We have studied the rare weak radiative hyperon decay Cascade0-->Sigma0/gamma in the KTeV experiment at Fermilab. We have identified 4045 signal events over a background of 804 events. The dominant Cascade0-->Lambda/pi0 decay, which was…

We study interactions between the S-wave octet pseudo-scalar (PS) meson and octet baryon in the flavor SU(3) limit using the HAL QCD method at the PS meson mass $m_M\approx 670~\textrm{MeV}$. We focus on the singlet and two octet channels,…

It is shown that, in the bound state picture, the $\Lambda_c(2593) \to\Lambda_c\gamma$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)\to\Lambda_c\gamma$ decays are severely suppressed. On the other hand, for their bottom counterparts, which are predicted to have…

We report on a search for the radiative decay U(1S) -> gamma + eta' in 61.3 pb^-1 of data taken with the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring. Three decay chains were investigated, all involving eta' -> pi+ pi- + eta,…

We investigate the rare radiative eta decay modes $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma\gamma$ and $\eta\to\pi^0\pi^0\gamma\gamma$ within the framework of chiral perturbation theory at $O(p^4)$. We present photon spectra and partial decay rates for both…

Electromagnetic mean squared radii of Lambda(1405) are evaluated in chiral unitary approach. In this approach we regard Lambda(1405) as dynamically generated resonances in the octet meson and octet baryon scattering, and also as KbarN bound…

We study the radiative decays of the decuplet $(3/2 \to 1/2 \gamma)$ using Heavy Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory (HBChPT). We emphasize the problems faced by the interacting spin 3/2 field theory. We argue that, to lowest order in the…

We study $S$-wave interactions of the baryon decuplet with the octet of pseudoscalar mesons using the lowest order chiral Lagrangian. We find two bound states in the SU(3) limit corresponding to the octet and decuplet representations. These…

The $\Lambda(1405)$ has been one of the most controversial exotic baryons. If the $\Lambda(1405)$ possesses a two-pole molecular structure, these poles are expected to evolve differently towards the SU(3) limit. From an analysis of a recent…
