Quenched and unquenched quark models predict very different patterns for the spectrum of the low excited hyperon states. Evidence is accumulating for the existence of some new hyperon resonances, such as a $\Sigma^*$ of spin-parity…
The structures of N phi states with spin-parity J^{p}=3/2^- and J^p=1/2^- are dynamically studied in both the chiral SU(3) quark model and the extended chiral SU(3) quark model by solving a resonating group method (RGM) equation. The model…
Within a chiral constituent quark model approach, $\eta$-meson production on the proton {\it via} electromagnetic and hadron probes are studied. With few parameters, differential cross-section and polarized beam asymmetry for \gamma p \to…
We extend our relativistic quark model to the study of the decay Lambda_b -> Lambda_c ell nu and verify that the model satisfies the heavy-quark symmetry constraints at order 1/mQ^2. We isolate a strong dependence on a parameter which…
Re-analyzing the old pi N --> K Lambda data, the additional proof is given for the existence of the N(1710) P11 state, critically needed in light of reported observations of exotic Theta(1539) and Xi(1862) pentaquarks. An existing…
We study the possibility to bind eight quarks in a molecular hadronic system composed of two nucleons and an antikaon, with the quantum numbers of a hexaquark flavour, in particular with strangeness -1, isospin 1/2, parity -, baryonic…
Within the collective coordinate approach to chiral soliton models we suggest that breaking of SU(3) flavor symmetry mainly resides in the baryon wave-functions while the charge operators maintain a symmetric structure. Sizable symmetry…
We report on recent progress on the chiral unitary approach, which is shown to have a much larger convergence radius than ordinary chiral perturbation theory, allowing one to reproduce data for meson meson interaction up to 1.2 GeV and…
The polarization properties of the charmed Lambda^+_c baryon are investigated in weak non-leptonic four-body Lambda^+_c -> p + K^- + pi^+ + pi^0 decay. The probability of this decay and the angular distribution of the probability are…
We investigate the $K^- p \to \gamma \Sigma$ reaction using an effective Lagrangian approach within an isobar model framework. The model includes contributions from $s$-channel hyperon and hyperon resonance, $t$-channel $K$ and $K^*$,…
In these lectures I make an introduction to chiral unitary theory applied to the meson baryon interaction and show how several well known resonances are dynamically generated, and others are predicted. Two very recent experiments are…
We investigate the reaction of $\gamma N \to K \bar{K} N$ focusing on the photoproduction of $\Lambda(1520)$ and putative exotic $\Theta(1540)$. We consider various background production mechanisms including the production of vector mesons,…
S-wave $K^-p$ scattering into various channels near threshold are analyzed in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory with $\Lambda (1405)$ introduced as an independent field. This is the approach that predicted the critical density…

\pi and \eta decay modes of light baryon resonances are investigated within a chiral quark model whose hyperfine interaction is based on Goldstone-boson exchange. For the decay mechanism a modified version of the 3P0 model is employed. Our…
We study the structure of the baryon resonances $\Lambda(1405)$ and $\bar\Lambda(1405)$ in $J/\psi$ four body decays $J/\psi\to \Sigma\bar \Sigma \pi\pi$ in the framework of a coupled channel chiral unitary approach. With still sufficient…
The new experimental data of kaon photoproduction on the nucleon, gamma p -> K+ Lambda, have been analyzed by means of a multipoles model. Different from the previous models, in this analysis the resonance decay widths are constrained to…
Recent cross section data for the reaction gamma + p \to K^+ + Lambda are examined for evidence of scaling in both the low-t Regge domain and in the high \sqrt{s} and -t domain where constituent counting may apply. It is shown that the…
We study the Lambda_c decay process to pi^+ and the meson-baryon final state for the analysis of Lambda resonances. Considering the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix, color suppression, diquark correlation and the kinematical condition, we…
A $\Sigma^*$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P = 1/2^-$ and mass in the vicinity of the $\bar{K}N$ threshold has been predicted in the unitary chiral approach and inferred from the analysis of CLAS data on the $\gamma p \to K^+ \pi^0…
