Several recent experiments have reported evidence for a narrow baryon resonance with positive strangeness ($\Theta^+$) at a mass of 1.54 GeV/$c^2$. Baryons with $S=+1$ cannot be conventional $qqq$ states and the reports have thus generated…
I review the recent proposal that there are new isotriplet heavy baryons with masses approximately 2380 MeV and 5760 MeV. This prediction follows from the application of heavy spin-flavor and light $SU(3)$ symmetries to the observed charmed…
We review ideas and speculations concerning possible bound states or resonances coupled to the nucleon-antinucleon channel.
In this work, I discuss neutron stars with hyperons and anti-kaon condensate. To fix their coupling constants with the vector mesons of the Quantum Hadrodynamics, I use a unified scheme imposing that the Yukawa coupling is an invariant…
Seesaw mechanism has been a dominant paradigm in the discussion of neutrino masses. I discuss how this idea can be tested via a baryon number violating process such as $N-\bar{N}$ oscillation. Since the expected seesaw scale is high and the…
It has recently been shown that by extending the minimal standard model to include a right-handed partner to $\nu_\tau$, it is possible to gauge the $B - 3 L_\tau$ quantum number consistently. If we add two scalar triplets, one trivial…
We enumerate the simplest models that have baryon number violation at the classical level but do not give rise to proton decay. These models have scalar fields in two representations of SU(3) x SU(2) x U(1) and violate baryon number by two…
The strange-anticharmed Pentaquark is a uud(cbar)s or udd(cbar)s five-quark baryon that is expected to be either a narrow resonance, or possibly even stable against strong decay. We describe this hyperon here; its structure, binding energy…
The chiral and $1/N_c$ expansions are combined in the description of low energy baryons. The combination furnishes a better behaved expansion, consequence of exactly eliminating large terms that violate the $1/N_c$ expansion and which are…
The $\psi$ decays provide a novel way to explore baryon spectroscopy and baryon structure. The baryon resonances observed from $\psi$ decays at BES are reviewed. The implications and prospects at upgraded BESIII/BEPCII are discussed.
The self-energies of the full set of flavor SU(3) octet and decuplet baryons are computed within a relativistic chiral effective theory framework. The leading nonanalytic chiral behavior is derived for the octet and decuplet masses, and a…
Baryons with a heavy c-quark or a heavy b-quark and also two c-quarks have been discovered. These states are expected in QCD and therefore provide a test for the theory. There should be double beauty baryons, and also an intriguing…
The SU(3) octet states with baryon number B = 2, hexaquark dibaryons, are considered. Decay coupling constants sum rules for dibaryon octet into two ordinary baryon octets with ?$\lambda_8$ first order SU(3) symmetry breaking are given. An…
The role of nonvalence, {\it e.g.} sea quarks and/or meson degrees of freedom in static and quasistatic baryon electroweak observables, is discussed within the phenomenological sum rule approach. The inclusion of nonvalence degrees of…
The observation of CP violation in meson decays is a testament to the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) quark mixing paradigm, and an integral part of the Standard Model (SM). The SM also predicts the existence of CP violation in baryon…
Supposing quark--diquark structure of baryons, we look for systematics of baryons composed of light quarks ($q=u,d$). We systematize baryons using the notion of two diquarks: (i) axial--vector state, $D^{1}_{1}$, with the spin $S_D=1$ and…
We find remarkable agreement with the observed excitations of hadrons with a simple three parameter mass relation of the SU(3) subgroup of the underlying U(15/30) graded Lie group. The baryons are the appropriate supersymmetric partners of…
Generation of the cosmological baryon asymmetry in SUSY based model with broken R-parity and low scale gravity is considered. The model allows for a long-life time or even stable proton and observable neutron-antineutron oscillations.
Strangeness contents of baryons are calculated within rigid rotator model for arbitrary number of colors $N_c$. The problem of extrapolation to realistic value $N_c=3$ is noted, based on explicit calculations and comparison of rigid rotator…
We sketch some recent ideas proposed as the mechanism behind the puzzling experimental results on baryon-antibaryon production in e+e- annihilation close to threshold. The essential new point in the proposed mechanism is that it is a…
