We study the pion-baryon scattering process $\pi+B \to (n-1)\pi+B$ in a QCD theory with a large number (N_c) of colors. It is known that this scattering amplitudes decreases with N_c like N_c^{1-n/2}, and that its individual tree diagrams…
Starting from the multi-local Klein-Gordon equations with Lorentz-scalar squared-mass operator we give a covariant quark representation of the general composite mesons and baryons with definite Lorentz transformation property. The…
We determine baryon-baryon bound states in 3+1 dimensional ${\rm SU}(3)$ lattice QCD with two flavors, $4\times 4$ spin matrices, and in an imaginary time formulation. For small hopping parameter, $\kappa>0$, and large glueball mass (strong…
L=1 excited heavy baryon masses are analyzed by heavy quark and large N_c expansions. In heavy quark limit, mass is parameterized by \Lambda-bar and it is expanded further by spin-flavor breaking operators to the zeroth order of 1/N_c.…
Neutrino oscillation experiments presently suggest that neutrinos have a small but finite mass. If neutrinos are to have mass, there should be a Lorentz frame in which they can be brought to rest. This paper discusses how Wigner's little…
A systematic expansion in 1/N is constructed for baryons in QCD. Predictions of the 1/N expansion at leading and subleading order for baryon axial current coupling constant ratios such as F/D, baryon masses and magnetic moments are derived.…
Recent results of meson photo-production at the existing electron machines with polarized real photon beams and the measurement of polarization observables of the final state baryons have provided high precision data that led to the…
We study the baryonic sector of QCD with quarks in the two index symmetric or antisymmetric representation. The minimal gauge invariant state that carries baryon number cannot be identified with the Skyrmion of the low energy chiral…
It has recently been suggested that the parity doublet structure seen in the spectrum of highly excited baryons may be due to effective chiral symmetry restoration for these states. We review the recent developments in this field. We…
Baryonic states are sufficiently complex to reveal physics that is hidden in the mesonic bound states. Using gauge/gravity correspondence we study analytically and numerically baryons in theories with space-dependent $\theta$-term, or…
We study the scaling of decoherence of decoupled electron spin qubits due to hyperfine interaction. For a superposed state consisting of product states from a single Zeeman manifold, both $T_2^*(n)$ and $T_2(n)$ are scale-free with respect…
We study the twist-3 spin-orbit correlations of quarks described by the nucleon matrix elements of the parity-odd rank-2 tensor QCD operator (the parity-odd partner of the QCD energy-momentum tensor). Our treatment is based on the effective…
Recent results studying the masses and widths of low-lying baryon resonances in lattice QCD are presented. The $S$-wave $N\pi$ scattering lengths for both total isospins $I = 1/2$ and $I = 3/2$ are inferred from the finite-volume spectrum…
We present results for exclusive $b\to c$ semileptonic decays of ground state triply-heavy baryons and for semileptonic $c\to s,d$ decays of doubly heavy ground state $cb$ baryons. In both cases, we have derived for the first time heavy…
We study aspects of the large-N volume independence on R**3 x L**G, where L**G is a G-site lattice for Yang-Mills theory with adjoint Wilson-fermions. We find the critical number of lattice sites above which the center-symmetry analysis on…
It is argued from the systematics of spin-depen\-dent forces between quarks that two proposed baryon states, named $\Sigma_c(2380)$ and $\Sigma_b(5760)$, do not exist.
We show that the two complementary pictures of large $N_c$ baryons - the single-quark orbital excitation about a symmetric core and the meson-nucleon resonance -- are compatible for $\ell$ = 3 SU(4) baryons. The proof is based on a simple…
Recent work unambiguously resolves the level of charge symmetry violation in moments of parton distributions using 2+1-flavor lattice QCD. We introduce the methods used for that analysis by applying them to determine the strong contribution…
QCD-inspired phenomenological analysis of experimental moments of proton and deuteron structure functions F2 have been presented. The obtained results on the d/u ratio at large-x, isospin dependence of higher twists and comparison with…
We evaluate the widths for the strong decays $\Sigma_c\to\Lambda_c \pi$, $\Sigma_c^*\to\Lambda_c \pi$ and $\Xi_c^{*}\to\Xi_c \pi$. The calculations have been done within a nonrelativistic constituent quark model with wave functions that…
