Using the effective Lagrangian approach, we examine the recently observed charm states $D^{*}_{J}(2460)$, $D_{J}(2560)$, $D_{J}(2740)$, $D_{J}(3000)$ and their spin partners $D^{*}_{J}(2680)$, $D^{*}_{J}(2760)$ and $D^{*}_{J}(3000)$ with…
Spectrum of the low-lying hidden- and double-charm tetraquark states are investigated in a nonrelativistic quark potential model, where the Instanton-induced interaction is taken as the residual spin-dependent hyperfine interaction between…

We investigate heavy quark symmetries for heavy light meson-antimeson systems in a contact-range effective field theory. In the SU(3) light flavor limit, the leading order Lagrangian respecting heavy quark spin symmetry contains four…
Inspired by the first observation of a vector charmonium-like state $Y(4626)$ decaying to a meson pair $D_{s}^{+}D_{s1}(2536)^{-}$, which could be viewed as a $P$-wave scalar-scalar $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ tetraquark state, we predict a…
Masses of the ground and excited (1P, 2S, 1D, 2P, 3S) states of the fully-heavy tetraquarks, composed of charm ($c$) and bottom ($b$) quarks and antiquarks, are calculated in the diquark-antidiquark picture within the relativistic quark…
I discuss the most recently discovered open charm mesons, both with and without strangeness. By exploiting the heavy quark limit, strong decay widths of such mesons are computed. Comparison between theoretical predictions and experimental…
We discuss a possible interpretation of the open charm mesons $D_{s0}^*(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$ and the hidden charm mesons X(3872), Y(3940) and Y(4140) as hadron molecules. Using a phenomenological Lagrangian approach we review the strong…
Pion exchange in S-wave between hadrons that are themselves in a relative S-wave is shown to shift energies by hundreds of MeV, leading to deeply bound quasi-molecular states. In the case of charmed mesons $D^*,D_1$ a spectroscopy arises…
This contribution briefly discusses some new theoretical results for the properties of charmonium, especially the "higher charmonium" states above open-charm threshold. In particular we discuss the spectrum of states, open-flavor strong…
Since the discovery of the first charmed meson in 1976, many open-charm and open-bottom hadrons were observed. In 2003 two narrow charm-strange states $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ were discovered by the BaBar and CLEO Collaborations,…
We set the scene for theoretical issues in charm physics that were discussed at CHARM 2016 in Bologna. In particular we emphasize the importance of improving our understanding of standard model contributions to numerous charm observables…
