The method of QCD sum rules at finite temperature is reviewed, with emphasis on recent results. These include predictions for the survival of charmonium and bottonium states, at and beyond the critical temperature for de-confinement, as…

Two decades after its unexpected discovery, the properties of the $X(3872)$ exotic resonance are still under intense scrutiny. In particular, there are doubts about its nature as an ensemble of mesons or having any other internal structure.…

Motivated by the very recent discovery of fully open-flavor exotic states $X_0(2900)$ and $X_1(2900)$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we study possible interpretations of these exotic states by QCD Sum Rules method. We have calculated mass and…

We report evidence for the decay modes X(3872) --> gamma J/psi and X(3872)--> pi+pi-pi0 J/psip. In the latter, the pi+pi-pi0 invariant mass distribution has a strong peak between 750 MeV and the kinematic limit of 775 MeV, suggesting that…

We present results from a study of X(3872) --> pi+pi- J/psi decays produced via exclusive B--> K X(3872) decays. We determine the mass to be M_X(3872)= (3871.84\pm 0.27 (stat)\pm 0.19 (syst)) MeV, a 90% CL upper limit on the natural width…

Right since its discovery in 2003 by the Belle collaboration, establishing the nature of the $X(3872)$ meson has been one of the main priorities in the field of quarkonium physics. Not qualifying as a conventional $c\bar{c}$ state, the…

Recently, the BESIII Collaboration indicate that no $\Lambda_c\bar{\Sigma}_c$ bound-state with a mass near threshold in the range $4715$--$4735~\mathrm{MeV}$ was observed. In order to determine the plausible mass region of the states in…

We estimate the energy of the lowest Charmonium and Upsilon states with hybrid admixtures using the method of QCD Sum Rules. Our results show that the $\Psi'(2S)$ and $\Upsilon(3S)$ states both have about a 50% admixture of hybrid and meson…

We report recent results on the properties of the X(3872) produced via the B-->KX(3872) decay process in the Belle detector. We compare these properties with expectations for possible charmonium-state assignments.

We use Ward identities of broken scale invariance to infer the amount of scalar glueball--$\bar{q}q$ meson mixing from the ratio of quark and gluon condensates in the QCD vacuum. Assuming dominance by a single scalar state, as suggested by…

Many new states in the charmonium mass region were recently discovered by BaBar, Belle, CLEO-c, CDF, D0, BESIII, LHCb and CMS Collaborations. We use the QCD Sum Rule approach to study the possible structure of some of these states.

We perform a systematical study of possible molecular states composed of the $S$ wave heavy light mesons, where the $S-D$ mixing and {$\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing} are explicitly included. Our calculation indicates that the observed…

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…

The effects of charmed meson loops on the spectrum of charmonium are considered, with special attention paid to the levels above open-charm threshold. It is found that the coupling to charmed mesons generates a structure at the D \bar{D}*…

In a molecular scenario, we investigate the isospin-breaking hidden charm decay processes of $X(3872)$, i.e., $X(3872) \to \pi^+ \pi^- J/\psi$, $X(3872) \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 J/\psi$, and $X(3872)\to \pi^0\chi_{cJ}$. We assume that the…

The $X(3872)$ is investigated by employing the quark-hadron hybrid model, that consists of the $c\bar c$ core, $D^{(*)}\bar D{}^*$, $J/\psi\omega$, and $J/\psi\rho$ two-meson states. Due to the attraction from the $c\bar c$-$D\bar D{}^*$…

We consider the implications from the possibility that the recently observed state X(3872) is a meson-antimeson molecule. We write an effective Lagrangian consistent with the heavy-quark and chiral symmetries needed to describe X(3872). We…

I discuss the nature of the new charm and charmonium like states observed in the last few years and measurements that can test these assignments. In particular it appears that the X(3943) is the eta_c''(3^1S_0) which can be tested by…

The hidden-charm decays serve as irreplaceable platforms for probing the structures of charmonium-like states, such as $X(3872)$, $Y(4260)$, $Z_c(3900)$, and their heavy-quark-symmetry partners. In the hadronic molecular scenario, these…

A precision measurement of the mass difference between the $D^0$ and $D^{*0}$ mesons has been made using 316~pb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation data taken at $\sqrt{s}=4170$~MeV using the CLEO-c detector. We obtain $\Delta M \equiv…
