We adopt a novel formalism for the low-energy analysis of the $\gamma p \to K^{+}\pi\Sigma$ photoproduction reaction to calculate the $\pi\Sigma$ invariant mass distributions in the $\Lambda(1405)$ resonance region. The approach adheres to…
The recent discovery of a narrow resonance in D_s+pi^0 by the BABAR collaboration is consistent with the interpretation of a heavy J^P(0+,1+) spin multiplet. This system is the parity partner of the groundstate (0-,1-) multiplet, which we…

$\bar{K}$-nucleon interactions are investigated in the framework of coupled-channels dynamics based on the next-to-leading order chiral SU(3) meson-baryon effective Lagrangian. A recent determination of the 1s shift and width of kaonic…
The recent discovery of a narrow resonance in the decay $J/\psi \to \gamma p \bar{p}$ is described as a zero baryon number, ``deuteron-like singlet ${}^1S_0 $'' state. The difference in binding energy of the deuteron (-2.225 MeV) and of the…
We have recently studied coupled channel interactions of vector and pseudoscalar mesons with octet baryons having total strangeness null and spin-parity $1/2^-$. We, thus, considered $\pi N$, $\eta N$, $K \Lambda$, $K \Sigma$, $\rho N$,…
The exotic baryon $\Theta^+$ (1540 MeV)$ is visualised as an expected (iso) rotational excitation in the Chiral Soliton Model. It is also argued as a Pentaquark baryon state in a constituent quark model with strong diquark correlations. I…
We report on recent nonperturbative techniques that combine the information of chiral Lagrangians (with and without resonances) with unitarity in coupled channels and other requirements of the S-matrix theory of the strong interactions. As…
We present a chiral-invariant meson-baryon Lagrangian which describes the interactions of the baryon octet with the lowest-mass meson nonets. The nonlinear realization of the chiral symmetry generates pair-meson interaction vertices. The…
We investigate the $\Xi^*$ resonances within the molecular picture, where these states are dynamically generated as poles in the unitarized scattering amplitudes arising from the coupled-channel interactions of $K^{*-} \Lambda$, $K^{*-}…
We employed the chiral unitarity approach to investigate the decay process $\Xi_c^+ \to \Sigma^+K^+K^-$, by considering that the low lying nucleon resonance $\Xi(1/2^-)$ and the low lying scalar meson $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ that could be…
In the light of SU(3) flavor symmetry, the effective interaction Hamiltonian in tensor form is obtained by virtue of group representation theory. The strong and electromagnetic breaking effects are treated as a spurion octet so that the…
We study meson resonances with quantum numbers J^P=1^+ in terms of the chiral SU(3) Lagrangian. At leading order a parameter-free prediction is obtained for the scattering of Goldstone bosons off vector mesons with J^P=1^- once we insist on…
A study of the meson-baryon interaction in the $S=-1$ sector is performed, employing a chiral SU(3) lagrangian up to next-to-leading order (NLO) and implementing unitarization in coupled channels. The model is constrained by a large set of…
In the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark model, the $S-$wave baryon-baryon bound states are investigated. It is found that according to the symmetry character of the system and the contributions from chiral fields, there are three types…
