Several recent experiments have reported evidence for a narrow feature in the K(+)-neutron system, an apparent resonant state ~ 100 MeV above threshold and with a width < 25 MeV. This state has been labelled as Theta(+) (previously as…
We discuss model independent methods to measure the $P$-parity of the $\Theta^+$-pentaquark, in the simplest processes of photoproduction, $\gamma+N\to \bar{K}+\Theta^+$, using definite relations between T-even polarization observables,…
We study strange and charmed baryon productions, ${\pi + p \rightarrow K(D) + Y(Y_c)}$, where ${Y(Y_c)}$ is a strange(charmed) baryon of a ground or an excited state. We propose a new production mechanism where two quarks in the baryon…
The Majorana nature of neutrinos can be experimentally verified only via {\it lepton-number} violating processes involving charged leptons. We study 36 lepton-number violating ($\lv$) processes from the decays of tau leptons and…
Strange hadrons have been suggested as sensitive probes of the properties of the nuclear matter created in heavy-ion collisions. At few-GeV collision energies, the formed medium is baryon-rich due to baryon stopping effect. In these…
We report on the SVD-2 experiment data analysis aimed to search for an exotic baryon state, the $\Theta^+$-baryon, in a $pK^0_s$ decay mode with IHEP U-70 accelerator proton beam at $70 GeV/c$. A resonant structure with…
The tight-coupling approximation (TCA) used to describe the early dynamics of the baryons-photons system is systematically built to higher orders in the inverse of the interaction rate. This expansion can be either used to grasp the…
Strange particle enhancement in relativistic ion collisions is discussed with particular attention to the dependence on the size of the volume and/or the baryon number of the system.
We build upon the remarkable, model independent constraints on the equation of state of dense baryonic matter established recently by Annala et al. [1]. Using the quark-meson coupling model, an approach to nuclear structure based upon the…
We search for the strange pentaquark $\Theta^+$ using kaon interactions in the material of the Belle detector. No signal is observed in the $p K_S$ final state, while in the $p K^-$ final state we observe $\sim 1.6 \cdot 10^4$…
A search is presented for a massive particle, generically referred to as a Z', decaying into a t t-bar pair. The search focuses on Z' resonances that are sufficiently massive to produce highly Lorentz-boosted top quarks, which yield…
It is shown that the exotic non-qqq hadrons of pentaquark $qqqq\bar{q}$ states can be clearly distinguished from the conventional qqq-baryon resonances or their hybrids if the flavor of $\bar{q}$ is different from any of the other four…
We introduce additional coalescence factors for the production of strange baryons in a multiphase transport (AMPT) model in order to describe the enhanced production of multistrange hadrons observed in Pb-Pb collisions at $\rm…
The Large Hadron Collider can do precision physics at a level that is competitive with electroweak precision constraints when probing physics beyond the Standard Model. We present a simple yet general parameterization of the effect of an…
Baryon resonance state with strangeness $S = +1$ observed in systems $p K^0$ and $n K^+$ is interpreted as a result of the decay $N^{*+} \to p \eta$ of the well-known resonance $N^*(1535)$ (with spin-parity $j^P = {1/2}^-$ and mass $m…
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…
The sensitivity of top quark pair production at the Large Hadron Collider to the presence and nature of an underlying Z' boson is studied, accounting for six-fermion decay with full tree-level Standard Model ttbar interference and all…
Recently the so-called $\Theta^+$ resonance has been reported first from SPring8\cite{nakano} and many following experiments showed apparent confirmation of the state. Since $\Theta^+$ exclusively decays into either $K^+ n$ or $K^0 p$, it…
In the present work, we studied the $Z_{cs}^+$ exotic state production in the $B^+$ meson decays through the meson loop mechanism, where the $B^+$ meson decays into an anti-charmed meson and a charmed-strange meson pair, and consequently…
We consider the effect of an exotic S=+1 $\Theta^+$ resonance on the scattering of neutral kaons off protons. Explicit results are presented for the $K^0_L p$ total cross sections.
