We present a short review on the recent progresses that have been made in meson spectroscopy. We discuss the experimental discoveries made at the BaBar and Belle experiments, as well as the possible interpretations of the new resonances.
Progress in extracting the spectrum of excited hadron resonances is reviewed and the key issues and challenges in such computations are outlined. The importance of multi-hadron states as simulations are done with lighter pion masses is…

A fascinating new generation of experiments has determined certain meson scattering parameters at high precision. A confluence of highly sophisticated theory as well as new experimental ideas have led to this state of affairs, which sheds…
Recently, we reported the commissioning of the new cryogenic ion storage ring RICE, which demonstrated potential capabilities for the precise studies of molecular structures and reaction dynamics. In the present article, we describe the…
The quark potential model for mesons and its extension for hybrid mesons are used to study the effects of radial excitations on the masses, sizes and radial wave functions at the origin for conventional and hybrid charmonium mesons. These…
Multiquark searches have been a hot topic in recent years. Some threshold enhancements were observed during the analysis of 58M $\jpsi$ events collected by BES II detector. These enhancements can't be explained by the standard model and may…
We point out the peculiar form of the gravitational wave signal expected from a gas of particles carry spin 3/2 produced during preheating. Given the very few ways that gravitinos can manifest themselves in an experimentally observable way,…
We consider various possible identifications of the quantum numbers of the resonance D(2637) recently observed by DELPHI in the $D^*\pi\pi$ channel. We argue that in spite of a good agreement of the measured mass with the quark-model…
I review some of the recent experimental results on the so-called XYZ mesons.
Within an extended Skyrme soliton model for baryons the interplay between the collective radial motion and the SU(3)--flavor--rotations is investigated. The coupling between these modes is mediated by flavor symmetry breaking. Collective…
We study how multiple charge excitations appear in the resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra of metals. The single excitations in the problem are the plasmons and electron-hole pairs, and multi-excitation processes are usually…
Spectacular results of pulsar observations in X-ray and gamma-ray domains gave a new boost to theoretical models of pulsar magnetospheric activity. A challenging aspect of these efforts is that lightcurves and broadband energy spectra of…
In this talk I review recent advances on the structure of the meson and baryon resonances which can be dynamically generated from the interaction of mesons or mesons and baryons. Particular emphasis is put on results involving vector…
We have carried out a unified microscopic study of electric monopole, quadrupole and magnetic dipole excitations in fast rotating nuclei undergoing backbending, with special attention at the magnetic excitations. We found, among other…
Many candidate multiquark mesons, i.e., mesons with substructures that are more complex than the quark-antiquark prescription that is in the textbooks, have recently been observed. Many of the most recently observed candidate states are…
In this contribution I discuss recent developments in light meson spectroscopy, and note specific areas in which DAFNE is an especially appropriate tool for future experiments. One topic of special relevance is the spectroscopy of excited…
A new qualitative stringlike picture for mesons is proposed which leads to a simple and intuitively clear generalization of linear radial Regge trajectories to the case of massive quarks. The obtained universal relation is successfully…
Measurements of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays achieved remarkable progress in the last 10 years. Physicists, gathered from around the world in the symposium UHECR-2012 held at CERN on February 13-16 2012, reported their most up-to-date…
Pulsar systems are very good experimental laboratories for the fundamental physics in extreme environments which cannot be achieved on ground. For example, the systems are under conditions of high magnetic field strength, large…
