We report multifrequency observations with the NRAO Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) of the compact radio sources J0128+6306 and J0547+2721, which are viewed through the supernova remnants G127.1+0.5 and S147, respectively. Observations were…
An unusual noise component is found near and below about 250 K in the normal state of underdoped YBCO and Ca-YBCO films. This noise regime, unlike the more typical noise above 250 K, has features expected for a symmetry-breaking collective…
High-statistics cross sections for the reactions gamma + p --> K^+ + Lambda and gamma + p --> K^+ + Sigma^0 have been measured using CLAS at Jefferson Lab for center-of-mass energies W between 1.6 and 2.53 GeV, and for -0.85 < cos…
A 2.1-year periodic oscillation of the gamma-ray flux from the blazar PG 1553+113 has previously been tentatively identified in almost 7 year of data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope. After 15 years of Fermi sky-survey observations,…
We develop a new theory of pairing and magnetic spin fluctuation effect near the quantum critical point. Several novel properties are predicted: 1) based on a spin fermion model, we derive two new interactions, a) a spin deformational…
Using kaon secondary interactions in the material of the Belle detector, we search for both inclusive and exclusive production of the Theta(1540)+. We set an upper limit of 2.5% at the 90% C.L. on the ratio of the Theta(1540)+ to…
We show that the fluctuations associated with ferro orbital order in the $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$ orbitals can develop a sharp resonance mode in the superconducting state with a nodeless gap on the Fermi surface. This orbital resonance mode…
The two exotic $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ discovered in $2015$ by the LHCb Collaboration, together with the four resonances $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$, reported in $2016$ by the same collaboration, are described in a…
In this work we compare the predictions for the scattering length and effective range of the channels $K^0 \Sigma^+, K^+ \Sigma^0 , K^+ \Lambda$ and $\eta p$, assuming the $N^*(1535)$ state as a molecular state of these channels, or an…
The contradiction between evidence for and against the existence of the Theta+ pentaquark might be resolved if it only appears as a result of a particular production mechanism which is present in some experiments and absent in others. We…
Differential cross sections and photon beam asymmetries for the gamma p rightarrow K+ Lambda and gamma p rightarrow K+ Sigma0 reactions have been measured in the photon energy range from 1.5 GeV to 2.4 GeV and in the angular range from…
We examine several assignments of spin and parity for the pentaquark Theta+ state (J^P=1/2^{+,-}, 3/2^{+,-}) in connection with phenomenology of known baryon resonances, using a general framework based on the flavor symmetry. Assuming that…
We consider the flavour sextet of charmed meson resonances with J^P= 1^+ quantum numbers that is predicted by the leading order chiral Lagrangian with up, down and strange quarks. The effect of chiral correction terms as determined…
We claim that a narrow peak in the cross section near 1685~MeV in the $\gamma n\to \eta n$ channel can be explained through a peculiar radial behaviour of the $p$-wave quark states with $j=1/2$ and $j=3/2$ in the low lying S11 resonances…
The lightest QCD resonance, the sigma, has been recently fixed in the pi-pi scattering amplitude. The nature of this state remains nowadays one of the most intriguing and difficult issues in particle physics. Its coupling to photons is…
A new extended gamma-ray source (PS J1934.5+1845) was detected with a significance of $\sim$13$\sigma$ at a location of 1$^{\circ}\!\!$.83 away from the radio location of the Galactic supernova remnant 3C 400.2 using about 9 years of…
Motivated by the experimental findings of some new exotic states decaying into channels like $J/\psi \phi$, we investigate the formation of resonances/bound states in the $D^*_s\bar D^*_s$ system using QCD sum rules. To do this we start…
Further consequences of the 1540 MeV Theta+ resonance as an isotensor pentaquark beyond Capstick et al. are explored. It is argued that the SAPHIR data may not currently exclude the existence of the charged partner Theta++. The usual…
The reaction p(@3.5\,GeV)+p -> p+\Lambda + K^+ can be studied to search for the existence of kaonic bound states like ppK^- leading to this final state. This effort has been motivated by the assumption that in p+p collisions the…
It is argued that final state enhancements in production reactions at large momentum transfers, such as pp -> K^+ Lambda p, are primarily sensitive to the position of a virtual bound state pole in the Lambda p system rather than the Lambda…
