The structure, spectroscopic parameters and width of the resonance with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ discovered by the COMPASS Collaboration and classified as the $a_1(1420)$ meson are examined in the context of QCD sum rule method. In…

We investigate the mass and strong decay properties of the $\Omega(2012)$ resonance using QCD sum rules, assuming it to be an S-wave $\Xi(1530)\bar{K}$ molecular pentaquark state with $I(J^{P})= 0(\frac{3}{2}^{-})$. A unified interpolating…

Non-leptonic D meson decays may provide a reliable testbed for the multiquark interpretation of light scalar mesons. In this letter we consider D_s decay and show that a 4-quark f_0(980) meson could induce a decay pattern, which is…

The full-heavy tetraquarks $cc\bar{c}\bar{b}$ and $bb\bar{b}\bar{c}$ are systematically investigated within the chiral quark model. The meson-meson structure, diquark-antidiquark structure and K-structure are considered in this work. There…

We report a study of the B meson decays, B+ -> J/psi phi K+, B0 -> J/psi phi K0S, B0 -> J/psi phi, B0 -> J/psi eta and B0 -> J/psi eta' using 56 million BBbar events collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II e+…

The assignments of the isoscalar scalar mesons f0(980), f0(1370), and f0(1500) in terms of their qqbar substructure is still a matter of heated dispute. Here we employ the weak and electromagnetic decays D(s)(+) to f0+pi(+) and f0…

Light mesons have always been an important part of the whole hadron family, once inspiring the SU(3) classification of hadrons as a typical example~\cite{Gell-Mann:1964ewy}. Until now, the search for light mesons has been an ongoing task in…

Motivated by the recently observed $D_{s0}(2590)$ state by LHCb, we investigate the mass spectrum and the strong decay properties of the charmed-strange mesons within Godfrey-Isgur model considering the coupled-channel effects. Our results…

The coupling constants of the order $p^2$ low-energy weak effective lagrangian can be determined from the $K\to\pi$ and $K\to 0$ weak matrix elements, choosing degenerate quark masses for the first of these. However, for typical values of…

This letter reports results from the partial wave analysis of the $\pi^{-}\pi^{-}\pi^{+}\eta$ final state in $\pi^{-}p$ collisions at 18GeV/c. Strong evidence is observed for production of two mesons with exotic quantum numbers of spin,…

In the reactions $p\bar p\to\pi^0\pi^0,\eta\eta,\eta\eta'$ there are four relatively narrow resonances $f_2(1920)$, $f_2(2020)$, $f_2(2240)$, $f_2(2300)$, and a broad one $f_2(2000)$ in the mass region 1990--2400 MeV. In the framework of…

We calculate the masses of the resonances D_{s0}^*(2317) and D_{s1}(2460) as well as their bottom partners as bound states of a kaon and a D^*- and B^*-meson, respectively, in unitarized chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order.…

Inspired by the newly observed $\Omega_c^0$ states at LHCb, we decode their properties by performing an analysis of mass spectrum and decay behavior. Our studies show that the five narrow states, i.e., $\Omega_c(3000)^0$,…

In the standard model the rate of the $\pi^0, \eta, \eta', K_S, K_L\to \nu \overline{\nu}$ decays is predicted to be extremely small. Therefore, observation of any of these mesons ($M^0$) decaying into an invisible final state would signal…

This talk reviews the last applications of the covariant quark model for studying the properties of the multiquark states: B_s-meson (quark-antiquark state), light baryons (three-quark states) and tetraquark (four-quark state). The form…

The strong decays of excited nonstrange baryons into the final states Lambda K, Sigma K, and for the first time into Lambda(1405) K, Lambda(1520) K, Sigma(1385) K, Lambda K*, and Sigma K*, are examined in a relativized quark pair creation…

We describe searches for $B^0$ meson decays to the charmless final states $\pi^0 K^0_SK^0_S$, $\eta K^0_S K^0_S$, and $\eta^{\prime}K^0_SK^0_S$. The data sample corresponds to $467 \times 10^{6}$ $B\bar{B}$ pairs produced in $e^+e^-$…
