Charmonium is a bound state of a charmed quark and a charmed antiquark, and a charmoniumlike state is a resonant structure that contains a charmed quark and antiquark pair but has properties that are incompatible with a conventional…
QCD Laplace sum rules are used to calculate heavy quarkonium (charmonium and bottomonium) hybrid masses in several distinct $J^{PC}$ channels. Previous studies of heavy quarkonium hybrids did not include the effects of dimension-six…

In this paper we study $I = 0$ bottomonium in $S$, $P$, $D$ and $F$ waves considering five coupled channels, one confined quarkonium and four open $B^{(*)} \bar B^{(*)}$ and $B_s^{(*)} \bar B_s^{(*)}$ meson-meson channels. To this end we…
Stimulated by the new evidence of Y(4274) observed in the $J/\psi\phi$ invariant mass spectrum, we first propose the charmonium-like state Y(4274) as the S-wave $D_s\bar{D}_{s0}(2317)+h.c.$ molecular state with $J^P=0^-$, which is supported…
We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the $q c \bar q \bar c$ tetraquark states with the exotic quantum number $J^{PC} = 3^{-+}$, and extract the mass of the lowest-lying state to be ${4.49^{+0.45}_{-0.41}}$ GeV. To construct the…
The positive parity $\chi_{cJ}(2P)$ charmonium states are expected to lie around the 3.9 GeV/$c^2$ energy region, according to the predictions of quark models. However, a plethora of states with difficult assignment and unconventional…
We systematically study the 1D charmonium spin-triplet (with the $J^{PC}=1^{--}, 2^{--}, 3^{--}$) and spin-singlet (with the $J^{PC}=2^{-+}$) via the QCD sum rules in comparison with the recent experimental results. The predicted mass…
After constructing all the tetraquark interpolating currents with $J^{PC}=1^{-+}, 1^{--}, 1^{++}$ and $1^{+-}$ in a systematic way, we investigate the two-point correlation functions to extract the masses of the charmonium-like states with…
