The strong interaction shift $\epsilon$ and broadening {\Gamma} in pionic deuterium have been determined in a high statistics study of the {\pi}D(3p - 1s) X-ray transition using a high-resolution crystal spectrometer. The pionic deuterium…
A lot of exotic hadrons were reported in the past twenty years, which bring us the renaissance of the hadron spectroscopy. Most of them can be understood as hadronic molecules, whose interactions are mainly due to the exchange of light…
After discussing the OZI suppression of one light meson exchange in the interaction of $D^* \bar D^*$ with isospin I=1, we study the contribution of two pion exchange to the interaction and the exchange of a heavy vector $J/\psi$. We find…
We evaluate a hadronic molecule formed by a heavy meson and a nucleon respecting heavy quark symmetry. The tensor force of pion exchange potential plays a dominate role to produce an strong attraction in this system. Solving coupled channel…
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…
The LHCb collaboration has recently discovered three pentaquark-like states --- the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ --- close to the $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ and the $\bar{D}^* \Sigma_c$ meson-baryon thresholds. The standard…
In this work, we study the interaction between a nucleon and a $P$-wave charmed meson in the $T$ doublet by exchanging a pion. Our calculations indicate that a nucleon and a $P$-wave charmed meson with $J^P=0^+$ or $J^P=1^+$ in the $T$…
We revisit the consequences of the heavy-quark spin symmetry for the possible spin partners of the $X(3872)$. We confirm that, if the $X(3872)$ were a $D\bar{D}^*$ molecular state with the quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, then in the strict…
Heavy flavour decay to light hadrons is the key to understanding many aspects of the SM from CP violation to strong dynamics. It is often presumed in line with the simple quark spectator model of D decay to Kpipi that the Kpi system has…
The X(3872) seems to be a loosely-bound hadronic molecule whose constituents are two charm mesons. A novel feature of this molecule is that the mass difference of the constituents is close to the mass of a lighter meson that can be…
The charmonium-like exotic states $Y(4230)$ and the less known $Y(4320)$, produced in $e^+e^-$ collisions, are sources of positive parity exotic hadrons in association with photons or pseudoscalar mesons. We analyze the radiative and pion…
We investigate the electromagnetic polarizabilities of singly heavy mesons and doubly heavy baryons within the framework of heavy hadron chiral perturbation theory up to $\mathcal{O}(p^3)$. We estimate the low-energy constants using the…
The positive parity scalar D$_{s0}^*$(2317) and axial-vector D$_{s1}^*$(2460) charmed strange mesons are generated by coupled-channel dynamics through the s-wave scattering of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar and vector D(D$_s$)-meson…
We calculate the two-pion exchange potential between a heavy meson and a heavy baryon. We find this potential is as strong as the one-pion exchange potential between two heavy mesons and is enough to bind $\Lambda_b-\bar B$. Though our…
Inspired by the recent observation of a narrow resonance-like structure around 2360 MeV in the p+n to d + \pi 0 + \pi 0 cross section, the possibility of forming a NN*(1440) quasi-molecular state is investigated by using a meson exchange…
The past four years has witnessed the renaissance of the hadron spectroscopy. Many interesting new hadron states were discovered experimentally, some of which do not fit into the quark model easily. I will give a concise overview of these…
We study the energy dependence of the contribution of pion exchange to large-rapidity-gap events in deep inelastic scattering. The results show that this contribution can be quite significant at low energy and that the LRG events observed…
The polarizabilities of light pseudoscalar mesons can be extracted from differential cross sections for Compton scattering near threshold. While this has been accomplished for charged pions employing Primakoff reactions, a corresponding…
We investigate the possibility of deuteron-like $\Sigma_c^*\bar{\Sigma}$ bound states within the one-boson-exchange model and systematically analyze the effects of the contact-range $\delta^{3}(\vec{r}\,)$ potential, the tensor term from…
