A measurement of the top-quark mass ($m_t$) in the $t\bar{t}\rightarrow~\textrm{lepton}+\textrm{jets}$ channel is presented, with an experimental technique which exploits semileptonic decays of $b$-hadrons produced in the top-quark decay…
Using the recently proposed approximation for multiskyrmion fields based on rational maps we study the masses and baryonic radii of some strange multibaryons within the bound state soliton model. We find the tetralambda binding to be…
We analyze the Large Hadron Collider sensitivity to new pseudoscalar resonances decaying into diphoton with masses up to scales of few TeVs. We focus on minimal scenarios where the production mechanisms involve either photon or top-mediated…
We present evidence for the existence of a light scalar particle that most probably couples exclusively to gluons and quarks. Theoretical and phenomenological arguments are presented to support the existence of a light scalar boson for…
We investigate hadron spectra in 2-color QCD using lattice simulation with $N_{f}=2$ at low temperature and finite density in which there appears not only the hadronic phase but also the superfluid phase. We first calculate the pion and rho…
We present a comprehensive study of the masses of pseudoscalar and vector mesons, as well as octet and decuplet baryons computed in O(a) improved quenched lattice QCD. Results have been obtained using the non-perturbative definition of the…
We explore the usage of boosted as well as semi-boosted topologies in all-hadronic $t\bar{t}$ final states in simulated $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 14\,$TeV, with top quarks decaying into a boosted hadronic top-jet or a $W$-jet and an…
Relativistic constituent quark models generally describe three-quark systems with particular interactions. The corresponding invariant mass eigenvalue spectra and pertinent eigenstates should exhibit the multiplet structure anticipated for…
Using our extension of the quark potential model to hybrid mesons that fits well to the available lattice results, we now calculate the masses, radii, wave functions at origin, leptonic and two photon decay widths, E1 and M1 radiative…
We describe the observed light-baryon spectrum by extending superconformal quantum mechanics to the light front and its embedding in AdS space. This procedure uniquely determines the confinement potential for arbitrary half-integer spin. To…
The possibility of the appearance of $\Delta$ isobars in neutron star matter and the so called {\it $\Delta$ puzzle} is studied in a modified quark meson coupling model where the confining interaction for quarks inside a baryon is…
Many efforts have been made to reveal the nature of the overabundant resonant structures observed by the worldwide experiments in the last two decades. Hadronic molecules attract special attention because many of these seemingly…
We present lattice results for the spectrum of mesons containing one heavy quark and of baryons containing one or two heavy quarks. The calculation is done in the quenched approximation using the NRQCD formalism for the heavy quark. We…
We update the comparison with experiment of the dynamical model of high-energy hadron interactions based on the two scale structure of hadrons. All predictions made over decade ago are confirmed with a high precision by the TOTEM experiment…
A search for resonant production of high-mass top-quark pairs is performed on 2.05 fb^-1 of proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV collected in 2011 with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. This analysis of the…
Theoretical predictions for the spectrum of heavy meson-baryon bound states are a fundamental tool for disentangling the nature of the different pentaquark states that have been observed in experimental facilities. Here we explore this…
The orbitally excited heavy quark baryons are studied in the Callan Klebanov bound state model with heavy spin symmetry. First, a compact description of the large $N_c$, infinite heavy quark mass bound state wavefunctions and the collective…
A selected survey is presented of the recent progress in hadron spectroscopy. This includes spin-singlet charmonium states, excitations of charmonium and open-charm mesons, double-charm baryons, and pentaquark candidates. Models proposing…
The particle spectrum of all Majorana neutrino mass models with spontaneous violation of global lepton number include a Goldstone boson, the so-called majoron. The presence of this massless pseudoscalar changes the phenomenology…
The mass of the top quark is a fundamental parameter of the standard model and has to be determined experimentally. In these proceedings, I review recent measurements of the top quark mass in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt s=7,~8,$ and 13 TeV…
