The properties of baryons containing one heavy quark are studied in the Skyrme model, where they are treated as bound states of a heavy meson with an $SU(2)$ chiral soliton. In the large $N_c$ limit, the baryon spectrum is an infinite tower…
We perform a theoretical study on the spectrum of the low-lying hidden-bottom ($q\bar{q}b\bar{b}$ with $q=$ $u$, $d$ and $s$) and double-bottom ($q\bar{q}bb$) tetraquark states within a nonrelativistic quark model, in which the…

We investigate the electromagnetic structure of heavy quarkonia and the $B_c$ meson within the light-front quark model (LFQM) to better understand the internal spatial charge distributions and QCD dynamics of heavy mesons. The light-front…
Excitonic effects in optical spectra and electron-hole pair excitations are described by solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) that accounts for the Coulomb interaction of excited electron-hole pairs. Although for the computation…
We present a study of various $B_{s}$ meson decays, including hadronic and semileptonic final states with different spins and diagram topologies. The covariant confined quark model is employed to describe hadronic effects, and our analysis…
We thoroughly compare the bound state and rigid rotator approaches to three--flavored chiral solitons. We establish that these two approaches yield identical results for the baryon spectrum and kaon--nucleon $S$--matrix in the limit that…
The present paper is based on the assumption that heavy quarks bound states exist in the Standard Model (SM). Considering New Bound States (NBS) of top-anti-top quarks (named T-balls) we have shown that: 1) there exists the scalar 1S-bound…
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…
We have improved our previous variational method based constituent quark model by introducing a complete set of 3-dimensional harmonic oscillator bases as the spatial part of the total wave function. To assess the validity of our approach,…

Spectroscopic parameters and decays of the exotic tensor meson $T$ with content $bc \overline{b}\overline{c}$ are explored in the context of the diquark-antidiquark model. We treat it as a state built of axial-vector diquark $b^{T}C\gamma…

In the functional approach to quantum chromodynamics, the properties of hadronic bound states are accessible via covariant integral equations, e.g. the Bethe-Salpeter equations for mesons. In particular, one has to deal with linear,…
We consider the two- and three-flavor QMD models as renormalizable low-energy models for QCD at finite quark chemical potentials with quarks, mesons, and diquarks as effective degrees of freedom. Using the on-shell scheme the parameters in…
