Within the chiral unitary approach and with the constraints of heavy quark spin symmetry, we study the coupled channel interactions of ${\bar D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ channels, close to whose thresholds three pentaquark-like $P_c$ states…

We adopt the effective Lagrangian approach to study the strong decays of the $1^-(0^{++})$ $D^\ast\bar{D}^\ast$ molecular state [denoted as $T_{\psi0}^a(4010)$ according to the LHCb naming convention] through triangle diagrams. The decay…

We examine the four-quark structure of the recently discovered charged $Z_c(3900)$, $Z(4430)$, and $X_b(5568)$ states. We calculate the widths of the strong decays $Z_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$ ($\eta_c\rho^+$, $\bar D^0D^{\ast\,+}$, $\bar…

The nonleptonic decay $\Xi^0_c \to \Lambda^+_c \pi^-$ with $\Delta C=0$ is systematically studied in the framework of the covariant confined quark model with accounting for both short and long distance effects. The short distance effects…

We study the $Z^\pm(4430)$ meson within a heavy hadron molecule interpretation where the $Z$ is considered as a bound state of a vector $D^\ast(2010)$ and an axial-vector $D_1(2420)$. We give predictions for the strong hidden-charm…

Within the framework of the local hidden gauge formalism, we have reanalyzed the hidden-charm vector-vector meson $D^*\bar{D}^*$, $K^*\bar{K}^*$, and $\rho\rho$ interactions with the quantum numbers $I(J^P)=1(1^+)$. The estimation indicates…

Transition decay widths by one-pion emissions for excited heavy-baryons with a single heavy (charm and bottom) quark are investigated by following the heavy-quark symmetry and its breaking effects at ${\cal O}(1/M)$ for a heavy-baryon mass…

Many vector charmonium-like states have been reported recently in the cross sections of $e^+e^- \rightarrow \omega\chi_{c0}$, $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}h_c$, $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}J/\psi$, $\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\psi(3686)$ and $\pi^{+}D^{0}D^{*-}+c.c.$ To better…

We identify the recently observed charmonium-like structure $Z_c^\pm(3900)$ as the charged partner of the X(3872) state. Using standard techniques of QCD sum rules, we evaluate the three-point function and extract the coupling constants of…

Based on the updated data of charmoniumlike state $Y(4220)$ reported in the hidden-charm %and open-charm channels of the $e^+e^-$ annihilation, we propose a $4S$-$3D$ mixing scheme to categorize $Y(4220)$ into the $J/\psi$ family. We find…

In this work, we estimate the mass spectra and decay properties of charmonium ($c \bar c$) using a non-relativistic potential model. We employ a potential model incorporating a Coulomb like term, representing one gluon exchange at short…

The LHCb Collaboration announced the observation of three narrow structures consistent with hidden-charm pentaquark states. They are candidates of hadronic molecules formed of a pair of a charmed baryon and an anticharmed meson. Among them,…

We determine the radiative decay amplitudes for decay into $D^*$ and $\bar{D} \gamma$, or $D^*_s$ and $\bar{D}_s \gamma$ of some of the charmonium like states classified as X,Y,Z resonances, plus some other hidden charm states which are…

In this paper, we try to reveal the structure of the $Y(4660)$ from the light-quark perspective. We study the dipion invariant mass spectrum and the helicity angular distributions of the $e^+ e^- \to Y(4660) \to \psi(2S) \pi^+\pi^-$…

We propose a model for $D^+ \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+$ decays following experimental results which indicate that the two-pion interaction in the $S$-wave is dominated by the scalar resonances $f_0(600)/\sigma$ and $f_0(980)$. The weak decay…

$P_c(4457)$ has been discovered over five years, but the parity of this particle remains undetermined. In this letter we propose a new interpretation for $P_c(4457)$, which is the state generated from the coupled-channel…

From a picture of the X(3872) where the resonance is a bound state of $\bar{D}D^*-c.c.$, we evaluate the decay width into the $J/\psi \gamma$ channel, which is sensitive to the internal structure of this state. For this purpose we evaluate…
