In the past decade many charmonium-like states were observed experimentally. Especially those charged charmonium-like $Z_c$ states and bottomonium-like $Z_b$ states can not be accommodated within the naive quark model. These charged $Z_c$…
Recent evidence for the existence of pentaquark $\Theta^+$ particle from several experiments at several different laboratories around the world has caused great excitement and raised many unanswered questions. We discuss a new proposal on a…
We numerically analyse quantum survival probability fluctuations in an open, classically chaotic system. In a quasi-classical regime, and in the presence of classical mixed phase space, such fluctuations are believed to exhibit a fractal…
The new strange pentaquarks observed by LHCb are very likely hadronic molecules consisting of $\Xi_c \bar D$ and $\Xi_c \bar D^{*}.$ We discuss the experimental evidence supporting this conclusion, pointing out the similarities and…
The Theta+(1540), recently observed at LEPS, DIANA and CLAS, is hypothesized to be an isotensor resonance. This implies the existence of a multiplet where the Theta++, Theta+ and Theta0 have isospin-violating strong decays, and the Theta+++…
The origin of fluctuations in the average number of intermediate mass fragments seen in experiments in small projectile like fragments is discussed. We argue that these can be explained on the basis of a recently proposed model of…
A stochastic gravitational wave background causes the apparent positions of distant sources to fluctuate, with angular deflections of order the characteristic strain amplitude of the gravitational waves. These fluctuations may be detectable…
The microcanonical statistical approach is applied to study the production of pentaquark states in pp collisions. We predict the average multiplicity and average transverse momentum of Theta^{+}(1540) and Xi(1860) and their antiparticles at…
Narrow Xi-pi+- and Xi-bar+pi+- resonances produced by quasi-real photons have been searched for by the COMPASS experiment at CERN. The study was stimulated by the recent observation of an exotic baryonic state decaying into Xi-pi-, at a…
The newly observed $\Theta^+$ resonance is believed to be a pentaquark with the constituent quarks $uudd\bar s$. There are a few options for the constituent quark structure. Some advocate diquark-diquark-antiquark $(ud)$-$(ud)$-$\bar s$…
Temporal fluctuations in the Hadamard walk on circles are studied. A temporal standard deviation of probability that a quantum random walker is positive at a given site is introduced to manifest striking differences between quantum and…
Fluctuation scaling is observed phenomenon from complex networks through finance to ecology. It means that the variance and the mean of a specific quantity are related as $\ev{\sigma^2|n}\propto \ev{n|A}^{2\alpha}$ with $1/2\geq \alpha \geq…
Within the heavy pentaquark chiral perturbation theory, we calculate the chiral corrections for $J^P=\frac{3}{2}^-$ octet hidden-charm pentaquark masses up to next-to-leading order. Taking the LHCb-reported $P_{\psi}^N(4440)$ and $P_{\psi…
A general study of pentaquarks built with four quarks in a L=1 state and an antiquark in S-wave shows that several of such states are forbidden by a selection rule, which holds in the limit of flavour symmetry, to decay into a baryon and a…
$QQ^\prime qq\bar q$ pentaquarks are studied in a potential model, under the hypothesis that they are composite objects of two diquarks and one antiquark. The interaction between two colored objects includes two contributions, one based on…
In this work, the multiquark approach is used to analyze the spectroscopy of hidden-charm pentaquark states, motivated by recent discoveries at the LHCb collaboration. Using the SU(3) flavor representation, pentaquarks having $J^P = 5/2^-$…
This paper presents the results of inclusive searches for the strange pentaquark states $\Theta^+(1540)$, $\Xi_5^{--}(1860)$ and $\Xi_5(1860)^{0}$ as well as the anti-charm pentaquark state $\Theta_c(3099)^{0}$ in a dataset of 123.4…
Data from HERA, LEP and the Tevatron, as well as from low energy experiments are used to constrain the Yukawa couplings for scalar and vector leptoquarks in the Buchmuller-Ruckl-Wyler effective model. In the limit of very high leptoquark…
We explore the effect of fluctuations for $T \geq T_c$ in the 2-D negative Hubbard model within the framework of the selfconsistent T-matrix formalism, which goes beyond the BCS approximation and includes pair fluctuations. We enter the…
Using the one-boson-exchange model, we investigate the $\Lambda_c\bar{D}_s^*$, $\Sigma_c\bar{D}_s^*$, $\Sigma_c^*\bar{D}_s^*$, $\Xi_c\bar{D}^*$, $\Xi_c'\bar{D}^*$, and $\Xi_c^*\bar{D}^*$ interactions by considering the one-eta-exchange…
