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…
Within the chiral unitary approach and with the constraints of heavy quark spin symmetry, we study the coupled channel interactions of ${\bar D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ channels, close to whose thresholds three pentaquark-like $P_c$ states…
We discuss the production mechanism of fully charm tetraquark, observed recently by the LHCb at M = 6.9 GeV in the $J/\psi J/\psi$ channel. Both single parton scattering (SPS) and double parton scattering (DPS) mechanisms are considered. We…
The mass spectrum of $\Lambda_c$ baryon family is investigated within the $DN$-$D^*N$ coupled-channel framework using two phenomenological approaches for the low-energy $D^{(*)} N$ interactions: the heavy quark effective theory and the…
The doubly weak $b\to dd{\bar s}$ and $b\to ss{\bar d}$ processes are highly suppressed in the standard model that offer the unique opportunity to explore new physics signals. The wrong sign decay $\smash{\overline B}^0\to K^+\pi^-$…
Almost a decade ago, physicists encountered a strange quantum phenomenon that predicts an unusual death of entanglement under the influence of local noisy environment,known as entanglement sudden death (ESD). This could be an immediate…
In the molecular picture the hidden-charm, pentaquark-like $P_c(4450)$ resonance is a $\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c$ bound state with quantum numbers $I=\tfrac{1}{2}$ and $J^P = \tfrac{3}{2}^-$. If this happens to be the case, it will be natural to…
$B_d$ and $B_s$ meson systems play a fundamental role to test and improve our understanding of Standard Model flavor dynamics. The mixing parameters $\Delta m_{d,s}$ represent important constraints in the unitarity triangle analysis. Their…
The $PT$ symmetric potential $V_0[\cos(2\pi x/a)+i\lambda\sin(2\pi x/a)]$ has a completely real spectrum for $\lambda\le 1$, and begins to develop complex eigenvalues for $\lambda>1$. At the symmetry-breaking threshold $\lambda=1$ some of…
The two-body problem under the influence of both dark energy and post-Newtonian modifications is studied. In this unified framework, we demonstrate that dark energy plays the role of a critical period with $T_{\Lambda} = 2\pi/c…
We investigate the $D^*K^*$ and $D^*_s\rho$ interaction in coupled channels within the hidden gauge formalism. A structure is developed around their thresholds, short of producing a bound state, which leads to a peak in the $D_s^+ \pi^-$…
This paper investigates the decay process $\Lambda_b \to \Sigma_c^{++} D^- K^-$ with the objective of finding a predicted molecular state with isospin $I=1$, $J^P=2^+$ of $D^* K^*$ nature, plus finding support for the $P_c(4312)$ state as…
The LHCb collaboration have recently updated their analysis of the resonant $J/\psi\, p$ mass spectrum in the decay $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi\, p\, K^-$, making use of their combined Run~1 and Run~2 data. In the updated analysis, three narrow…
Provided the enhancement in the $p \bar{p}$ spectrum in radiative decay $J/\psi \to \gamma p \bar{p}$ observed by the BES collaboration is due to an existence of a $p \bar{p}$ molecular state, we calculate its binding energy and lifetime in…
We have investigated the process of $\Lambda_b\to \Lambda D\bar{D}$, by taking into account the contributions from the $s$-wave $D\bar{D}$ interaction within the coupled-channel unitary approach, and the intermediate $\psi(3770)$ resonance.…
Results are presented on $\psi(2S)$ and $J/\psi$ hadronic decays to $K^0_SpK^-\bar n$ and $K^0_S\bar p K^+n$ final states from data samples of 14 million $\psi(2S)$ and 58 million $J/\psi$ events accumulated at the BES II detector. No…
Recently the LHCb collaboration has announced the discovery of the $T_{cc}^+$ tetraquark. Being merely a few hundred ${\rm keV}$ below the $D^{*+} D^0$ threshold, the $T_{cc}^+$ is expected to have a molecular component, for which there is…
We investigate the hidden-charm pentaquarks as superpositions of $\Lambda_c \bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $\Sigma_c^{(*)} \bar{D}^{(*)}$ (isospin $I = 1/2$) meson-baryon channels coupled to a $uudc\bar{c}$ compact core by employing an interaction…
The complete NNLO QCD corrections to the total cross section $\sigma(e^+e^- \to Z*,\gamma*\to t\bar t)$ in the kinematic region close to the top-antitop threshold are calculated by solving the corresponding Schroedinger equations exactly in…
We study here the $\Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi p \pi^-$ reaction in analogy to the $\Lambda^0_b \to J/\psi p K^-$ one, and we note that in both decays there is a sharp structure (dip or peak) in the $J/\psi p$ mass distribution around $4450$…
