We calculate the mass spectrum of the $Qs\bar q \bar q$ $(Q=c, b)$ tetraquark states with $J^P=(0,1,2)^+$ using the AL1 quark potential model, which successfully describes the conventional hadron spectrum. We employ the Gaussian expansion…
We use sampling techniques to find robust constraints on the masses of a possible fourth sequential fermion generation from electroweak oblique variables. We find that in the case of a light (115 GeV) Higgs from a single electroweak…
A general appearance of two-pole structures is exhibited in a relativistic Friedrichs-Lee model combined with a relativistic quark pair creation model in a consistent manner. This kind of two-pole structure could be found when a $q\bar q$…
Using the pole approach we determine the mass and width of the $f_0(980)$; in particular, we analyze the possibility that two nearby poles are associated to it. We restrict our analysis to a neighborhood of the resonance, using $\pi\pi$…
We develop a theoretical framework to quantify the structure of unstable hadron resonances. With the help of the corresponding system in a finite volume, we define the compositeness of resonance states which can be interpreted as a…
Using 58 million J/psi decays obtained by BESII, a charged kappa particle is observed in the analysis of the Kspi+- system recoiling against K*(892)-+ selected in J/psi -> KsKspi+pi-. The mass and width values of the charged kappa are…
The mechanism for the formation of the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance is studied in a chiral quark model that includes quark-meson as well as contact (four point) interactions. The negative-parity $S$-wave scattering amplitudes for strangeness…
We investigate the pentaquark system $qqqs \bar q$ in a framework of chiral quark model. Two structures, $(qqq)(s\bar{q})$ and $(qqs)(q\bar{q})$, with all possible color, spin, flavor configurations are considered. The calculations show…
Low-energy meson-meson scattering data are a powerful testing ground for quark models. Here, we describe the behaviour at threshold of S-wave scattering-matrix singularities. The majority of the full scattering-matrix mesonic poles stem…
Scalar sectors with several Higgs doublets, a CP invariant potential, and a CP violating vacuum, possess a mass spectrum in which, unexpectedly, new scalars cannot have masses much larger than the electroweak scale once perturbativity…
Using lattice QCD simulation in the quenched approximation, we study the $\kappa$ meson, which is ^3P_0 in the quark model, and compare experimental and other lattice data. The $\kappa$ is the lowest scalar meson with strangeness and…
It is shown, that fitting parameters of a $\bar{K}N$ interaction model to different sets of experimental data can lead to physical conclusions which might provide a deeper insight into the physics of this multichannel system. The available…
In order to describe Lambda(1405) as a resonance in the baryon-meson scattering, we have investigated q^3-q qbar scattering system with the flavor-singlet q^3 (0s)^2(0p) state (the Lambda^1 pole). The scattering is treated by the quark…
We consider a three-body one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with zero range potentials, which models a positive impurity with charge $\kappa > 0$ interacting with an exciton. We study the existence of discrete eigenvalues as $\kappa$ is…
The scalar mesons $\sigma(600)$, $\kappa(800)$, $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ together with the pseudo Goldstone bosons $\pi$, $K$, and $\eta$ may be considered as the Higgs sector of strong interaction. After a long time of uncertainty about…
The pole structure of the $\Lambda(1405)$ is examined by fitting the couplings of an underlying Hamiltonian effective field theory to cross sections of $K^- p$ scattering in the infinite-volume limit. Finite-volume spectra are then obtained…
We consider the interference of resonant amplitudes leading to the final state $K_S \pi^+ \pi^-$ in $D^0/\bar {D^0}$ decays. Each of these amplitudes consists of both Cabibbo allowed and doubly Cabibbo suppressed transitions. The role of…
We explore whether "f$_{0}$(600) or $\sigma$" exists as a pole in QCD, by a full lattice QCD simulation on the $8^{3} \times 16$ lattice using the plaquette action and Wilson fermions. It is shown that a low-mass $\sigma$ pole exists owing…
The nonleptonic weak decays of charmed mesons into a scalar meson and a pseudoscalar meson are studied. The scalar mesons under consideration are $\sigma$ [or $f_0(600)$], $\kappa$, $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$ and $K^*_0(1430)$. A consistent…
The hypothesis that there exists a nonet of scalars mainly composed of a valence quark-antiquark pair and mixed according to near singlet-octet separation : f_0 (980) singlet, a_0^{+,0,-} (980), K^{* +,0}_0 (1430), \bar K^{* -,0}_0 (1430),…
