Using flavor SU(3) symmetry for the light quarks validated by the available experimental data, we propose an intuitive way to hunt for a scalar glueball in B decays. In the presence of mixing between the glueball and ordinary scalar mesons,…
The exotic J^{PC}= 1^{-+} resonance {\pi}_{1}(1600)is examined in the framework of the Quark Model with Constituent Gluon (QMCG). We report the possibility of interpreting that resonance as quark-antiquark-gluon hybrid meson, with a masse =…
It is thought that strong interactions within the Standard Model can generate bound-states in which non-Abelian gauge-bosons play a dual role, serving both as force and matter fields. In this context we introduce a novel approach to the…
The chromoelectric polarizability of mesons governs the strength of the gluonic van der Waals force and therefore of non-quark-exchange processes in hadronic physics. We compute the polarizability of heavy mesons with the aid of lattice…
We propose some extensions of the quark potential model to hybrids, fit them to the lattice data and use them for the purpose of calculating the masses, root mean square radii and wave functions at the origin of the conventional and hybrid…
We interpret the spectrum of meson states recently obtained in non-perturbative lattice QCD calculations in terms of constituent quark-antiquark bound states and states, called `hybrids', in which the qqbar pair is supplemented by an…
Ground and first radially excited scalar isoscalar meson states and a scalar glueball are described in a nonlocal U(3)xU(3) quark model. The glueball is introduced into the effective meson Lagrangian by means of the dilaton model on the…
Preliminary results for the spectra of excited and exotic bottom mesons are presented. The calculation on a dynamical anisotropic ensemble exploits distillation, enabling the use of a large basis of interpolating operators including those…
We investigate transition form factors of $B$ meson decays into a scalar glueball in the light-cone formalism. Compared with form factors of $B$ to ordinary scalar mesons, the $B$-to-glueball form factors have the same power in the…
The study of b-hadrons made possible a great number of benchmark results in flavour physics. In recent years a lot of effort in understanding their dynamics has been done. These studies can represent a possible avenue for the discovery of…
I review lattice QCD results for hybrid mesons, including a discussion of their hadronic decays.
This work analyses hadronic decays of exotic mesons, with a focus on the lightest one, the $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$ $\pi_{1}$, in a fully relativistic formalism, and makes comparisons with non-relativistic results. We also discuss Coulomb gauge…
In this review talk I summarize theoretical expectations for properties of hybrid mesons and baryons, and discuss the prospects for identifying these states experimentally. This is an expanded version of an Invited Contribution to the…
We study the light meson - charmonium - glueball mixing using flavor-singlet meson operators built from optimal distillation profiles together with purely gluonic operators in different $J^{PC}$ channels at two different pion masses…
The non-Abelian nature of QCD suggests that particles that have a gluon constituent, such as glueballs or hybrids, should exist. Experiments WA76, WA91 and WA102 have performed a dedicated search for these states in central production using…
A review of recent analyses on semileptonic decays of B mesons into charmed final states is given. |Vcb| is extracted both by the Babar and the Belle collaboration from their datasets using inclusively and exclusively reconstructed final…
Recent results on physics in the charm energy region are reviewed. (1) The new data and puzzles in exclusive hadronic decays of $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ give new challenges to the theory of hadronic decays. (2) With the new observation for…
We suggest a rigorous generalization of the pseudoscalar mesons mixing description in SU(3) basis. It is shown that the appearance of extra massive state nicknamed in the paper as glueball is unavoidable in any scheme with more than one…
Hybrid b-bar-gb molecules in which the heavy b-bar-b pair is bound together by the excited gluon field g are studied using the Born-Oppenheimer expansion and numerical simulations. The consistency of results from the two approaches reveals…
The new recently experiments at the B-factories yield a renewed interest in the charm and charmonium spectroscopy. New intriguing states have been observed, which appear to be non-conventional mesons, such as X(3862) and Y(4260) and request…
