Hadronic molecules: meson-baryon hybrids
The existence of hadronic molecular-type hybrids consisting of a baryon and a
meson is argued. Long-range interactions due to one-pion exchange is shown to
be strong enough to produce a loosely bound state. Specific features of a
molecular hybrid are discussed.Comment: 7 pages in RevTeX plus 1 figure (available upon request
Estimating sigma-meson couplings from D \to 3\pi decays
Using recent experimental evidence from E791 on the sigma meson in D \to 3\pi
decays, we study the relevant couplings in D \to \sigma \pi and \sigma \to \pi\
pi within the accepted theoretical framework for non leptonic D decays. We also
review the linear sigma model, finding that it gives a description which is
consistent with the experimental data.Comment: 6 pages, no figures. Final version accepted for publication as a

On Deusons or Deuteronlike Meson-Meson Bound States
The systematics of deuteronlike two-meson bound states, {\it deusons}, is
discussed. Previous arguments that many of the present non- states are
such states are elaborated including, in particular, the tensor potential. For
pseudoscalar states the important observation is made that the centrifugal
barrier from the P-wave can be overcome by the and terms of the
tensor potential. In the heavy meson sector one-pion exchange alone is strong
enough to form at least deuteron-like and composites
bound by approximately 50 MeV, while and states are
expected near the threshold.Comment: Invited talk at the Hadron93 International Conf. on Hadron

Production and detection of doubly charmed tetraquarks
The feasibility of tetraquark detection is studied. For the cc\bar{u}\bar{d}
tetraquark we show that in present (SELEX, Tevatron, RHIC) and future
facilities (LHCb, ALICE) the production rate is promising and we propose some
detectable decay channels.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Baryons with Two Heavy Quarks as Solitons
Using the chiral soliton model and heavy quark symmetry we study baryons
containing two heavy quarks. If there exists a stable (under strong
interactions) meson consisting of two heavy quarks and two light ones, then we
find that there always exists a state of this meson bound to a chiral soliton
and to a chiral anti-soliton, corresponding to a two heavy quark baryon and a
baryon containing two heavy anti-quarks and five light quarks, or a
``heptaquark".Comment: 7 pages and 2 postscript figures appended, LaTex, UCI-TR 94-3
