Results from the ALICE experiment obtained in the second LHC run (Run-2) on charged-particle production will be presented. Charged hadrons emerging from high-energy collisions are dominated by mesons (mainly pions and kaons), being the baryon fraction (mainly protons and antiprotons) lower than about 5% of the total inclusive charged-hadron production. The pseudorapidity and transverse momentum di ... More

The intense, cw beams of polarized electrons with energies of up to 6 GeV from the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) at Jefferson Lab have provided a unique tool for the study of atomic nuclei and their constituents. One hundred and seventy three experiments were carried out using the original accelerator configuration between 1995, when operations began, and 2012, when the fa ... More

The start of LHC Run 2, with proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, opens a new regime in which QCD predictions for charm meson production may be precisely tested. LHCb is uniquely suited to make these measurements in the forward region and obtained results can be used to further constrain parton distribution functions. In addition to measuring absolute production cross-sections, ratios ... More

One of the remaining challenges within the standard model is to gain a good understanding of QCD in the non-perturbative regime. A key step towards this aim is baryon spectroscopy, investigating the spectrum and the properties of baryon resonances. To gain access to resonances with small $\pi N$ partial width, photoproduction experiments provide essential information. Partial wave analyses need to ... More

With the data taking at BESIII detector, we perform a search of exotics, including X, Y, and Z states. As a result, we observed X(1835) in $J/psi\rightarrow \gamma p\bar{p}$, observed X(3823) in $e^+e^-\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\chi_{c1}$. We confirmed X(3872) in $e^+e^-\rightarrow \gamma \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$. We observed a possible resonance Y(4220) in the line-shape of $e^+e^-\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^- ... More

Measurements of b-hadron and quarkonium production cross sections provide essential information to understand QCD. This talk will show new measurements of double-differential production cross sections vs. transverse momentum pT and rapidity y at center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV performed by CMS experiment with data collected in 2015. Comparisons with results obtained at 7 TeV will be shown.

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $(g-2)\mu$ is one of the most precisely studied observables of the Standard Model. However, there is a long standing discrepancy of three to four standard deviations between its value obtained from direct measurements and the Standard Model prediction. Since the deviation might hint at physics beyond the Standard Model, new experiments are planned to measu ... More

Since 2003, many new structures in the heavy quarkonium mass regions, dubbed XYZ, were observed in experiments. Some of them are close to thresholds of two open-flavor mesons, and were suggested to be candidates of hadronic molecules. I will discuss some of these XYZ states from the point of view of hadronic molecules.

The AMADEUS experiment deals with the investigation of the low-energy kaon-nuclei hadronic interaction at the DAΦNE collider at LNF-INFN, which is fundamental to solve longstanding questions in the non-perturbative strangeness QCD sector. AMADEUS step 0 consisted in the reanalysis of 2004/2005 KLOE data, exploiting $K^−$ absorptions in H, ${}^4$He, ${}^9$Be and ${}^{12}$C, leading to the first ... More

The $\bar{K}N$ interaction is known to be strongly attractive from low-energy scattering data [1] and X-ray spectroscopy of kaonic atoms [2]. It is widely accepted that the $\Lambda(1405)$ is $K^{−} p$ bound state / penta-quark or at least strongly couple to that state. The natural expectation of this assumption is that the kaonic nuclear bound state will be formed, and accordingly, such states ... More

A kaonic atom is a Coulomb-bound system formed by a kaon, electrons, and a nucleus. Effects of the strong interaction between the kaon and atomic nucleus are experimentally extracted from characteristic x-ray-emission spectra of the most tightly bound energy levels that are the most perturbed by the strong force. Especially on the light kaonic atom studies, there are significant progress in resent ... More

Light meson spectroscopy plays a crucial role in examining the QCD theory. The BESIII has collected the largest $J/\psi$ and $\psi^\prime$ sample in the world, therefore provides a good chance to study light mesons by studying $J/\psi$ and $\psi^\prime$ decays. In this talk, we will report recent results on light meson spectroscopy at BESIII.

