developed the light front formulation for Hamiltonians and wave functions (WFs) for mesons and baryons, with both confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. For baryons limited to the lowest Fock component with three…
We proposed a unified framework to describe the interactions of the observed $T_{cc}$, $P_c$, and $P_{cs}$ within a quark level interaction in our previous work. In this work, we generalize our framework to the loosely bound hadronic…
A priori mixings of eigenstates in physical states are quantum mechanical effects well known in several realms of physics. The possibility that such effects are also present in particle physics, in the form of mixings that break flavor and…
The description of baryons as soliton solutions of effective meson theories for three flavor (up, down, strange) degrees of freedom is reviewed and the phenomenological implications are illuminated. In the collective approach the soliton…
We perform a five-body calculation for pentaquark $(q^4\bar{q})$ state of $\Lambda(1405)$ as well as the three-body calculations for the ground state baryons and the $\Lambda(1405)$, and two-body calculations for mesons. The hamiltonian,…
In a nonrelativistic potential quark model framework, we carry out a precise calculation of the mass spectrum of the all-heavy tetraquarks with different flavors, $bb\bar{b}\bar{c}$, $cc\bar{c}\bar{b}$, $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}$, and…
The experimental signature of an S=+1 baryon of mass 1540 MeV and width 10-25 MeV has led to speculation that this is an exotic baryon consisting of 4 quarks and 1 antiquark lying at the top of a $\bar{10}$ SU(3) multiplet. The observed…
In this contribution, we present a study of ground- and excited-state $\Omega_c$ and $\Omega_b$ baryons consisting of two strange quarks and a heavy charm or bottom quark. An analysis in the quark model shows that the recently observed…
We study baryo-charmonium [$\eta_{\rm c}$- and $J/\psi$-$N^*$, $\eta_{\rm c}(2S)$-, $\psi(2S)$- and $\chi_{\rm c}(1P)$-$N$] and baryo-bottomonium [$\eta_{\rm b}(2S)$-, $\Upsilon(2S)$- and $\chi_{\rm b}(1P)$-$N$] bound states, where $N$ is…
We review recent progress in the understanding of the physics of heavy baryons. We begin our review by presenting some highlights of recent experimental findings on charm and bottom baryons and briefly comment on their theoretical…
I give an introduction to the QCD-based theory of the heavy flavor hadrons and their weak decays. Trying to remain at the next-to-elementary level and skip technicalities, I concentrate on the qualitative description of the most important…
The magnetic moment of a baryon state is an equally important dynamical observable as its mass, which encodes crucial information of its underlying structure. According to the different color-flavor structure, we have calculated the…
Considering quantum chromodynamics in the consistent limit of simultaneous correlated increase of the number of colours, $N_{\rm c}$, beyond bounds and decrease of the strong coupling to zero allows for solid statements about qualitative…
Quarks of heavy flavors are useful tool to study quark-gluon plasma created in heavy-ion collisions. Due to their high mass and early production time, heavy quarks experience the entire evolution of the system created in these collisions.…
The quadrupole moments of ground state baryons are discussed in the framework of the 1/N(c) expansion of QCD, where N(c) is the number of color charges. Theoretical expressions are first provided assuming an exact SU(3) flavor symmetry, and…
A general overview on the role of heavy quarks as probes of the medium formed in high energy nuclear collisions is presented. Experimental data compared to model calculations at low and moderate pT are exploited to extract information on…
