In this work we calculate the decay widths of $\phi(2170)$ to $\phi\eta$ and $\phi\eta^\prime$ by considering $\phi(2170)$ as a $\phi K\bar K$ state, with $K\bar K$ clustering as $f_0(980)$. These decay widths have been recently determined…
The strong decays of the $D_{s1}(2710)$ and $D_{sJ}(2860)$ are investigated in the framework of the $^3P_0$ model. Its decay properties newly reported by the BaBar Collaboration can be reasonably accounted for in the presence of the…
The structure, spectroscopic parameters and width of the resonance with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ discovered by the COMPASS Collaboration and classified as the $a_1(1420)$ meson are examined in the context of QCD sum rule method. In…
The decays of $J/\psi\to \eta\phi f_0(980) (\eta\to \gamma\gamma, \phi \to K^+K^-, f_0(980)\to\pi^+\pi^-)$ are analyzed using a sample of $5.8 \times 10^{7}$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESII detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron…
The new particle $D^{*}_{s1}(2700)^{+}$ has stimulated many attentions. There are different assignments of its inherent properties. It may be a $2^3S_1$, $1^3D_1$ or the mixture of $2^3S_1-1^3D_1$ $c\bar s$ $1^-$ state. By considering its…
Decays of scalar mesons $K^*_0(800) \to K\pi$ and $K^*_0(1430) \to K\pi, K \eta, K \eta', K_1 \pi$ are described in the extended $U(3 ) \times U(3)$ Nambu - Jona-Lasinio chiral quark model. The obtained results are in satisfactory agreement…
We have investigated the $qss\bar{q}q$ ($q = u$ or $d$) system to find possible pentaquark explanations for the $\Xi$ resonances. The bound state calculation is carried out within the framework of the quark delocalization color screening…
We have systematically investigated the mass spectrum and rearrangement decay properties of the exotic tetraquark states with four different flavors using a color-magnetic interaction model. Their masses are estimated by assuming that the…
On the basis of the decay couplings f_0 -> \pi\pi, K\bar K, \eta\eta, \eta\eta', which had been found before, in the study of analytical (IJ^{PC}=00^{++})-amplitude in the mass range 450-1900 MeV, we analyse the quark-gluonium content of…
The total decay widths of the charmed baryons are calculated by means of the $^3P_0$ model. Our calculations consider in the final states: the charmed baryon-(vector/pseudoscalar) meson pairs and the (octet/ decuplet)…
A number of charmonium- and bottomonium-like meson states have been observed that have properties that do not match well to expectations for the simple quark-antiquark substructure suggested by the constituent quark model. Some of them are…
We discuss the stability of hidden and open heavy-flavor hadronic states made of either two or three mesons. References are made in passing to studies regarding two and three-body systems containing baryons. We perform a comparative study…
We describe a search for hadronic decays of the Y(1S), Y(2S), and Y(3S) resonances to the exclusive final states rho pi, K*(892) Kbar, rho a2(1320), omega f2(1270), phi f2'(1525), K*(892) K2*(1430)bar, b1(1235) pi, K1(1270) Kbar, and…
Measurements of the $B_s^0$--$\bar{B}_s^0$ mixing phase $\phi_s$ appear to be converging towards the SM prediction, suggesting that contributions from New Physics (NP), if present, are small. This poses the question of whether smallish NP…
We choose the Reduction Formula, PCAC and Low Energy Theory to reduce the $S$ matrix of a OZI allowed two-body strong decay involving a light pseudoscalar, the covariant transition amplitude formula with relativistic wave functions as input…
Partial decay widths of the heavy-light mesons, $D, D_s, B,$ and $B_s$, emitting one chiral particle ($\pi$ or $K$) are evaluated in the framework of a relativistic potential model. Decay amplitudes are calculated by keeping the Lorentz…
Currently, there is much controversy surrounding the interpretation of the $\Xi(2030)$ and $\Xi(2012)$ as traditional hadrons containing double strange quarks. In particular, the ratios of the partial decay widths into $\Lambda\bar{K}$ and…
The recent data for $J/\psi$ hadronic decays from BES raise ``puzzles" about the scalar meson properties, which are different from the naive OZI rule expectation. In this work, we study the implications of a glueball-$Q\bar{Q}$ mixing…
