The interaction between various charmed mesons and charmed baryons are studied within the framework of the coupled channel unitary approach with the local hidden gauge formalism. Several meson-baryon dynamically generated narrow $N^*$ and $Lambda^*$ resonances with hidden charm are predicted with mass above 4 GeV and width smaller than 100 MeV. The predicted new resonances definitely cannot be accommodated by quark models with three constituent quarks and can be looked for at the forthcoming PANDA/FAIR experiments.
The interactions of $bar{D}Sigma_{c}$-$bar DLambda_c$, $bar{D}^{*}Sigma_{c}$-$bar D^*Lambda_c$, and related strangeness channels, are studied within the framework of the coupled channel unitary approach with the local hidden gauge formalism. A series
of meson-baryon dynamically generated relatively narrow $N^*$ and $Lambda^*$ resonances are predicted around 4.3 GeV in the hidden charm sector. We make estimates of production cross sections of these predicted resonances in $bar{p} p $ collisions for PANDA at the forthcoming FAIR facility.
We study the renormalization of the properties of low lying charm and hidden charm scalar mesons in a nuclear medium, concretely of the D_{s0}(2317) and the theoretical hidden charm state X(3700). We find that for the D_{s0}(2317), with negligible wi
dth at zero density, the width becomes about 100 MeV at normal nuclear matter density, while in the case of the X(3700) the width becomes as large as 200 MeV. We discuss the origin of this new width and trace it to reactions occurring in the nucleus, while offering a guideline for future experiments testing these changes. We also show how those medium modifications will bring valuable information on the nature of the scalar resonances and the mechanisms of the interaction of D mesons with nucleons and nuclei.
A model for the $bar K d to pi Y N$ reactions with $Y=Lambda, Sigma$ is developed, aiming at establishing the low-lying $Lambda$ and $Sigma$ hyperon resonances through analyzing the forthcoming data from the J-PARC E31 experiment. The off-shell ampli
tudes generated from the dynamical coupled-channels (DCC) model, which was developed in Kamano et al. [Phys. Rev. C 90, 065204 (2014)], are used as input to the calculations of the elementary $bar K N to bar K N$ and $bar K N to pi Y$ subprocesses in the $bar K d to pi Y N$ reactions. It is shown that the cross sections for the J-PARC E31 experiment with a rather high incoming-$bar{K}$ momentum, $|vec p_{bar K}|= 1$ GeV, can be predicted reliably only when the input $bar K N to bar K N$ amplitudes are generated from a $bar KN$ model, such as the DCC model used in this investigation, which describes the data of the $bar K N$ reactions at energies far beyond the $bar K N$ threshold. We find that the data of the threefold differential cross section $dsigma/(dM_{piSigma}dOmega_{p_n})$ for the $K^- d to pi Sigma n$ reaction below the $bar K N$ threshold can be used to test the predictions of the resonance poles associated with $Lambda(1405)$. We also find that the momentum dependence of the threefold differential cross sections for the $K^- d to pi^- Lambda p$ reaction can be used to examine the existence of a low-lying $J^P=1/2^+$ $Sigma$ resonance with a pole mass $M_R = 1457 -i39$ MeV, which was found from analyzing the $K^-p$ reaction data within the employed DCC model.
Observation of a narrow structure at $Wsim 1.68$ GeV in the excitation functions of some photon- and pion-induced reactions may signal a new narrow isospin-1/2 $N(1685)$ resonance. New data on the $gamma N to pi eta N$ reactions from GRAAL seems to r
eveal the signals of both $N^+(1685)$ and $N^0(1685)$ resonances.
