The hyperon-hyperon and hyperon-nucleon interactions are important in search for exotic hadrons such dibaryon as a bound state of two baryons. $\Lambda$-$\Lambda$ correlation has been measured in Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ =…
The yield for the multi-strange $\Xi^{-}$ hyperon has been measured in 6 AGeV Au+Au collisions via reconstruction of its decay products $\pi^{-}$ and $\Lambda$, the latter also being reconstructed from its daughter tracks of $\pi^{-}$ and…
The relativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions can produce hypernuclei and low-temperature hyper-matter as a result of hyperon capture by nuclear residues and free nucleons. We use the transport, coalescence and statistical models to describe…

The strong forces between nucleons ($N$=$p$, $n$) are fundamental to the visible universe. The interactions between hyperons (baryons with strange quarks) and nucleons are essential for the intrinsic properties of neutron stars. Whereas the…
We study the production of the stable six-quark $H$ dibaryon via the $(K^-,K^+)$ reaction on a $^{12}$C target within a covariant effective Lagrangian model. The calculations are performed within a factorization approximation, in which the…
Within the microscopic transport, systematic investigation of the many facets of hyperons and hypernuclei up to strangeness $S = -2$ are carried out for $^{197}$Au + $^{197}$Au and $^{40}$Ca + $^{40}$Ca at the incident energy of $3A$ GeV.…

Strong interaction level shifts and widths in $\Sigma^-$ atoms are analyzed by using a $\Sigma$ nucleus optical potential constructed within the relativistic mean field approach. The analysis leads to potentials with a repulsive real part…
Motivated by the interpretation of $X(3872)$ as a $D\bar{D}^{*}$ molecular state, heavy-quark spin symmetry predicts a spin-2 partner, $X_{2}(4013)$, which can be regarded as a $D^{*}\bar{D}^{*}$ molecule with quantum numbers $J^{PC} =…
