We report on a lattice QCD calculation of the $\pi N \sigma$ term, the scalar form factor, and $\langle N|\bar{s}s|N\rangle$. The disconnected insertion part of $\sg$ is found to be $1.8 \pm 0.1$ times larger than the connected insertion…
QCD Laplace sum-rules for light-quark I=0,1 scalar currents are used to investigate candidates for the lightest $q\bar q$ scalar mesons. The theoretical predictions for the sum-rules include instanton contributions which split the…
We study the spectrum of $H(m)=\gamma_5 W(-m)$ with $W(m)$ being the Wilson-Dirac operator on the lattice with bare mass equal to $m$. The background gauge fields are generated using the SU(3) Wilson action at $\beta=5.7$ on an $8^3\times…
We investigate the mass spectra of $\Theta^+(udud\bar s)$ in quenched lattice QCD, with overlap and Wilson fermions respectively. Using three different interpolating operators, we measure their correlation matrix, and extract the mass…

We carry out an exploratory study of the isospin one a0(980) and the isospin one-half kappa scalar mesons using Nf=2+1+1 Wilson twisted mass fermions at one lattice spacing. The valence strange quark is included as an Osterwalder-Seiler…
The $s-$wave meson-baryon scattering is analyzed for the isospin-strangeness $I=1/2, S=0$ and $I=0,S=-1$ sectors, in a Bethe-Salpeter coupled channel formalism incorporating Chiral Symmetry. For both sectors, four channels have been…

The $s-$wave meson-baryon scattering amplitude is analyzed for the strangeness $S=-1$ and isospin I=0 sector in a Bethe-Salpeter coupled channel formalism incorporating Chiral Symmetry. Four two-body channels have been considered: $\bar K…

Recently three experiments reported a discovery of manifestly exotic Z_c^+(3900) in the decay to J/psi pi+, while J and P are experimentally unknown. We search for this state on the lattice by simulating the channel with J^PC=1^+- and I=1,…
This review is devoted to summarizing recent developments of the linear sigma model (LSM) in cold and dense two-color QCD (QC$_2$D), in which lattice simulations are straightforwardly applicable thanks to the disappearance of the sign…
We perform a global analysis of lattice and experimental data on negative-strangeness meson-baryon scattering using a large set of variations of the theoretical framework based on the Chiral Unitary Approach. For the former, the L\"uscher…

We use lattice QCD to investigate the spectrum of the $\bar{b} \bar{b} u d$ four-quark system with quantum numbers $I(J^P) = 0(1^+)$. We use five different gauge-link ensembles with $2+1$ flavors of domain-wall fermions, including one at…
Preliminary lattice QCD results for $D\pi$ scattering in isospin $I=\frac{1}{2}$ channel are presented. Utilizing the $N_f=2+1$ Wilson-Clover configuration at two volumes ($L^3 \times T=32^3 \times 96$ and $48^3 \times 96$) with the same…
We study the mechanism of the weak decay process of Xi_b^0 into D^0 with a meson-baryon pair. It is shown that the dominant component of the prompt weak decay produces the meson-baryon pair with the spectator strange quark being transferred…
