Recently a novel hadronic state of mass 6.9 GeV, that decays mainly to a pair of charmonia, was observed in LHCb. The data also reveals a broader structure centered around 6490 MeV and suggests another unconfirmed resonance centered at…
The COMPASS fixed-target experiment at the CERN SPS is dedicated to the study of hadron structure and dynamics. One goal of the physics programme using hadron beams is the search for new states, in particular the search for $J^{PC}$ exotic…
In the $B^+\to D^+ D^-K^+$ decay, LHCb has reported the observation of the open-charm exotic states $X_{0,1}^0\equiv X_{0,1}(2900)^0$ with four different quark flavors~$(ud\bar s \bar c)$, where the subscripts (0,1) denote the spins. To…
In this report I review some results on the charmonium and light hadron spectroscopy mainly from BESIII and Belle experiments. For the charmonium, the contents include the observation of $\psi(4040)/\psi(4160) \to \eta \jpsi$, the…
The search for multi-quark states beyond the constituent quark model (CQM) has resulted in the discovery of many new exotic states, starting with the observation of the X(3872), discovered by Belle in 2003. Also in the sector of…
The $\Xi^-_\mathrm{b} \pi^+ \pi^-$ invariant mass spectrum is investigated with an event sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016-2018 and corresponding to an integrated…
The reaction $\gamma p \to \pi^+K^-K^+n$ was studied at Jefferson Lab using a tagged photon beam with an energy range of 3-5.47 GeV. A narrow baryon state with strangeness S=+1 and mass $M=1555\pm 10$ MeV/c$^2$ was observed in the $nK^+$…
A model-independent search for new physics leading to final states containing $H\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ decays is performed with 139 fb$^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV pp collision data recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron…
The bottomonium spectrum is systematically studied within an unquenched quark model. Based on a good description of both the masses and widths for the well-established states, we further give predictions for the higher $S$-, $P$-, and…
We study the exotic muon decays with five charged tracks in the final state. First, we investigate the Standard Model rate for $\mu^+ \to 3e^+\,2e^-\,2\nu$ ($B = 4.0\times 10^{-10})$ and find that the Mu3e experiment should have tens to…
We investigate molecular states formed by bottom mesons and multistrange baryons from both octet and decuplet flavor representations, using the local hidden gauge approach combined with coupled-channel Bethe-Salpeter equations. Focusing on…
Using data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider, we measure the energy dependence of the $e^+e^- \to h_b(nP)\pi^+\pi^-$ $(n=1,2)$ cross sections from thresholds up to $11.02\,$GeV. We find clear…
Two-body charmless hadronic decays of $B$ mesons are important for determining Standard Model parameters and for detecting the presence of new physics. We present recent results from the Belle experiment on the charmless hadronic decays…
We report the first observation of two charmed strange baryons that decay into $\Lambda_c^+ K^-\pi^+$. The broader of the two states is measured to have a mass of $2978.5\pm 2.1\pm 2.0$ MeV/$c^2$ and a width of $43.5\pm 7.5\pm 7.0$…
Using $980~fb^{-1}$ of data collected on and around the $\Upsilon(nS)(n=1,2,3,4,5)$ resonances with the Belle detector at the KEKB collider, we measure the cross section of $e^{+}e^{-}\to \eta\phi$ from threshold to $3.95~{\rm GeV}/c^{2}$…
Exotic resonant structures found in $\Lambda^0_b$ and $\overline{B}^0$ decays into charmonium in the LHCb experiment are discussed. Examination of the $J/\psi p$ system in $\Lambda^0_b\to J/\psi K^- p$ decays shows two states each of which…
Many newly discovered mesons behave like $\ccbar$ charmonium states in that they preferentially decay into final states that contain a $c$- and a $\bar{c}$-quark, but do not fit expectations for any of the unfilled levels of the…
Using a sample of $771.6 \times 10^{6}$ $\Upsilon(4S)$ decays collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+e^-$ collider, we observe for the first time the transition $\Upsilon(4S) \to \eta h_b(1P)$ with the branching fraction ${\cal…
