Quantum Chromodynamics, the theory of quarks and gluons, whose interactions can be
described by a local SU (3) gauge symmetry with charges called “color quantum numbers” …

A large number of experimental discoveries especially in the heavy quarkonium sector that
did not meet the expectations of the until then very successful quark model led to a …

The spectrum of hadrons is the manifestation of color confinement of quantum
chromodynamics. Hadronic resonances correspond to poles of the S-matrix. Since 2003 …

In the past two decades, a plethora of hadronic states beyond the conventional quark model
of qq ̄ mesons and qqq baryons have been observed experimentally, which motivated …

We review the present status of the experimental and theoretical developments in the field of
strangeness in nuclei and neutron stars. We start by discussing the K ̄ N interaction, that is …

We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

A lattice QCD computation of the coupled channel π Σ–K¯ N scattering amplitudes in the Λ
(1405) region is detailed. Results are obtained using a single ensemble of gauge field …

Motivated by the Belle measurements of the process Λ c+→ η π+ Λ, we investigate this
process by considering the contributions from the Λ (1670), a 0 (980), and Σ (1385). In …

High energy heavy ion collisions are excellent ways for producing heavy hadrons and
composite particles, including the light (anti) nuclei. With upgraded detectors at the …

The study of the strength and behavior of the antikaon-nucleon (K¯ N) interaction constitutes
one of the key focuses of the strangeness sector in low-energy quantum chromodynamics …
