In recent years the B-factories and other machines have found evidence for a large number of new states with hidden charm: candidate h_c(1P), eta_c(2S), and chi_{c2}(2P) states; the well-established X(3872); enhancements called X(3940),…
The hadronic weak decays of $\Lambda_c$ are studied in the framework of a constituent quark model. With the combined analysis of the Cabbibo-favored processes, $\Lambda_c\to \Lambda\pi^+$, $\Sigma^0\pi^+$ and $\Sigma^+\pi^0$, we confirm…
The last two decades are marked by a renaissance in hadronic spectroscopy caused by the arrival of vast experimental information on exotic states in the spectrum of charmonium and bottomonium. Most of such states have properties at odds…
We study energy levels of two heteronuclear molecules moving in a spherically symmetric harmonic trap. A role of electric dipole interactions is compared and contrasted with our earlier results (https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.00631) for two…
We discuss the possibility that the two nearby resonances observed by BESIII partially below the \,$p\bar p$\, threshold might be due to mixing between two metastable states with the same $J^{PC}=0^{-+}$ quantum numbers, but rather…
We study a general problem of the translational/rotational/vibrational/electronic dynamics of a diatomic molecule exposed to an interaction with an arbitrary external electromagnetic field. The theory developed in this paper is relevant to…
A wealth of data on hadronic b -> s transitions is available from the B-factories and will be improved at the LHCb experiment and possible future super-B-factories. I review the theory of these decays as it pertains to the search for…
We study in the framework of a constituent quark model the possible contributions of molecular structures to the XYZ charmonium like states. We analyze simultaneously the $c\bar{c}$ structures and the possible molecular components in a…
We investigate the mass spectrum of the molecular pentaquarks composed of a baryon and a meson. We establish the underlying relations among the near-threshold interactions of the molecular tetraquark and pentaquark systems. We find the…
After the successes the OPE description has scored in describing $\bar B \to l \bar \nu X_c$ decays, we need to study what can be said about the composition of the hadronic final state $X_c$. The same OPE treatment yields sum rules implying…
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 extend the one pion exchange model at quark level to include the short distance contributions coming from $\eta$, $\sigma$, $\rho$ and $\omega$ exchange. This formalism is applied to discuss the possible molecular states of…
The analyses of the LHCb data on X(2900) in the D^- K^+ spectrum are performed. Both dynamically generated and explicitly introduced X_1(2900) are considered. The results show that both these two approaches support the interpretation of…
In this Letter we interpret the Y(4260), a state recently discovered by the BaBar Collaboration that has a mass within the range of conventional charmonium states, as having a molecular-state structure. In our scheme this molecular-like…
A procedure is described for the precise nonrelativistic evaluation of the dipole polarizabilities of H_2^+ and D_2^+ that avoids any approximation based on the size of the electron mass relative to the nucleus mass. The procedure is…
By analyzing existing data on pseudoscalar charmonium decays, we obtain the ratio of the branching fractions of $\eta_c(2S)$ and $\eta_c$ decays into ten different final states with light hadrons. For the first time, we test the two…
It is commonly believed that electromagnetic spectra of atoms and molecules can be fully described by interactions of electric and magnetic multipoles. However, it has recently become clear that interactions between light and matter also…
Possible $\Lambda_c\Lambda_c$ hadronic molecule is investigated in the one-pion-exchange potential model. In the study with this model, the heavier meson exchange effects are encoded into a phenomenological cutoff parameter and couplings to…
Two near-threshold peaking structures with spin-parities $J^{\mathrm{PC} }=0^{++}$ were recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in the $ D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ invariant mass distribution of the decay $ B^{+}\rightarrow…
The Standard Model (SM) predictions for the hadronic electric dipole moments (EDMs) are well far from the present experimental resolutions, thus, the EDMs represent very clean probes of New Physics (NP) effects. Especially, within an MSSM…
