A decay rate asymmetry of the top quark is discussed within the framework of the supersymmetric standard model. Although new sources of CP violation in this model are severely constrained from the electric dipole moments of the neutron and…
A search for events with one jet and at most one isolated lepton used data taken at LEP-2 by the DELPHI detector.These data were accumulated at a center-of-mass energy of 183 GeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 47.7 1/pb.…
We study the $J/\psi$ photoproduction from nuclei at near-threshold incident photon energies of 5--11 GeV within the nuclear spectral function approach by considering incoherent direct (${\gamma}N \to {J/\psi}N$) and two-step (${\gamma}p…

We calculate the widths of the various pentaquarks in a relativistic model in which the pentaquark is considered to be composed of a scalar diquark and a spin 1/2 triquark. We consider both positive and negative parity for the pentaquark.…
A narrow pentaquark state, $P_c(4312)^+$, decaying to $J/\psi p$ is discovered with a statistical significance of $7.3\sigma$ in a data sample of ${\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-}$ decays which is an order of magnitude larger than that…
We investigate hidden-charm pentaquark states using an off-shell coupled-channel formalism involving heavy meson and singly heavy baryon scattering. Our approach utilizes an effective Lagrangian to construct the kernel amplitudes, which…
Photoproduction of neutral pions has been studied with the CBELSA/TAPS detector in the reaction $\gamma p\to p\pi^0$ for photon energies between 0.85 and 2.50 GeV. The $\pi^0$ mesons are observed in their dominant neutral decay mode:…
We report on a search for charge 1/3 third generation leptoquarks (LQ) produced in pbarp collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV using the D0 detector at Fermilab. Third generation leptoquarks are assumed to be produced in pairs and to decay to a…
According to QCD, there exists a broken dynamical supersymmetry between an antiquark and a diquark. This supersymmetry can be used to relate the mass of a pentaquark to the mass of an antibaryon by replacing two antiquarks in an antibaryon…
Resonant productions of the first generation scalar and vector diquarks at high energy hadron-hadron (pp), lepton-hadron (ep) and lepton-lepton (e+e-) colliders are investigated. Taking into account the hadronic component of the photon,…
Total and differential cross sections for the reaction p(gamma, eta)p have been measured for photon energies in the range from 750 MeV to 3 GeV. The low-energy data are dominated by the S11 wave which has two poles in the energy region…
