In this study, we propose using the $Z_c(3900)$ pole position to constrain the existence of the $DDD^*$ three-body bound state within the one-boson-exchange (OBE) model. The existence of the $DDD^*$ bound state remains uncertain due to…
Both unitary chiral theories and lattice QCD simulations show that the $DK$ interaction is attractive and can form a bound state, namely, $D^*_{s0}(2317)$. Assuming the validity of the heavy antiquark-diquark symmetry (HADS), the…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a new structure $P_{cs}(4459)$ with a mass of 19 MeV below the $\Xi_c \bar{D}^{*} $ threshold. It may be a candidate of molecular state from the $\Xi_c \bar{D}^{*} $ interaction. In the current…
We study the hadronic effects on the X(3872) meson abundance in heavy ion collisions. We evaluate the absorption cross sections of the X(3872) meson by pions and rho mesons in the hadronic stage of heavy ion collisions, and further…
Motivated by the recently observation of the tetraquark $T_{cc}^+ $ state, in this work I revisit the Heavy-Meson Effective Theory to perform a simplified field-theoretical study of possible deuteron-like $D^{(\ast)} D ^{(\ast)},…
The Schwinger-Dyson equation for the quark self-energy is solved for the case of the third and fourth quark generations. The exchanges of standard model gluons and Higgs bosons are taken into account. It is found that Higgs boson exchange…
Based on the observation that the heavy quark-antiquark potential value at infinity corresponds to twice the D meson mass, we constrain the asymptotic value of the heavy quark potential in a hot medium through a QCD sum rule calculation of…
We solve exactly the "boundary sine-Gordon" system of a massless scalar field \phi with a \cos[\beta\phi/2] potential at a boundary. This model has appeared in several contexts, including tunneling between quantum-Hall edge states and in…
Chiral extrapolation of the $X(3872)$ binding energy is investigated using the modified Weinberg formulation of chiral effective field theory for the $D \bar{D}^*$ scattering. Given its explicit renormalisability, this approach is…
To improve the theoretical understanding of multiquark states like $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$, we calculate the heavy-meson heavy-(anti)meson scattering potential up to next-to-leading order, $O(Q^2)$, within chiral effective field…
In this work, a study of the $D_s\bar{D}_s$ interaction and its couplings to the channels $D\bar{D}$ and $J/\psi \phi$ is performed in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The $D_s^+{D}_s^-$ and $D^+{D}^-$ invariant mass…
The $\eta$ meson can be bound to atomic nuclei. Experimental search is discussed in the form of final state interaction for the reactions $dp\to{^3\text{He}}\eta$ and $dd\to{^4\text{He}}\eta$. For the latter case tensor polarized deuterons…
We investigate the possibility of deuteron-like $\Sigma_c^*\bar{\Sigma}$ bound states within the one-boson-exchange model and systematically analyze the effects of the contact-range $\delta^{3}(\vec{r}\,)$ potential, the tensor term from…
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…
We study heavy hadron spectroscopy near heavy meson thresholds. We employ heavy pseudoscalar meson P and heavy vector meson P* as effective degrees of freedom and consider meson exchange potentials between them. All possible composite…
A solution of the scattering problem is obtained for the Schr\"odinger equation with the potential of induced dipole interaction, which decreases as the inverse square of the distance. Such a potential arises in the collision of an incident…
From a study of the lineshape of the $X(3872)$, the LHCb collaboration measures a sizeable negative effective range. This cannot be reconciled with a shallow $D\bar{D}^*$ bound state hypothesis. Based on Weinberg's compositeness criterion,…
We discuss the implications of a possible quasinuclear DK bound state at 2.32 GeV. Evidence for such a state was recently reported in D_s^+pi^o by the BaBar Collaboration. We first note that a conventional quark model c-sbar assignment is…
The contribution to the binding energy of a two-body system due to the crossed two-boson exchange contribution is calculated, using the Bethe-Salpeter equation. This is done for distinguishable, scalar particles interacting via the exchange…
The $X(3872)$ could be a shallow $D\bar D^*$ bound state, a compact four-quark state, or a partially composite particle, i.e. a superposition of the two. We will review how these hypotheses could be tested experimentally, examining…
