    Structure of the Ξb< Resonance
    (Amer Physical Soc, 2018) Aliev, T. M.; Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    We explore the recently observed Xi(b)(6227)(-) resonance to fix its quantum numbers. To this end, we consider various possible scenarios: It can be considered as either a 1P or 2S excitation of the Xi(b) and Xi'(b)(5935) ground-state baryons with spin-1/2 or the 1P or 2S excitation of the ground-state Xi(b)(5955) with spin-3/2. We calculate the masses of the possible angular-orbital 1P and 2S excited states corresponding to each channel employing the QCD sum rule technique. It is seen that all the obtained masses are in agreement with the experimentally observed value, implying that the mass calculations are not enough to determine the quantum numbers of the state under question. Therefore, we extend the analysis to investigate the possible decays of the excited states into Lambda K-b(0)- and Xi(-)(b) pi. Using the light cone QCD sum rule method, we calculate the corresponding strong coupling constants, which are used to extract the decay widths of the modes under consideration. Our results on decay widths indicate that the Xi(b)(6227)(-) is a 1P angular-orbital excited state of the Xi(b)(5955) baryon with quantum numbers J(P) = 3/2(-).

    Investigation of a Candidate Spin-1/2 Hidden-Charm Triple Strange Pentaquark State pcsss<
    (Amer Physical Soc, 2023) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    A candidate triple strange pentaquark state, P-csss, is investigated through its strong decay channel P-csss -> C2-J=y/. To calculate the relevant strong coupling constants, two possible interpolating currents with spin-parity JP 1/4 1 - are used. Though the chosen currents for the state under consideration have spin-parity quantum numbers JP 1/4 1 -, they couple to both the positive and negative parity states simultaneously and the corresponding decay widths are obtained for both parities. These widths are obtained as foP(csss) -> J=y/C2- +/_ 1/4 201.4 82.5 MeV for the negative and fo P similar to csss -> J=y/C2- +/_ 1/4 316.4 107.8 MeV for the positive parity state when the first current is used. For the second current, we obtain foP(csss) -> J=y/C2- +/_ 1/4 252.5 116.7 MeV for the negative and fo P similar to csss -> J=y/C2- +/_ 1/4 361.1 ; 98.4 MeV for the positive parity state. These results may provide insights into future experimental observations of such candidate states and help to distinguish and fix their properties.

    Nature of the Ω (2012) Through Its Strong Decays
    (Springer, 2018) Aliev, T. M.; Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    We extend our previous analysis on the mass of the recently discovered Omega (2012) state by investigation of its strong decays and calculation of its width employing the method of light cone QCD sum rule. Considering two possibilities for the quantum numbers of Omega (2012) state, namely 1P orbital excitation with J(P) = 3/2(-) and 2S radial excitation with J(P) = 3/2(+), we obtain the strong coupling constants defining the Omega (1P/2S) -> Xi K decays. The results of the coupling constants are then used to calculate the decay width corresponding to each possibility. Comparison of the obtained results on the total widths in this work with the experimental value and taking into account the results of our previous mass prediction on the Omega (2012) state, we conclude that this state is 1P orbital excitation of the ground state Omega baryon, whose quantum numbers are J(P) = 3/2(-).

    Investigation of Λ (1405)as a molecular pentaquark state
    (Springer, 2024) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    Lambda ( 1405 ) is one of the interesting particles with its unclear structure and distinct properties. It has a light mass compared to its non-strange counterpart, despite the strange quark it carries. This situation puts the investigation of this resonance among the hot topics in hadron physics and collects attention to clarify its properties. In this study, we focus on the calculation of the mass and residue of the Lambda ( 1405 ) resonance within the framework of QCD sum rules. We assign a structure in the form of a molecular pentaquark composed from admixture of K - meson-neutron. Using an interpolating current in this form, the masses and the current coupling constant are attained as m = 1406 +/- 128 MeV and lambda = ( 3.35 +/- 0.35 ) x 10( - 5) GeV 6 for q and m = 1402 +/- 141 MeV and lambda = ( 4.08 +/- 1.08 ) x 10( - 5) GeV 6 for I Lorentz structures entering the calculations, respectively. The obtained mass values agree well with the experimental data supporting the plausibility of the considered structure.

