The scalar meson $f_{0}(980)$ has long posed a perplexing puzzle within the realm of light hadron physics. Conventionally, its mass and width in normal decay processes have been estimated as $M=990\pm20$~MeV/$c^2$ and $\Gamma=40-100$~MeV,…
We present a detailed study of the partial decay widths of a spin-parity resonance $J^P=3/2^-$ $N^*$ with a mass of $\simeq$ 2070 MeV obtained from the coupled channel s wave vector-baryon $\rho N$, $\omega N$, $\phi N$, $K^*\Lambda$ and…
Partial widths of the radiative decays $\phi(1020)\to\gamma f_0(980)$, $\gamma\eta$, $\gamma\eta'$, $\gamma\pi^0$ and $f_0(980)\to\gamma\gamma$ are calculated assuming all mesons under consideration to be $q\bar q$ states: $\phi(1020)$ is…
We analyze the hadronic and radiative decay modes of the recently observed $D_{sJ}(2317)$ meson, in the hypothesis that it can be identifield with the scalar $s_\ell^P={1\over 2}^+$ state of $c \bar s$ spectrum ($D_{s0}$). The method is…
We present measurements of the masses and decay widths of the baryonic states $\Sigma_{c}(2455)^{0/++}$ and $\Sigma_{c}(2520)^{0/++}$ using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the Belle…
We examine the decays of excited heavy mesons, including the leading power corrections to the heavy quark limit. We find a new and natural explanation for the large deviation of the width of the $D_1(2420)$ from the heavy quark symmetry…
We report evidence of a narrow structure, $X(5568)$, in the decay sequence $X(5568) \rightarrow B_s^0 \pi^{\pm}$, $B_s^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \phi$, $J/\psi\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$, $\phi \rightarrow K^+K^-$. This is evidence for the first…
The $X(3872)$ is theoretically predicted to have a spin-0 partner state denoted as $X_0$. Assuming the $X_0$ as a $D\bar{D}$ molecular bound state, we calculate the decay widths of $X_0\to VV$ and $X_0 \to PP$ ($V$ and $P$ stand for light…
We present an approach to study the decay modes of the $J/\psi$ into a vector meson and a tensor meson, taking into account the nature of the $f_2(1270)$, $f'_2(1525)$, $\bar{K}^{* 0}_2(1430)$ resonances as dynamically generated states from…
New measurements on cross sections in $e^+e^-\to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$, $h_c\pi^+\pi^-$, $D^0D^{*-}\pi^++c.c.$, $\psi(2S)\pi^+\pi^-$, $\omega\chi_{c0}$ and $J/\psi\eta$ channels have been carried out by BESIII, Belle and BABAR collaborations,…
Using a sample of $(10087\pm44)\times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events, which is about 45 times larger than that was previously analyzed, a further investigation on the $J/\psi\rightarrow \gamma 3(\pi^+\pi^-)$ decay is performed. A significant…
We calculate the decay widths of both the second and the third radial excitations of $\eta$ and $\eta'$ within the framework of $^3P_0$ model. After comparing the theoretical decay widths and decay patterns with the available experimental…
The observed resonance peak around 2.86 GeV has been carefully reexamined by the LHCb collaboration and it is found that under the peak there reside two states $D^*_{s1}(2860)$ and $D^*_{s3}(2860)$ which are considered as $1^3D_1(c\bar s)$…
This thesis examines three problems of the quark model, split between two general areas. The general areas are: 1) models of meson decay ($^3P_0$ and flux-tube breaking), 2) final state interactions (FSI's). The three specific problems are:…
The strong decays of the two resonances $\eta(2225)$ and $\phi(2170)$ are discussed for selected decay channels. The two resonances are considered as the $\Lambda \bar{\Lambda}$ bound states in the molecular scenario. The phenomenological…
We examine the nature of the unknown enhancement around 3 GeV observed by the BABAR collaboration in the $m_{p\bar p}$ spectrum of the $\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^0$ decay. Suspecting that the peak is a resonance, which can be neither identified…
We study the decay properties of a $D(2900)$ state, with spin-parity $0^-$, whose existence was proposed in an earlier study of the $D K\bar K$ and coupled channel system. It was found in the former work that a $D$-meson appears with a mass…
Inspired by the recent measurement of the process $e^+e^-\rightarrow \Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$, we calculate the mass spectrum of the $\phi$ meson with the GI model. For the excited vector strangeonium states $\phi(3S,~4S,~5S,~6S)$ and…
The decay width and the mass of the D_s1(2536) have been measured via the decay channel D_s1 -> D*+K_S using 232 fb^-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- storage ring. The result for the decay…
The decay widths of $\Upsilon(nS)$ $\rightarrow$ $\bar{d}^{\ast}(2380)+X$ with $n=1,2,3$ are studied in a phenomenological way. With the help of crossing symmetry, the decay widths are obtained by investigating the imaginary part of the…
