In this contribution, we briefly analyze the formalism of the unquenched quark model (UQM) and its application to the description of several observables of hadrons. In the UQM, the effects of $q \bar q$ sea pairs are introduced explicitly…
A study of some decomposition schemes of the molecular energy into one- and two-center contributions published in the above mentioned journal highlights the importance of a 'dilemma' raised in such decompositions. Even more, it has been…
Single-particle energies of the $\Lambda_c$ chamed baryon are obtained in several nuclei from the relevant self-energy constructed within the framework of a perturbative many-body approach. Results are presented for a charmed baryon-nucleon…

In this contribution, we briefly discuss the results for charmonium and bottomonium spectra with self-energy corrections in the unquenched quark model, due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. The UQM formalism can be extended to…
Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory combined with the $1/N_c$ expansion is implemented for three flavors. Baryon masses, vector charges and axial vector couplings are studied to one-loop and organized according to the $\xi$-expansion, in…
Recent results involving hadronic decays of charmed mesons and baryons are reviewed. Information relevant to decay mechanisms and to light quark scalar mesons is discussed.
Using the recombination model (RM) extended to the heavy flavor scenario, we investigate the production of charmed mesons, i.e., $D^0$, $D_s^+$ and $J/\psi$, in Pb+Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=2.76$ and 5.02 TeV at the CERN Large Hadron…
We study the $P$-wave single charmed baryons of the $SU(3)$ flavor $\bf\bar3_F$ within the framework of heavy quark effective theory. We systematically calculate their strong and radiative decay properties using the light-cone sum rule…
The Coulomb effect, an essential ingredient in nuclear systems, is quantitatively investigated for certain Skyrmions within the Skyrme model. To do this we calculate the Coulomb energy from numerically generated multi-Skyrmions and,…
It is shown that a perturbative QCD (pQCD) based analysis and the SU(6) quark-diquark model give significant different predictions concerning the flavor and spin structure for the quark distributions of the $\Lambda$-baryon near $x=1$.…
We propose a modification of the mechanism of charmed quarks fragmentation into $D$ mesons in hadronic collisions. It is shown that the distinction in valence quark distributions in the initial $\pi^{\pm}$ and $K^{\pm}$ mesons leads to…
We review the experimental and theoretical status of baryons containing one heavy quark. The charm and bottom baryon states are classified and their mass spectra are listed. The appropriate theoretical framework for the description of heavy…
