The problem of scalar mesons still remains a challenging puzzle, for which we do not even know which are the right pieces to set up. The proliferation of resonances (some of them are very broad and appear on top of hadronic thresholds) and…
Conventional hadronic matter consists of baryons and mesons made of three quarks and quark-antiquark pairs, respectively. The observation of a new type of hadronic state, a doubly charmed tetraquark containing two charm quarks, an anti-$u$…
The light scalar meson spectrum is studied using the improved ladder QCD with the UA(1) breaking Kobayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft interaction by solving the Schwinger-Dyson and Bethe-Salpeter equations. The dynamically generated…
We review two approaches to studying pseudoscalar meson-meson scattering amplitudes to beyond 1 GeV using non-linear and linear chiral Lagrangians. These approaches use two different unitarisation techniques - a generalised Breit Wigner…
Recent signals for narrow hadrons containing heavy and light flavours are compared with quark model predictions for spectroscopy, strong decays, and radiative transitions. In particular, the production and identification of excited charmed…
We succeed in reproducing the $\ell=1$ $B$ mesons, $B_1(5720)$, $B_2^*(5745)$, and $B_{s2}^*(5839)$ that are recently reported by D0 and CDF, by using our semirelativistic quark potentila model, which also succeeded in predicting the mass…
The discovery of the $D^\ast_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ resonances in the charmed-strange meson spectra revealed that formerly successful constituent quark models lose predictability in the vicinity of two-meson thresholds. The…
A generalized Lagrangian for the description of hadronic matter based on the linear $SU(3)_L \times SU(3)_R$ $\sigma$-model is proposed. Besides the baryon octet, the spin-0 and spin-1 nonets, a gluon condensate associated with broken scale…
Predicted masses of J^P=0^+ and 1^+ states of D_{sJ} and D by a potential model proposed some time ago by two of us (T.M. and T.M.), in which the Hamiltonian and wave functions are expanded in 1/m_Q with m_Q heavy quark mass respecting…
Since the discovery of $T_{cc}$ by LHCb, there has been considerable interest in $T_{cc}$ and its heavy-flavor partners. However, the study of its strange partner $T_{ss}$ has been largely overlooked. Within the framework of the chiral…
We discuss the implications of a possible quasinuclear DK bound state at 2.32 GeV. Evidence for such a state was recently reported in D_s^+pi^o by the BaBar Collaboration. We first note that a conventional quark model c-sbar assignment is…
The s-wave meson-baryon interaction in the $S = -1$ sector is studied by means of coupled-channels, using the lowest-order chiral Lagrangian and the N/D method to implement unitarity. The loops are regularized using dimensional…
We report the observation of a new DsJ meson produced in B+ -> D0-bar DsJ -> D0-bar D0 K+. This state has a mass of M = 2715 +-11(stat) +11-14(syst) MeV/c^2, a width Gamma = 115 +-20(stat) +36-32(syst) MeV/c^2 and a spin-parity 1-. The…
Combining heavy quark effective theory and the chiral Lagrangian approach we investigate radiative decays of pseudoscalar $D$ mesons. We first reanalyse $D^{*} \rightarrow D \gamma$ decays within the effective Lagrangian approach using…
We investigate the dynamical generation of charmonium-like ($I=0$) with spin-parity $J^{PC}=0^{++}, 1^{++}, 2^{++}$, and $3^{--}$ in the mass range of $3.6$ to $4.3$ GeV. We employ the off-shell coupled-channel formalism, constructing…
Elastic scattering amplitudes for $I=0$ $DK$ and $I=0,1$ $D\bar{K}$ are computed in $S$, $P$ and $D$ partial waves using lattice QCD with light-quark masses corresponding to $m_\pi = 239$ MeV and $m_\pi = 391$ MeV. The $S$-waves contain…

The strong decay properties of the higher excited heavy-light mesons from the first radially excited states up to the first $F$-wave states are studied in a constituent quark model. It is found many missing excitations have good potentials…
The $K\bar{K}^*$ interaction Lagrangian is constructed when the $SU(3)$ hidden gauge symmetry is taken into account, and then the $K\bar{K}^*$ potential is obtained. In the low energy region, the $K\bar{K}^*$ potential mainly comes from the…
