Extending the SU(3) flavour symmetry breaking expansion from up, down and strange sea quark masses to partially quenched valence quark masses allows an extrapolation to the charm quark mass. This approach leads to a determination of charmed…
We propose a new method to study mixed symmetric multiplets of baryons in the context of the $1/N_c$ expansion approach. The simplicity of the method allows to better understand the role of various operators acting on spin and flavour…
The $I(J^P)={1\over 2}({1\over 2}^-)$, ${1\over 2}({3\over 2}^-)$, and ${1\over 2}({5\over 2}^-)$ $uudc\overline{c}$ pentaquarks are investigated by the quark cluster model. This model, which reproduces the mass spectra of the color-singlet…
We estimate the mass of the pentaquark state with QCD sum rules and find that pentaquark states with isospin $I=0, 1, 2$ lie close to each other around $(1.55\pm 0.15)$ GeV. The experimentally observed baryon resonance $\Theta^+ (1540)$…
We derive general analytic formulae for the matrix elements of the SU(6) generators for mixed symmetric $[N_c-1,1]$ spin-flavor states with an arbitrary number $N_c$ of quarks. They are relevant for baryon spectroscopy in the $1/N_c$…
We study the decays of the anti-triplet charmed baryon state $(\Xi_c^0,\Xi_c^+,\Lambda_c^+)$ based on the $SU(3)$ flavor symmetry. In particular, after predicting ${\cal B}(\Xi_c^0\to \Xi^-\pi^+)=(15.7 \pm 0.7)\times 10^{-3}$ and ${\cal…
Using the $1/N_c$ expansion of QCD we analyze the spectrum of positive parity resonances with strangeness $S = 0, -1, -2$ and -3 in the 2-3 GeV mass region, supposed to belong to the $[\textbf{56},4^+]$ multiplet. The mass operator is…
Lattice Monte Carlo calculations of baryon spectroscopy in gauge groups SU(N), N=3, 5, 7, are presented. The quenched valence fermions come in three flavors, two degenerate mass ones and a third heavier flavor. The data shows striking…
A number of candidate multiquark hadrons, i.e., particle resonances with substructures that are more complex than the quark-antiquark mesons and three-quark baryons that are prescribed in the textbooks, have recently been observed. In this…
Hadronic states composed of multi-quark flavors may exist in reality since they are not prohibited by QCD. Compact four quark systems of color singlet are classified as tetraquarks. To understand the properties of these states, more…
We report on a recent chiral extrapolation, based on an SU(3) framework, of octet baryon masses calculated in 2+1-flavour lattice QCD. Here we further clarify the form of the extrapolation, the estimation of the infinite-volume limit, the…
In the framework chiral SU(3) quark model, the baryon spectra within the band of $N\leq 2$ are studied, and the effect of the confining potential in different configurations, namely the $\Delta$-mode and Y-mode are compared. In the same…
