The splittings between the spin 1/2 and spin 3/2 iso-singlet baryons Lambda_s(1405) and Lambda_s(1520), and their charmed counterparts Lambda_c(2593) and Lambda_c(2625), have been a theoretical conundrum. Here we investigate the possibility…
In this work we extend our formalism to study meson-baryon interactions by including $s$- and $u$-channel diagrams for pseudoscalar-baryon systems. We study the coupled systems with strangeness $-1$ and focus on studying the isospin-1…
The statistical model in combination with detailed balance principle is able to phenomenological calculate and analyze spin and flavor dependent properties like magnetic moments (with effective masses, effective charge, with both effective…
We apply the diabatic approach, specially suited for a QCD based study of conventional (quark-antiquark) and unconventional (quark-antiquark + meson-meson) meson states, to the description of hidden-bottom mesons. A spectral analysis of the…
We develop a model to describe odd parity baryon resonances generated dynamically through a unitary baryon-meson coupled-channels approach. The scheme applies to channels with light and/or heavy quark content. Distinct features of the model…
The discovery of some baryon-antibaryon resonances has led us to consider 3q~3\bar{q} systems as possible candidates. We predict their spectrum in the framework of a constituent model, where the chromo-magnetic interaction plays the main…
We present the ground state energy spectra of two-flavored heavy dibaryons in the spin-singlet channel. In particular, the ground state masses of $\Omega_{llQ}\Omega_{llQ}, \Omega_{QlQ}\Omega_{llQ}$ and $\Omega_{QlQ}\Omega_{QlQ}$ states are…
The near-threshold exotic hadrons such as $T_{cc}$ and $X(3872)$ are naively considered as the hadronic molecular state from the viewpoint of the low-energy universality. However, it is also known that the elementary dominant state is not…
We have solved for the first time the Faddeev equations for the bound state problem of the coupled $\Lambda\Lambda N$--$\Xi NN$ system to study whether an hypertriton with strangeness -2 may exist or not. We make use of the interactions…
Properties of bottom and bottom-strange mesons are computed in two relativized quark models. Model masses and wavefunctions are used to predict radiative transition rates and the $^3P_0$ quark pair creation model is used to compute strong…
We provide results for the open-flavor strong decays of strange and non-strange baryons into a baryon-vector/pseudoscalar meson pair. The decay amplitudes are computed in the $^3P_0$ pair-creation model, where $s\bar{s}$ pair-creation…
Using an extended version of the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model we build a simple description of the baryons as diquark-quark bound states. First, a description of the diquarks in a dense and hot medium is presented. Then, we introduce the…
A meson-baryon interaction in the charm $+1$, strangeness $-2$ and isospin $0$ sector is built from a t-channel vector meson exchange model employing effective Lagrangians. The implementation of coupled-channel unitarization in the s-wave…
Interpreting the recently discovered narrow exotic baryons as pentaquark states, we discuss, along an old argument of ours, the isospin mixing occurring within the two doublets of $Q = -1$ and Q=0 states lying inside the $S=-2$…
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…
The properties of the pseudoscalar Goldstone bosons in the color-flavor locked phase at moderate densities are studied within a model of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio type. The Goldstone bosons are constructed explicitly by solving the…
Recent developments in hadron spectroscopy triggers the discussion on various exotic configurations beyond the simple three-quark state for baryons and quark-anti-quark pair for mesons. In particular, the states observed near a two-hadron…
Flavored mesons containing quarks of unequal masses are studied. The appropriate tool is the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, but its inherent complexity leads to series of difficulties mostly related to the central role played in it by the…
The in-medium behavior of bottom-strange pseudoscalar mesons in hot, isospin asymmetric and dense hadronic environment is studied using a chiral effective model. The same was recently generalized to the heavy quark sector and employed to…
We present a neat example of a meson--baryon system where the vicinity of two different thresholds enhances the binding of a hadronic resonance, a pentaquark. As a consequence the pattern of states may change when moving among different…
