Despite most of the known observed hadrons fit into the quark model picture formulated back in the 1960s', there exist several resonances whose properties suggest an exotic structure. In particular, the nature of f$_0$(980), f$_1$(1285), and f$_0$(1710) states is still debated, as these have been proposed as ordinary two-quark states, compact tetraquarks, hadronic molecules, hybrid states or...
Relativistic heavy ion collisions provide a unique opportunity for investigating nuclear matter’s characteristics under extreme conditions of high temperature and density. Resonance particles, such as K∗0 and φ, are considered good tools for probing the medium generated during these collisions. Specifically,K∗0, with a relatively short lifetime of approximately 4 fm/c, undergoes decay within...
We investigate the hidden strange $\phi$ meson production in heavy-ion collisions from subthreshold ($E_{kin}\sim 1$ A GeV) to relativistic ($E_{kin}\sim 21$ A TeV) energies as well as its coupling to the open strange mesons (kaons, antikaons) and their productions.
Our study is based on the off-shell microscopic Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach which is applicable for...
I will describe how to look for resonances at the LHCb experiment at CERN. Searches usually involve small signal yields, therefore careful and advanced techniques are required to reject the huge background coming from the hadronic collisions.
We present novel insights into the elusive $\rm{f}_{0}(980)$ hadron's quark composition and the interaction of heavy charm quarks with the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) through the anisotropic flow measurement of $\rm{D}^{0}$ in Heavy-Ion collisions. The $\rm{f}_{0}(980)$, whose precise configuration has remained controversial, is reconstructed for the first time via its dominant decay channel,...
