Recent investigations have suggested that the singlet six-quark combination $uuddss$ may be a deeply bound state $S$, called Sexaquark. An essentially stable state $S$ is a potentially excellent Dark Matter candidate. We present the first…
Recently LHCb reported the discovery of five extremely narrow excited $\Omega_c$ baryons decaying into $\Xi_c^+ K^-$. We interpret these baryons as bound states of a $c$-quark and a $P$-wave $ss$-diquark. For such a system there are exactly…
Our study focuses on the $\Lambda$-type P-wave bottom baryon states with the spin-parity $J^P=\frac{1}{2}^-$, $\frac{3}{2}^-$. We introduce an explicit P-wave between the two light quarks in the interpolating currents (and the two light…
Experimental evidence from coherent diffractive proton scattering has been reported for two narrow baryonic resonances which decay predominantly to strange particles. These states, with masses close to 2.0 GeV would, if confirmed, be…
We study the fine structure in the spectrum of known and predicted negative-parity hidden-charm exotic meson states, which comprise the lowest $P$-wave multiplet in the dynamical diquark model. Starting with a form previously shown to…
In the framework of the chiral quark model along with complex scaling range, we perform a dynamical study on the low-lying $S$-wave doubly-heavy tetraquark states ($QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}$, $Q=c, b$ and $q=u, d$) with an accurate computing…
The primary motivation of the GlueX experiment is to search for and ultimately study the pattern of gluonic excitations in the meson spectrum produced in $\gamma p$ collisions. Recent lattice QCD calculations predict a rich spectrum of…
Hidden-charm pentaquark states with double strangeness, $P_{css}$, have been predicted within the framework of unitary coupled-channel dynamics. In this work, we theoretically investigate the potential to observe these states in the decays…
We predict several new exotic doubly-heavy hadronic resonances, inferring from the observed exotic bottomonium-like and charmonium-like narrow states $X(3872)$, $Z_b(10610)$, $Z_b(10650)$, $Z_c(3900)$, and $Z_c(4020/4025)$. We interpret the…
In the framework of $RGM$, the binding energy of the six quark system with strangeness s=-5 is systematically investigated under the SU(3) chiral constituent quark model. The single $\Xi^*\Omega$ channel calculation with spins S=0 and 3 and…
We present an {\it exact} quantum theory for the bound states in the vicinity of an edge or a line of impurities in a $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconductor. For a (110)-surface we show that a finite dispersion of the one dimensional band of bound…
In the presence of an external magnetic field, the low lying elementary excitations of a d-wave superconductor have quantized energy and their momenta are locked near the node direction. It is argued that these discrete states can most…
Recent lattice QCD calculations have reported evidence for the existence of a bound state with strangeness -2 and baryon number 2 at quark masses somewhat higher than the physical values. By developing a description of the dependence of…
We perform a systematical investigation of the possible deuteron-like bound states with configuration $\Xi_{cc}N (\bar{N})$, where $N(\bar{N})$ denotes the nucleon (anti-nucleon), in the framework of the one-boson-exchange-potential model.…
Based on a sample of $(10087 \pm 44) \times 10^6$ $J/\psi$ events collected with the BESIII detector at BEPCII, we report the first observation of the decay $J/\psi \rightarrow K^- \Sigma^0 \bar{\Xi}^++c.c.$. A partial wave analysis is…
We study the weak decay of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon into $J/\psi\ \phi\ \Lambda$, a process that is particularly well suited to analyze the physics of some of the recently observed or theoretically predicted exotic hadrons, as one expects to…
Studying scattering of heavy flavor hadrons and looking for bound states is shown to give experimental information otherwise unobtainable about effective two-body interactions between constituent $(qq)_6$ and $(\bar qq)_8$ pairs…
We propose an idea for probing spin states of two coupled quantum dots (CQD), by the dc Josephson current flowing through them. This theory requires weak coupling between CQD and electrodes, but allows arbitrary inter-dot tunnel coupling,…
We predict exotic doubly heavy--strange pentaquarks with minimal quark content $u\bar d sQQ'$ ($QQ'=cc,bc,bb$) within a coupled-channel unitary framework where the interaction is derived from an extension of the local hidden gauge approach…
A new charm-strange meson, the $D_{s1}^*(2863)$, has recently been observed by the LHCb collaboration which also determined the $D_{sJ}^*(2860)$ to have spin 3. One of the speculations about the previously observed $D_{s1}^*(2710)$ is that…
