I discuss several recent highly accurate theoretical predictions for masses of baryons containing the b quark, as well as an effective supersymmetry between heavy quark baryons and mesons. I also suggest some possibilities for observing…
Our progress in computing the spectrum of excited baryons and mesons in lattice QCD is described. Sets of spatially-extended hadron operators with a variety of different momenta are used. A new method of stochastically estimating the…

The application of quark models to the spectra and strong and electromagnetic couplings of baryons is reviewed. This review focuses on calculations which attempt a global description of the masses and decay properties of baryons, although…
We present recent measurements of the top quark mass by the ATLAS and CMS experiments in the $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ lepton+jets, all-hadronic, and dilepton channels. In addition, we present a measurement using a topology enriched…
Following a discussion on $W$-boson mass observed at the CDF and ATLAS, we explore the parameter space allowed in the 2HDM+$S$ model. Further, the model parameter space is constrained through vector-like leptons via muon $g-2$ measurements.…
We investigate the recently reported $t\bar{t}$ excess by the CMS Collaboration within the framework of conventional Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDMs). Considering all four types (I, II, X, and Y), we perform a comprehensive parameter space…
A number of candidate multiquark hadrons, i.e., particle resonances with substructures that are more complex than the quark-antiquark mesons and three-quark baryons that are prescribed in the textbooks, have recently been observed. In this…
An effective supersymmetric QCD light-front Hamiltonian for hadrons composed of light quarks, which includes a spin-spin interaction between the hadronic constituents, is constructed by embedding superconformal quantum mechanics into AdS…
The mass spectra of singly charmed and bottom baryons, $\Lambda_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$ and $\Xi_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$, are investigated using a nonrelativistic potential model with a heavy quark and a light diquark. The masses of the scalar…
Although narrow low mass baryonic structures, observed mainly in SPES3 (Saturne) data, were not confirmed in recent experiments using lepton probes, their existence is confirmed in other data, where hadronic probes were used.
I discuss the feasibility of measuring the top quark mass by the using of final states with leptons and J/\psi at hadron colliders. I also investigate the impact of matrix-element corrections to the HERWIG simulation of top decays.
Mass spectra of excited states of the singly charmed baryons are calculated using the hypercentral description of three body system. The baryon consist of a charm quark and light quarks (u, d and s) are studied in the framework of QCD…
Single- and double- heavy baryons are studied in the constituent quark model. The model Hamiltonian is chosen as a standard one with two exceptions : (1) The color-Coulomb term depend on quark masses, and (2) an antisymmetric $LS$ force is…
How the bulk of the Universe's visible mass emerges and how it is manifest in the existence and properties of hadrons are profound questions that probe into the heart of strongly interacting matter. Paradoxically, the lightest pseudoscalar…
The mass spectrum of beauty hadrons ($b\overline{b}$ and $bbb$ baryons) and $bb$-diquarks are computed in a non-relativistic phenomenological potential model. The potential comprises of a short-range Coulomb potential, a screened…
The threshold scan at future lepton colliders is the most precise known method to determine the top quark mass (well below 100 MeV), a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model that co-determines the stability properties of the…
The bottomonium spectrum is systematically studied within an unquenched quark model. Based on a good description of both the masses and widths for the well-established states, we further give predictions for the higher $S$-, $P$-, and…
Measurements by the CMS experiment [CMS Collaboration, JHEP04 (2014) 103; CMS Collaboration, JHEP11 (2020) 001] reveal a deficit of charged particle tracks in events with higher $\Upsilon$(nS) states. This observation is suggested to be a…
A new method to measure the top-quark mass in high energetic hadron collisions is presented. We use theoretical predictions calculated at next-to-leading order accuracy in quantum chromodynamics to study the (normalized) differential…
