We argue that relatively compact charmonium states, $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\chi_c$, can very likely be bound inside light hadronic matter, in particular inside higher resonances made from light quarks and/or gluons. The charmonium state in…
Electromagnetic polarizabilities describe the response of a system to the application of an external quasi-static electric or magnetic field. In this article experimental and theoretical work addressing the polarizabilities of the light…
We present that including the hadron loop effects could help us to understand the spectrum of the heavier charmonium-like states and their decays simultaneously. The observed states could be represented by the poles on the complex energy…
This is a cursory review of diffractive studies ( mostly elastic scattering)at the LHC with physical interpretation of the experimental data and comments to related problems of theory.
We suggest that the newly observed resonance Y(4260) is a $\chi_{c}-\rho^0$ molecule, which is an isovector. In this picture, we can easily interpret why $Y(4260)\to \pi^+\pi^-J/\psi$ has a larger rate than $Y(4260)\to D\bar D$ which has…
Recent observations of exotic hadrons have stimulated the theoretical investigation of the internal structure of hadrons. While all hadrons are ultimately composed of quarks and gluons bound by the strong interaction, quark clustering…
In the past decade, more and more charmoniumlike and bottomoniumlike states have been reported in experiments, which have led us to extensive discussions on the underlying structure of these states. In this review paper, we briefly…
I review some recent results on hadronic decays of charmed mesons. These decays illuminate a wide range of physics, including the absolute normalizations of b and c decays, the understanding of D^0 mixing, the coupling of heavy mesons to…
In the past decade, due to the experimental observation of many charmonium-like states, there has been a revival of hadron spectroscopy. In particular, the experimental observation of charged charmonium-like, $Z_c$ states, and…
Previous work done in collaboration with David Brink is reviewed in the light of the recent observation of new charmonium-like resonances which can be interpreted as tetraquarks. In the framework of a schematic quark model the spectrum of…
Motivated by the persisting 'anomaly' in the measurement of $P_5^\prime$, we review hadronic uncertainties entering the angular observables of the decay $\bar B\to {\bar K}^*\mu^+\mu^-$. We argue that hadronic uncertainties could account…
Hadron Molecules are particles made out of hadrons that are held together by self interactions. In this report we discuss seven such molecules and their self interactions. The $f_0(980)$, $a_0(980)$, $f_1(1400)$, $\Delta N(2150)$ and…
Experimental results on hadronic soft and hard diffractive processes are reviewed with emphasis on aspects of the data that point to the underlying QCD mechanism for diffraction. Diffractive differential cross sections are shown to be…
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 correct a mistake in the analytical expression given in Nucl. Phys. {\bf A} 815, 53 (2009) [arXiv:0804.4817] for the $D_{s0}\bar{D}_s^*$ and $D_{0}\bar{D}^*$ molecular currents. As a consequence, the mass obtained for the…
I present highlights from the parallel sessions on the theory of hadronic observables in e^+ e^-, hadronic and nuclear reactions.
We investigate the absorption and production processes of this new state in a hadronic medium, considering the reactions $T_{cc}^+ \pi, T_{cc}^+ \rho \rightarrow D^{(*)} D^{(*)} $ and the corresponding inverse reactions. We use effective…
The isotriplet Sigmac(2800) baryon with possible quantum numbers J(P) = 1/2(+), 1/2(-) or 3/2(+), 3/2(-) is considered as a hadronic molecule composed of a nucleon and a D meson. We determine the strong two-body decay widths Sigmac to…
Experimental results on hadronic structures are discussed in view of our physics understanding. Achievements and challenges are noted.
With a quark level interaction, we give a unified description of the loosely bound molecular systems composed of the heavy flavor hadrons $(\bar{D},\bar{D}^*)$, $(\Lambda_c, \Sigma_c, \Sigma_c^*)$, and $(\Xi_c, \Xi_c^\prime,\Xi_c^*)$. Using…
