In this presentation the notion of hadronic molecules is reviewed and it is argued that some of the enigmatic single and double heavy mesons, namely the lowest lying positive parity open charm states, the $T_{cc}(3875)^+$ and the…

The newly observed $\Sigma_b(6097)$ provides us a good chance to further construct the high excited states of the bottom baryon family. In this work, we explain the $\Sigma_b(6097)$ to be a $1P$ state with $J^P=5/2^-$ or $3/2^-$ by giving…

In this work, a study of the $D_s\bar{D}_s$ interaction and its couplings to the channels $D\bar{D}$ and $J/\psi \phi$ is performed in a quasipotential Bethe-Salpeter equation approach. The $D_s^+{D}_s^-$ and $D^+{D}^-$ invariant mass…

In ultrarelativistic nucleus-nucleus collisions, a deconfined state of strongly interacting matter is thought to be produced, commonly known as the quark--gluon plasma (QGP). Quarkonia, bound states of a heavy quark and antiquark, are an…

The $X(3872)$ resonance has been conjectured to be a $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ charm meson-antimeson two-body molecule. Meanwhile, there is no experimental evidence for larger, few-body compounds of multiple charm meson-antimeson pairs which would…

We explore the existence of $D \Xi$ and $D^* \Xi$ molecular states within the one boson exchange model. We regularize the potential derived in this model with a form factor and a cut-off of the order of $1\,{\rm GeV}$. To determine the…

Two near-threshold peaking structures with spin-parities $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ were recently discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ invariant mass distribution of the decay process $B^+\to D_s^+D_s^-K^+$. In our study, we…

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),…

There are eighteen possibly existing $D^{(*)} \bar D^{(*)}$, $D^{(*)} \bar K^{(*)}$, and $D^{(*)} D_s^{(*)-}$ hadronic molecular states. We construct their corresponding interpolating currents, and calculate their masses and decay constants…

The discovery of the X(3872) in the 3\pi J/\psi mode is compelling evidence for its molecular nature. A successful prediction of this decay mode and other predictions are reviewed here.

We have investigated the internal structure of the open- and hidden-charmed ($DD^*$/$\bar DD^*$) molecules in the unified framework. We first fit the experimental lineshape of the $T^+_{cc}$ state and extract the $DD^*$ interaction, from…

We investigate the production and absorption of $Z_b (10610)$ and $Z_b ^{\prime}(10650)$ states in a hadronic medium, via the processes $\bar{B}^{(*)} B^{(*)} \rightarrow \pi Z_b ^{(\prime)} $ and the corresponding inverses reactions. We…

A solvable coordinate-space model is employed to study the $c\bar{c}$ component of the X(3872) wave function, by coupling a confined $^3P_1$ $c\bar{c}$ state to the almost unbound $S$-wave $D^0\bar{D}^{*0}$ channel via the $^3P_0$…

In this paper, the new particle $X(3842)$ discovered by the LHCb Collaboration is identified to be the $\psi_{_3}(1^3D_{_3})$ state. We study its strong decays with the combination of the Bethe-Salpeter method and the $^3P_{_0}$ model. Its…

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 use 111+/-1 million Upsilon(3S) and 89+/-1 million Upsilon(2S) events recorded by the BaBar detector at the PEP-II B-factory at SLAC to perform a study of radiative transitions between bottomonium states using photons that have been…

Heavy-light diquarks can be the building blocks of a rich spectrum of states which can accommodate some of the newly observed charmonium-like resonances not fitting a pure c-cbar assignment. We examine this possibility for hidden and open…

We study the production line shape of $B^\ast\bar B$ near threshold, where the $B^\ast \bar B$ pair comes from the resonance $X_b$. Our study shows that the line shape depends sensitively on the binding energy and the probability of finding…

In this work, we perform a systematical investigation about the possible hidden and doubly heavy molecular states with open and hidden strangeness from interactions of $D^{(*)}{\bar{D}}^{(*)}_{s}$/$B^{(*)}{\bar{B}}^{(*)}_{s}$,…

The mass spectrum of $b\bar{b}$ states has been obtained using the phenomenological relativistic quark model (RQM). The Hamiltonian used in the investigation has confinement potential and confined one gluon exchange potential (COGEP). In…
