The scalar resonances $X(3915), X(3960), X(4140)$ are considered as exotic four-quark states: $cq\bar c \bar q, cs\bar c \bar s, cs\bar c\bar s$, while the $X(3863)$ is proved to be the $c\bar c, 2\,^3P_0$ state. The masses and the widths…
These are the mini-proceedings of the CHARMEX workshop. The meeting focused on recent developments in charm spectroscopy, especially on the possible role of the states that do not fit into the quark model classification, the so-called…
We evaluate theoretically the interaction of the open bottom and strange systems $\bar B\bar K$, $\bar B^* \bar K$, $\bar B\bar K^*$ and $\bar B^*\bar K^*$ to look for possible bound states which could correspond to exotic…
Motivated by the experimental findings of some new exotic states decaying into channels like $J/\psi \phi$, we investigate the formation of resonances/bound states in the $D^*_s\bar D^*_s$ system using QCD sum rules. To do this we start…
We predict several new exotic doubly-heavy hadronic resonances, inferring from the observed exotic bottomonium-like and charmonium-like narrow states $X(3872)$, $Z_b(10610)$, $Z_b(10650)$, $Z_c(3900)$, and $Z_c(4020/4025)$. We interpret the…
We present a new dynamical picture that identifies the formation of the exotic $\bar c c$-containing states $XY \! Z$ with the confinement-induced hadronization of a rapidly separating pair of a compact diquark and antidiquark. This picture…
In an attempt to understand the density-density response of the cuprate superconductors, we study plasmons in a layered strange metal using the Gubser-Rocha model. The latter is a well-known bottom-up holographic model for a strange metal…
Models based on chiral symmetry predict pentaquarks that have relatively low masses. We briefly review both theoretical and experimental status of exotica in the light sector. Next, shall show how to extend chiral models to baryons with one…
We discuss recent theoretical developments in the context of charmed exotics with special emphasis on hadronic molecules. Especially we discuss, how these could be identified from experimental as well as lattice QCD observables.
The $\sigma$ resonance was observed as a conspicuous $\pi^+\pi^-$ peak in hadronic decays like $J/\psi\to \pi^+\pi^-\omega$ or $D^+\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+$. The phase of the $\sigma\to\pi^+\pi^-$ amplitude, extracted from production data within…
The nature of the bottomonium-like states $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ is studied by calculating the $B^{(*)}\overline B^{*}$ compositeness ($X$) in those resonances. We first consider uncoupled isovector $S$-wave scattering of…
We discuss and briefly overview recent progress with studying fluctuations in scattering on a resonance state coupled to the background of many chaotic states. Such a problem arises naturally, e.g., when dealing with wave propagation in the…
Excited hadrons are seen as resonances in the scattering of lighter stable hadrons like $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$. Many decay into multiple final states necessitating coupled-channel analyses. Recently it has become possible to obtain…
The research presented here uses QCD sum rules (QSR) to study exotic hadrons. There are several themes in this work. First is the use of QSR to predict the masses of exotic hadrons that may exist among the heavy quarkonium-like states. The…
In this article we investigate no-resonance conditions for quantum many body chaotic systems and random matrix models. No-resonance conditions are properties of the spectrum of a model, usually employed as a theoretical tool in the analysis…
For last two decades different quark models have predicted diverse, sometimes contradictory collections of resonant states. To choose the best among them, the obtained sets had to be compared to available experimental values. In the absence…
Recent progress in lattice calculations of properties of open-charm mesons, both regular and exotic, is reviewed, with an emphasis on spectroscopy. After reviewing recent calculations of excited state energy levels I will discuss progress…
Aims: ARCiS, a novel code for the analysis of exoplanet transmission and emission spectra is presented. The aim of the modelling framework is to provide a tool able to link observations to physical models of exoplanet atmospheres. Methods:…
Excitons with a radius of a few lattice constants can be affected by strong central-cell corrections, leading to significant deviations of the optical spectrum from the hydrogen-like Rydberg series, and also to an enhancement of the exciton…
A phenomenological model with itinerant bands and local states trapped by the lattice on the Cu-sites, is discussed to describe global features of cuprates. Relative energy positions of localized and itinerant states being tuned…
