If fourth family condensates are responsible for electroweak symmetry breaking then they may also break approximate global symmetries. Among the resulting pseudo-Goldstone bosons are those that can have diquark quantum numbers. We describe…
Supposing quark--diquark structure of baryons, we look for systematics of baryons composed of light quarks ($q=u,d$). We systematize baryons using the notion of two diquarks: (i) axial--vector state, $D^{1}_{1}$, with the spin $S_D=1$ and…
Weak SU(3) symmetry is successfully applied to the weak hadronic decay amplitudes of octet hyperons. Weak nonmesonic and mesonic decays of various dibaryons with strangeness, their dominant decay modes, and lifetimes are calculated.…
We study the spectroscopy and dominant decays of the bottomonium-like tetraquarks (bound diquarks-antidiquarks), focusing on the lowest lying P-wave $[bq][\bar{b}\bar{q}]$ states $Y_{[bq]}$ (with $q=u,d$), having $J^{PC}=1^{--}$. To search…
The nucleon-nucleon interaction at short range is analyzed in terms of six-quark configurations on a base of numerical solutions of modified RGM equations. It is shown that in low partial waves L=0,1 the system has a two-channel character:…
We find expressions for the weak decay amplitudes of baryons containing two b quarks (or one b and one c quark -- many relationship are the same) in terms of unknown reduced matrix elements. This project was originally motivated by the…
The vast majority of mesons can be understood as quark-antiquark states. Yet, various other possibilities exists: glueballs (bound-state of gluons), hybrids (quark-antiquark plus gluon), and four-quark states (either as diquark-antidiquark…
We present a theoretical framework that accounts for the new $D_J$ and $D_{sJ}$ mesons measured in the open-charm sector. These resonances are properly described if considered as a mixture of conventional $P-$wave quark-antiquark states and…
A diquark model previously formulated to describe exotic mesons is extended to dibaryons. In the model, dibaryons containing only light quarks are unbound. The $H$ dibaryon, consisting of $uuddss$ quarks, is unstable by about 90 MeV or…
The SU(3) octet states with baryon number B = 2, hexaquark dibaryons, are considered. Decay coupling constants sum rules for dibaryon octet into two ordinary baryon octets with ?$\lambda_8$ first order SU(3) symmetry breaking are given. An…
The properties of ground-state baryons of light-quarks are investigated in U(12)-classification scheme of hadrons, recently proposed by us. In U(12), in addition to the ordinary 56 of SU(6)SF, the existence of the extra 56 with…
The quark delocalization and color screening model, a quark potential model, is used for a systematic search of dibaryon candidates in the $u,d$ and $s$ three flavor world. Color screening which appears in unquenched lattice gauge…
Opportunities to observe new hadrons with very narrow widths are discussed. Two areas of focus are the lowest P-states of heavy-light mesons and doubly heavy baryons.
Dibaryon candidates with strangeness S=-2,-3,-4,-5,-6 are studied in terms of the extended quark delocalization and color screening model. The results show that there are only a few promising low lying dibaryon states: The H and di-Omega…
The decays of exotic states discovered experimentally always proceed via the strong and electromagnetic interactions. Recently, a tetraquark state with the quark content $bc\bar{q}\bar{q}$ was predicted by Lattice QCD simulations. It is…
The discovery of some baryon-antibaryon resonances has led us to consider 3q~3\bar{q} systems as possible candidates. We predict their spectrum in the framework of a constituent model, where the chromo-magnetic interaction plays the main…
We study the reactions \gamma d --> \pi\gamma NN with the aim to search for six-quark states, the decay of which into two nucleons is forbidden by the Pauli exclusion principle. Such states predicted by a variety of QCD inspired models and…
We investigate heavy flavor dibaryons with five heavy quarks $Q$ ($Q=\{c,b\}$) and one light quark $q$ ($q=\{u,d,s\}$), namely the $Q^{5}q$ dibaryons. In the framework of an extended chromomagnetic model, we systematically study the mass…
Within the collective quantization scheme for chiral solitons we discuss states in higher dimensional representations of flavor SU(3) and their relation to radially excited states in the octet. We also consider states which do not have…
After the experimental observation of charged and neutral $Z_c(3900)$, it is of prime importance to pursue searches for additional production modes of these exotic states. In this work, we investigate the possibility to study the…
