We study the reactions $\gamma d\to\pi\gamma NN$ with the aim to search for six-quark states, the decay of which into two nucleons is forbidden by the Pauli exclusion principle. These states with the masses $M<2m_N+m_{\pi}$ should mainly…

The recent discovery of a narrow resonance in the decay $J/\psi \to \gamma p \bar{p}$ is described as a zero baryon number, ``deuteron-like singlet ${}^1S_0 $'' state. The difference in binding energy of the deuteron (-2.225 MeV) and of the…

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…

The reaction p p $\to$ p ${\pi^+}X$ was studied at different incident energies around T$_{p}$=2 GeV. Narrow baryonic structures were observed in the missing mass M$_{X}$ and in the invariant mass M$_{p\pi^{+}}$. The masses of these…

We have systematically studied the strong and radiative decays of the low-lying $1P$-wave doubly charmed baryons. Some interesting observations are: (i) The states $\Xi_{cc}^*$ and $\Omega_{cc}^*$ with $J^P=3/2^+$ have a fairly large decay…

We study the reactions \gamma d --> \pi\gamma NN with the aim to search for six-quark states, the decay of which into two nucleons is forbidden by the Pauli exclusion principle. Such states predicted by a variety of QCD inspired models and…

We report on searches in deep inelastic $ep$ scattering for narrow baryonic states decaying into $\Xi^-\pi^-, \Xi^-\pi^+, \KS p$ and their charge conjugates, at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV. No signal for a new narrow baryonic…

Is it possible to detect a new weakly-coupled force at the QCD scale that interacts primarily with quarks? This work investigates experimental signatures of a new MeV - GeV gauge boson that couples to baryon number, with attention to the…

Evidence for a narrow baryon state is found in quasi-real photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel p K^0_S --> p pi^+ pi^-. A peak is observed in the p K^0_S invariant mass spectrum at 1528 +/- 2.6 (stat) +/-2.1…

The strong and radiative decays of the low-lying $S$- and $P$-wave $\Lambda_{c(b)}$, $\Sigma_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}'$ and $\Omega_{c(b)}$ baryons are systematically studied in a constituent quark model. We find that the…

In this work, we systematically study the mass spectra and strong decays of $1P$ and $2S$ charmed and charmed-strange baryons in the framework of nonrelativistic constituent quark models. With the light quark cluster-heavy quark picture,…

All the time since its discovery the N$^*$(1440) baryon state, commonly known as Roper resonance, has been a state with many question marks - despite of its 4-star ranking in the particle data book. One reason is that it does not produce…

Inspired by the observation of hidden-charm pentaquark $P_c$ and $P_{cs}$ states by the LHCb Collaboration, we explore the $qqc\bar{c}c$ ($q~=~u$ or $d$) pentaquark systems in the quark delocalization color screening model. The interaction…

The possibility for an observation of a narrow penta-quark $Z^+$ baryon in $NN$ reactions is discussed. It is shown that the $pp{\to}n\Sigma^+K^+$ reaction at excess energies around 100 MeV above threshold provides optimal conditions for…

In this study, by combining the equal spacing rule with recent observations of $\Omega_c(X)$ and $\Xi_c(X)$ baryons, we predict the spectrum of the low-lying $\lambda$-mode $1P$-wave excited $\Sigma_c$ states. Furthermore, their strong…

Evidence for a narrow baryon state at 1528 +- 2.6(stat) +- 2.1(syst) MeV is presented in quasi-real photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel p,K0 to p,pi+,pi-. The statistical significance of the peak in the p,K0…

In the metastable state sector the $\Lambda p$, $\Lambda\pi\pi$ and $\Lambda p \pi$ resonances found in n+$^{12}C$- collisions at 7 GeV/c. Preliminary results show that the predicted peaks has been confirmed in $p^{12}C$ collision at 10…

We present a study of the low-lying $\Xi_{c/b}$ and $\Xi'_{c/b}$ baryon states based on masses, strong and radiative decays. In a harmonic oscillator quark model analysis it is found that the majority of the detected states can be…
