The three pentaquark candidates Theta^+(1530), Xi(1862) and Theta^0_c(3100) have been studied in ep collisions at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt{s}=300-318 GeV using the full luminosity of the HERA-I data. Searches for narrow baryonic states…
We propose that the recently discovered \Theta baryon is a bound state of four quarks and an antiquark, containing two highly correlated ud-pairs. If so, the \Theta baryon has positive parity, and it lies in an near-ideally mixed SU(3)_{f}…
We present an estimate of the partial width of X(3872) into p p-bar under the assumption that it is a weakly-bound hadronic molecule whose constituents are a superposition of the charm mesons D^{*0} D-bar^0 and D^{0} D-bar^{*0}. The p p-bar…
The newly observed $\Sigma_b(6097)$ provides us a good chance to further construct the high excited states of the bottom baryon family. In this work, we explain the $\Sigma_b(6097)$ to be a $1P$ state with $J^P=5/2^-$ or $3/2^-$ by giving…
We re-analyze the published data on the Y(4630) --> Lambda_c Lambdabar_c and the Y(4660) --> psi(2S) pi pi with a consistent Ansatz and we find that the two observations are likely to be due to the same state Y_B with M_{Y_B} = 4660.7 +-…
The conspicuous threshold enhancement has been observed in the baryon-antibaryon subchannels of many three-body B decay modes. By examining the partial waves of baryon-antibaryon, we first show for B- -->pp-bar K- that the pK- angular…
The $X(3872)$ could be a shallow $D\bar D^*$ bound state, a compact four-quark state, or a partially composite particle, i.e. a superposition of the two. We will review how these hypotheses could be tested experimentally, examining…
In this talk, we present a new interpretation for the recently observed $\Xi(1820)$ resonance. We recall that the chiral unitary approach for the interaction of pseudoscalar mesons with the baryons of the decuplet predicts two states for…
The recent discovery of a narrow resonance in the decay $J/\psi \to \gamma p \bar{p}$ is described as a zero baryon number, ``deuteron-like singlet ${}^1S_0 $'' state. The difference in binding energy of the deuteron (-2.225 MeV) and of the…
We present a systematical study of two-body and three-body charmless baryonic B decays. Branching ratios for two-body modes are in general very small, typically less than $10^{-6}$, except that $\B(B^-\to p \bar\Delta^{--})\sim 1\times…
Using a sample of $1.31 \times 10^{9}$ $J/\psi$ events collected by the BESIII detector at BEPCII during 2009 and 2012, we study the $J/\psi \rightarrow \omega \eta' \pi^{+}\pi^{-}$ hadronic process. For the first time, we measure the…
Searches for narrow baryonic states in the K0s-p, K+p, Xi-pi and bar{X}+pi decay channels are reported. The data were collected with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of 121 pb-1. The searches were performed in the…
Mass spectra and decay properties of the low-lying orbital excited $\Xi_c^{(\prime)}$ baryons are investigated in the framework of the chiral quark model and quark pair creation mechanism, which are mainly based on the recently experimental…
We consider properties of narrow baryon states observed recently in reaction $pp\to p\pi^+X$. Two lowest of them (with mass 1004 and 1044 MeV, respectively) are stable against strog decay. Moreover we conclude that they cannot decay to…
We study exotic baryon systems composed of anticharmed mesons and strange baryons using the extended local hidden gauge approach. By solving the coupled-channel Bethe-Salpeter equation with interaction kernels from vector meson exchange, we…
We conduct an investigation on the $1P$- and $2P$-wave charmed baryons using the methods of QCD sum rules and light-cone sum rules within the framework of heavy quark effective theory. Our results suggest that the $\Lambda_c(2910)^+$,…
Nonleptonic weak decays of Xi_c into pi^+ and a meson (M)-baryon (B) final state, MB, are analyzed from the viewpoint of probing S=-2 baryon resonances, i.e. Xi(1620) and Xi(1690), of which spin-parity and other properties are not well…
A new scheme of state classification is proposed and applied to analyze masses of the heavy baryons $\Omega_{Q}$, $\Sigma_{Q}$ and $\Xi_{Q}^{\prime}$ in P-waves. The results confirm all excited $\Omega_{c}$ and $\Omega_{b}$ baryons reported…
We address mixing of different baryonic states in hypernuclei and formation of strange nuclei of various kinds. First, production of neutron-rich Lambda hypernuclei by the (pi-,K+) reaction is considered, and one-step production via…
A lower bound of 135 MeV for the width of the \xi meson is obtained from analyzing the pp and pbar-p interactions by use of Regge theory. The pp data exclude a narrow \xi as the latter would lead to total pbar-p cross sections far exceeding…
