Three body systems with short-range interactions display universal features that have been extensively explored in atomic physics, but apply to hadron physics as well. Systems composed of two non-interacting identical particles (species H)…

In the framework of the one-boson-exchange model, we have studied the interaction of the $B^*\bar{B}$ and $B^*\bar{B}^{*}$ system. After considering the S-wave and D-wave mixing, we notice that both $Z_b(10610)^\pm$ and $Z_b(10650)^\pm$ can…

Motivated by the $\Sigma$-hypernuclear states reported in ($K^-,\pi^{\pm}$) experiments, we have explored the possibility that there exists a particle-stable $\Sigma^- nn$ bound state. For the J\"ulich \~A hyperon-nucleon, realistic-force…

Recoil correction appears at $O(\frac{1}{M})$, which turns out to be very essential for the hadronic molecules with heavy flavor. In the past, we always thought that the recoil corrections were unfavorable to the formation of the molecular…

Identifying the t-channel exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, a surprisingly rich spectrum of molecules is formed. We argue that chiral symmetry and…

Using a three-dimensional formalism that includes relativistic kinematics, the effects of negative-energy states, approximate boosts of the two-body system, and current conservation, we calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the…

We calculate the effective potentials of the octet baryon and heavy meson systems using the chiral effective field theory up to the next-to-leading order. We consider the contact terms, one-pseudoscalar-meson and two-pseudoscalar-meson…

Baryon-baryon bound states in the strangeness S=-2, S=-3, and S=-4 sectors are considered. In particular, the dependence of the corresponding binding energies on the quark mass (or equivalently the pion mass) is explored in the framework of…

Inspired by the observations of three $P_c$ states, we systematically investigate interactions between an $S$-wave charmed baryon $\mathcal{B}_{c}^{(*)}=\Lambda_c/\Sigma_c/\Sigma_c^{*}$ and an anticharmed meson $\bar T=\bar D_1/\bar D_2^*$…

The standard model (SM)-like Higgs boson $h$ has spin zero and light mass around weak scale, so it has the potential to mediate a new and relatively strong force for the particle $\phi$ in the new physics (NP) sector; then $\phi$ may form…

We discuss the possibility of observing a loosely bound molecular state in a B three-body hadronic decay. In particular we use the QCD sum rule approach to study a $\eta^\prime-\pi$ molecular current. We consider an isovector-scalar $I^G…

The possible hadronic molecules in $D_s^{(*)+}\Xi_c^{(',*)}$ systems with $J^P=1/2^-,3/2^-$ and $5/2^-$ are investigated with interactions described by light meson exchanges. By varying the cutoff in a phenomenologically reasonable range of…

Possibilities of observing a signal of an $\eta ^{\prime} n$ bound state are investigated by considering photoproductions of the $\eta$ and $\eta ^{\prime}$ mesons on a deuteron target with forward proton emission. For this purpose, we take…

The study of electron-positron collisions at center-of-mass energies corresponding to charmonium production has reached new levels of sensitivity thanks to experiments by the BES and CLEO Collaborations. Final states $\gamma P$, where $P$…

We study heavy hadron spectroscopy near heavy meson thresholds. We employ heavy pseudoscalar meson P and heavy vector meson P* as effective degrees of freedom and consider meson exchange potentials between them. All possible composite…

The LHCb collaboration has recently observed three pentaquark peaks, the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$. They are very close to a pair of heavy baryon-meson thresholds, with the $P_c(4312)$ located $8.9\,{\rm MeV}$ below the…

In this work, we systematically study the heavy baryonium and heavy dibaryon systems using the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the ladder and instantaneous approximations for the kernel. Our results indicate that all the heavy baryonium systems,…

In this work, we adopt the one-boson-exchange model to study the $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$ interactions. With the same parameters, we can simultaneously reproduce the masses of the $D_{s0}(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$, and $T_{c\bar{s}}^{a0(++)}(2900)$…

Early speculations about the existence of heavy hadron molecules were grounded on the idea that light-meson exchanges forces could lead to binding. In analogy to the deuteron, the light-mesons usually considered include the pion, sigma, rho…
