We investigate the decay cascade of the Upsilon(nS) meson including the newly found Chi_b(3P) state in pp and PbPb collisions at LHC energies. The main goal is to quantitatively determine the additional suppression of the Upsilon(nS) states…

The BaBar analysis which favours $2^{-+}$ quantum numbers for the X(3872) implies that it may be none other than the 1D2 charmonia state. In that case the isospin breaking in closed flavour modes may be the result of re-scattering from open…

We examine possible J^PC quantum number assignments for the X(3872). Angular correlations between final state particles in X(3872) --> pi+pi- J/psi decays are used to rule out J^PC values of 0++ and 0-+. The shape of the pi+pi- mass…

The bottom-charmed ($B_c$) mesons are more stable than their charmonium ($c\bar c$) and bottomium ($b\bar b$) partners because they cannot annihilate into gluons. However, the low production cross-sections and signal-to-background ratios…

Last year's X(3872) discovery was confirmed with the CDF II detector in pbarp collisions. We measure its mass to be $3871.3 \pm 0.7 \pm 0.4 MeV/c2$. The source of X-mesons in the large CDF sample is resolved by studying their vertex…

We calculate the total cross section and transverse momentum distributions for the production of enigmatic $\chi_{c,1}(3872)$ (or X(3872)) assuming different scenarios: $c \bar c$ state and $D^{0*} {\bar D}^0 + D^0 {\bar D}^{0*}$ molecule.…

The exotic states $X(3872)$ and $Z_c(3900)$ have long been conjectured as isoscalar and isovector $\bar{D}^*D$ molecules. In this work, we first propose the triangle diagram mechanism to investigate their productions in $B$ decays as well…

We study prompt hadroproduction of the charged bottomonium-like states $Z_b^\pm (10610)$ and $Z_b^\pm (10650)$, and the charged charmonium-like states $Z_c^\pm (3900)$ and $Z_c^\pm (4020)$, at the Tevatron and the LHC, provided that these…

We report on some ideas concerning the nature of the X(3872) resonance and the need for approximately equal charged and neutral components of $D \bar{D}^* +cc$. Then we discuss how some hidden charm states are obtained from the interaction…

A near-threshold enhancement in the $D_s^+ D_s^-$ system, dubbed as $X(3960)$, is observed by the LHCb collaboration recently. A combined analysis on $\chi_{c0}(3930)~(\to D^+ D^-)$, $X(3960)~(\to D_s^+ D_s^-)$, and $X(3915)~(\to…

We present a quark model calculation of the charmonium spectrum with self energy corrections due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. The bare masses used in the calculation are computed within the relativized quark model by…

The ATLAS Collaboration has recently announced the discovery of the 3P states of the Upsilon system, chi_b(3P), with mass of 10.539+-0.004(stat.)+-0.008(syst.) GeV. In a previous investigation of the Upsilon system, in the context of a…

In this paper, we study radiative decays of X_b, the counterpart of the famous X(3872) in the bottomonium-sector as a candidate for meson-meson molecule, into the \gamma \Upsilon(nS) (n=1, 2, 3). Since it is likely that the X_b is below the…

Partial wave analysis is performed, with effective potentials as dynamical inputs, to scrutinize the recent LHCb data on the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum. Coupled-channel effects are incorporated in the production amplitude via final…

We report recent results on the properties of the X(3872) produced via the B+ -> K+ X(3872) decay process in the Belle detector. We present constraints on possible charmonium-state assignments for this particles.

The observation of many unexpected states decaying into heavy quarkonia has challenged the usual Q-Qbar interpretation. We will discuss the nature of some of the charmonium-like resonances recently observed by BES III and LHCb, and their…

It is proposed that the newly discovered X(3872) is a $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ $D^0\bar D^{0*}$ hadronic resonance stabilized by admixtures of $\omega J/\psi$ and $\rho J/\psi$. A specific model of the state is constructed and tests of its…

Charmonium spectroscopy gained renewed interest after the discovery in 2003 of the unpredicted X(3872) charmonium-like state, above the $D\overline{D}$ threshold. To date many charmonium-like states above the $D\overline{D}$ threshold have…

We report recent results on the properties of the X(3872) produced via the B-->KX(3872) decay process in the Belle detector. We compare these properties with expectations for possible charmonium-state assignments.

In this work, we preform a systematic investigation about hidden heavy and doubly heavy molecular states from the $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}/B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ and $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}/\bar{B}^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ interactions in the quasipotential…
