In this work, we study the strong decays of the newly observed $\Xi(1620)^0$ assuming that it is a meson-baryon molecular state of $\Lambda\bar{K}$ and $\Sigma\bar{K}$. We consider four possible spin-parity assignments $J^P=1/2^{\pm}$ and…
We study the |Delta I|=3/2 amplitudes of hyperon non-leptonic decays of the form B->B'+pi in the context of chiral perturbation theory. The lowest-order predictions are determined in terms of only one unknown parameter and are consistent…
We evaluate radiative decays of $\rho$ and $\omega$ going to two neutral mesons, $\pi^{0} \pi^{0}$ and $\pi^{0} \eta$. We use the sequential vector decay mechanisms in addition to chiral loops and $\rho$-$\omega$ mixing. The chiral loops…
The electromagnetic decay $\Sigma^0(1385) \to \Lambda \gamma$ was studied using the CLAS detector at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility. A real photon beam with a maximum energy of 3.8 GeV was incident on a proton target,…
Based on Belle data, the structure around 1435 MeV and the role of the $\Sigma(1380)$ resonance in the decay process $\Lambda_c \to \Lambda \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^+$ are investigated. The $\Lambda \pi^\pm$ invariant mass spectra are approximately…
The s-wave meson-baryon interaction in the $S = -1$, $S= 0$ and $S= -2$ sectors is studied by means of coupled channels, using the lowest-order chiral Lagrangian and the N/D method or equivalently the Bethe-Salpeter equation to implement…
A recently developed nonperturbative chiral approach to describe the S=-1 meson-baryon reactions has been extended to investigate the near threshold $K^- p \to \gamma \Lambda, \gamma \Sigma^0$ reactions. With the parameters governed by…
A $\Sigma^*$ state with spin-parity $J^P = 1/2^-$ with mass and width around $1380$ MeV and $120$ MeV, refereed to as the $\Sigma^*_{1/2^-}(1380)$, has been predicted in several pentaquark models and inferred from the analysis of CLAS…
Cross sections, beam asymmetries, and recoil polarisations for the reactions gamma p to K^+ Lambda ; gamma to K^+ Sigma^0, and gamma p to K^0 Sigma^+ have been measured by the SAPHIR, CLAS, and LEPS collaborations with high statistics and…
With accumulation of high statistics data at BESIII, one may study many new interesting channels. Among them, J/\psi \to B^*\bar B + \bar{B^*}B \to \gamma B\bar B processes may provide valuable information of the radiative decays of the…
A search for the nonresonant $\Lambda_c^+ \to p \mu^+ \mu^-$ decay is performed using proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.4…
Since the discovery of the $\Lambda(1405)$, it remains poorly described by conventional constituent quark models, and it is a candidate for having an "exotic" meson-baryon or "penta-quark" structure, similar to states recently reported in…
The semileptonic decays of Lambda_c and Lambda_b are treated in the framework of a constituent quark model. Both nonrelativistic and semirelativistic Hamiltonians are used to obtain the baryon wave functions from a fit to the spectra, and…
Combining heavy quark effective theory and the chiral Lagrangian approach we investigate radiative decays of pseudoscalar $D$ mesons. We first reanalyse $D^{*} \rightarrow D \gamma$ decays within the effective Lagrangian approach using…

Main theoretical approaches to weak radiative hyperon decays are briefly reviewed. It is emphasized that only approaches with great predictive power should be seriously considered when seeking a resolution of the puzzle presented by…
Weak radiative hyperon decays, important to test the strong interaction and relevant in searches for beyond the standard model physics, have remained puzzling both experimentally and theoretically for a long time. The recently updated…
We study the decay $\Lambda_c^+ \to \Lambda \pi^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$, focusing on the production of the $\Sigma^*(1430)$ resonance observed by the Belle Collaboration. Interpreted as a dynamically generated state from meson-baryon interactions in…
The decays $\chi_{cJ}\to\Sigma^{0}\bar{p}K^{+}+{\rm c.c.}~(J = 0, 1, 2)$ are studied via the radiative transition $\psi(3686)\to\gamma\chi_{cJ}$ based on a data sample of $(448.1 \pm 2.9)\times10^{6}$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected with the…
Among the light baryons, the $J^\pi = \frac{1}{2}^-$ $\Lambda(1405)$ hyperon is an important special case as it sits just below the $N\bar{K}$ threshold and decays almost exclusively to $\Sigma\pi$. Some long-standing hypotheses for…
