Despite decades of studies of the photoproduction of hyperons, both their production mechanisms and their spectra of excited states are still largely unknown. While the parity-violating weak decay of hyperons offers a means of measuring…
Searches for high-mass resonances decaying to pairs of standard model bosons using ATLAS and CMS detectors are presented. The searches use 15 - 36 $\textrm{fb}^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected at the centre-of-mass energy of…
Charmonium(-like) or bottomonium(-like) states, which are incompatible with predictions from a static quark anti-quark potential model, are often refered to as XYZ states. In this lecture, some peculiar properties of states such as the…
Hyperon-nucleon interactions are important to understand quantum chromodynamics and so-called "hyperon puzzle" of neutron star, but limited by the availability and short-lifetime of hyperon beams, the progress of relevant research is very…
We propose a new interpretation of Peccei-Quinn symmetry within the Standard Model, identifying it with the axial $B + L$ symmetry i.e. $U(1)_{PQ} \equiv U(1)_{\gamma_5(B+L)}$. This new interpretation retains all the attractive features of…
Using the Hypercentral Constituent Quark Model (hCQM), the mass spectra of doubly heavy baryons $\Xi_{cb}$ and $\Xi_{bb}$ are determined. The model describes an interaction inside the baryonic system. Screened potential has been considered…
The existence of nucleon-antinucleon quasi-bound state is indicated in two decay modes of the J/psi meson studied by BES. We discuss an explanation in a fairly traditional Paris-potential model of the nucleon-antinucleon interactions. A…
A search is presented for a new scalar resonance, X, decaying to a standard model Higgs boson and another new scalar particle, Y, in the final state where the Higgs boson decays to a $\mathrm{b\bar{b}}$ pair, while the Y particle decays to…
With its unique data samples at energies of 3.8--4.6 GeV, the BESIII experiment made a significant contribution to the study of charmonium and charmonium-like states, i.e., the XYZ states. We review the results for observations of the…
The Beijing $e^+e^-$-collider (BEPCII) is a double-ring symmetric collider running at center-of-mass energies between 2.0 and 4.6 GeV. This energy range allows the BESIII-experiment to measure baryon electromagnetic form factors in direct…
The positron-electron pair annihilation in two photons is known for its numerous applications using PET scanners. The decay of Positronium (Ps) from a standard sealed source in more than two photons is less likely but can be observed with a…
This proceeding presents recent advances in the study of hyperon physics using data from the BESIII experiment. The BESIII detector has been in full operation at the BEPCII collider since 2008, providing excellent resolution, particle…
A search for groups of collimated muons is performed using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35 inverse picobarns. The analysis…
We investigate the production of circularly polarised X and gamma-ray signals in cosmic accelerators such as supernova remnants and AGN jets. Proton-proton and proton-photon collisions within these sites produce a charge asymmetry in the…
We review ideas and speculations concerning possible bound states or resonances of the nucleon--antinucleon system.
We study the properties of the $X(1880)$, the structure around the $\bar{p}p$ threshold that appears in the $3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ invariant mass spectrum in the decay process of $J/\psi \to \gamma 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$. Nucleon-antinucleon rescattering…
The transverse, spatial structure of protons is an area revealing fundamental properties of matter, and provides key input for deeper understanding of emerging collective phenomena in high energy collisions of protons, as well as collisions…
The search for axion-like particles $X$ in muon decays is an excellent opportunity for the MEG II and Mu3e experiments to extend their horizons beyond $\mu^+ \to e^+ \gamma$ and $\mu^+ \to e^+ e^- e^+$. A suitable process for both…
Particle production in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV is studied in the (3+1)-dimensional viscous hydrodynamic model. The shapes of the calculated transverse momentum spectra of pions, kaons, protons, Xis, and Omegas are in satisfactory…
We report the first observation of the doubly-strange baryon $\Xi(1620)^0$ in its decay to $\Xi^-\pi^+$ via $\Xi_c^+ \rightarrow \Xi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ decays based on a $980\,{\rm fb}^{-1}$ data sample collected with the Belle detector at the…
