If the exotic baryon $\Theta^+(1540)$ is a correlated $udud\bar{s}$ with $J^P = {1/2}^+$, then there should exist an exotic meson, $J^P = 1^-$ $\vartheta^+ (S=+2)$ $\to K^+K^0$ $\sim 1.6$GeV with width $O(10-100)$MeV. The $\pi_1(1400;1600)$…

The $5g-4f$ transitions in pionic nitrogen and muonic oxygen were measured simultaneously by using a gaseous nitrogen-oxygen mixture at 1.4\,bar. Due to the precise knowledge of the muon mass the muonic line provides the energy calibration…

The study of the $\pi N\to \rho^0 N$ and $\pi N \to \omega N$ amplitudes below and close to the vector meson production threshold ($1.4<\sqrt s <1.8$ GeV)reveals a rich structure arising from the presence of baryon resonances in this energy…

The experimental data from 2m propane bubble chamber have been analyzed to search for scalar meson $\kappa(800)$ in a $K^0_s\pi$ decay mode for the reaction p+$C_3H_8$ at 10 GeV/c. The $K^0_s\pi^-$ invariant mass spectrum has shown resonant…

We discuss the relatively low mass and narrow width prediction for the exotic baryon Theta+, and comment on recent statements by R.L. Jaffe on the subject. We reaffirm that a narrow width of 3.6-11.2 MeV follows from the equations of our…

We report the observation of a narrow state decaying into $J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ and produced in $220 pb^{-1}$ of $\bar{p} p $ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV$ in the CDF II experiment. We observe $ 730 \pm 90 $ decays. The mass is measured to…

Fitting the recent $e^+e^-\ra\phi\,\eta$ data by the Belle collaboration with a theoretical formula reveals, besides the dominant $\phi(1680)$ resonance, two narrow resonances: expected $\phi(2170)$ resonance and an unexpected resonance…

Is it possible to detect a new weakly-coupled force at the QCD scale that interacts primarily with quarks? This work investigates experimental signatures of a new MeV - GeV gauge boson that couples to baryon number, with attention to the…

We calculate the magnetic moments of low lying heavy flavor bottom baryons using effective quark mass and shielded quark charge scheme. We obtain the magnetic moments of both $J^P = 1/2^+$ and $J^P = 3/2^+$ baryon states. We compare our…

We report the results of a search for the rare baryonic decays $B^0 \to p\bar{p}$, $\Lambda\bar{\Lambda}$, and $B^+ \to p\bar{\Lambda}$. The analysis is based on a data set of $31.7\times 10^6 B\bar{B}$ events collected by the Belle…

Bottom baryons decaying to a J/\psi\ meson and a hyperon are reconstructed using 1.0 fb^{-1} of data collected in 2011 with the LHCb detector. Significant \Lambda_b^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \Lambda, \Xi_b^-\rightarrow J/\psi \Xi^- and…

Several recent experiments have reported evidence for a narrow baryon resonance with positive strangeness ($\Theta^+$) at a mass of 1.54 GeV/$c^2$. Baryons with $S=+1$ cannot be conventional $qqq$ states and the reports have thus generated…

We investigate the mass spectra of exotic hadrons known as pentaquarks. We extend a simple phenomenological model based on the G\"ursey-Radicati mass formula for hadrons to include both charmed and bottom baryons as well as to be able to…
