We study the vector-vector interaction within the framework of the hidden gauge formalism for the sector with quantum numbers charm C=0 and strangeness S=0 in the region around 4000 MeV. We get five poles, three of which could be identified…
We study the radiative decay properties of the charmonium-like X, Y and Z mesons generated dynamically from vector meson-vector meson interaction in the framework of a unitarized hidden-gauge formalism. In the present work we calculate the…
The positive parity $\chi_{cJ}(2P)$ charmonium states are expected to lie around the 3.9 GeV/$c^2$ energy region, according to the predictions of quark models. However, a plethora of states with difficult assignment and unconventional…
The interaction potentials between vector mesons and octet baryons are calculated explicitly with a summation of t-, s-, u-channel diagrams and a contact term originating from the tensor interaction. Many resonances are generated…
We apply a unitary approach together with a set of hidden-gauge Lagrangians to study the vector-vector interaction. We study the case of the $\rho$($\omega$)$D^*$ interaction within the model. In $I=1/2$ we get strong enough attraction to…
The formalism developed recently to study vector meson--vector meson interaction, and applied to the case of $\rho\rho$, is extended to study the interaction of the nonet of vector mesons among themselves. The interaction leads to poles of…
Within the framework of the local hidden gauge approach, we have studied the near-threshold interaction of the $D^* \bar{D}^*$ channel with quantum numbers $I(J^{PC}) = 0(0^{++})$, $0(2^{++})$, $1(0^{++})$, and $1(2^{++})$, respectively.…
In this talk we present a short review of recent developments concerning the interaction of vector mesons with baryons and with nuclei. We begin with the hidden gauge formalism for the interaction of vector mesons, then review results for…
The scalar resonances $X(3915), X(3960), X(4140)$ are considered as exotic four-quark states: $cq\bar c \bar q, cs\bar c \bar s, cs\bar c\bar s$, while the $X(3863)$ is proved to be the $c\bar c, 2\,^3P_0$ state. The masses and the widths…
In this manuscript we study the vector - vector interaction within the hidden gauge formalism in a coupled channel unitary approach. In the sector $C=1,S=1,J=2$ we get a pole in the T-matrix around $2572$ MeV that we identify with the…
We study composite systems of light ($\rho$ and $\omega$) and heavy ($D^*$) vector mesons by using the interaction within the hidden gauge formalism. We find a strong attraction in the isospin, spin channels $(I,S)=(1/2,0)$; $(1/2,1)$;…
We propose that the $X(3915)$ observed in the $J/\psi\,\omega$ channel is the same state as the $\chi_{c2}(3930)$, and the $X(3960)$, observed in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ channel, is an $S$-wave $D_s^+ D_s^-$ hadronic molecule. In addition, the…
Using a constituent quark model we study the mass and decay channels of meson meson and meson baryon structures in the charm sector. We show that the $X(3872)$ and $X(3940)$ resonances can be described as mixed charmonium-molecular states…
The heavy hadron spectrum is constrained by symmetries, of which two of the most important ones are heavy-quark spin and SU(3)-flavor symmetries. Here we argue that in the molecular picture the $Y(4230)$ (or $Y(4260)$), the $Y(4360)$ and…
In this work, a study of the $D_s\bar{D}_s$ interaction and its couplings to the channels $D\bar{D}$ and $J/\psi \phi$ is performed in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The $D_s^+{D}_s^-$ and $D^+{D}^-$ invariant mass…