X-ray spectroscopy of exotic atoms allows the determination of the mass of short-lived negatively charged unstable particle like muons, pions, or kaons from the energies of characteristic X-ray radiation. Pions are captured by the target atoms in a highly excited state and a de-excitation cascade takes place accompanied by Auger and radiative emission. Auger emission is dominant at the beginning ...

The goal of the COMPASS experiment at CERN is to study the structure and dynamics of hadrons. The two-stage spectrometer used by the experiment has good acceptance and covers a wide kinematic range for charged as well as neutral particles allowing to access a wide range of reactions. Light mesons are studied with negative (mostly $\pi^-$) and positive ($p$, $\pi^+$) hadron beams with a momentum of ... More

Glueballs, i.e. bound states of gluons, were predicted since the early days of Quantum Chromodynamics. They are expected to exist because gluons interact strongly with themselves (`gluons shine in their own light'). Indeed, within Lattice QCD a full spectrum of glueballs has been obtained. The lightest glueball is predicted to be a scalar state and has a mass about $1.7$ GeV: as a consequence, i ... More

Exotic hadronic states with other configurations have been searched for and many candidates were proposed including glueballs, hybrids, multi-quark states, and hadron molecules. Since a proton and a neutron can be bounded to form a deuteron, it is also believed that other states beyond the quark model must exist. Dramatic progress was made in the study of the exotic states after the discovery of ... More

I discuss the experimental evidence for and theoretical interpretation of the new mesons and baryons with two heavy quarks.

Ever since Weinberg's seminal predictions of the pion-nucleon scattering amplitudes at threshold, this process has been of central interest for the study of chiral dynamics involving nucleons. The scattering lengths or the pion-nucleon sigma-term are fundamental quantities characterizing the explicit breaking of chiral symmetry by means of the light quark masses. On the other hand, pion-nucleon dy ... More

Precision spectroscopy of deeply bound pionic atoms with relatively heavy nuclei is known to provide information on the partial restoration of the chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. We have conducted a series of experimental spectroscopy of pionic atoms with unprecedented precision by using ($d$,$^{3}$He) reactions on tin isotopes. Recent analysis results are reported in the presentation.

Thanks to its unique capabilities the LHCb experiment has been making important measurements related to exotic hadron candidates. Two $J/\psi p$ resonances consistent with pentaquark states were observed last year in $\Lambda_b$ decays to $J/\psi p K^-$. This measurement will be discussed together with more recent follow up work. New results on tetraquark candidates will also be presented.

Dark Photons are hypothetical extra-U(1) gauge bosons, which are motivated by a number of astrophysical anomalies as well as the presently seen deviation btw. the Standard Model prediction and the direct measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. We review recent searches for such a Dark Photon, which are carried out at various hadron physics facilities.

An electric dipole aligned along the spin axis of a fundamental particle, nucleus, or atomic system violates both parity conservation and time reversal invariance. The observation of such a phenomenon would, at present or proposed levels of experimental sensitivity, signal new physics beyond the Standard Model. The usual method for identifying an electric dipole moment (EDM) in such searches is ... More

The understanding of the QCD in the non perturbative regime, is one of the key issue to have a complete picture of the strong interactions. Recent findings of new and unexpected resonances, with unresolved properties, show that the hadron spectrum is not yet completely understood.

Theory, using Low Energy QCD, predicts with high precision the pion-pion and pion-kaon scattering lengths. There is accurate relation between $\pi^+\pi^-$ atom lifetime and a difference of S-wave pion-pion scattering lengths with isospin 0 ($a_0$) and 2 ($a_2$). Similar relation exists for $K^+\pi^-$ and $\pi^+K^-$ atoms lifetime and pion-kaon scattering lengths with isospin 1/2 ($a_{1/2}$) an ... More
