We explore the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties, and profile the 1:3D2, 1:3D3 and 2:1P1 charmonium candidates for X(3872). The favored candidates, the 1:3D2 and 1:3D3 levels, both have prominent radiative decays.…
The lattice QCD simulations of charmonia and exotic charmonium-like states are reviewed. I report on the first exploratory simulation of charmonium resonances above open charm threshold which takes into account the strong decay. The puzzles…
We report on our lattice QCD study of coupled $DD_s^* - D^*D_s$ scattering in the $J^P=1^+$ channel and elastic $DD_s$ scattering in the $J^P=0^+$ channel, aimed at investigating the possible existence of $cc\bar{u}\bar{s}$ tetraquarks near…
Analyses of the J/{\psi} {\pi}+ {\pi}- decay channel of the X(3872) resonance by the CDF, Belle, and LHCb collaborations have established its J^{PC} quantum numbers as 1^{++}. An analysis of the \pi+ \pi- \pi 0 invariant mass distribution…
We present preliminary simulation results for the I = 0 charmonium state $X(3872)(1^{++})$ and the I = 1 charmonium state $Z_c^+(3900)(1^{+-})$. The study is performed on gauge field configurations with 2+1+1 flavors of highly improved…
We propose that the $X(3915)$ observed in the $J/\psi\,\omega$ channel is the same state as the $\chi_{c2}(3930)$, and the $X(3960)$, observed in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ channel, is an $S$-wave $D_s^+ D_s^-$ hadronic molecule. In addition, the…
Stimulated by the observation of the newly $X(3960)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration, we adopt the one-boson-exchange model and consider the $S-D$ wave mixing effects to study the $D_s\bar{D}_s/D^*\bar{D}^*/D_s^*\bar{D}_s^*$ interactions…
The structure of the tetraquark candidate $Z_{c}(3900)$, which was experimentally reported in $e^+ e^-$ collisions, is studied by the s-wave meson-meson coupled-channel scattering on the lattice. The s-wave interactions among the $\pi…
We perform a lattice study of charmonium-like mesons with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ and three quark contents $\bar cc \bar du$, $\bar cc(\bar uu+\bar dd)$ and $\bar cc \bar ss$, where the later two can mix with $\bar cc$. This simulation with $N_f=2$…
The nature of resonances and excited states near decay thresholds is encoded in scattering amplitudes, which can be extracted from single-particle and multiparticle correlators in finite volumes. Lattice calculations have only recently…
We discuss a recent lattice study of charmonium-like mesons with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ and three quark contents $\bar cc\bar du$, $\bar cc(\bar uu + \bar dd)$ and $\bar cc\bar ss$, where the latter two can mix with $\bar cc$. In this quantum…
In this exploratory lattice study, low-energy near threshold scattering of the $(\bar{D}_1 D^{*})^\pm$ meson system is analyzed using lattice QCD with $N_f=2$ twisted mass fermion configurations. Both s-wave ($J^P=0^-$) and p-wave…
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…
In this exploratory study, near-threshold scattering of $D$ and $\bar{D}^*$ meson is investigated using lattice QCD with $N_f=2+1+1$ twisted mass fermion configurations. The calculation is performed within the coupled-channel L\"uscher's…
Charmonium is an attractive system for the application of lattice QCD methods. While the sub-threshold spectrum has been considered in some detail in previous works, it is only very recently that excited and higher-spin states and further…

We present a progress report on our study of the charmonium spectrum in full QCD on anisotropic lattices generated by the Hadron Spectrum Collaboration. We adopt a large basis of interpolating operators to extract the excited charmonium…
To illustrate the campaign to extend our knowledge of the charmonium spectrum, I focus on a puzzling new state, $X(3872) \to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$. Studying the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties leads us to propose a…
We study the properties of charmonium states at finite temperature in quenched QCD on large and fine isotropic lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of charmonium correlation and spectral functions both below and above $T_c$. Our…
An interesting controversy has emerged challenging the widely accepted nature of the $X(3915)$ and the $X(3930)$ resonances, which had initially been assigned to the $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ and $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ $c\bar c$ states, respectively. To…
