We study the possibility that four $\Xi$ resonances $(\Xi(1620)$, $\Xi(1690)$, $\Xi(1820)$, $\Xi(1950))$ could correspond to pentaquark states, in the form of meson-baryon bound systems. We also explore the possible existence of doubly…
In this article, we study the axial-vector mesons $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ with the $C\gamma_\mu-C\gamma_5$ type and $C\gamma_\mu-C\gamma_\nu$ type interpolating currents respectively by carrying out the operator product expansion to…
For very heavy quarks $Q$, relations derived from heavy-quark symmetry predict the existence of novel narrow doubly heavy tetraquark states of the form $Q_iQ_j \bar q_k \bar q_l$ (subscripts label flavors), where $q$ designates a light…
In this work, we investigate the possibility of interpreting two nucleon resonances, the $N(1875)$ and the $N(2100)$, as hadronic molecular states from the $\Sigma^*K$ and $\Sigma K^*$ interactions, respectively. With the help of effective…
We present a very general argument that the analogue of a heavy pentaquark (a state with the quantum numbers of a baryon combined with an additional light quark and a heavy antiquark) must exist as a particle stable under strong…
It is suggested that the narrow meson state seen in the the SELEX experiment is a $(c\bar{s} s\bar{s})$ tetraquark state. Characteristics of other possible tetraquarks formed out of $c$ and $s$ quarks and antiquarks are considered.
In the framework of the quark delocalization color screening model, we investigate tetraquarks composed of $us\bar{d}\bar{b}$ and $ud\bar{s}\bar{b}$ in two structures: meson-meson structure and diquark-antidiquark structure. Neither bound…
The recent reported charmed-strange resonance at 2.32 GeV/c suggests a possible multiquark state. Three types of multiquark bound states are reviewed. A previous model-independent variational approach considers a tetraquark with two heavy…
We investigate the nature of the recently observed narrow resonance $Z_{c}(3900)$, which is assumed to be a $D^{*}\bar{D}$ molecular state with quantum numbers $I^{G}J^{P}=1^{+}1^{+}$. Using QCD sum rules, we consider contributions up to…
We evaluate theoretically the interaction of the open bottom and strange systems $\bar B\bar K$, $\bar B^* \bar K$, $\bar B\bar K^*$ and $\bar B^*\bar K^*$ to look for possible bound states which could correspond to exotic…
Stimulated by the exciting progress in experiments, we carry out a combined analysis of the masses, and strong and radiative decay properties of the $B$ and $B_s$-meson states up to the second orbital excitations. Based on our good…
A $D$-like meson resonance with mass around 2.9 GeV has been found in the $DK\bar K$ system using two independent and different model calculations based on: (1) QCD sum rules and (2) solution of Fadeev equations with input interactions…
In this work, the $\Omega_c$-like molecular states are systematically investigated in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The relevant interactions $\Xi_c^{(*,')}\bar{K}^{(*)}$, $\Xi^{(*)}D^{(*)}$, and…
Narrow high-mass states can arise despite large phase space when two nearly degenerate states are coupled to the same dominant decay mode. Mixing via a final-state interaction loop diagram can produce one very broad state and one narrow…
A systematic investigation of $S$-wave triply heavy tetraquark systems with quark content $\bar{b}c\bar{q}c$ and $\bar{c}b\bar{q}b$ $(q = u,\,d,\,s)$, spin-parity quantum numbers $J^P=0^+$, $1^+$, $2^+$ and isospin $I=0,\,\frac{1}{2}$, is…
This talk reviews the last applications of the covariant quark model for studying the properties of the multiquark states: B_s-meson (quark-antiquark state), light baryons (three-quark states) and tetraquark (four-quark state). The form…
Inspired by $\Xi_{cc}$ reported by LHCb Collaboration and $X(5568)$ reported by $D0$ Collaboration, the $QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}$ ($Q=c,b,s$, $q=u,d$) tetraquark states, are studied in the present work. With the help of gaussian expansion method,…
In this work, we preform a systematic investigation about hidden heavy and doubly heavy molecular states from the $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}/B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ and $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}/\bar{B}^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ interactions in the quasipotential…
It is demonstrated that the candidate tetraquark states $Z_b(10610)$, $Z_b(10650)$, $Z_c(3900)$, and $Z_c(4025)$ are coupled channel cusp effects. The model explains in a natural way the masses and quantum numbers of the putative states and…
We analyse exotic tetraquark mesons - bound states formed by two quarks and two antiquarks - for the specific case of four different quark flavours within the framework of a well-defined limit of quantum chromodynamics characterized by the…
