Relativistic Thomas-Fermi description of collective modes in droplets of nuclear matter.
Isoscalar collective modes in a relativistic meson-nucleon system are investigated in the framework of the time-dependent Thomas-Fermi method. The energies of the collective modes are determined by solving consistently the dispersion relations and the boundary conditions. The energy weighted sum rule satisfied by the models considered allows the identification of the giant resonances. The percentage of the energy weighted sum rule exhausted by the collective modes is in agreement with experimental data, but the agreement with the energy of the modes depends on the model considered.

title: Width of exotics from QCD sum rules : Tetraquarks or molecules?
abstract: (4250) using QCD sum rules. Extending previous analyses regarding these states as diquark-antiquark states or molecules of D mesons, we introduce the Breit-Wigner function in the pole term.We ﬁnd that introducing the width increases the mass at small Borel window region. Using theoperator-product expansion up to dimension 8, we ﬁnd that the sum rules based on interpolatingcurrent with molecular components give a stable Borel curve from which both the masses andwidths of these resonances can be well obtained. Thus the QCD sum rule approach strongly favorsthe molecular description of these states.

title: Relativistic Vlasov approach to normal modes of nuclear matter.
abstract: A description of small amplitude oscillations around a stationary state in nuclear matter is formulated in the context of the relativistic Vlasov equation. We obtain a set of stationary linear modes of excitation satisfying orthogonality and completeness relations. For longitudinal modes it is explicitly shown that the system, which is made up of relativistic particles in interaction with an external scalar meson field, behaves like a system of fermions very weakly coupled to the scalar meson field, even if the coupling constant is large.

title: MESONIC EXCITATIONS IN THE LINEAR SIGMA MODEL
abstract: A semiclassical version of the linear sigma model is studied in a variational approach. Specifically we study the bosonic spectroscopy for both bound states and resonances. We give a quantitative description of the pion and its two observed resonances.

title: CHARM 2013: X(4260) as a Mixed Charmonium-Tetraquark State
abstract: Using the QCD sum rule approach we study the X(4260) state assuming that it can be described by a mixed charmonium-tetraquark current with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ quantum numbers. For the mixing angle around $\theta=(53.0 \pm 0.5)^0$, we obtain a value for the mass which is in good agreement with the experimental mass of the X(4260). For the decay width into the channel $X \to J/\psi \pi \pi$, we find the value $\Gamma_{X \to J/\psi\pi\pi}=(4.1 \pm 0.6)$ MeV, which is much smaller than the total experimental width $\Gamma = (108\pm 12)$ MeV. However, considering the experimental upper limits for the decay of the X(4260) into open charm, we conclude that we cannot rule out the possibility of describing this state as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state.

title: The J / psi D D* vertex
abstract: We employ QCD sum rules to calculate the J/yDD* form factors and coupling constant by studying the threepoint J/yD*D correlation function. We find that the momentum dependence of the form factor depends on the off-shell meson. We get a value for the coupling which is in agreement with estimates based on constituent quark model.

title: Comparison of low-PT photon production in high- and low-multiplicity collisions at the CERN ISR.
abstract: Low-transverse-momentum photon production at the CERN ISR is compared in high- and low-multiplicity events. High-transverse-energy pp collisions and low-multiplicity ..cap alpha cap alpha.. and pp collisions are studied. Relative photon-to-charged-track production is found to be the same in pp minimum bias, ..cap alpha cap alpha.. minimum bias, and pp high-transverse-energy collisions, to within 15%. No low-P/sub T/ excess is seen; the limits are dominated by systematic uncertainties.
