Quark models taking into account the dynamical effects of hadronic decay often produce very different predictions for mass shifts in the hadron spectrum. The consequences for meson spectroscopy can be dramatic and completely obscure the…
I discuss the quark mass dependence of various baryon properties derived from chiral perturbation theory. Such representations can eventually be used as chiral extrapolation functions when lattice data at sufficiently small quark masses…

It is shown that in the large Nc limit heavy baryon masses can be estimated quantitatively in a 1/Nc expansion using the Hartree approximation. The results are compared with available lattice calculations for different values of the ratio…
We investigate the mass differences of charm and bottom heavy baryons, using MILC lattice gauge configurations with 2+1 dynamical sea quark flavors. We extend our previous work to three lattice spacings: fine (a~0.09), coarse (a~0.12), and…
We study the anomalously large rates of some hadronic transitions observed in heavy quarkonia using a constituent quark model which has been successful in describing meson and baryon phenomenology. QCD multipole expansion (QCDME) is used to…
We investigate the quark mass dependence of meson and baryon masses obtained from 2+1 flavor dynamical quark simulations performed by the PACS-CS Collaboration. With the use of SU(2) and SU(3) chiral perturbation theories up to NLO, we…

The baryon spectra are discussed in the context of the $1/N_c$ expansion approach, with emphasis on mixed symmetric states. The contributions of the spin dependent terms as a function of the excitation energy are shown explicitly. At large…
L=1 excited heavy baryon masses are analyzed by heavy quark and large N_c expansions. In heavy quark limit, mass is parameterized by \Lambda-bar and it is expanded further by spin-flavor breaking operators to the zeroth order of 1/N_c.…
Results for the excited meson and baryon spectrum with two flavors of Chirally Improved sea quarks are presented. We simulate several ensembles with pion masses ranging from 250 to 600 MeV and extrapolate to the physical pion mass. Strange…
We suggest a new point of view according to which baryon resonances can be understood as collective excitations about intrinsic one-quark excitations in a mean field of definite symmetry. This approach is justified in the limit of large…
We investigate whether it is possible to extract the quark mass anomalous dimension and its scale dependence from the spectrum of the twisted mass Dirac operator in Lattice QCD. The answer to this question appears to be positive, provided…
Our progress in computing the spectrum of excited baryons and mesons in lattice QCD is described. Sets of spatially-extended hadron operators with a variety of different momenta are used. A new method of stochastically estimating the…
The strange quark plays a unique role in QCD, reflecting its intermediate mass between the light and heavy quarks. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the spectroscopy of baryons with strangeness. Many new features of the…
