We study the dynamical generation of resonances in isospin singlet channels with mixing between two- and four-quark states. To this end we generalise a Bethe-Salpeter approach to four-quark states employed previously \cite{Heupel:2012ua} to…
We use a hybrid constituent-quark model for the microscopic description of $\pi N N$, $\pi N \Delta$ and $\pi \Delta \Delta$ vertices. In this model quarks are confined by an instantaneous potential and are allowed to emit and absorb a…
We study hidden-flavor pentaquarks, $Q\bar Q qqq$, based on a constituent quark-model with a standard quark-quark interaction that reproduces the low-energy meson and baryon spectra. We make use of dynamical correlations between the heavy…
We discuss the dressing of constituent quarks with a pseudoscalar meson cloud within the effective chiral quark model. SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking effects are included explicitly. Our results are compared with those of the traditional…

In this work, we systematically study the mass spectrum of the fully heavy tetraquark in an extended chromomagnetic model, which includes both color and chromomagnetic interactions. Numerical results indicate that the energy level is mainly…
Beyond the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking scale light and strange baryons should be considered as systems of three constituent quarks with an effective confining interaction and a chiral interaction that is mediated by the octet of…
We investigate the role of spin-dependent nucleon-nucleus interactions in nuclear reactions. To this end, we use neutron spin observables to constrain the dominant central spin-spin form factors and then apply the corresponding like-channel…
In the SM gauge symmetries and fermion content of neutrinos, charged leptons and quarks, we study the effective four-fermion operators of Einstein-Cartan type and their contributions to the Schwinger-Dyson equations of fermion self-energy…
Several recent experiments have reported evidence for a narrow feature in the K(+)-neutron system, an apparent resonant state ~ 100 MeV above threshold and with a width < 25 MeV. This state has been labelled as Theta(+) (previously as…
In the paper, we construct eight color singlet-singlet type five-quark currents with distinguished isospins to study the $\bar{D}\Xi^{\prime}$, $\bar{D}\Xi_c^{*}$, $\bar{D}^{*}\Xi_c^{\prime}$ and $\bar{D}^{*}\Xi_c^{*}$ molecular states with…
In QCD at high density, the color-octet quark-antiquark condensate $\langle\overline\psi\gamma_0(\lambda^A)_C (\lambda^A)_F\psi\rangle$ is generally nonzero and dynamically breaks the $\mathrm{SU}(3)_C\times…

The cross section for formation in $\gamma + p$ collisions of the recently found hidden-charm pentaquark states $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4450)$ is discussed and estimated. The studies of these resonances in photon beam experiments can be…
The role of configuration mixing in the Pt region is investigated. For this chain of isotopes, the nature of the ground state changes smoothly, being spherical around mass $A\sim 174$ and $A\sim 192$ and deformed around the mid-shell N=104…
We report on a high-statistics search for the \t1540 resonance in $\Sigma^-$-nucleus collisions at 340 \gevc1 . No evidence for this resonance was found in our data sample which contains 13 millions $K^0_s \to \pi^+\pi^- $ decays above…
