Supersymmetric hadrons of the type $\tg\tg$, $\tg g$ and $\tg q\bar q$ could exist depending on the masses of the gluino and the squarks being in an appropriate range of values. We find the energy levels of $\tg g$ and $\tg q\bar q$ bound…

The structure function of a heavy quark in a heavy hadron in electroproduction is calculated from QCD. Its deviation from the parton model prediction (a delta function) is shown to be governed by a shape function, similar to the one…
In this work we use the heavy-quark-light-diquark picture to study the semileptonic decay $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c+l+\bar{\nu}_l$ in the so-called hybrid scheme. Namely, we apply the heavy quark effective theory (HQET) for larger $q^2$…
Heavy quarkonium hybrids are studied in an effective field theory framework. Coupled and uncoupled Schr\"odinger equations are obtained for different quantum numbers of the hybrid states. The results are discussed and compared to other…
