We study decuplet baryons from meson-baryon interactions in lattice QCD, in particular, $\Delta$ and $\Omega$ baryons from P-wave $I=3/2$ $N\pi$ and $I=0$ $\Xi\bar{K}$ interactions, respectively. Interaction potentials are calculated in the…

The role of tetraquark operators in studying the isodoublet strange $\kappa$ and isovector nonstrange $a_0(980)$ scalar mesons in lattice QCD is examined using an ensemble with $m_\pi\approx230$ MeV and spatial extent $L$ such that $m_\pi…

We look for the effect of open decay channels on the masses of baryons in unquenched lattice QCD. We apply variational smearing using fuzzed basis states to a staggered nucleon operator. The signal for the s_bar s current in the nucleon is…
