We systematically study the 1D charmonium spin-triplet (with the $J^{PC}=1^{--}, 2^{--}, 3^{--}$) and spin-singlet (with the $J^{PC}=2^{-+}$) via the QCD sum rules in comparison with the recent experimental results. The predicted mass…
In this article, we review the recent experimental studies on the charmoniumlike states, mainly from the e+e- annihilation experiments BESIII, Belle, BaBar, and CLEO-c, and the hadron collider experiment LHCb. We discuss the results on the…
We provide comprehensive investigations for the mass spectrum of exotic open-flavor charmed/bottom $sq\bar q\bar c$, $qq\bar q\bar c$, $sq\bar q\bar b$, $qq\bar q\bar b$ tetraquark states with various spin-parity assignments $J^P=0^+, 1^+,…
In this article, we study the axial-vector tetraquark state and two-quark-tetraquark mixed state consist of light quarks using the QCD sum rules. The present predictions disfavor assigning the $a_1(1420)$ as the axial-vector tetraquark…
Motivated by the analogous properties of the $Z_c(3900/3885)$ and $Z_{cs}(3985/4000)$, we tentatively assign the $Z_c(4020/4025)$ as the $A\bar{A}$-type hidden-charm tetraquark state with the $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$, where the $A$ denotes the…
In this article, we construct the color-singlet-color-singlet type currents and the color-singlet-color-singlet-color-singlet type currents to study the scalar $D^*\bar{D}^*$, $D^*D^*$ tetraquark molecular states and the vector…
The observations of fully-charm tetraquark states in the LHCb, CMS and ATLAS experiments suggested the existence of the hadronic molecules of two-charmonium states, which may also imply bound states in the three-charmonium systems. In this…
We take the scalar, pseudoscalar, axialvector, vector and tensor diquarks as the basic building blocks to construct the four-quark currents with implicit P-waves, and investigate the hidden-charm-hidden-strange tetraquark states with the…
We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the doubly heavy tetraquark states $QQ\bar{q}\bar{n}$ with spin-parity $J^{P}=1^{+}$ and strangeness $S=0, -1$ using careful estimates of the Borel and threshold parameters involved. Masses of…
We present improved estimates of the couplings, masses and mass ratios of the $X_Q, Z_Q$ and $T_{QQ\bar q\bar q'}$ states using (inverse) QCD Laplace sum rules (LSR), their ratios ${\cal R}$ and double ratios (DRSR), within stability…
In this work, we study the charmonium(-like) spectrum below 4.1 GeV using the diabatic approach, which offers a unified description of conventional and unconventional heavy meson states. Compared to previous studies, we consider a more…
In this article, we introduce a P-wave between the diquark and antidiquark explicitly to construct the vector tetraquark currents, and study the vector tetraquark states with the QCD sum rules systematically, and obtain the lowest vector…
We present a quark model calculation of the charmonium spectrum with self energy corrections due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. The bare masses used in the calculation are computed within the relativized quark model by…
Charmonium spectroscopy with Kogut-Susskind valence quarks are carried out for quenched QCD at $\beta=6.0$ and for two-flavor full QCD at $\beta=5.7$. Results for 1P--1S mass splitting and estimates of $\alpha^{(5)}_{\overline{MS}}(m_Z)$…
The compact tetraquark states with fully heavy quark contents $QQ\bar Q\bar Q$ are studied as the bound states of the diquark-antidiquark within the Bethe-Salpeter framework. The (anti)diquark masses and form factors used are the same as we…
The spectrum of tetraquark states with hidden charm is studied within an effective QCD Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian approach. Of the four independent color schemes, two are investigated, the $(q\bar{c})_1(c\bar{q})_1$ singlet-singlet…
In the present work, we adopt the scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axialvector and tensor (anti)diquark operators as the elementary building blocks to construct vector and tensor local four-quark currents without introducing explicit P-waves,…
The masses of the recently reported by LHCb two pentaquark charmonium states $P_{c}^{*}(4380)$ and $P_{c}^{*}(4450)$ which are supposed to have the configuration $(uudc\overline{c})$ have been estimated in the framework of the quasiparticle…
Many mesons with properties incompatible with a $\bar cc$ structure have already been discovered, e.g. the $Z_c$ mesons with isospin 1. We investigate the spectrum of exotic charmonium-like mesons using lattice QCD. The focus is on $\bar cc…
Using a relativized diquark model Hamiltonian, we calculate the masses of $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ ground-state tetraquarks in the following systems: $b s \bar b \bar s$, $bb \bar n \bar n$ ($n=u, d$), $bb \bar s \bar s$, $cc\bar c \bar c$, $b b…
