We treat the $Y(4260)$ resonance as a four-quark state in the framework of the covariant confining quark model. We study two choices of the interpolating current, either the molecular-type current which effectively corresponds to the…
We calculate the energy spectrum of the S-wave doubly heavy tetraquark systems, including the $ QQ^{(\prime)}\bar q\bar q$, $QQ^{(\prime)}\bar s\bar q$, and $ QQ^{(\prime)}\bar s\bar s$ ($Q^{(\prime)}=b,c$ and $q=u,d$) systems within the…
Fully-heavy tetraquark states, i.e. $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$, $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$, $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}$ ($cc\bar{b}\bar{b}$), $cb\bar{c}\bar{c}$, $cb\bar{b}\bar{b}$, and $cb\bar{c}\bar{b}$, are systematically investigated by means of a…
In this article, we construct the axialvector-diquark-scalar-diquark-antiquark type and the axialvector-diquark-axialvector-diquark-antiquark type interpolating currents, and study the $J^P={\frac{3}{2}}^\pm$ hidden-charm pentaquark states…
In this work, we construct the color $\bar{\mathbf{3}}\bar{\mathbf{3}}\bar{\mathbf{3}}$ type local five-quark currents with the light quarks $qss$ in the flavor octet, and study the $qssc\bar{c}$ pentaquark states via the QCD sum rules in a…
We investigate the chiral structure of local vector and axial-vector tetraquark currents, and study their chiral transformation properties. We consider the charge-conjugation parity and classify all the isovector vector and axial-vector…
We study the decay mode of the $a_1(1260)$ into a $\pi^+$ in p-wave and the $f_0(980)$ that decays into $\pi^+ \pi^-$ in s-wave. The mechanisms proceeds via a triangular mechanism where the $a_1(1260)$ decays into $K^* \bar K$, the $K^*$…
In a nonrelativistic potential quark model framework, we carry out a precise calculation of the mass spectrum of the all-heavy tetraquarks with different flavors, $bb\bar{b}\bar{c}$, $cc\bar{c}\bar{b}$, $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}$, and…
Considering four-point correlation functions of color-singlet quark bilinears, we investigate, in the large-$N_{\mathrm{c}}$ limit of QCD, the subleading diagrams that involve, in the $s$-channel of meson-meson scattering amplitudes,…
We investigate the $1^{-+}$ hidden-charm and hidden-bottom tetraquark states within the framework of QCD sum rules. The mass spectra are computed by including condensates up to dimension eight in the operator product expansion. Our results…
We identify essential differences between the pentaquark and chiral soliton models of \10bar$_5$ and {\bf 8}$_5$ pentaquarks and conventional {\bf 8}$_3$ states, which are experimentally measurable. We show how the decays of $\Xi_5$ states…
When studying tetraquark states using the method of QCD sum rules, we find some tetraquark currents, such as $\bar u_L \gamma_\mu d_L~\bar d_L \gamma^\mu u_L$ and $\bar u_L \gamma_\mu d_L~\bar d_R \gamma^\mu u_R$, etc. We calculate their…
Motivated by the recently reported resonant structure $X(2300)$, a strong candidate for a fully strange tetraquark with positive parity, we perform a systematic study of fully strange tetra- and penta-quark systems within a chiral quark…
We consider the ${\bar D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ states, together with $J/\psi N$ and other coupled channels, and take an interaction consistent with heavy quark spin symmetry, with the dynamical input obtained from an extension of the local…
$\Lambda(1405)$ is one of the interesting particles with its unclear structure and distinct properties. It has a light mass compared to its non-strange counterpart, despite the strange quark it carries. This situation puts the investigation…
The pentaquark state of $\Theta^{+}(uudd\bar{s})$ has been observed to decay with two decay modes: $\Theta^+\to n K^+$ and $\Theta^+ \to p K^0$. The decay probability ratio of the two decay modes is studied with general symmetry…
In this article, we construct the color-singlet-color-singlet type currents and the color-singlet-color-singlet-color-singlet type currents to study the scalar $D^*\bar{D}^*$, $D^*D^*$ tetraquark molecular states and the vector…
We study the dynamical generation of resonances in isospin singlet channels with mixing between two- and four-quark states. To this end we generalise a Bethe-Salpeter approach to four-quark states employed previously \cite{Heupel:2012ua} to…

We have studied the strong decay properties of the recently observed $T^a_{c\bar s0}(2900)^{++/0}$ by considering it as a $cu\bar{d}\bar{s}/cd\bar{u}\bar{s}$ fully open-flavor tetraquark state with $I(J^P)=1(0^+)$. In the framework of QCD…
