At the invariant mass spectrum of $h_c\pi^\pm$ a new resonance $Z_c(4020)$ has been observed, however the previously confirmed $Z_c(3900)$ does not show up at this channel. In this paper we assume that $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$ are…
The decay $Z_c(3900)^\pm\to\omega\pi^\pm$ is searched for using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}=4.23$ and $4.26$~GeV. No significant signal for the…
Recently Belle observed two charged bottomonium-like states, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), that are produced in the Upsilon(5S) -> Zb pi transitions and that decay to Upsilon(nS) pi (n=1,2,3) and h_b(mP) pi (m=1,2) channels. The masses of these…
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 have used QCD sum rules to study the newly observed charged state $Z_c(4025)$ as a hidden-charm $D^*\bar D^*$ molecular state with the quantum numbers $I^G(J^{P})=1^+(1^{+})$. Using a $D^*\bar D^*$ molecular interpolating current, we…
We study here the interaction of $D \bar D^*$ in the isospin $I=1$ channel in the light of recent theoretical advances that allow to combine elements of the local hidden gauge approach with heavy quark spin symmetry. We find that the…
During the last few years there has been a renaissance in charm and charmonium spectroscopy with higher precision measurements at the $\psi^{'}$ and $\psi(3770)$ coming from BESII and CLEOc and many new discoveries coming from B-factories.…
I review the recent $B$-factory measurements of new states which, in some cases, exhibit Charmonium-like properties, and in other cases suggest the existence of a new spectroscopy. Several theoretical interpretations of the new states have…
Inspired by the newly $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$ reported by the BESIII Collaboration in the $K^+$ recoil-mass spectrum of the of $e^+e^-\to (D^{*0}D_s^-/D^0D_s^{*-})K^+$ processes, we perform a dynamical study on the $D^{(*)0}D_s^{*-}$ interactions…
Several charmonium-like states above $D\bar{D}$ threshold have been discovered at the Belle and BABAR B-factories. Some of these states are produced via Initial State Radiation (e.g. Y(4260) and Y(4350)), and some are observed in B-meson…
It has been recently suggested that the charged charmoniumlike resonances $Z_c(4100)$ and $Z_c(4200)$ are two states of hadrocharmonium, related by the charm quark spin symmetry in the same way as the lowest charmonium states $\eta_c$ and…
The structure of the tetraquark candidate $Z_{c}(3900)$, which was experimentally reported in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, is studied by the s-wave meson-meson coupled-channel scattering on the lattice. The s-wave interactions among the $\pi…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported pronounced structures in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$-pairs produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. In this Letter, we argue that the data can be very well…
It is argued that the charged $Z^+_c(3885)$ resonance, treated as a `molecular' state of charmed $D$ and $D^*$ mesons, is likely to consist of two peaks unequally coupled to the $D^{*+} \bar D^0$ and $D^+ \bar D^{*0}$ channels. The peaks…
In this paper, we study the resonant state $X(6900)$. The scattering amplitudes of coupled channels, $J/\psi J/\psi$-$J/\psi \psi(2S)$-$J/\psi \psi(3770)$, are constructed with the interaction of four vector mesons described by effective…
In this work, we study the $J/\psi\pi$ and $\bar{D}^*D$ invariant mass spectra of the $Y(4260)$ decay to find out the origin of the $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(3885)$ structures. The $J/\psi \pi-\bar{D}^{*}D$ interaction is studied in a…
BaBar and Belle have recently revived the interest in charmonium spectroscopy, discovering many unexpected resonances. In this review, I'll focus mostly on the states found in B decays and double $\ccbar$. A better understanding of their…
The microscopic nature of the XYZ states remains an unsettled topic. We show how a thorough amplitude analysis of the data can help constraining models of these states. Specifically, we consider the case of the Zc(3900) peak and discuss…
Since the discovery of the X(3872) in 2003 the B-factory experiments BaBar and Belle have been driving forces in the spectroscopy of new charmonium-like states. In this article the latest results on the decays X(3872) -> D0 D*0bar and…
A recent report of $e^+ e^- \to D\bar D$ events by the BESIII Collaboration suggests the presence of a structure $R$ at 3900~MeV\@. We argue that this structure, called $G(3900)$ in the past, is not in fact due to a new $c\bar c$ resonance,…
