A system of two static quarks, at fixed distances r, and two light quarks is studied on an anisotropic lattice. Excitations by operators emphasizing quark or gluon degrees of freedom are examined. The maximum entropy method is applied in…
We revisit the bottomonium spectrum motivated by the recently exciting experimental progress in the observation of new bottomonium states, both conventional and unconventional. Our framework is a nonrelativistic constituent quark model…
We describe a calculation of the spectrum of strange and nonstrange hadrons that simultaneously correlates the dressed-quark-core masses of meson and baryon ground- and excited-states within a single framework. The foundation for this…
In specific kinematics, hard exclusive amplitudes may be factorized into a short distance dominated part computable in a perturbative way on the one hand, and universal, confinement related hadronic matrix elements on the other hand. The…
Hadrons containing at least one heavy quark (charm or bottom) frequently have small enough natural widths that decay modes involving a single photon have detectable branching fractions. Photons of typical energy greater than 100 MeV have…
We consider the production and decay of multiquark systems in the framework of string models where the hadron structure is determined by valence quarks together with string junctions. We show that the low mass multiquark resonances can be…
In this work, an unquenched quark model is proposed for describing the heavy-light mesons by taking into account the coupled-channel effects induced by chiral dynamics. After including a relativistic correction term for the strong…
New data are presented, concerning narrow exotic structures in mesons, baryons and dibaryons. The sequence of narrow baryons is quite well described starting from the sequence of narrow mesons. In the same way, the sequence of narrow…
The possibility for an observation of a narrow penta-quark $Z^+$ baryon in $NN$ reactions is discussed. It is shown that the $pp{\to}n\Sigma^+K^+$ reaction at excess energies around 100 MeV above threshold provides optimal conditions for…
Some of the currently most popular conjectures for the structure of the recently discovered heavy mesons that do not find a place in the quark model quarkonium spectrum are sketched. Furthermore, some observables are identified that should…
We discuss the structure of current-induced bottom baryon to charm baryon transitions, and the structure of pion and photon transitions between heavy charm or bottom baryons in the Heavy Quark Symmetry limit as ${\scriptstyle m_Q\rightarrow…
The equation of state of hadronic matter in neutron stars is briefly reviewed. Uncertainties regarding the stiffness and composition of hadronic matter are discussed. Importance of poorly known short range interactions of nucleons and…
After commenting on the state of contemporary hadronic physics and spectroscopy, I highlight four areas where the action is: searching for the relevant degrees of freedom, mesons with beauty and charm, chiral symmetry and the D_{sJ} levels,…
Exotic hadrons are a new class of hadronic states whose properties do not allow them to be classified as conventional quark-antiquark mesons or three quark baryons. Finding new and understanding established exotic states is the most…
We present selected topics on heavy-light physics on the lattice in order to illustrate the current status of this field. In particular results concerning $f_B$, semileptonic decays, the decay $B \rightarrow K^*\gamma$ and heavy baryon…
Relativistic light-front bound-state equations for double-heavy mesons, baryons and tetraquarks are constructed in the framework of supersymmetric light front holographic QCD. Although heavy quark masses strongly break conformal symmetry,…
If known, the spectrum of heavy-hadron molecules will be a key tool to disentangle the nature of the exotic states that are being discovered in experiments. Here we argue that the general features of the molecular spectrum can be deduced…
Many newly discovered mesons behave like $\ccbar$ charmonium states in that they preferentially decay into final states that contain a $c$- and a $\bar{c}$-quark, but do not fit expectations for any of the unfilled levels of the…
The possibility of interpreting baryons containing a single heavy quark as bound states of solitons (that arise in the nonlinear sigma model) and heavy mesons is explored. Particular attention is paid to the parity of the bound states and…
We present the masses of singly ($B$, $B_s$, $\Lambda_b$, $\Sigma_b$, etc.), doubly ($B_c$, $\eta_b$, $\Upsilon$, $\Xi_{bc}$, $\Xi_{bb}$, etc.), and triply ($\Omega_{bcc}$, $\Omega_{bbc}$, $\Omega_{bbb}$, etc.) heavy hadrons arising from…