    Lepton Flavor Universality Violation in Semileptonic Tree Level Weak Transitions
    (Amer Physical Soc, 2019) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    The recent deviations of the experimental data on some parameters of the tree-level semileptonic B and B-c mesons decays from the standard model (SM) predictions indicate considerable violations of the lepton flavor universality, and as a result possible new physics (NP) effects. To better understand the possible NP effects it is necessary to study deeply the physical quantities defining these decays from many aspects. The calculations of the physical quantities require the determinations of the hadronic form factors entering the matrix elements of the considered transitions as the main inputs. We calculate the form factors governing the tree-level B-c -> J/psi l nu and B-c -> eta(c)l nu transitions within the QCD sum rules method. The obtained form factors are used in the calculations of the branching ratios (BRs) of the B-c -> J/psi l nu and B-c -> eta(c)l nu transitions as well as R(J/psi) and R(eta(c)). Our result on R(J/psi) supports the present tension between the SM theory prediction and the experimental data. Our result on R(eta(c)) can be checked in future experiments.

    Strong ΛbNB and ΛcND vertices
    (Amer Physical Soc, 2014) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    We investigate the strong vertices among the Lambda(b), nucleon, and B meson as well as the Lambda(c), nucleon, and D meson in QCD. In particular, we calculate the strong coupling constants g Lambda bNB and g Lambda cND for different Dirac structures entering the calculations. In the case of the Lambda cND vertex, we compare the result with the only existing prediction obtained at Q(2) = 0.

    Interpretation of the Λc< Baryon Newly Seen by Belle Collaboration and Its Possible Bottom Partner
    (Springer, 2022) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    The developments in the experimental facilities and analyses techniques have recently lead to the observation of many hadronic states ranging from excitations of conventional hadrons to various exotic states. The baryons with single heavy quark are among these states providing an attractive field of research to get a better understanding of the nonperturbative nature of the strong interaction. Recently, the Belle Collaboration announced observation of the state Lambda(c)(2910)(+) with a mass 2913.8 +/- 5.6 +/- 3.8 MeV/c(2) and width 51.8 +/- 20.0 +/- 18.8 MeV. In the present study, by the mass analyses of different excitations at A c channel and their comparison with existing experimental information, we find that the spin-parity of this newly found excited state is J(P) = 1/2(-) and it is a 2 P state denoting by Lambda(c)(1/2(-), 2 P). We predict its current coupling as well, which can be served as one of the main input parameters to investigate different decays and interactions of this particle. We also determine the mass and current coupling of Lambda(b)(1/2(-), 2 P) as possible bottom counterpart of the new Lambda(c)(2910)(+) state, which may be in agenda of different experiments in near future.

    New Λb< State as a 2s Bottom Baryon
    (Amer Physical Soc, 2020) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    As a result of continuous developments, the recent experimental searches lead to the observations of new particles at different hadronic channels. Among these hadrons are the excited states of the heavy baryons containing single bottom or charmed quark in their valance quark content. The recently observed Lambda(b)(6072)(0) state is one of these baryons and possibly 2S radial excitation of the Lambda(b) state. Considering this information from the experiment, we conduct a QCD sum rule analysis on this state and calculate its mass and current coupling constant considering it as a 2S radially excited Lambda(b) resonance. For completeness, in the analyses, we also compute the mass and current coupling constant for the ground state Lambda(0)(b) and its first orbital excitation. We also consider the Lambda(+)(c) counterpart of each state and attain their mass, as well. The obtained results are consistent with the experimental data as well as existing theoretical predictions.

    Analysis of the strong D2* (2460)0D+ π- and Ds2*(2573)+D+ K0 transitions via QCD sum rules
    (Springer, 2014) Azizi, K.; Sarac, Y.; Sundu, H.
    The strong D-2* (2460)(0) -> D+ pi(-) and D-s2* (2573)(+) -> D+ K-0 transitions are analyzed via three-point QCD sum rules. First we calculate the corresponding strong coupling constants g(D2)*D pi and g(Ds2)*DK. Then we use them to calculate the corresponding decay widths and branching ratios. Making use of the existing experimental data on the ratio of the decay width in the pseudoscalar D channel to that of the vector D* channel, finally, we estimate the decay width and branching ratio of the strong D-2(*) (2460)(0) -> D*(2010)(+)pi(-) transition.
