We consider hard exclusive production of exotic hadrons to study their internal structure. Revisiting the constituent-counting rule for the large-angle exclusive scattering, we discuss general features expected for the production cross…
We study the productions of charmed baryons ${\bar \Lambda}_c^- \Lambda_c^+$, ${\bar \Lambda}_c^- \Sigma_c^+$, and ${\bar \Sigma}^- \Sigma_c^+$ in the antiproton-proton collisions within an effective Lagrangian model that has only the…
Heavy ion collisions (HIC) at high energies are excellent ways for producing heavy hadrons and composite particles. With upgraded detectors at RHIC and LHC, it has become possible to measure hadrons beyond their ground states. Therefore,…
A search for narrow Theta(1540)^+, a candidate for pentaquark baryon with positive strangeness, has been performed in an exclusive proton-induced reaction p+C(N) \to Theta^+ \bar{K}^0 + C(N) on carbon nuclei or quasifree nucleons at…
Rapidity distributions of net hyperons ($\Lambda - \overline{\Lambda}$) are compared to distributions of participant protons ($p - \overline{p}$). Strangeness production (mean multiplicities of produced $\Lambda/\Sigma^0$ hyperons and…

The 2m propane bubble chamber experimental data have been analyzed to search for an exotic baryon state, the $\Theta^+$ -baryon, in the $pK^0_s$ decay mode for the reaction p+$C_3H_8$ at 10 GeV/c. The $pK^0_s$ invariant mass spectrum shows…
The strange quark plays a unique role in QCD, reflecting its intermediate mass between the light and heavy quarks. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the spectroscopy of baryons with strangeness. Many new features of the…
Recent measurements of the asymmetries between Feynman $x$ distributions of strange and antistrange hadrons in $\pi^- A$ interactions show a strong effect as a function of $x_F$. We calculate strange hadron production in the context of the…
We calculate the baryon-meson coupling constants for the spin-1/2 baryonic octet and spin-3/2 decuplet in a unified approach relying on symmetry arguments such as the fact that the Yukawa couplings, present in the Lagrangian density of the…

During the last three years strong experimental evidence from $B$ and charm factories has been accumulating for the existence of exotic hadronic quarkonia, narrow resonances which cannot be made from a quark and an antiquark. Their masses…
