In a recent paper --F.M. Marques et al, PRC 65 (2002) 044006-- a new approach to the production and detection of free neutron clusters was proposed and applied to data acquired for the breakup of 14Be. Six events that exhibited…

The strange dibaryons $p\Omega$ ($^5\rm{S}_2$) and $\Omega\Omega$ ($^1\rm{S}_0$) are likely bound, existing either in molecular states like the deuteron or as more exotic compact six-quark states. Here, we investigate the production of…

We analyze the possible existence of a strangeness $S=-3$, isospin $I=1$ pentaquark state $P_{sss}$ generated dynamically from the $\bar{K}\Xi$ interaction. We employ a unitarized scheme in coupled channels based on the chiral Lagrangian…

A search for narrow Theta(1540)^+, a candidate for pentaquark baryon with positive strangeness, has been performed in an exclusive proton-induced reaction p+C(N) \to Theta^+ \bar{K}^0 + C(N) on carbon nuclei or quasifree nucleons at…

We reconsider the relationship between the bound state and the SU(3) rigid rotator approaches to strangeness in the Skyrme model. For non-exotic S=-1 baryons the bound state approach matches for small m_K onto the rigid rotator approach,…

KNN three body resonance has been studied by KNN-pi Sigma N coupled channel Faddeev equation. The S-matrix pole has been investigated using the analytically continued scattering amplitude on the unphysical Riemann sheet. As a result we…

We study heavy baryons with an exotic flavor quantum number formed by a heavy meson and a nucleon (Dbar-N and B-N) through a long range one pion exchange interaction. The bound state found previously in the (I,JP) =(0,1/2-) channel survives…

Dibaryon candidates with strangeness S=-2,-3,-4,-5,-6 are studied in terms of the extended quark delocalization and color screening model. The results show that there are only a few promising low lying dibaryon states: The H and di-Omega…

Deeply bound KNN, KNNN and KNNNN states are discussed. The effective force exerted by the K meson on the nucleons is calculated with static nucleons. Next the binding energies are obtained by solving the Schrodinger equation or by…

We study the possible existence of nonstrange dibaryons and tribaryons by solving the bound-state problem of the two- and three-body systems composed of nucleons and deltas. The two-body systems are $NN$, $N\Delta$, and $\Delta\Delta$,…

We investigated the four-quark systems with quark structures of $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$, $cq\bar{c}\bar{s}$, $bs\bar{b}\bar{s}$, and $bq\bar{b}\bar{s}$ in the framework of the non-relativistic quark model, motivated by the recent observation of…

The observation of many unexpected states decaying into heavy quarkonia has challenged the usual QQbar interpretation. One of the most studied exotic states, the X(3872), happens to be copiously produced in high-energy hadron collisions. We…

We examine how the signature of the strange dibaryon resonances shows up in scattering amplitudes and observables of the three-body $\bar{K}NN$-$\pi Y N (Y=\Sigma, \Lambda)$ system on the physical real energy axis. The so-called point…

The stopping behaviour of baryons in massive heavy ion collisions (at SPS, RHIC and LHC) is investigated within different microscopic models. At SPS-energies the predictions range from full stopping to virtually total transparency.…

It is shown that an instanton induced interaction between quarks produces a very deeply bound H-dibaryon with mass below 2M_N, M_H=1718 MeV. Therefore the H-dibaryon is predicted to be a stable particle. The reaction of photodisintegration…

In this work, we investigate the kaon-induced production of strange hidden-charm pentaquark $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}$ states, including the $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}(4459)$ and $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}(4338)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration.…

The existence of pentaquarks with strangeness content zero and one are major discoveries of the latest years in hadron physics. Most of these states can be understood as hadronic molecules and were predicted prior to their discovery within…

During the last three years strong experimental evidence from $B$ and charm factories has been accumulating for the existence of exotic hadronic quarkonia, narrow resonances which cannot be made from a quark and an antiquark. Their masses…

We investigate the pentaquark($P$) exotic baryons as soliton-antiflavored heavy mesons bound states in the limit of infinitely heavy meson mass. Our approach respects the chiral symmetry as well as the heavy quark symmetry. The results…
