The $D_{s0}^*(2317) D$ and $D_{s1}^*(2460) D^*$ heavy meson systems can exchange a kaon that is emitted in S-wave owing to the opposite intrinsic parity of the $D_{s0}^*$($D_{s1}^*$) and $D$($D^*$) mesons. As a consequence of the mass…
The Belle Collaboration has recently reported a study of the decays $B \to D_{s1}(2536)^{+}\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ and has given also estimates of relevant ratios between branching fractions of decays $B \to D^{(\ast)}D_{sJ}^{(\ast)}$ providing…
The dipionic transition of the $X(3872)$ to the $\eta_c$ was investigated using an effective Lagrangian approach. In this study, the $X(3872)$ was assumed to be a $D\bar{D}^\ast + \text{c.c.}$ bound state with the quantum numbers…
I review some recent results on hadronic decays of charmed mesons. These decays illuminate a wide range of physics, including the absolute normalizations of b and c decays, the understanding of D^0 mixing, the coupling of heavy mesons to…
It is pointed out that the internal structure of the narrow resonance X(3872) at the D^0 {\bar D}^{*0} threshold can be studied in some detail by measuring the rate and the spectra in the decays X(3872) \to D^0 {\bar D}^0 \pi^0 and X(3872)…
I present a brief review of results obtained both in open and hidden charm spectroscopy, discussing the interpretation of $D_{sJ}(2860)$, $D_{sJ}(2700)$ and X(3872).
In this work, we study the radiative open-charm decays $Y(4140)\to {D}_s^{\ast+} D_s^- \gamma$ and $Y(3930)\to{D}^{\ast+} D^-\gamma$ under the assignments of $D_{s}^*\bar{D}_s^*$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ as molecular states for Y(4140) and…
We report on a study of $B$ mesons decaying into one of the narrow P-wave charm resonances, $D_2^{*}(2460)^{0}$ and $D_1(2420)^0$. Our preliminary results are based on 89 million \BB pairs collected with the \babar detector at the PEP-II…
Heavy-light diquarks can be the building blocks of a rich spectrum of states which can accommodate some of the newly observed charmonium-like resonances not fitting a pure c-cbar assignment. We examine this possibility for hidden and open…
The internal structure of the near-threshold exotic hadrons, $T_{cc}$ and $X(3872)$, are studied by respecting the decay and coupled-channel contributions. The effective field theory model is introduced to calculate the compositeness, the…
We analyze the recent data from the BESIII collaboration on the $X(3872)$ state in the $J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ and $D^0\bar{D}^0\pi^0$ decay channels. The quantum number and mass of the $X(3872)$ state allow us to exploit the universal feature…
We review how quark models are able to describe the phenomenology of the charm meson sector. The spectroscopy and decays of charmonium and open charm mesons are described in a particular quark model and compared with the data and the…
The recently-discovered narrow charmonium resonance near 3870 MeV is interpreted as a hadronic molecule whose constituents are the charm mesons D^0 and \bar D^{*0} or \bar D^0 and D^{*0}. Because of an accidental fine-tuning of the molecule…
Assuming that $X(3872)$ is a mixture between $2P$ charmonium and $\bar{D}D^{*}$ molecular states with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, an analysis of $X(3872)$ radiative decays into $J/\psi \gamma$ and $\psi(2S)\gamma$ is presented. The modification of the…
The isotriplet Sigmac(2800) baryon with possible quantum numbers J(P) = 1/2(+), 1/2(-) or 3/2(+), 3/2(-) is considered as a hadronic molecule composed of a nucleon and a D meson. We determine the strong two-body decay widths Sigmac to…
We have studied some possible four-quark and molecule contents of the X(3872) using double ratios of sum rules, which are more accurate than the usual simple ratios often used in the literature for getting the hadron masses. We found that…
Decays of hidden-charm scalar tetra-quark mesons as the partners of D_{s0}(2317) which has successfully been assigned to the iso-triplet scalar tetra-quark [c,n][sbar,nbar]_{I=1} meson are studied. Because OZI-rule allowed strong decays are…
This contribution to the SQM2024 conference covers the molecular hypothesis for the internal structure of some open and hidden charm states. The use of effective theories that incorporate heavy-quark spin symmetry, combined with…
If known, the spectrum of heavy-hadron molecules will be a key tool to disentangle the nature of the exotic states that are being discovered in experiments. Here we argue that the general features of the molecular spectrum can be deduced…
It has been argued that the mystery boson X(3872) is a molecule state consisting of primarily D0-D0*bar + D0bar-D*0. In contrast, apparent puzzles and potential difficulties have been pointed out for the charmonium assignment of X(3872). We…
