Understanding the properties of the strange $\Lambda^*$ baryon resonances is a long-standing and fascinating problem. $\Lambda_c$ charm-baryon semileptonic weak decays to these resonances are highly sensitive to their internal structure and…
Motivated by the recent LHCb observation of doubly-charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ in the $\Lambda_c^+ K^-\pi^+\pi^+$ final state, we analyze the weak decays of doubly heavy baryons $\Xi_{cc}$, $\Omega_{cc}$, $\Xi_{bc}$, $\Omega_{bc}$,…
One loop corrections to the muon decay are studied in a popular and self-consistent version of the Left-Right symmetric model. It is shown quantitatively, that the corrections do not split into those that come from the Standard Model sector…
We perform a chiral extrapolation of the baryon octet and decuplet masses in a relativistic formulation of chiral perturbation theory. A partial summation is assumed as implied by the use of physical baryon and meson masses in the one-loop…
We recalculate masses and widths of anti-decuplet baryons in the case of positive parity from chiral soliton models, provided that the member $\Xi_{3/2}$ of the anti-decuplet has a mass 1.86 GeV as reported recently. Calculations show that…
We present a study of axial charges of baryon ground and resonant states with relativistic constituent quark models. In particular, the axial charges of octet and decuplet $N$, $\Sigma$, $\Xi$, $\Delta$, $\Sigma^*$, and $\Xi^*$ baryons are…
The energy-, density-, and isospin-dependent $\Delta$-formation cross section $\sigma_{N\pi \rightarrow \Delta}^*$ and $\Delta$-decay width are calculated based on the relativistic BUU approach in which the effective mass splitting of…
We include the lowest-lying octet- and decuplet-baryons into partially quenched chiral perturbation theory. Perturbing about the chiral limit of the graded SU(6|3)_L x SU(6|3)_R flavor group of partially quenched QCD, we compute the leading…
The fine structure of the low energy part of the nucleon and strange hyperon spectra, which are formed of single states without parity doublets, may be understood in terms of an $SU(3)$ flavor-symmetric quark-quark interaction that…
Chiral-scale perturbation theory $\chi$PT$_\sigma$ has been proposed as an alternative to chiral $SU(3)_L\times SU(3)_R$ perturbation theory which explains the $\Delta I = 1/2$ rule for kaon decays. It is based on a low-energy expansion…
Semiclassical analysis of the shell structure for a reflection-asymmetric deformed oscillator potential with irrational frequency ratio $\omega_\perp/\omega_z=\sqrt{3}$ is presented. Strong shell effects associated with bifurcations of…
QCD sum rules for the determination of form factors of $\Lambda_b$ and $\Lambda_c$ semileptonic decays are investigated. With a form for the baryonic current appropriate for the limits of the heavy quark symmetries, the different tensor…
Roles of quark-pair correlations in the baryon structure and the hyperon non-leptonic weak decay are studied within the non-relativistic constituent quark model. We construct the SU(3) ground state baryons by solving the three body problem…
Non-leptonic kaon decays are often described through an effective chiral weak Hamiltonian, whose couplings ("low-energy constants") encode all non-perturbative QCD physics. It has recently been suggested that these low-energy constants…
Masses of the singly heavy baryons (SHBs), composed of a heavy quark and a light diquark, are studied from the viewpoints of heavy-quark spin symmetry (HQSS) and chiral-symmetry restoration at finite temperature. We consider the light…
We present our final results for the SU(3) sextet model with the non-improved Wilson fermion discretization. We find evidence for several phases of the lattice model, including a bulk phase with broken chiral symmetry. We study the…
Mass spectra and semileptonic decay rates of doubly heavy baryons are studied in the framework of the relativistic quark model in the quark-diquark approximation.
We perform a detailed analysis of the semileptonic $\Xi_b\rightarrow \Xi_c \ell^- \bar{\nu}_\ell$ decays within the perturbative QCD framework. In our study, the $\Xi_b\rightarrow \Xi_c$ transition form factors are calculated using several…
The Chiral Quark-Soliton Model of nucleons is based on two ideas: 1) the major role of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in hadron physics and 2) the relevance of the large number of colours limit for the real world. In these lectures I…
Within the framework of a nonrelativistic quark model we evaluate the six form factors associated to the \Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ l^- \bar{\nu}_l semileptonic decay. The baryon wave functions were evaluated using a variational approach…
