Pion Correlations and Two-Particle Bound States

A method to investigate possible loosely bound dibaryon states is suggested. The momentum dependence of a two-pion correlation function is shown to depend on the (non)existence of a bound state.

Quarkonium Mass Splitting Revisited: Effects of Closed Mesonic Channels

Modifications of the mass spectrum the quarkonium induced by its virtual dissociation into a pair of heavy mesons is considered. Coupling between quark and mesonic channels results in noticeable corrections to spin-dependent mass splitting. In particular, the observable hierarchy of mass splittings in the $χ_c, χ_b$ and $χ'_b$ multiplets is reproduced.

On the width of molecular states

Width of molecular-type $Q\bar{Q}q\bar{q}$ hadronic states is discussed. It depends on the quantum numbers of the state and on the details of the long-range mechanism ensuring the bindedness of a molecule. Specific cases when the width is large are considered in detail.

Hadronic molecules: meson-baryon hybrids

The existence of hadronic molecular-type hybrids consisting of a baryon and a meson is argued. Long-range interactions due to one-pion exchange is shown to be strong enough to produce a loosely bound state. Specific features of a molecular hybrid are discussed.

${\bar p} p$ Annihilation: Manifestations of Instanton Induced Quark Pair Production ?

Production of strangeness in the low-energy ${\bar p} p$ annihilation is analyzed as a manifestation of the instanton induced multiquark vertex. Approach based on the {\it qualitative} properties of the 't Hooft mechanism provides a unified description of available experimental data on $K$- and $ϕ$-meson production. Crucial tests for the hypothesized mechanism are suggested.
