We study the radiative decay of $X(3872)$ based on the assumption that $X(3872)$ is regarded as a $c\overline{c}$ charmonium with quantum number $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ ($J,\,P,\,C$ represent the spin, parity and charge conjugation, respectively).…
We present a lattice QCD analysis of the $ \Delta $-baryon spectrum, with the goal of finding the position of the $ 2s $ radial excitation of the $ \Delta(1232) $ ground state. Using smeared three-quark operators in a correlation matrix…
Incoherent photoproduction of eta-mesons on the deuteron is considered. The main attention is paid to the region above the S11(1535) resonance where rather narrow resonance like structure in the total cross section extracted for gamma n ->…
We present an extraction of the E2/M1 ratio of the $\Delta$(1232) from experimental data applying an effective Lagrangian model. We compare the result obtained with different nucleonic models and we reconcile the experimental results with…
This presentation opens with a brief review of lattice QCD calculations showing the $2s$ radial excitation of the nucleon sits at approximately 2 GeV, well above the Roper resonance position. We then proceed to reconcile this observation…
Partial wave analysis is an important tool for analyzing large data sets in hadronic decays of light and heavy mesons. It commonly relies on the isobar model, which assumes multihadron final states originate from successive two-body decays…
We consider various possible identifications of the quantum numbers of the resonance D(2637) recently observed by DELPHI in the $D^*\pi\pi$ channel. We argue that in spite of a good agreement of the measured mass with the quark-model…
Baryons with three heavy quarks are the last missing pieces of the lowest-lying baryon multiplets in the quark model after the discovery of doubly heavy baryons. In this work, we study nonleptonic weak decays of triply heavy baryons…
After Y(4630) is discovered, theorists have given various explanations. We find that if Y(4630) is interpreted as the D-wave resonant state of $\Lambda_c \bar {\Lambda}_c$ system, the particle mass, decay width and all quantum numbers are…
Decay properties of multi-strangeness $\Xi$ and $\Omega$ baryon resonances are investigated within the constituent quark model by including relativistic corrections. The strong decay widths of various $\Xi$ and $\Omega$ resonances are…
We study the low-energy properties of a truncated Haldane pseudopotential with maximal half filling, which describes a strongly correlated system of spinless bosons in a cylinder geometry. For this Hamiltonian with either open or periodic…
Two body decays of charm mesons are studied by describing their amplitude in terms of a sum of factorizable and non-factorizable ones. The former is estimated by using a naive factorization while the latter is calculated by using a hard…
A new way to overcome the $\Lambda$ hyperon selective suppression, which is known as the $\Lambda$-anomaly, has been suggested. In particular, the additional radius of a $\Lambda$ hyperon is introduced into the model of hadron resonance gas…
Enormous progress in physics enriched our knowledge about the particles which build matter. Among them there are mesons, to which this thesis is entirely devoted. The overwhelming majority of mesons is made of `conventional' $q\bar{q}$…
This study appertains to the extraction of estimates for the masses and for the partial decay widths to pion-nucleon final states of the well-established (four-star) $s$ and $p$ baryon resonances below $2$ GeV. These estimates are…
We consider decays of the lowest-lying radially excited baryons. Assuming a single-quark decay approximation, and negligible configuration mixing, we make model-independent predictions for the partial decay widths to final states with a…
Hadrons have finite interaction size with dense material, a basic feature common to known forms of hadronic calorimeters (HCAL). We argue that substructure variables cannot use HCAL information to access the microscopic nature of jets much…
We extend the 1/N_c expansion meson-baryon scattering formalism to cases in which the final state contains more than two particles. We first show that the leading-order large N_c processes proceed through resonant intermediate states (e.g.,…
A scattering method is used to calculate the surface band structure of Al(111) from 8.6 eV below the Fermi level to 9 eV above it. This method has rarely been implemented previously. The complete complex bulk and surface band structure is…
Phenomenological expressions are derived for rates of the $\Delta (1232)$ radiative and Dalitz decays, $\Delta (1232)$ $\to N\gamma$ and $\Delta (1232)$ $\to Ne^{+}e^{-}$. Earlier calculations of these decays are commented.
