The one-pion exchange interaction between the kaon and the vector antikaon is investigated by solving the Schr\"odinger equation in the S-wave approximation. In addition to the particle $f_1(1285)$, another bound state of $K \bar{K}^*$ is…
We show that the currently available data are consistent with $Y(4230)$ being a $D_1 \bar{D}$ hadronic molecule. By a simultaneous fit to data from $e^+ e^- \rightarrow D^0 D^{* -} \pi^+,\: J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-,\: J/\psi K^+ K^-,\: h_c \pi^+…
There are about 33, 6.5 and 1.0 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data have been taken around the center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt s=$ 3.773 GeV, at $\sqrt s=$ 3.650 GeV and at $\sqrt s=$ 3.6648 GeV, respectively, with the BES-II detector…
We consider the nonleptonic B decays $ B \to D^{(*)} D_s(2317)$ and $ B \to D^{(*)} D_s(2460)$, involving the newly discovered $D_s(2317)$ and the $D_s(2460)$ states. We find that experiments indicate disagreement with model calculations of…
The dielectron widths of $\Upsilon(nS) (n=1,...,7)$ and vector decay constants are calculated using the Relativistic String Hamiltonian with a universal interaction. For $\Upsilon(nS) (n=1,2,3)$ the dielectron widths and their ratios are…
The masses of higher $D(nL)$ and $D_s(nL)$ excitations are shown to decrease due to the string contribution, originating from the rotation of the QCD string itself: it lowers the masses by 45 MeV for $L=2 (n=1)$ and by 65 MeV for $L=3…
We conduct a theoretical study of the $ D_{s1}(2460) \to D_s \pi^+ \pi^- $ decay from the perspective that the $D_{s1}$ is a molecular state, built mostly from the $D^* K$ and $D_s^* \eta$ components. The $D^*$ and $D_s^*$ mesons are…
We study the three $D_s$ quantum channels $J^P = 0^+$, $1^+$ and $2^+$ where experiments have identified the charm-strange states $D^*_{s0} (2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$, $D_{s1}(2536)$ near the $DK$ and $D^*K$ thresholds, and $D^*_{s2}(2573)$.…
We comment on the recent observation of the decay mode D(sJ)(*)(2860)-->D(*)K by the BABAR Collaboration [arXiv:0908.0806], and contest their peremptory conclusion that the data exclude a 0(+) assignment for the D(sJ)(*)(2860). In…
We analyzed the decays of $B^{+}\to {\bar {D}^0}+D^{+}_{sJ}(2S)$ and $B^{+}\to\bar D^{0}+D^{+}_{sJ}(1D)$ by naive factorization method and model dependent calculation based on the Bethe-Salpeter method, the branching ratios are $Br({\bar…
Since its first detection, the interesting properties of the $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ have made it to be one of the most prominent tetraquark-like states up to date. In this work we present a joint analysis of the $T_{cc}^+$ and its…
We present $I=1/2$ $D^\ast\pi$ scattering amplitudes from lattice QCD and determine two low-lying $J^P=1^+$ axial-vector $D_1$ states and a $J^P=2^+$ tensor $D_2^\ast$. Computing finite-volume spectra at a light-quark mass corresponding to…
The Belle Collaboration recently discovered the first manifestly exotic meson: Z^+(4430), which decays into psi' pi^+ and therefore has quark content c c-bar u d-bar. The proximity of its mass to the D_1 D-bar^* threshold has motivated the…
Recent experiments at the LHCb detector have once again raised the possibility that quark bags may exist containing more than three quarks. Specifically the LHCb collaboration points to evidence for hadronic resonances decaying into…
The decay width and the mass of the D_s1(2536) have been measured via the decay channel D_s1 -> D*+K_S using 232 fb^-1 of data collected with the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy e+e- storage ring. The result for the decay…
The mass spectrum of the charmed mesons is investigated by considering the coupled channel effects within the nonrelativistic potential model. The predicted masses of the charmed mesons are in agreement with experimental data. The strong…
The reaction $e^+ e^- \to (D_s^{*+} D_s^- + {\rm c.c.})$ has been used with great success at the CLEO-c detector, and will be a source of valuable future data from the BES-III detector, to obtain information about the properties and decays…
We study the $B_c^- \to \pi^- J/\psi \omega$ and $B_c^- \to \pi^- D^* \bar{D}^*$ reactions and show that they are related by the presence of two resonances, the $X(3940)$ and $X(3930)$, that are of molecular nature and couple most strongly…
The recently-discovered narrow charmonium resonance near 3870 MeV is interpreted as a hadronic molecule whose constituents are the charm mesons D^0 and \bar D^{*0} or \bar D^0 and D^{*0}. Because of an accidental fine-tuning of the molecule…
We study $D_s^+ D_s^-$ and $D \bar D$ states assuming that they are hadronic molecules with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ quantum number. We use two-point QCD sum rule formalism and extract the mass and decay constant values of these states. We take into…
