We study the optical absorption of arrays of quantum dots and antidots in a perpendicular homogeneous magnetic field. The electronic system is described quantum mechanically using a Hartree approximation for the mutual Coulomb interaction…
Most of the exotic hadrons discovered over the last 20 years fit into the quark model as normal mesons and baryons if the existence of a seventh flavor of quark is hypothesized. If the quark has a mass of $\sim$2.9 GeV, a charge of…

We calculate the decay widths of the charmonium states, $J/\psi$, $\psi (3686)$ and $\psi(3770)$, to $D\bar D$ pairs, as well as the decay width of $D^* \rightarrow D\pi$, in isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter, using a field…
The approach of path integral hadronization, applied to a quark-diquark toy model, is used to derive an effective chiral meson-baryon Lagrangian. In this approach the Goldberger-Treiman relation, found at the quark-meson level, is…
We investigate $J/\psi$ photoproduction off the nucleon using a dynamical model based on a Hamiltonian framework. First, Pomeron exchange is regarded as a background contribution that accounts for the gradual rise of the total cross section…
