We investigate the charmed baryon production reaction $p\bar{p}\rightarrow\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c$ in an effective Lagrangian approach. Besides the $t$-channel $D^0$ and $D^{*0}$ mesons exchanges, the $s$-channel $Y(4630)$ meson exchange…
We study the charmed baryon production reaction ${\bar p} p \to {\bar \Lambda}_c^- \Lambda_c^+$ using the $t$-channel $D^0$ and $D^{*0}$ meson exchange diagrams within an effective Lagrangian model involving the physical hadron masses and…
We study the production of charmed baryons in the antiproton-proton and antiproton-nucleus interactions within a fully covariant model that is based on an effective Lagrangian approach. The baryon production proceeds via the $t$-channel…
There are two apparent puzzles connected with the two-body and three-body doubly charmed baryonic B decays. First, earlier calculations based on QCD sum rules or the diquark model predict $Br(\bar B^0\to\Xi_c^+\bar\Lambda_c^-)\approx…
It is pointed out that the previously suggested interpretation of the hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ as molecular bound states of $\Sigma_c \bar D$ and $\Sigma_c \bar D^*$ baryon-meson pairs gives rise to…
The molecular assignments to the three $P_c$ states and the similar production mechanism between the $\Lambda_b\to P_c+K$ and $B\to XYZ+K$ convince us the $B$ decaying to a charmonium state plus light mesons could be the appropriate…
We study the $\bar D D$ (${\bar D}^0 D^0$ and $D^-D^+$) charm meson pair production in antiproton (${\bar p}$) induced reactions on nuclei at beam energies ranging from threshold to several GeV. Our model is based on an effective Lagrangian…
Stimulated by the meson-baryon molecular interpretations of the $P_c$ states ($P_c(4312)/P_c(4440)/P_c(4457)$), we systematically study the interactions between an $S-$wave charm-strange baryon $\Xi_c^{(\prime,*)}$ and an anti-charmed meson…
A possible interpretation of the near-threshold enhancement in the $(p\bar{p})$-mass spectrum in $J/\psi{\to}\gamma p{\bar p}$ is the of existence of a narrow baryonium resonance X(1860). Mesonic decays of the $(p\bar{p})$-bound state…
In this work, we perform a systematic study of possible molecular states composed of two charmed baryons including hidden-charm systems $\Lambda_c\bar{\Lambda}_c$, $\Sigma_c^{(*)}\bar{\Sigma}_c^{(*)}$, and $\Lambda_c\bar{\Sigma}_c^{(*)}$,…
We study the properties of charmed hadrons in dense matter within a coupled-channel approach which accounts for Pauli blocking effects and meson self-energies in a self-consistent manner. We analyze the behaviour in this dense environment…
In this work we discuss the interest of measuring the ratio of of $p\bar p$ annihilation into kaon and pion pairs near the threshold region, where $S$ state dominates. It is shown that a good agreement with existing data on the ratio of the…
In the quark-diagram scheme, we study the charmed baryon decays of ${\bf B}_c\to {\bf B}^* M$, where ${\bf B}_c$ is $\Lambda_c^+$ or $\Xi_c^{+(0)}$, together with ${\bf B}^*$ ($M$) the decuplet baryon (pseudoscalar meson). It is found that…
We report on a theoretical study of the hidden charm $N^*_{c \bar{c}}$ states in the $\gamma p \to \bar{D}^{*0} \Lambda^+_c$ reaction near threshold within an effective Lagrangian approach. In addition to the contributions from the…
The production of a $D\bar D$ meson-pair in antiproton-proton ($\bar p p$) annihilation close to the production threshold is investigated, with special emphasis on the role played by the $\psi$(3770) resonance. The study is performed in a…
Contrary to the reaction pbar + p --> e+ e- with a high momentum incident antiproton on a free target proton at rest, in which the invariant mass M of the (e+ e-) pair is necessarily much larger than the (pbar p) mass, in the reaction pbar…
We study two- and three-baryon systems with two units of charm looking for possible bound states or resonances. All two-baryon interactions are consistently derived from a constituent quark model tuned in the light-flavor hadron…
Identifying the t-channel exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, a surprisingly rich spectrum of molecules is formed. We argue that chiral symmetry and…
We study the $N \bar D$ system by means of a chiral constituent quark model. This model, tuned in the description of the baryon and meson spectra as well as the $NN$ interaction, provides parameter-free predictions for the charm -1…
The spectrum of the $c qq$ baryons contains a few states whose nature is not clearly a three-quark composite and which might have a sizable baryon-meson component. Examples include the $\Sigma_c(2800)$ or the $\Lambda_c(2940)$. Here we…
