We suggest that the recently discovered charm-strange meson D_sJ(2632), with unusual properties, could be a cyptoexotic tetraquark baryonium state cdd_bars_bar. We predict other four narrow states, as Regge recurrences of D_sJ(2632), below…

In the present work, we adopt a relativistic constituent quark model to depict the charmed strange meson spectroscopy, in which $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ are considered as the $1^3P_0$ and $1P_1^\prime$ charmed strange mesons,…

Motivated by the discovery of several charm states exhibiting tetraquark-like characteristics at BESIII and LHCb, this study investigates the spectroscopy and decay properties of D mesons and tetraquark states with quark content…

Since 2003 many new hadrons, including the lowest-lying positive-parity charm-strange mesons ${D_{s0}^*(2317)}$ and ${D_{s1}(2460)}$, were observed that do not conform with quark model expectations. It was recently demonstrated that various…

The properties of open charm mesons, $D$, $\bar D$, $D_s$ and $\bar D_s$ in nuclear matter at finite temperature are studied within a self-consistent coupled-channel approach. The interaction of the low lying pseudoscalar mesons with the…

Motivated by recent experimental results on charm physics we investigate implications of the updated constraints of new physics in rare charm meson decays. We first reconsider effects of the MSSM in $c\to u \gamma$ constrained by the recent…

The spectroscopic parameters and decay channels of the doubly charged scalar, pseudoscalar and axial-vector charm-strange tetraquarks $Z_{ \overline{c}s}=[sd][\overline u \overline c]$ are explored within framework of the QCD sum rule. The…

We have investigated $D^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $D^{*+}\pi^{-}$ final states and observed the two established $L=1$ charmed mesons, the $D_1(2420)^0$ with mass $2421^{+1+2}_{-2-2}$ MeV/c$^{2}$ and width $20^{+6+3}_{-5-3}$ MeV/c$^{2}$ and the…

We study the properties of open-charm mesons ($D$ and $\bar {D}$) in nuclear matter at finite temperature within a self-consistent coupled-channel approach. The meson-baryon interactions are adopted from a type of broken SU(4) s-wave…

In present work the Y(4260) resonance is considered as a weakly bound state of a pseudoscalar D and an axial D1 charm meson. We consider the two-body decay Y(4260) -> Zc(3900) + pi where Zc(3900) is treated as hadron molecule as well.…

The masses and decays of the scalar D_{s0}^*(2317) and axial-vector D_{s1}^*(2460) charmed strange mesons are calculated consistently in the hadrogenesis conjecture. These mesons decay either strongly into the isospin-violating pi^0 D_s and…

We provide results for the open-flavor strong decays of open-charm ($D$ and $D_{\rm s}$) and open-bottom ($B$, $B_{\rm s}$ and $B_{\rm c}$) mesons. The decays are calculated in a modified version of the $^3P_0$ pair-creation model, assuming…

Inspired by the recent report of the exotic states $X_{0}(2900)$ and $X_{1}(2900)$ with four different quark flavors in the $D^{-}K^{+}$ invariant mass distributions of the decay process $B^{+}\rightarrow D^{+}D^{-}K^{+}$ by the LHCb…

Assuming $D^*_{sJ}(2317)$ and $D_{sJ}(2460)$ to be the $(0^+,1^+)$ chiral partners of regular $D_{s}(1968)$ and $D^{*}_{s}(2112)$, we calculate the semileptonic decays of $B_s$ to $D_s(1968)$, $D^*_s(2112)$, $D_{sJ}^{*}(2317)$,…

The new mesons $X(3940)$ and $X(4160)$ have been found by Belle Collaboration in the processes $e^+e^-\to J/\psi D^{(*)}\bar D^{(*)}$. Considering $X(3940)$ and $X(4160)$ as $\eta_c(3S)$ and $\eta_c(4S)$ states, the two-body open charm…

We propose that the search of the $B\to D^{*}_{sJ}M$ decays, $M=D$, $\pi$ and $K$, can discriminate the different theoretical postulations for the nature of the recently observed $D^{*}_{sJ}$ mesons. The ratio of the branching ratios…

A slow $J/\psi$ bump exists in the inclusive $B\to J/\psi + X$ spectrum, while the softness of $J/\psi$ spectrum in $\Upsilon(1S) \to J/\psi + X$ decay is in strong contrast with expectations from color octet mechanism. We propose {\it…

We observe the decays $ $D^*_{s1}(2710)^+ \to D^*K$ and $D^*_{sJ}(2860)^+ \to D^*K$ and measure their branching fractions relative to the $D K$ final state. We also observe, in the $D^*K$ mass spectrum, a new broad structure at a mass of…

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…
