Based on the $(2712.4\pm14.4)\times 10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, we present a high-precision study of the $\pi^+\pi^-$ mass spectrum in $\psi(3686)\rightarrow\pi^{+}\pi^{-}J/\psi$ decays. A clear resonance…
We report the observation of B- -> J/psi Lambda pbar and searches for B- -> J/psi Sigma0 pbar and B0 -> J/psi p pbar decays, using a sample of 275 million BBbar pairs collected with the Belle detector at the Upsilon(4S) resonance. We…
We study the $B_c^- \to \pi^- J/\psi \omega$ and $B_c^- \to \pi^- D^* \bar{D}^*$ reactions and show that they are related by the presence of two resonances, the $X(3940)$ and $X(3930)$, that are of molecular nature and couple most strongly…
We employ an effective Lagrangian approach to investigate double $\phi$ production in the $\bar{p}p$ reaction near the threshold and describe a notable violation of the Okubo-Zweig-Iizuka (OZI) rule in this reaction process through hadronic…
Tremendous progress has been made experimentally in the hadron spectrum containing heavy quarks in the last two decades. It is surprising that many resonant structures are around thresholds of a pair of heavy hadrons. There should be a…
In supersymmetric models with R-parity violation, scalar neutrinos may be produced as s-channel resonances in e^+e^- colliders. We note that within current constraints, the scalar neutrino may have a width of several GeV into b\bar{b} and…
The complexity of threshold phenomena is exemplified on a prominent and long-known case - the structure in the $\Lambda p$ cross section (invariant mass spectrum) at the opening of the $\Sigma N$ channel. The mass splitting between the…
We discuss how the a_0(980), f_0(980), K^*_0(1430) and particularly the broad sigma resonance can be understood within a coupled channel framework, which includes all light two-pseudoscalar thresholds together with constraints from Adler…
The near-threshold clustering phenomenon is well understood by the low-energy universality, for shallow bound states below the threshold. Nevertheless, the characteristics of resonances slightly above the threshold still lack thorough…
The cross sections for e+e- to pi+pi-J/psi, pi+pi-psi(2S), K+K-J/psi, DDbar, DDbar pi, D*Dbar, and D*D*bar are measured using data sample collected on or near the Upsilon(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at KEKB. A peak near 4.25…
A partial wave analysis of the $p \bar{p}$ mass-threshold enhancement in the reaction $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma p\bar{p}$ is used to determine: its $J^{PC}$ quantum numbers to be $0^{-+}$; its peak mass to be below threshold at…
The near-threshold enhancement in the ppbar invariant mass spectrum from the B^+ -> K^+ ppbar decay reported recently by the BaBar Collaboration is studied within the J\"ulich NNbar model. We illustrate that the invariant mass dependence of…
We report the results of a search for $B^{-} \to \jpsi \Lambda \pbar$ based on a data set of 78 fb$^{-1}$ data collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric $e^+ e^-$ collider. No substantial…
In determining the gravitational signal of cusps from a network of cosmic strings loops, a number of key parameters have to be assumed. These include the typical number of cusps per period of string oscillation and the typical values of the…
Spectroscopy of excited baryons with strangeness $S=-2$ is stimulated by recent experimental developments. Here we focus on the $\Xi(1620)$ which locates close to the $\bar{K}\Lambda$ threshold. To take into account the threshold effects,…
It is proposed that meson resonances are linear combinations of q-qbar and meson-meson (MM); baryon resonances are combinations of qqq and meson-baryon (MB). Mixing between these combinations arises via decays of confined states to…
The near-threshold behavior of the ppbar invariant mass spectrum from the psi(3686) -> gamma ppbar decay reported recently by the BESIII Collaboration is analyzed. The enhancement in the ppbar invariant mass spectrum near threshold is…
We report observation of a narrow peak structure at ~1.54 GeV with a Gaussian width sigma=6 MeV in the missing of K_s in the reaction gamma+p = pK_sK_L. The observed structure may be due to the interference between a strange (or…
The large variety of experimental data around the pion-production threshold are compared with a meson-exchange isobar model which includes the pion-nucleon interaction in s-- and p-waves. Theoretical results obtained with two different NN…
