Chiral symmetry and its spontaneous breaking play an important role both in the light
hadron and heavy hadron systems. The chiral perturbation theory (χ PT) is the low energy …

Since the discovery of the first charmed meson in 1976, many open-charm and open-bottom
hadrons were observed. In 2003 two narrow charm-strange states $ D_ {s0}^{\ast}(2317) …

A quark model is applied to the spectrum of baryons containing heavy quarks. The model
gives masses for the known heavy baryons that are in agreement with experiment, but for …

Mass spectra of heavy baryons are calculated in the heavy-quark–light-diquark picture in the
framework of the QCD-motivated relativistic quark model. The dynamics of light quarks in the …

This 2004 book provides a pedagogical introduction to the perturbative and non-perturbative
aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The text introduces the basic theory of QCD …

We study decay properties of the P-wave charmed baryons using the method of light-cone
QCD sum rules, including the S-wave decays of the flavor 3¯ FP-wave charmed baryons into …

We study the P-wave charmed baryons using the method of QCD sum rule in the framework
of heavy quark effective theory. We consider systematically all possible baryon currents with …

The recent observation at CDF and D0 of Σ b, Σ b* and Ξ b baryons opens the door to the
advent of new states in the bottom baryon sector. The states measured provide sufficient …

We determine the ground state and first excited state masses of singly and doubly charmed
spin 1/2 and 3/2 baryons with positive and negative parity. Configurations with N f= 2+ 1 …

We derive QCD light-cone sum rules for the hadronic matrix elements of the heavy baryon
transitions to nucleon. In the correlation functions the Λ c, Σ c and Λ b-baryons are …
