Signature of an $h_1$ state from $J/\psi \to \eta K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ and theoretical description of the $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$ as $D \bar D^*$ and $D^* \bar D^*$ molecular states

In this talk we address two topics: The first one is an empirical explanation in terms of a new state $h_1$ of the peak in the $K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ invariant mass distribution close to threshold of this channel in the $J/\psi \to \eta K^{*0}\bar{K}^{*0}$ decay. The second one is a theoretical description of the isospin $I=1$ $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$ states in terms of molecular states of $D \bar D^*+ cc$ and $D^* \bar D^*$.

Two- and Three-photon Fusion in Relativistic Heavy ion Collisions

The production of mesons in ultra-peripheral collisions of relativistic heavy ions is re-analyzed using a projection technique to calculate the amplitudes for the appropriate Feynman diagrams. The virtuality of the exchanged photons is fully accounted for in this approach. In the case of two-photon fusion, it is explicitly shown that the inclusion of nuclear form factors validates the equivalent photon approximation. However, this does not apply to three-photon fusion cross sections. The cross section of J/ψproduction in ultra-peripheral collisions at RHIC and LHC are shown to be much smaller than the cross sections for the production of C=even mesons of similar masses.

Hydrodynamic Evolution of Chirally Symmetric Nuclear Matter

The equation of state of the linear sigma model in the mean field approximation is used as input in a relativistic hydrodynamical numerical routine. Longitudinal and transverse energy distributions are calculated and compared with those obtained from the QHD-I equation of state.
