A high energy muon collider can provide new and complementary discovery potential to the LHC or future hadron colliders. Leptoquarks are a motivated class of exotic new physics models, with distinct production channels at hadron and lepton…
We propose a scenario in which Roper octet can mix with a putative antidecuplet of exotic baryons and predict the properties of its strange members. We show that 1795 MeV < M_Sigma_{\bar{10}} <1830 MeV and 1900 MeV < M_Xi_{\bar{10}}<1970…
By using the recent nonperturbative equation of state of the quark gluon plasma derived in the formalism of the Field Correlator Method, we investigate the bulk properties of the strange quark matter in beta-equilibrium and with charge…
The centrality dependence of (multi-)strange hadron abundances is studied for Pb(158 AGeV)Pb reactions and compared to p(158 GeV)Pb collisions. The microscopic transport model UrQMD is used for this analysis. The predicted Lambda/pi-,…
The Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian model is used to calculate masses for selected J^{PC} states consisting of exotic combinations of quarks and gluons: ggg glueballs (oddballs), q bar{q} g hybrid mesons and q bar{q} q bar{q} tetraquark systems.…
Dibaryons provide insight into the strong interaction beyond conventional hadrons. Strange dibaryons, containing strange quarks, are especially valuable for probing hyperon-nucleon (YN) and hyperon-hyperon (YY) interactions. We report…
It is pointed out that the recent data on strange baryon and antibaryon production in Pb-Pb collisions at 159 GeV/c agree well with the hypothesis of an intermediate state of quasi-free and randomly distributed constituent quarks and…
The strangeness content of nucleon form factors is analyzed in a two-component model with a quark-like intrinsic structure surrounded by a meson cloud. A comparison with the available experimental data from the SAMPLE, PVA4, HAPPEX and G0…
In two recent papers, we used the hadro-quarkonium model to study the properties of hidden-charm and bottom tetraquarks and pentaquarks. Here, we extend the previous results and calculate the masses of heavy-quarkonium-kaon/hyperon systems.…
Based on 334 pb$^{-1}$ of photoproduction data collected with the GlueX detector at Jefferson Lab, we have measured for the first time the cross section of the exclusive reaction $\gamma + p \to \phi(1020) \pi^+\pi^- p$ by reconstructing…
We use two-body potentials derived from a constituent quark cluster model to analyze the bound-state problem of the $\Sigma NN$ system. The observables of the two-body subsystems, $NN$ and $\Sigma N$, are well reproduced. We do not find…
The strange form factors of the nucleon are studied in a two-component model consisting of a three-quark intrinsic structure surrounded by a meson cloud. A comparison with the available experimental world data from the SAMPLE, PVA4, HAPPEX…
The pentaquark state recently discovered has been discussed based on various quark model calculations. Odd parity for the state can not be ruled out theoretically because contributions related to non-trivial color structures have not been…
We present a search for excited and exotic muon states mu*, conducted using an integrated luminosity of 371 pb^{-1} of data collected in p-pbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV at the Tevatron with the CDF II detector. We search for…
We present evidence for the existence of a light scalar particle that most probably couples exclusively to gluons and quarks. Theoretical and phenomenological arguments are presented to support the existence of a light scalar boson for…
A decay of a heavy hybrid is expected to produce light mesons flying out with speeds comparable to the speed of light and phenomenological models of the decay must respect symmetries of special relativity. We study consequences of this…
Hybrid meson energies are calculated in the static quark limit with the Dynamical Quark Model (DQM). In the DQM, transverse gluons are represented as effective constituents with a dynamically generated mass. Hybrid masses are determined…
The structure of $(\Omega\Omega)_{0^+}$ dibaryon with strangeness $s=-6$ is studied in the extended chiral SU(3) quark model, in which vector meson exchange dominates the short range interaction. The resonating group method (RGM) is…
We demonstrate that in a recently proposed unified leptoquark model based on the gauge group $SU(4)_C\times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_R$ significant deviations from the Standard Model values of $R_K$ and $R_{K^*}$ can be accommodated without any…
The primary motivation of the GlueX experiment is to search for and ultimately study the pattern of gluonic excitations in the meson spectrum produced in gamma p collisions. Recent lattice QCD calculations predict a rich spectrum of hybrid…
