Motivated by the discovery of several kaon-like states observed at BESIII and LHCb, this study explores S-wave and P-wave tetraquark states with quark contents $ss\bar{s}\bar{q}$ and $sq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ using potential-based phenomenology.…
Since LEPS collaboration reported the first evidence of $\Theta^+$ pentaquark in early 2003, eleven other experimental groups have confirmed this exotic state while many other groups didn't see any signal. If this state is further…
With a sample of 232x10^6 Upsilon(4S) --> BBbar events collected with the BaBar detector, we study the decay B+ --> p pbar K+ excluding charmonium decays to ppbar. We measure a branching fraction Br(B+ --> p pbar…
Opportunities to observe new hadrons with very narrow widths are discussed. Two areas of focus are the lowest P-states of heavy-light mesons and doubly heavy baryons.
The rate for the final state radiation of hadrons in leptonic $Z$ decays is evaluated, using as input experimental data for $\sigma (e^+e^-\to hadrons)$ in the low energy region. Configurations with a lepton pair of large and a hadronic…
We report on the progress of the pentaquark searches by the STAR collaboration in p+p, d+Au, and Au+Au at $s_{NN}=\sqrt{200}$ GeV collisions through one of the decay modes of $\Theta^{+}\to p+K_{s}^{0}$. $\Theta^{+}$ state is an exotic…
