The strange quark plays a unique role in QCD, reflecting its intermediate mass between the light and heavy quarks. In recent years, remarkable progress has been made in the spectroscopy of baryons with strangeness. Many new features of the…
Recently, the 1/Nc expansion has been applied to the study of exotic baryons containing both quarks and antiquarks. We extend this approach to exotic states with mixed symmetric spin-flavor symmetry, which correspond in the quark model to…
In this work we study the possible QCD exotic states in the doubly charmed baryon sector. Within chiral effective theory, it is predicted that several excited baryons result from the $S$-wave scattering of ground-state doubly charmed…
The correlation between baryon number and strangeness elucidates the nature of strongly interacting matter, such as that formed transiently in high-energy nuclear collisions. This diagnostic can be extracted theoretically from lattice QCD…
The spectrum of strange multibaryons is considered within the chiral soliton model using one of several possible SU(3$ quantization models (the bound state rigid oscillator version). The states with energy below that of antikaon and…
Based on a previous study of deriving the chiral Lagrangian (CL) from QCD, we illustrate the main feature of QCD predictions for the CL coefficients (CLC) in certain approximations. We first show that, in the large-N(c) limit, the anomaly…
We present an extensive study of the static properties of light exotic and non-exotic baryons, based on the formulation of chiral quark-soliton model in terms of light-cone wave functions. We discuss in particular vector, axial and tensor…
Exotic hadron states beyond the conventional $qqq$ baryon and $q\bar{q}$ meson configurations are well expected from QCD. Having been successful in the past decades, the heavy quarkonium sector is proved to be an ideal place for the study…
Exotic multi-quark states are examined in the quark model and in QCD. Current status of theoretical studies of the pentaquark Theta^+ is reported. We show recent analyses of multi-quark components of baryons. A novel method to extract a…
An extended chiral SU(3) model is applied to the description of dense, hot and strange hadronic matter. The degrees of freedom are the baryon octet and decuplet and the spin-0 and spin-1 meson multiplets. The parameters of the model are…
Baryon-baryon bound states in the strangeness S=-2, S=-3, and S=-4 sectors are considered. In particular, the dependence of the corresponding binding energies on the quark mass (or equivalently the pion mass) is explored in the framework of…
Recent discoveries of manifestly exotic, narrow baryon resonances present a fundamental challenge for our theoretical understanding of low-energy QCD. This is a brief survey of their interpretation, emphasizing the possibility that diquark…
We discuss several highly accurate theoretical predictions for masses of baryons containing the b quark which have been recently confirmed by experimental data. Several predictions are given for additional properties of heavy baryons. We…
We follow a model based on the SU(8) symmetry for the interaction of mesons with baryons. The model treats on an equal footing the pseudo-scalars and the vector mesons, as required by heavy quark symmetry. The T-matrix calculated within an…
A narrow resonance peak was observed at 1.54 +/- 0.01 GeV as an exotic baryon with strangeness S = +1 in the gamma + n going to K^+ + K^- + n reaction on Carbon. The new state have a width smaller than 0.025 GeV and a Gaussian significance…
We present a phenomenological analysis of the strong couplings of the negative-parity L=1 baryons from the perspective of the large-$N_c$ expansion. In the large-$N_c$ limit the mass spectrum and mixing pattern of these states are…
The strange magnetic form factor of the nucleon is studied in the heavy baryon chiral effective approach at next to leading order. The one loop contributions from kaon and intermediate octet and decuplet hyperons are included, using…
We present some recent results from soliton model calculations for the spectrum of baryons with a single heavy quark.The model comprises chiral symmetry for light flavors and (approximate) heavy spin-flavor symmetry for the heavy quarks. We…
We show a novel charge structure of baryons in electromagnetic field due to the chiral anomaly. A key connection is to treat baryons as solitons of mesons. We use Skyrmions to calculate the charge distributions in a single nucleon and find…
The physics of exotic hadrons is revisited and reviewed, with emphasis on flavour configurations which have not yet been investigated. The constituent quark model of multiquark states is discussed in some detail, as it can serve as a guide…
