Recent years have seen rapid developments in our knowledge and understanding of meson spectroscopy, especially in the charm quark sectors. In my invited overview I discussed some of these recent new developments, including theoretical…
We present a spectrum of highly excited charmonium mesons up to around 4.5 GeV calculated using dynamical lattice QCD. Employing novel computational techniques and the variational method with a large basis of carefully constructed…
Discovery of the X(3872) meson in 2003 ignited intense interest in exotic (neither $q\bar{q}$ nor $qqq$) hadrons, but a $c\bar{c}$ interpretation of this state was difficult to exclude. An unequivocal exotic was discovered in the…
A brief report of some recent experimental developments concerning the $X$, $Y$ and $Z$ charmoniumlike mesons states and other puzzling states from the BaBar, Belle, BESIII and CDF experiments is presented.
We propose a new interpretation of the neutral and charged X, Z exotic hadron resonances. Hybridized-tetraquarks are neither purely compact tetraquark states nor bound or loosely bound molecules. The latter would require a negative or zero…
Despite the apparent simplicity of meson spectroscopy there are some states which cannot be accommodated in the usual $q\bar q$ structure. Among them there are either exotic states as the X(1600) or the recently measured charm states…
Starting from 2003, the discovery of a large amount of the so-called exotic hadronic states, i.e., the $XYZ$ states, the pentaquark states as well as the tetraquark states, have not only revived studies of hadron spectroscopy, but also…
Exotic hadrons are a new class of hadronic states whose properties do not allow them to be classified as conventional quark-antiquark mesons or three quark baryons. Finding new and understanding established exotic states is the most…
In order to test different models proposed for some states discovered recently in the charmonium mass range that do not fit into the pattern predicted by the conventional quark model, we derive predictions for the spectrum within the…
It is suggested that the recently reported charged charmoniumlike resonance $Z_c(4100)$ and the previously observed $Z_c(4200)$ are two states of hadrocharmonium, related by the charm quark spin symmetry in the same way as the lowest…
Meson states with exotic quantum numbers arise naturally in a covariant bound-state framework in QCD. We investigate the consequences of shifting quark masses such that the states are no longer restricted to certain C-parities, but only by…
Current experiments at the B factories, designed to perform precision measurements of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the B meson system, have a much broader physics reach especially in the sector of quarkonium spectroscopy. Here we present…
With the discovery of new states in recent years, interest in spectroscopy has revived. Recent experimental results in heavy flavour spectroscopy are reviewed, including charmonium, bottomonium, charmed mesons and baryons and bottom mesons.
A review of some of the recent experimental developments concerning the X, Y and Z charmoniumlike meson states is presented.
In this paper we investigate the Exotic Charmonium (EC) production in $\gamma \gamma$ interactions present in proton-proton, proton-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies as well as for the…
The new recently experiments at the B-factories yield a renewed interest in the charm and charmonium spectroscopy. New intriguing states have been observed, which appear to be non-conventional mesons, such as X(3862) and Y(4260) and request…
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of progress in the areas of charm and charmonium spectroscopy, in large part due to the very large data samples being accumulated at the e+e- B-Factories. In this presentation I will focus on…
We present a plausible mechanism for the origin of the $XYZ$ mesons in the heavy meson spectra within a standard quark-model picture. We discuss the conditions required for the existence of four--quark bound states or resonances…
In this talk we present some recent studies of multiquark components in the charmonium sector. We study the possible existence of compact four quark-states and meson-meson molecules in the charmonium spectroscopy.
We review recent studies on exotic states at the Belle experiment. The results include: (1) The measurement of the cross sections of $\gamma \gamma \to \omega \phi$, $\phi\phi$, and $\omega \omega$ for masses that range from threshold to…
