In this talk we present some recent studies of multiquark components in the charmonium sector. We study the possible existence of compact four quark-states and meson-meson molecules in the charmonium spectroscopy.
The physics of charm has become one of the best laboratories exposing the limitations of the naive constituent quark model and also giving hints into a more mature description of meson spectroscopy, beyond the simple quark--antiquark…
Charmonium is an attractive system for the application of lattice QCD methods. While the sub-threshold spectrum has been considered in some detail in previous works, it is only very recently that excited and higher-spin states and further…
This talk reviews recent experimental results on selected topics in the spectroscopy of charmonia, charmonium-like states and light mesons.
To illustrate the campaign to understand heavy quarkonium systems, I focus on a puzzling new state, $X(3872) \to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$. Studying the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties leads us to propose a new charmonium…
This contribution briefly discusses some new theoretical results for the properties of charmonium, especially the "higher charmonium" states above open-charm threshold. In particular we discuss the spectrum of states, open-flavor strong…
We revise and extend expectations for the properties of charmonium states that lie above charm threshold, in light of new experimental information. We refine the Cornell coupled-channel model for the coupling of c-cbar levels to two-meson…
Recent experimental results in charm and charmonium spectroscopy are reviewed.
There have been numerous developments in hadron spectroscopy over the past year. In this brief review I focus on two general areas. In the first I give an update on hadrons with b-quarks. Their properties are in textbook agreement with QCD…
We present a plausible mechanism for the origin of the $XYZ$ mesons in the heavy meson spectra within a standard quark-model picture. We discuss the conditions required for the existence of four--quark bound states or resonances…
We study the charmonium spectrum including higher spin and gluonic excitations. We determine an upper limit on the mixing of the eta_c ground state with light pseudoscalar flavour-singlet mesons and investigate the mixing of charmonia near…
In this talk, I review the recent experimental results on charmonium spectroscopy from BESIII, Belle, BaBar and CLEOc. Below the open-charm threshold, the masses and widths of spin-singlet states eta_c, eta_c(2S), h_c are measured with high…
Charmonium is a bound state of a charmed quark and a charmed antiquark, and a charmoniumlike state is a resonant structure that contains a charmed quark and antiquark pair but has properties that are incompatible with a conventional…
A large number of new states have been reported during the last few years in charmonium spectroscopy above the charmed meson production threshold. They have been called $X's$, $Y's$, and $Z's$. We reflect on the influence of thresholds on…
The lowest-lying charmonium-like tetraquarks $c\bar{c}q\bar{q}$ $(q=u,\,d)$ and $c\bar{c}s\bar{s}$, with spin-parity $J^P=0^+$, $1^+$ and $2^+$, and isospin $I=0$ and $1$, are systematically investigated within the theoretical framework of…
Recent years have seen rapid developments in our knowledge and understanding of meson spectroscopy, especially in the charm quark sectors. In my invited overview I discussed some of these recent new developments, including theoretical…
We study charmonium ($c\bar c n\bar n$), bottomonium ($b\bar b n\bar n$) and exotic ($cc\bar n\bar n$ and $bb\bar n\bar n$) four-quark states by means of a standard non-relativistic quark potential model. We look for possible bound states.…
Two numerical methods are developed to reduce the solution of the radial Schr\"odinger equation for proposed heavy quark-antiquark interactions, into the solution of the eigenvalue problem for the infinite system of tridiagonal matrices.…
The past decade witnessed a remarkable proliferation of exotic charmonium-like resonances discovered at accelerators. In particular, the recently observed charged states are clearly not interpretable as q-qbar mesons. Notwithstanding the…
With the discovery of new states in recent years, interest in spectroscopy has revived. Recent experimental results in heavy flavour spectroscopy are reviewed, including charmonium, bottomonium, charmed mesons and baryons and bottom mesons.
