Invoked by the recent CMS observation regarding candidates of the $\chi_b(3P)$ multiplet, we analyze the ultrafine and mass splittings among $3P$ multiplet in our unquenched quark model (UQM) studies. The mass difference of $\chi_{b2}$ and…
The difference between Z(4430) as a $D^{*}D_1$ molecule and a tetraquark state and how to distinguish between them are discussed. We construct an effective Lagrangian with $D^{*}D_1$ contact interactions constrained by the heavy quark…
We perform a lattice study of heavy baryons, containing one ($\Lambda_b$) or two $b$-quarks ($\Xi_b$). Using the quenched approximation we obtain for the mass of $\Lambda_b$ $$ M_{\Lambda_b}= 5.728 \pm 0.144 \pm 0.018 {\rm GeV}.$$ The mass…
A measurement of the mass difference between the top and the antitop quark (Delta m(t) = m(t) - m(anti-t)) is performed using events with a muon or an electron and at least four jets in the final state. The analysis is based on data…
Based upon the Bonn meson-exchange model for the nucleon-nucleon ($NN$) interaction, we study systematically the charge-symmetry-breaking (CSB) of the $NN$ interaction due to nucleon mass splitting. Particular attention is payed to CSB…

The mass shifts of the $P$-wave $D_s$ and $B_s$ mesons due to coupling to $DK$, $D^*K$ and $BK$, $B^*K$ channels are studied using the chiral quark-pion Lagrangian without fitting parameters. The strong mass shifts down $\sim 140$ MeV and…

We determine the bottom $\bar{\rm MS}$ quark mass $\bar{m}_b$ and the quark mass in the potential subtraction scheme from moments of the $b\bar{b}$ production cross section and from the mass of the Upsilon 1S state at…
The first and second families of D-wave $b \bar b$ quarkonium states are expected to have masses near 10.16 and 10.44 GeV/$c^2$. The accuracy of these predictions is discussed, and the prospects of two methods for producing these states in…
The LHCb experiment has recently reported two excited $\Omega_c$ resonances decaying to $\Xi_c^+ K^-$, with masses about 3185 and 3327 MeV. We discuss their assignment to $2S_{1/2}$ and $2S_{3/2}$ states, which can be compared with masses…
