We compute the mass spectrum for strange/charmed baryons in the partially quenched approach using N_f=2 twisted mass QCD configurations. We investigate two main issues: the size of lattice artefacts using three values of the lattice spacing…
Chiral symmetry in QCD can be simultaneously in Wigner and Goldstone modes, depending on the part of the spectrum examined. The transition regime between both, exploiting for example the onset of parity doubling in the high baryon spectrum,…
The production and properties of the resonances with the strangeness S = +1 in the system of nK+ were studied in the reaction np -> npK+K- at the momentum of incident neutrons Pn = (5.20+/-0.12)GeV/c. A number of peculiarities was found in…
Using recently-developed diagrammatic techniques, I derive some general results concerning baryons in the $1/N$ expansion, where $N$ is the number of QCD colors. I show that the spin-flavor relations which hold for baryons in the large-$N$…
We present the ground-state energy spectra of dibaryons composed of single-flavor quarks, specifically systems with strangeness $\mathcal{S} = -6$ and charm $\mathcal{C} = 6$. Our lattice QCD study is based on $N_f=2+1+1$ MILC ensembles…

$\Omega^{-}$ baryon with sss quarks has been scarcely observed in the experiments so far and has been exploited through many theoretical studies only. Here, an attempt has been made to explore properties of $\Omega$ with hypercentral…
Starting from a consistent SU(6) extension of the Weinberg-Tomozawa (WT) meson-baryon chiral Lagrangian (Phys. Rev. D74 (2006) 034025), we study the s-wave meson-baryon resonances in the strangeness S=-3 and negative parity sector. Those…
The masses of ground and excited states of $\Omega_c^0$, $\Omega_{cc}^+$ and $\Omega_{ccc}^{++}$ baryons are calculated within the framework of Regge phenomenology. Here our attempt is to assign a possible spin-parity to these obtained…
The 1/N_c expansion provides a theoretical method for analyzing the spin-flavor symmetry properties of baryons in QCD that is quantitative, systematic and predictive. An exact spin-flavor symmetry exists for large-N_c baryons, whereas for…
In this article, we study the charmed baryon states $\Lambda_c(2625)$ and $\Xi_c(2815)$ with the spin-parity ${3\over 2}^-$ by subtracting the contributions from the corresponding charmed baryon states with the spin-parity ${3\over 2}^+$…
The interactions between two octet baryons are studied at low energies using lattice QCD (LQCD) with larger-than-physical quark masses corresponding to a pion mass of $m_{\pi}\sim 450$ MeV and a kaon mass of $m_{K}\sim 596$ MeV. The…
