The Feynman-Hellmann theorem and semiempirical mass formulas are used to predict the masses of baryons containing one or two heavy quarks. In particular, the mass of the $\Lambda_b$ is predicted to be $5620 \pm 40$ MeV, a value consistent…
We determine the energies of the excited states of a heavy-light meson $Q\bar{q}$, with a static heavy quark and light quark with mass approximately that of the strange quark from both quenched lattices and with dynamical fermions. We are…
We discuss the matching of the quark model to the effective mass operator of the 1/Nc expansion using the permutation group S_N. As an illustration of the general procedure we perform the matching of the Isgur-Karl model for the spectrum of…

Until now, the first reported doubly charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{+}(3520)$ is still a puzzle. It was discovered and confirmed by SELEX collaboration, but not confirmed by LHCb, BABAR, BELLE, FOCUS, or any other collaboration. In the present…
The mass shifts of experimentally well-known baryons due to meson-baryon self-energy loops are calculated, and their impact on the observed splitting of the baryon spectrum is studied. Configuration-mixed wave functions adapted from a…
The present work has been done on the baryons containing one, two, or three bottom quarks. In this article, the ground-state masses of $\Omega_{b}^{-}$, $\Xi_{bb}^{0}$, $\Xi_{bb}^{-}$, $\Omega_{bb}^{-}$, and $\Omega_{bbb}^{*-}$ baryons are…
We present results for masses of excited mesons from quenched calculations using chirally improved quarks at pion masses down to 350 MeV. The key features of our analysis are the use of a matrix of correlators from various source and sink…
We argue that three-quark excited states naturally group into quartets, split into two parity doublets, and that the mass splittings between these parity partners decrease higher up in the baryon spectrum. This decreasing mass difference…
We observe that excited hadrons provide an opportunity to probe from experiment the power-law running of the quark mass in the mid infrared, while the condition m(k)<k remains valid. A relatively clean analysis is possible for the maximum…
The proton mass arises from spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry and the formation of constituent quarks. Their dynamics cannot be tested by proton tomography but only by studying excited baryons. However, the number of excited baryons…
Chiral symmetry in QCD can be simultaneously in Wigner and Goldstone modes, depending on the part of the spectrum examined. The transition regime between both, exploiting for example the onset of parity doubling in the high baryon spectrum,…
Inspired from the experimental information coming from LHC [2,3] and Babar [4] for radially higher excited charmed mesons, we predict the masses and decays of the n=2 S-wave and P- wave bottom mesons using the effective lagrangian approach.…

We compute masses of positive parity spin-$1/2$ and $3/2$ baryons composed of $u$, $d$, $s$, $c$ and $b$ quarks in a quark-diaquark picture. The mathematical foundation for this analysis is implemented through a symmetry-preserving…
The masses of the positive parity $[{\bf 70},0^+]$ and $[{\bf 70},2^+]$ non-strange baryons are calculated in large $N_c$ QCD by considering the most dominant operators in an $1/N_c$ expansion. The approach is based on the introduction of…
L=1 excited heavy baryon masses are analyzed by heavy quark and large N_c expansions. In heavy quark limit, mass is parameterized by \Lambda-bar and it is expanded further by spin-flavor breaking operators to the zeroth order of 1/N_c.…
