Fragmentation functions are typically parametrised exploiting measurements performed in $\mathrm{e^+e^-}$ and $\mathrm{ep}$ collisions, under the assumption of universality across collision systems. Measurements of charm-hadron yields in…

If the SM Higgs boson does not exist, electroweak symmetry breaking may be realized via a strong interaction with a typical scale Lambda > 1 TeV. Resonances from the strong sector may help to unitarize WW scattering, which becomes strong in…
We study odd-parity baryonic resonances with one heavy and three light flavors, dynamically generated by meson-baryon interactions. Special attention is paid to Heavy Quark Spin Symmetry (HQSS), hence pseudoscalar and vector mesons and…
Weak decays of charm mesons has been used for studies of light quark spectroscopy, with particular emphasis on the J^{PC}=0^{++} states. Recent results on light scalars are summarized and some conceptual issues are discussed, especially the…
We discuss a possible interpretation of the open charm mesons $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$ and the hidden charm mesons X(3872), Y(3940) and Y(4140) as hadron molecules. Using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach we review the strong…
The diquark is a strongly correlated quark pair that plays an important role in hadrons and hadronic matter. In order to treat the diquak as a building block of hadrons, we formulate an effective theory of diquark fields with $SU(3)_R…

We investigate mesons containing charm quarks on fine lattices with a^{-1} \sim 5 GeV. The quenched approximation is employed using the Wilson gauge action at \beta = 6.6 and nonperturbatively O(a) improved Wilson quarks. We present results…
We investigate the in-medium masses of open charm mesons ($D$($D^0$, $D^+$), $\bar{D}$($\bar{D^0}$, $D^-$), $D_s$(${D_{s}}^+$, ${D_{s}}^-$)) and charmonium states ($J/\psi$, $\psi(3686)$, $\psi(3770)$, $\chi_{c0}$, $\chi_{c2}$) in strongly…
We study charmed and strange baryon resonances that are generated dynamically within a unitary meson-baryon coupled-channel model which incorporates heavy-quark spin symmetry. This is accomplished by extending the SU(3) Weinberg-Tomozawa…
We construct an effective Lagrangian for the hadronic decays of a heavy excited $s$-wave-spin-one quarkonium into its ground state. We show that reasonable fits to the measured invariant mass spectra in the $J/\psi$ and $\Upsilon$ systems…
We calculate the absorbtion cross-sections of $B_{c}$ mesons by $\pi$ and $\rho$ mesons including anomalous processes using an effective hadronic Lagrangian. The enhancement of Bc production is expected due to QGP formation in heavy-ion…
We construct the most general chiral effective Lagrangian for baryon-baryon contact interactions in flavor SU(3) up to order q^2 using a covariant power counting. A subset of these contact terms contributes to the baryon-baryon potential in…
