Octet-baryon masses in finite space
We report on a recent study of finite-volume effects on the lowest-lying
octet baryon masses using the covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory up to
next-to-leading order by analysing the latest lattice QCD results
from the NPLQCD Collaboration.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure; parallel talk delivered by XLR at the 14th

Weak decays of heavy hadrons into dynamically generated resonances
In this paper, we present a review of recent works on weak decay of heavy mesons and baryons with two mesons, or a meson and a baryon, interacting strongly in the final state. The aim is to learn about the interaction of hadrons and how some particular resonances are produced in the reactions. It is shown that these reactions have peculiar features and act as filters for some quantum numbers which allow to identify easily some resonances and learn about their nature. The combination of basic elements of the weak interaction with the framework of the chiral unitary approach allow for an interpretation of results of many reactions and add a novel information to different aspects of the hadron interaction and the properties of dynamically generated resonances Read More: http://www.worldscientific.com/doi/10.1142/S021830131630001
