A recent measurement of the total $D^{*+}$ width, $\Gamma_{\rm tot}(D^{*+}) = (83.3 \pm 1.3 \pm 1.4)$ keV, is shown to be close to earlier predictions based on the single-quark-transition hypothesis. Those predictions are updated using more…
We propose that the diphoton resonance signal indicated by the recent LHC data might also arise from the pair productions of vector-like heavy down-type quarks with mass around $750$ GeV and above. The vector-like quark decays into an…
A resonance near 750 GeV has been observed at both the ATLAS and CMS experiments in its diphoton decay channel. We propose a possible interpretation based on a simplified model: a 750 GeV singlet scalar resonance, and a minimal stealth…
We have measured the 2 dimensional (2D) power spectrum of the Las Campanas Redshift Survey on scales between 30 and 200 Mpc (q_0=0.5, H_o=100h km sec^{-1} Mpc^{-1}). Such an analysis is more sensitive to structure on scales > 50 Mpc than a…
The meson-baryon coupled channel unitary approach with the local hidden gauge formalism is extended to the hidden beauty sector. A few narrow $N^*$ and $\Lambda^*$ resonances around 11 GeV are predicted as dynamically generated states from…
We study two- and three-baryon systems with two units of charm looking for possible bound states or resonances. All two-baryon interactions are consistently derived from a constituent quark model tuned in the light-flavor hadron…
Using the data sample of 980 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle detector operating at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we present the results of an investigation of the $\Lambda\pi^+$ and $\Lambda\pi^-$ invariant mass…
We propose the initial single chiral particle emission mechanism, with which the hidden-charm di-kaon decays of higher charmonia and charmonium-like states are studied. Calculating the distributions of differential decay width, we obtain…
This paper intends to collect the various evidences observed by ATLAS and CMS within searches for heavy scalars and pseudocalars. These searches in tt, hZ, tautau and 2jets+W, obtain individual excesses in five channels, each at a modest…
We examine the invariant mass spectrum of $D^{0}p$ in $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{0}$ decay measured by BABAR and find that through the 2-step processes of $\bar B^0\to {\bf B_c^+}(\to D^{0} p)\bar p$, where ${\bf B_c}$ denotes a charmed baryon…
We confront predictions for hybrid charmonium and other gluonic excitations in the charm region with recently observed structures in the mass range above 3 GeV. The Y(4260), if resonant, is found to agree with expectations for hybrid…
We demonstrate the existence of a frequency band exhibiting acoustic transparency in 2D and 3D dense granular suspensions, enabling the transmission of a low-frequency ballistic wave excited by a high-frequency broadband ultrasound pulse.…
The enhancement in the dilepton spectrum observed in heavy-ion collisions for invariant electron-positron masses in the range 0.15 GeV/c$^2 < M_{e^+e^-} <$ 0.6 GeV/c$^2$ has recently been traced back to a corresponding enhancement in $pn$…
The light scalar mesons in a variety of approaches are briefly reviewed, as well as their description in the Resonance-Spectrum Expansion and related coupled-channel formalisms. A recent multichannel modelling of the light scalars is…
A semi-relativistic potential model is adopted to calculate the mass spectra of charmed and charmed-strange meson states up to the $2D$ excitations.The strong decay properties are further analyzed with a chiral quark model by using the…
The usual range of new particle masses, up to a few TeV, searched for at the LHC may be substantially extended if ultraheavy diquark particles exist. A diquark scalar, $S_{uu}$, that interacts perturbatively with two up quarks may be as…
Scalar-isoscalar mesons are studied using an unitary model in three channels: pi-pi, K-anti K and an effective 2pi-2pi. All the solutions, fitted to the pi-pi and K-anti K data, exhibit a wide f0(500), a narrow f0(980) and two relatively…
Isospin-1/2 charmed axial-vector $D^*\pi-D^*\eta-D^*_s\bar{K}$ scattering amplitudes are computed, along with interactions in several other $I=1/2$ $J^P$ channels. Using lattice QCD, we work at a light-quark mass corresponding to…
An analysis of $K^+$-d total cross section data is undertaken to explore possible effects of the recently observed resonance in the S=+1 hadronic system with mass around 1.55 GeV. It is found that a structure corresponding to the resonance…
This talk summarizes the study of the dynamics of the heavy-light \bar Qq open charm and beauty mesons obtained in [1] using QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) and motivated by the recent experimental discovery of the D{sJ}(2317) and D{sJ}(2457)…
