The formation of hadrons is a fundamental process in nature that can be investigated at particle colliders. As several recent findings demonstrate, with $\mathrm{e^+e^-}$ collisions as a "vacuum-like" reference at one extreme, and central…
We use the QCD sum rules to evaluate the mass of a possible scalar mesonic state that couples to a molecular $D_{s}^{*}\bar{D}_s^{*}$ current. We find a mass $m_{D_s^*D_s^*}=(4.14\pm 0.09)$ GeV, which is in a excellent agreement with the…
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…
In this article, we assign the $Y(4390)$ and $Y(4220)$ to be the vector molecular states $D\bar{D}_1(2420)$ and $D^*\bar{D}_0^*(2400)$, respectively, and study their masses and pole residues with the QCD sum rules in details. The present…
The pole counting rule is a powerful and model-independent method to distinguish a confining state from a hadronic molecule. It has been applied to the explorations of $X(6900)$, $X_1(2900)$ as well as $Z_c(3900)$, $X(3872)$, $X(4660)$,…
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…
It is shown that various versions of the neutrino mixing hypothesis are in a contradiction with generally accepted facts and principles.There is also presented the possible alternative formulation of the neutrino oscillation theory and it…
We present a concise review of the vector charmonium state $\psi(4230)$, which was originally labelled as $Y(4260)$ in the literature. As one of the earliest candidates for a QCD exotic states, its interpretation has initiated various ideas…
I review possible resolution of the $J/\psi (\psi^{\prime}) \to \rho-\pi$ puzzle based on two inputs: the relative phase between the one- photon and the gluonic decay amplitudes, and a possible hadronic excess in the inclusive…
The commonly used West and Yennie model approach to the description of the interference between Coulomb and hadronic scattering of nucleons is critically examined and its deficiencies are clarified. The preference of the more general…
The two newly observed hidden-charm mesons Zc(+)[3900] and a possible partner state Zc'(+)[3950] with quantum numbers J(P) = 1(+) are considered as hadronic molecules composed of bar(D)D* and bar(D)* D*, respectively. We give predictions…
Molecular electronics on silicon has distinct advantages over its metallic counterpart. We describe a theoretical formalism for transport through semiconductor-molecule heterostructures, combining a semi-empirical treatment of the bulk…
In the last decade, much theoretical research has focused on studying the strong coupling between organic molecules (or quantum emitters, in general) and light modes. The description and prediction of polaritonic phenomena emerging in this…
The phase variation with angle of hadronic amplitudes is studied with a view to understanding the underlying physical quantities which control it and how well it can be determined in free space. We find that unitarity forces a moderately…
We perform a systematical study of possible molecular states composed of the $S$ wave heavy light mesons, where the $S-D$ mixing and {$\eta-\eta^{\prime}$ mixing} are explicitly included. Our calculation indicates that the observed…
We demonstrate that in calculation, where unitarity constraints are properly imposed, the deeply bound hadronic molecules recently proposed by Close and Downum do not exist.
We construct an effective Lagrangian which describes interactions of heavy and light hadrons utilizing the chiral flavor symmetry for light quarks and heavy quark symmetry. For both light and heavy sector we include pseudo scalars, vectors…
Motivated by the first observation of the double-charm tetraquark $T_{cc}^+(3875)$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we investigate the nature of $T_{cc}^+$ as an isoscalar $DD^*$ hadronic molecule in a meson-exchange potential model incorporated…
In this talk I briefly review the theory of resonances dynamically generated from hadron-hadron scattering, sometimes referred to as "molecules"S. I give some classical examples of meson-meson and meson-baryon systems, as well as a few…
We construct charmonium-like and bottomonium-like molecular interpolating currents with quantum numbers J(PC)=1(+-) in a systematic way, including both color singlet-singlet and color octet-octet structures. Using these interpolating…
