The strong decay amplitudes and radiative partial widths of orbital and radially excited states of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons are presented. These results are obtained with a nonrelativistic potential quark model, the nonrelativistic reduction of…
A new analysis of hyperon semi-leptonic decay data is presented, based on simple and general arguments for an SU(3)-breaking structure of the couplings involved. The results obtained are compatible with those of earlier investigations and…
We consider weak decays of heavy hadrons (bottom and charmed) where the heavy quark acts as a spectator. Theses decays are heavily phase-space suppressed but may become experimentally accessible in the near future. These decays are…
It is shown that hyperon beta decay data can be well accommodated within the framework of Cabbibo's SU(3) symmetric description if one allows for a small SU(3) symmetry breaking proportional to the mass difference between strange and…
We consider decays of the lowest-lying radially excited baryons. Assuming a single-quark decay approximation, and negligible configuration mixing, we make model-independent predictions for the partial decay widths to final states with a…
In this talk I review the history of models of strong decays, from the original model through applications to charmonium, light and charmed mesons, glueballs and hybrids. Our current rather limited understanding of the QCD mechanism of…
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…
We discuss progress in understanding the light and heavy quark excited hadron spectrum from Coulomb gauge QCD. For light quark systems we highlight the insensitivity to spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, which predicts Wigner…
It is pointed out that the previously suggested interpretation of the hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ as molecular bound states of $\Sigma_c \bar D$ and $\Sigma_c \bar D^*$ baryon-meson pairs gives rise to…
Using an SU(3)-flavour symmetry breaking expansion between the strange and light quark masses, we determine how this constrains the extrapolation of baryon octet matrix elements and form factors. In particular we can construct certain…
Using the known experimental data for the hyperon semileptonic decay constants, we calculate integrated quark densities $\Delta q_\Lambda$ and $% \Delta \Sigma_\Lambda$ for the hyperon $\Lambda$ with flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking taken…
The short range parts of the strong and weak hyperon-nucleon interactions are studied with quark substructure of the baryons taken into account. A summary of the quark cluster model calculations of the baryon-baryon interactions is…
We report properties of $\Lambda$ and $\Sigma$ hyperon resonances formed in $K^-$ induced reactions. Special emphasis is laid on the analysis of the three-body final states $2\pi^0\Lambda$ and $2\pi^0\Sigma$ and of the quasi-two-body final…
This thesis considers the decays of fully light four quark exotic as the main subject. In the context, we study the possible decays from general symmetric analysis: $uu\bar d\bar s$, $dd\bar s\bar u$, $ds\bar u \bar u$, and $su\bar d \bar…
The exotic state $X(5568)$ which was observed by D0 Collaboration is very likely to be a tetraquark state with four different valence quark flavors, though the existence was not confirmed by other collaborations. The possibility of such…
The quantum loop suppressed electroweak processes appear to be very sensitive probes for the symmetry-breaking mechanisms. Since the Standard Model does not involve massive neutrinos, baryon or lepton number violations and the cold dark…
We analyze electronically excited nuclear wave functions and their coherence when subjecting a molecule to the action of natural, pulsed incoherent solar-like light, and to that of ultrashort coherent light assumed to have the same center…
We study charmed baryon resonances which are generated dynamically within a unitary meson-baryon coupled channel model that treats the heavy pseudoscalar and vector mesons on equal footing as required by heavy-quark symmetry. It is an…
The classical quenched quark models with three constituent quarks provide a good description for the baryon spatial ground states, but fail to reproduce the spectrum of baryon excited states. More and more evidences suggest that unquenched…
Lattice QCD simulations are now reaching a precision where electromagnetic corrections from QED become important. In investigating the effects of SU(3) breaking due to quark mass differences within QCD, a group-theoretical analysis of the…
