In this paper we show that the intrinsic heavy-quark QCD mechanism for the hadroproduction of heavy hadrons at large $x_F$ can resolve the apparent conflict between measurements of double-charm baryons by the SELEX fixed-target experiment and the LHCb experiment at the LHC collider. We show that both experiments are compatible, and that both results can be correct. The observed spectroscopy of double-charm hadrons is in agreement with the predictions of supersymmetric light front holographic QCD.

We establish a holographic bottom-up model which covers both the baryonic and quark matter phases in cold and dense QCD. This is obtained by including the baryons using simple approximation schemes in the V-QCD model, which also includes the backreaction of the quark matter to the dynamics of pure Yang-Mills. We examine two approaches for homogeneous baryon matter: baryons as a thin layer of noninteracting matter in the holographic bulk, and baryons with a homogeneous bulk gauge field. We find that the second approach exhibits phenomenologically reasonable features. At zero temperature, the vacuum, baryon, and quark matter phases are separated by strongly first order transitions as the chemical potential varies. The equation of state in the baryonic phase is found to be stiff, i.e., the speed of sound clearly exceeds the value $c_s^2=1/3$ of conformal plasmas at high baryon densities.
We construct the D4/D8 brane configuration in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model by introducing a pair of heavy flavour brane with a heavy-light open string. The multiplets created by the heavy-light string acquire mass due to the finite separation of the heavy and light flavour branes thus they could be identified as the heavy-light meson fields in this model. On the other hand the glueball field is identified as the gravitational fluctuations carried by the close string in the bulk, so this model is able to describe the interaction of glueball and heavy-light meson through the open-close string interaction in gauge-gravity duality. We explicitly derive the effective action for the various glueballs and heavy-light mesons then numerically evaluate the associated coupling constants. Afterwards the decay widths of various glueballs to the lowest heavy-light meson, which is identified as $D^{0}$ meson, are calculated by using our effective action. This work extends the previous investigations of glueball in holographic QCD and it is also a further prediction of glueball-meson interaction.
Starting from the Hamiltonian equation of motion in QCD we find a single variable light-front equation for QCD which determines the eigenspectrum and the light-front wavefunctions of hadrons for general spin and orbital angular momentum. This light-front wave equation is equivalent to the equations of motion which describe the propagation of spin-$J$ modes on anti-de Sitter (AdS) space.
A remarkable feature of QCD is that the mass scale which controls color confinement and hadron mass scales does not appear explicitly in the QCD Lagrangian. However, de Alfaro, Fubini, and Furlan have shown that a mass scale can appear in the equations of motion without affecting the conformal invariance of the action if one adds a term to the Hamiltonian proportional to the dilatation operator or the special conformal operator. Applying the same procedure to the light-front Hamiltonian leads to a unique confinement potential $kappa^4 zeta^2$ for mesons, where $zeta$ is the LF radial variable conjugate to the invariant mass. The same result, including spin terms, is obtained using light-front holography, the duality between the front form and AdS$_5,$ if one modifies the action by the dilaton $e^{kappa^2 z^2}$ in the fifth dimension $z$. Generalizing this procedure using superconformal algebra, leads to a unified Regge spectroscopy of meson, baryon, and tetraquarks, including remarkable supersymmetric relations between the masses of mesons and baryons of the same parity. One also predicts observables such as hadron structure functions, transverse momentum distributions, and the distribution amplitudes defined from the hadronic light-front wavefunctions. The mass scale underlying confinement and hadron masses can be connected to the mass parameter in the QCD running coupling by matching the nonperturbative dynamics to the perturbative QCD regime. The result is an effective coupling defined at all momenta and the determination of a momentum scale which sets the interface between perturbative and nonperturbative hadron dynamics. I also discuss evidence that the antishadowing of nuclear structure functions is non-universal, and why shadowing and antishadowing phenomena may be incompatible with sum rules for nuclear parton distribution functions.
Light front wave functions motivated by holographic constructions are used to study Bloom-Gilman duality of deep inelastic scattering. Separate expressions for structure functions in terms of quark and hadronic degrees of freedom are presented, with a goal of relating the two expressions. A two-parton model is defined and resonance transition form factors are computed using previously derived light front wave functions. A new form of global duality is derived from the valence quark-number sum rule. Using a complete set of hadronic states is necessary for this new global duality to be achieved. Previous original work does not provide such a set. This is remedied by amending the model to include a longitudinal confining potential, and the resulting complete set is sufficient to carry out the study of Bloom-Gilman duality. Expressions for transition form factors are obtained and all are shown to fall asymptotically as 1/Q2. The Feynman mechanism dominates the asymptotic behavior of the model. These transition form factors are used to assess the validity of the global and local duality sum rules, with the result that both neither are satisfied. Evaluations of the hadronic expression for q(x,Q2) provide more details about this lack. This result shows that the observed validity of both global and local forms of duality for deep inelastic scattering must be related to a feature of QCD that is deeper than completeness. Our simple present model suggests a prediction that Bloom-Gilman duality would not be observed if deep inelastic scattering experiments were to be made on the pion. The underlying origin of the duality phenomenon in deep inelastic scattering is deeply buried within the confinement aspects of QCD, and remains a mystery.
