Excited mesons, baryons, glueballs and tetraquarks: predictions of the Holography Inspired Stringy Hadron model

Abstract

In this note we collect and summarize the predictions of the Holography Inspired Stringy Hadron (HISH) model. Following a brief review of the model, we list the masses and widths of predicted excited states across the spectrum, based on placing the different hadrons on the non-linear Regge trajectories of a string with massive endpoints. Our predicted states include: (i) Light, heavy–light and heavy–heavy mesons. (ii) Baryons, including charmed, doubly charmed and bottom baryons. (iii) Glueballs, together with a method to disentangle them from flavorless mesons. (iv) Genuine tetraquarks, which are not “molecules” of hadrons, and are characterized by their decay into a baryon and an anti-baryon.
