Recent measurements of top quark pair and single top production are presented. The results include inclusive cross sections as well as studies of differential distributions. Evidence for single top quark production in association with a…
The CMS Collaboration recently observed a pseudoscalar excess of top quark-antiquark ($t\bar{t}$) events near the production threshold. One possible interpretation involves the formation of a short-lived quasi-bound state of $t\bar{t}$.…
The masses of excited heavy mesons are studied with sum rules in the heavy quark effective theory. A set of interpolating currents creating (annihilating) excited heavy mesons with arbitrary spin and parity are proposed and their properties…
We construct a leading-order effective field theory for both scalar and axial-vector heavy diquarks, and consider its power expansion in the heavy diquark limit. By assuming the transition from QCD to diquark effective theory, we derive the…
Many extensions to the Standard Model predict gauge interactions with enhanced couplings to third generation quarks, especially the extremely heavy top quark\cite{theoretical}. These phenomena can lead to resonances in the production of…
From the large-N_c QCD point of view, baryonia, tetra-quark states, hybrids, and glueballs are studied. The existence of these states is argued for. They are constructed from baryons. In N_f=1 large N_c QCD, a baryonium is always identical…
We investigate the quark mass dependence of baryon masses in 2+1 flavor lattice QCD using SU(3) heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory up to one-loop order. The baryon mass data used for the analyses are obtained for the degenerate up-down…
We report on a recent study of the ground-state octet baryon masses using the covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory with the extended-on-mass-shell renormalization scheme up to next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order. By adjusting the…
We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the doubly heavy tetraquark states $QQ\bar{q}\bar{n}$ with spin-parity $J^{P}=1^{+}$ and strangeness $S=0, -1$ using careful estimates of the Borel and threshold parameters involved. Masses of…
A lattice QCD study of the strong decay width and coupling constant of decuplet baryons to an octet baryon - pion state is presented. The transfer matrix method is used to obtain the overlap of lattice states with decuplet baryon quantum…
In framework of heavy-diquark$-$light-quark endowed with heavy-pair binding, we explore excited baryons $QQ^{\prime}q$ containing two heavy quarks ($QQ^{\prime}=cc,bb,bc$) by combining the method of Regge trajectory with the perturbative…
We discuss the modified top quark condensation model proposed in \cite{VZ2015}. This construction was inspired by the top - seesaw scenario, in which the extra heavy fermion $\chi$ is added that may be paired with the top quark. Besides,…
More and more excited baryons have been reported experimentally, but many properties are still unclear. This work attempts to simultaneously study the masses and strong decay widths of some singly heavy baryons, in order to provide possible…
We check a commonly used approximation in which a baryon with a heavy quark is described as a heavy quark-light diquark system. The heavy quark influences the diquark internal motion reducing the average distance between the two light…
We report new aspects of the recent theoretical progress in heavy quarkonium physics. (1) Contrary to wide beliefs, the gross structure of the bottomonium spectrum is described well by the non-relativistic boundstate theory based on…
We present some piloting calculations of the masses of the doubly heavy baryons in the framework of the simple approximation within the nonperturbative string approach. The simple analytical results for dynamical masses of heavy and light…
In the Standard Model, a group of heavy fermions, e.g. top quarks, can collectively strongly affect the Higgs field and create relatively long-lived bound states. If there exist new generations of fermions with masses beyond 1 TeV, strong…
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…
We develop a moment QCD sum rule method augmented by fundamental inequalities to study the existence of exotic doubly hidden-charm/bottom tetraquark states made of four heavy quarks. Using the compact diquark-antidiquark configuration, we…
In this article, we study the masses and pole residues of the ${1\over 2}^\pm$ flavor antitriplet heavy baryon states ($\Lambda_c^+$, $\Xi_c^+,\Xi_c^0)$ and ($\Lambda_b^0$, $\Xi_b^0,\Xi_b^-)$ by subtracting the contributions from the…
