A generalized linear sigma model is employed to study the quark structure of low lying scalar as well as pseudoscalar states. The model allows the possible mixing of quark anti-quark states with others made of two quarks and two antiquarks…
The newly found \cite{CDFnew} dijet peak in the 120 GeV to 160 GeV mass region produced in co-production with W IS actually a Higgs Boson in spite of the expectation of a different decay pattern for most Higgses. Our point, however, is that…
Ultra-peripheral heavy ion collisions constitute an ideal setup to look for exotic hadrons because of their low event multiplicity and the possibility of an efficient background rejection. We propose to look for four-quark states produced…
In recent years there has been a rapidly growing body of experimental evidence for existence of exotic, multiquark hadrons, i.e. mesons which contain additional quarks, beyond the usual quark-antiquark pair and baryons which consist of more…
Agreement of theoretical calculations with the observed production rate of bottom quarks at hadron colliders is improved by the introduction of a contribution from pair-production of light gluinos, of mass 12 to 16 GeV, having two-body…
Building upon the discoveries of the $\Xi^{++}_{cc}(3621)$ and $T^{+}_{cc}(3875)$, we undertake a comprehensive investigation into the mass spectra, internal structures, and decay properties of doubly-charmed pentaquarks. By treating the…
A review is presented of past and recent attempts to build multiquark states within current models already describing ordinary mesons and baryons. This includes: coherence in the chromomagnetic interaction, tetraquarks with two heavy…
Group theoretic method for the systematic study of five-quark states with meson-baryon ($q\bar{q}-q^3$) configuration is developed. The calculation of matrix elements of many body Hamiltonian is simplified by transforming the physical bases…
We investigate the hypothesis that sexaquarks, hypothetical stable six-quark states, could be a significant component of the dark matter. We expand on previous studies of sexaquark cosmology, accounting for the possibility that some…
The structure of the $5q$ configuration states with strangeness ${\cal{S}}=+1$ is further studied in the chiral SU(3) quark model based on our previous work. We calculate the energies of fifteen low configurations of the $5q$ system, four…
Recent theoretical insights into the possibility of non-Abelian phases in $\nu=2/3$ fractional quantum Hall states revived the interest in the numerical phase diagram of the problem. We investigate the effect of various kinds of two-body…
Beyond the scale of spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry light and strange baryons should be considered as systems of three constituent quarks with confining interaction and a chiral interaction that is mediated by Goldstone bosons…
A search for hidden-charm pentaquark states decaying to a range of $\Sigma_{c}\bar{D}$ and $\Lambda_{c}\bar{D}$ final states, as well as doubly-charmed pentaquark states to $\Sigma_{c}D$ and $\Lambda_{c}^{+}D$, is made using samples of…
We summarize previous work on $\bar b \bar bud$ four-quark systems in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and discuss first steps towards an extension to the theoretically more challenging $b\bar b u\bar d$ system. Strategies to identify a…
We study the questions of the existence and mass of the proposed $d' (IJ^P=00^-)$ dibaryon in the quark-delocalization, color-screening model (QDCSM). The transformation between physical and symmetry bases has been extended to the cases…
The most strange dibaryon $\Omega\Omega$ with quantum numbers $S=-6$, $I=0$, and $J^{P}=0^{+},~1^{-},~2^{+},~3^{-}$ is reanalyzed in the framework of quark delocalization color screening model (QDCSM) and chiral quark model (ChQM). The…
Within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model we study the three body decay of the lighter top squark into a b-quark, a W-boson and the lightest neutralino and compare this decay with the flavour changing two body decay of the lighter…
In this work, we investigate the weak decays of ground-state triply heavy baryons. We first obtain the form factors using the light-front quark model in the three-quark picture, and then apply them to arrive at some phenomenological…
We report on the progress of the pentaquark searches by the STAR collaboration in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au at $s_{NN}=\sqrt{200}$ GeV collisions through one of the decay modes of $\Theta^{+}\to p+K_{s}^{0}$. $\Theta^{+}$ state is an exotic…
We investigate the H-dibaryon, an $I(J^{P})=0(0^{+})$ with $s=-2$, in the chiral and continuum regimes on anisotropic lattices in quenched QCD. Simulations are performed on very coarse lattices with refined techniques to obtain results with…
