We discuss decays and productions for the possible molecular states formed by bottom mesons B (B*) and anti-B (anti-B*). The twin resonances found by Belle, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), are such candidates. The spin wave functions of the…
We discuss the heavy quark spin structure of the recently observed `twin' resonances $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ assuming that these are mostly of a `molecular' type, i.e. that their internal dynamics is dominated by the coupling to meson…
Motivated by the two charged bottomonium-like resonances $Z_b$(10610) and $Z_b$(10650) newly observed by the Belle collaboration, the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons, $B\bar{B}, B\bar{B}^*, B^*\bar{B}^*,…
In recent years, many heavy mesons and charmonia were observed which do not fit in the conventional quark model expectations. Some of them are proposed to be hadronic molecules. Here we investigate the consequences of heavy quark spin…
Among the newly observed structures in the heavy quarkonium mass region, some are proposed to be hadronic molecules. We investigate the consequences of heavy quark flavor symmetry on these heavy meson hadronic molecules. The symmetry allows…
We study the implications of the heavy-quark spin symmetry for the possible spin partners of the exotic states $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ in the spectrum of bottomonium. We formulate and solve numerically the coupled-channel equations…
In general, resonances are obtained by the Breit-Wigner parameterization. However, it is not entirely appropriate to use this parameterization with near-threshold resonances such as the $Z_b(10610)$ and the $Z_b(10650)$, as Breit-Wigner…
The Belle collaboration recently discovered two resonances, $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ --- denoted $Z_b$ and $Z_b^\prime$ --- in the decays $\Upsilon(5S) \to \Upsilon(nS) \pi^+ \pi^-$ for $n$ = 1, 2, or 3, and $\Upsilon(5S) \to h_b(mP)…
In present work, we perform a coupled-channel analysis of $B^{(*)}_{(s)}\bar{B}^{(*)}_{(s)}$ systems with the one-boson-exchange potentials. We first study the $I(J^{PC})=1(1^{+-})$ $B\bar{B}^{*}/B^{*}\bar{B}^{*}$ system to describe the…
In this work, we have used an Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework based on Heavy Quark Spin (HQSS), Heavy Flavour (HFS) and Heavy Antiquark-Diquark symmetries (HADS). Using a standard lagrangian for the heavy meson-heavy antimeson…
The recently observed narrow resonance $Z_{b}(10610)$ is examined with the assumptions both as a $B^{*}\bar{B}$ molecular state and a $[bd][\bar{b}\bar{u}]$ tetraquark state with quantum numbers $I^{G}J^{P}=1^{+}1^{+}$. Possible…
It is argued that the recent Belle data, consistent with no activity in the spectrum of the $B^* \bar B + B \bar B^*$ pairs at the mass of the $Z_b(10650)$ resonance, imply that the part of the interaction between heavy mesons that depends…
This talk summarizes recent developments in quarkonium spectroscopy. I comment on the relation between the Z_b(10610) and Z_b(10650) and recently observed Z_c(3900) and Z_c(4025) states. Then I discuss a number of calculations using…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a near-threshold enhancement, $X(3960)$, in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ invariant mass distribution. We show that the data can be well described by either a bound or a virtual state below the $D_s^+D_s^-$…
The charged exotic mesons Z_b(10610) and Z'_b(10650) observed by the Belle collaboration in 2011 are very close to the B* Bbar and B* Bbar* thresholds, respectively. This suggests their interpretation as shallow hadronic molecules of B and…
We study heavy hadron spectroscopy near open bottom thresholds. We employ B and B* mesons as effective degrees of freedom near the thresholds, and consider meson exchange potentials between them. All possible composite states which can be…
We investigate heavy quark symmetries for heavy light meson-antimeson systems in a contact-range effective field theory. In the SU(3) light flavor limit, the leading order Lagrangian respecting heavy quark spin symmetry contains four…
Whether molecular states indeed exist in nature has been disputed for a long time. Several new resonances have been observed in the recent experiments and they seem to be of exotic structures and some of them have been proposed to be…
Properties of bottom and bottom-strange mesons are computed in two relativized quark models. Model masses and wavefunctions are used to predict radiative transition rates and the $^3P_0$ quark pair creation model is used to compute strong…
We discuss the possibility and the description of bound states between $B$ and $\bar{B}^*$ mesons. We argue that the existence of such a bound state can be deduced from (i) the weakly bound X(3872) state, (ii) certain assumptions about the…
