We study the effects of the finite size of the baryons on the equation of state of homogeneous hadronic matter with hyperons. The finite extension of hadrons is introduced in order to improve the perfomance of field theoretical models at…
An open question in hadronic phenomenology concerns the ``unquenching" effects of higher Fock space components on the leading Fock space description of hadrons. We address this by making a comparison of the bottomonium spectrum as computed…
A new approach to description of hadron spectroscopy is proposed. By assumption, the form of spectrum is dictated by the trace of energy momentum tensor in QCD. This provides the relativistic and renormalization invariance of hadron masses.…
We discuss the direct determination of the running top-quark mass from measurements of the total cross section of hadronic top-quark pair-production. The theory predictions in the MSbar scheme are very stable under scale variations and show…
We investigate a model for hyperons based on the bound state approach in which vector mesons are explicitly incorporated. We show that for empirical values of the mesonic parameters the strange hyperon spectrum is well reproduced. We also…
We construct an extended version of the linear sigma model in such a way as to describe spin-$1$ hadrons as well as spin-$0$ hadrons in two-color QCD (QC$_2$D) by respecting the Pauli-G\"{u}rsey $SU(4)$ symmetry. Within a mean-field…
We discuss recent calculations of the mass spectrum, electromagnetic and strong couplings of baryon resonances. The calculations are done in a collective constituent model for the nucleon, in which the resonances are interpreted as…
Prompted by the recent surprising results in QCD spectroscopy, we extend the treatment of the constituent quark model showing that mass differences and ratios have the same values when obtained from mesons and baryons. We obtain several new…
A recently proposed modified perturbation expansion for QCD is employed to evaluate the quark self-energies. Results of the order of 1/3 of the nucleon mass are obtained for the effective masses of the up and down quarks in a first…
We investigate modifications of hadron masses at finite quark chemical potential in two-flavor and two-color QCD, of which the data are available from lattice simulations, within a linear sigma model based on approximate Pauli-Gursey…
A new scalar boson which couples to the muon and proton can simultaneously solve the proton radius puzzle and the muon anomalous magnetic moment discrepancy. Using a variety of measurements, we constrain the mass of this scalar and its…
The mass of the $\Omega^0_c$ baryon with quark content (ssc) is computed in a potential model whose parameters have been determined in 1981 by fitting the spectrum of heavy mesons. It is found in perfect agreement with a recent measurement…
Motivated by the experimental progress in the study of heavy baryons, we investigate the mass spectra of strange single heavy baryons in the $\lambda$-mode, where the relativistic quark model and the infinitesimally shifted Gaussian basis…
A novel technique for measuring the mass of the top quark that uses only the kinematic properties of its charged decay products is presented. Top quark pair events with final states with one or two charged leptons and hadronic jets are…
The 2D Hubbard model is extended by placing 2S orbitals at each lattice site and studied in a systematic 1/S expansion. The 1/S results for the magnetic susceptibility and the spectra of spin-wave excitations at half-filling are consistent…
We study the effects of the finite size of baryons on the equation of state of homogeneous hadronic matter. The finite extension of hadrons is introduced in order to improve the performance of field theoretical models at very high…
We extend our calculations with the second-order tree-level and tadpole improved next-nearest-neighbor action to meson-meson systems. Correlation matrices built from interpolating fields representing two pseudoscalar mesons (pion-pion) with…
Recent experiments of photon-nucleon and meson-nucleon scatterings have accumulated a lot of data for various meson production processes. One of the purposes of those experiments is to search for the missing resonances which are not…
We investigate the fine-tuning problem in the Standard Model and show that Higgs boson and top quark masses consistent with current experimental bounds cannot be obtained unless one extends the particle spectrum. A minimal extension which…
We continue our program of describing hadrons as rotating strings with massive endpoints. In this paper we propose models of baryons and confront them with the baryon Regge trajectories. We show that these are best fitted by a model of a…
