We discuss the implications of a possible quasinuclear DK bound state at 2.32 GeV. Evidence for such a state was recently reported in D_s^+pi^o by the BaBar Collaboration. We first note that a conventional quark model c-sbar assignment is…
A candidate for the charmonium(like) state X(3872) is found 11 +/- 7 MeV below the DD* threshold using dynamical Nf=2 lattice simulation with J^PC=1^++ and I=0. This is the first lattice simulation that establishes a candidate for X(3872)…

The positive parity scalar D$_{s0}^*$(2317) and axial-vector D$_{s1}^*$(2460) charmed strange mesons are generated by coupled-channel dynamics through the s-wave scattering of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar and vector D(D$_s$)-meson…

The $S$-wave $DD^*$ scattering in the isospin $I=0,1$ channels is studied in $N_f=2$ lattice QCD at $m_\pi\approx 350$ MeV. It is observed that the $DD^*$ interaction is repulsive in the $I=1$ channel when the $DD^*$ energy is near the…
Isospin-1/2 $D\pi$ scattering amplitudes are computed using lattice QCD, working in a single volume of approximately $(3.6\; \mathrm{fm})^3$ and with a light quark mass corresponding to $m_\pi\approx239$ MeV. The spectrum of the elastic…
