The decay of $\Lambda_c^+$ into $\pi^+\pi^0\Lambda(1405)$ with the $\Lambda(1405)$ decay into $\pi^0\Sigma^0$ through a triangle diagram is studied. This process is initiated by $ \Lambda_c^+ \to \pi^+ \bar{K}^*N $, then the $\bar{K}^*$…

Meson-baryon interactions are the fundamental building blocks to study the structures of baryon resonances and meson properties in few-body nuclear systems. We review the recent progress in the investigation of the meson-baryon interaction…

We study the four-body decays $J/\psi\to N {\bar N}$ {\it meson meson} using a chiral unitary approach to account for the meson meson final state interaction (FSI). The calculation of the $J/\psi\to N \bar N \pi^+ \pi^-$ process properly…
We investigate the structure of the Lambda(1405) resonance and Kbar N phenomenology in the perspective of chiral SU(3) dynamics. Utilizing the chiral coupled-channel approach which well describes the Kbar N scattering observable, we perform…
In this talk I show recent results on how many excited baryon resonances appear as systems of one meson and one baryon, or two mesons and one baryon, with the mesons being either pseudoscalar or vectors. Connection with experiment is made…
We report four $\Sigma$'s and three $\Lambda$'s, in the 1500 - 1800 MeV region, as two meson - one baryon S-wave $(1/2)^+$ resonances. We solve Faddeev equations in the coupled channel approach. The invariant mass of one of the meson-baryon…
We discuss the mechanisms that lead to $\Lambda(1405)$ production in the $\pi^-p\to K^0\pi\Sigma$ reaction. The problem has gained renewed interest after different works converge to the conclusion that there are two resonances around the…
The internal structure of the resonant Lambda(1405) state is investigated based on meson-baryon coupled-channels chiral dynamics, by evaluating density distributions obtained from the form factors of the Lambda(1405) state. The form factors…
The nature of the Lambda(1405), and its place in the baryon spectrum has remained uncertain for decades. Theoretical studies have shown that it may possess strong dynamical components which are not seen in other well-known baryons. Using…
We present results of a detailed study of the three-body $\bar{B}^0\to\Sigma_c(2455)^{0}\bar{p}\pi^{+}$ decay. A significant enhancement of signal events is observed in the $\bar{p}\pi^+$ mass system near $1.5 {\rm GeV}/c^2$ that is…
We investigate the two-body decay modes $\rho\rho, \pi\pi^{\ast}(1300)$ and $\sigma \sigma$ of the $f_0(1500)$, all leading to the $4\pi$ decay channel, in a three-state mixing scheme, where the $f_0(1500)$ is a mixture of the lowest-lying…
Nonleptonic weak decays of Xi_c into pi^+ and a meson (M)-baryon (B) final state, MB, are analyzed from the viewpoint of probing S=-2 baryon resonances, i.e. Xi(1620) and Xi(1690), of which spin-parity and other properties are not well…
The scattering length and effective range of the piSigma channel are studied in order to characterize the strangeness S=-1 meson-baryon scattering and the Lambda(1405) resonance. We examine various off-shell dependence of the amplitude in…

We examine the radiative decays of the Lambda (1405) to octet baryons, Lambda + gamma and Sigma + gamma. In the limit of SU(3) symmetry the decay rates for these two modes are related, and we compute the leading correction to the relation…
