We present a systematic investigation of the possible molecular states composed of a pair of doubly charmed baryons ($\Xi_{cc}\Xi_{cc}$) or one doubly charmed baryon and one doubly charmed antibaryon $(\Xi_{cc}\bar{\Xi}_{cc})$ within the…
A search for the hadronic decays of the $h_{c}$ meson to the final states $p\bar{p}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\pi^{0}$, $p\bar{p}\eta$, and $p\bar{p}\pi^0$ via the process $\psi(3686) \to \pi^{0}{h_c}$ is performed using $(4.48\pm0.03)\times10^{8}$…
In this short note we examine the exclusive three-body B --> Lambdabar p eta' decay using a simple pole model involving a scalar intermediate resonance state. Our aim is to test the recently formulated hypothesis that charmless baryonic B…
We comment on the quantum numbers and decay channels of the possible proton antiproton bound state observed by BES Collaboration. Based on the general symmetry consideration and available experimental information, we conclude that the…
In this work, we perform an investigation of possible molecular states composed of two charmed strange baryons from the $\Xi_c^{(',*)}{\Xi}_c^{(',*)}$ interaction, and their hidden-charm hidden-strange partners from the…
Inspired by the LHCb's newest observation of two new excited $\Xi_b^0$ states, we systematically study the strong decays of the low-lying $\lambda$- and $\rho$-modes $1D$-wave $\Xi_{b}$ and $\Xi^{'}_{b}$ baryons using the chiral quark model…
We examine the nature of the unknown enhancement around 3 GeV observed by the BABAR collaboration in the $m_{p\bar p}$ spectrum of the $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^0$ decay. Suspecting that the peak is a resonance, which can be neither identified…
A resonance $Y(4630)$ at the invariant mass spectrum of $\Lambda_c \bar\Lambda_c$ observed by the Belle Collaboration triggers a hot discussion about its inner structure. Since it preferably decays into two charmed baryons…
The status of exclusive two-body and three-body baryonic B decays is reviewed. The threshold enhancement effect in the dibaryon invariant mass and the angular distributions in the dibaryon rest frame are stressed and explained. Weak…
Using 13.7 $fb^{-1}$ of data recorded by the CLEO detector at CESR, we report evidence for two new charmed baryons: one decaying into $\Xi_c^{0 \prime}\pi^+$ with the subsequent decay $\Xi_c^{0 \prime} \to \Xi_c^0 \gamma$, and its isospin…
With about 12 fb$^{-1}$ of collected data useful for the study of $XYZ$ states, BESIII collaboration continues the exploration of these exotic charmoniumlike states. Recent results of the measurements of the line-shape of…
The high prompt production cross section of X(3872) at hadron colliders has shown to be very informative about the quark nature of the X, Y, Z states. We present here a number of results on X production in pp(pbar) collisions obtained with…
The newest progress on the study of the strangeness in the proton and in the lowest negative parity nucleon excited state $N^*(1535)$ is reviewed. Implications on the internal quark structure of the proton, $N^*(1535)$ and other baryons are…
Recently LHCb reported the discovery of four extremely narrow excited $\Omega_b$ baryons decaying into $\Xi_b^0 K^-$. We interpret these baryons as bound states of a $b$-quark and a $P$-wave $ss$-diquark. For such a system there are exactly…
We present a model for the $J/\psi\Lambda$ spectrum in $B^-\to J/\psi \Lambda \bar{p}$ decays, including the $P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4338)$ baryon recently observed by the LHCb collaboration. We assume production via triangle diagrams which…
A spate of remarkable new hadrons reported in 2003 may lead to unequivocal proof of states beyond conventional $q\bar{q}$ and $qqq$ structure. Claimed baryonic states Theta+, Phi, and Theta^0_c would consist of five quarks, and new…
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,…
Using $(27.12 \pm 0.14) \times 10^{8}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, the decay of $\psi(3686) \to \Omega^- K^+ \bar{\Xi}^0 +c.c.$ is observed for the first time. The branching fraction of this decay is…
The $J/\Psi$ decay into a baryon pair and a pseudoscalar meson is computed, for some channels, in lowest order in perturbative QCD, modeling the baryon with a quark-diquark system. We use a set of parameters that has been proposed by some…
