The dibaryon model for $NN$ interaction, which implies the formation of an intermediate six-quark bag dressed by a $\sigma$-field, is applied to the $3N$ system, where it results in a new three-body force of scalar nature between the…

We calculate the three-parton twist-3 contribution to the $B\to\pi$ transition form factors in the $k_T$ factorization theorem. Since different mesons are involved in the initial and final states, two(three)-parton-to-three(two)-parton…
Properties of six-quark dibaryons in nuclear medium are considered by example of $A=6$ nuclei within the three-cluster $\alpha+2N$ model. Dibaryon production in nuclei leads to the appearance of a three-body force between the dibaryon and…
