We present an exact calculation of $S$ and $P$ wave $QQ\bar n\bar n$ states using different standard nonrelativistic quark--quark potentials. We explore in detail the charm and bottom sectors looking for bound states that could be measured…
Bound q\bar q -systems are considered in the framework of three different versions of the 3-dimensional reduction of the Bethe-Salpeter equation, all having the correct one-body limit when one of the constituent quark masses tends to…
A calculation of the interaction potential of two heavy-light mesons in lattice QCD is used to study the existence of tetraquark bound states. The interaction potential of the tetraquark system is calculated on the lattice with 2+1 flavours…
We study the internal structure of a range of four-quark states with charm quark contributions using a two-body Bethe-Salpeter equation. Thereby, we examine charmonium-like states with hidden charm and quark content $c\bar{c}q\bar{q}$,…
We investigate the masses of $cs \bar c \bar s$ tetraquark states in a diquark-antidiquark picture employing the relativized quark model proposed by Godfrey and Isgur. Only the antitriplet diquark states in color space are calculated. The…
In recent years, more and more exotic hadronic states have been discovered successively. Many of them can be explained as hadronic molecules, such as $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, $X(3872)$, and $P_c$ pentaquark states. Analogous to the formation of…
We introduce the hypothesis that diquarks and antidiquarks in tetraquarks are separated by a potential barrier. We show that this notion can answer satisfactorily long standing questions challenging the diquark-antidiquark model of exotic…
In a modified chromomagnetic interaction model, assuming $X(4140)$ to be the lowest $1^{++}$ $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark and treating it as the reference state, we systematically investigated the masses of the triply-heavy tetraquark…
In this work, we systematically investigate the charmed-strange dibaryon systems with $csssqq$ quarks and their baryon-antibaryon partners from the interactions $\Xi^{(',*)}_{c}\Xi^{(*)}$, $\Omega^{(*)}_c\Lambda$,…
We discuss the possible existence of exotic dibaryons with a heavy antiquark, being realized three-body systems, Dbar^(*)NN and B^(*)NN. These are genuinely exotic states with no quark-antiquark annihilation. We consider the heavy quark…
Very recently, LHCb experiment announced the observation of hidden-charm pentaquark states $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$ near the $ \Sigma_c \bar{D}$ and $ \Sigma_c \bar{D}^\ast$ thresholds, respectively. In this present work,…
In the framework of the chiral quark model, we investigate the hidden strange pentaquark system of the $N\phi$ state with the quantum numbers of IJ=$\frac{1}{2}$$\frac{3}{2}$. The results show that the $N\phi$ state can be bound through the…
The conventional loosely bound molecule interpretation of the $X(3872)$ is not compatible with the recent LHCb experimental measurement of the ratio of branching fractions…
The measurements on a few pentaquarks states $P_c(4440)$, $P_c(4457)$ and $P_{cs}(4459)$ excite our new interests about their structures. Since the masses of $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ are close to the threshold of $\Sigma_c\bar D^*$, in…
We investigated the four-quark systems with quark structures of $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$, $cq\bar{c}\bar{s}$, $bs\bar{b}\bar{s}$, and $bq\bar{b}\bar{s}$ in the framework of the non-relativistic quark model, motivated by the recent observation of…
We refine our previous study of a $u d \bar{b} \bar{b}$ tetraquark resonance with quantum numbers $I(J^{P})=0(1^{-})$, which is based on antiheavy-antiheavy lattice QCD potentials, by including heavy quark spin effects via the mass…
The physics of charm has become one of the best laboratories exposing the limitations of the naive constituent quark model and also giving hints into a more mature description of meson spectroscopy, beyond the simple quark--antiquark…

We discuss the possibility that the X(3872) can be a hadronic DD* bound state in the framework of a potential model. The potential is generated by the exchange of pseudoscalar, scalar and vector mesons resulting from the Lagrangian of heavy…
