We report four $\Sigma$'s and three $\Lambda$'s, in the 1500 - 1800 MeV region, as two meson - one baryon S-wave $(1/2)^+$ resonances. We solve Faddeev equations in the coupled channel approach. The invariant mass of one of the meson-baryon…
In this paper we present the main results of our investigation of the $cq \bar{q} \bar{q}$ single-charm scalar tetraquarks and their SU(3)$_\mathrm{F}$ representations: $\bar{15}_S$, $\bar{3}_S$, $6_A$ and $\bar{3}_A$. We use the…
We investigate the $T_{cc}$ tetraquark, treating it as a bound state of a heavy diquark and a light antidiquark. Using the Silvestre-Brac potential and solving the Schr\"odinger equation via the Gaussian Expansion Method, we find that the…
Within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism for instantaneous interactions, we describe, along a totally analytic route, the lightest pseudoscalar mesons by quark-antiquark bound states which show at least three indispensable general features,…
We present the first full-fledged study of the flavor-exotic isoscalar $T_{bb}^-\equiv b b \bar u \bar d$ tetraquark with spin and parity $J^P=1^+$. We report accurate solutions of the four-body problem in a quark model, characterizing the…
The relativistic four-quark equations are found in the framework of coupled-channel formalism. The dynamical mixing of the meson-meson states with the four-quark states is considered. The approximate solutions of these equations using the…
We consider a system composed of two identical light quarks ($qq$) and two identical antiquarks ($\bar Q\bar Q$) that can be linked either as two mesons or as a tetraquark, incorporating quantum correlations between identical particles and…
We investigate the potential to measure the electro-weak couplings of scalar leptoquarks $\Phi_s$ at TESLA for energies in the range of $\sqrt{s} \simeq 1 \TeV$ using the pair production process $e^+e^- \to \Phi_s \bar{\Phi}_s$.
The Theta+(1540), recently observed at LEPS, DIANA and CLAS, is hypothesized to be an isotensor resonance. This implies the existence of a multiplet where the Theta++, Theta+ and Theta0 have isospin-violating strong decays, and the Theta+++…
We study tetraquark resonances with lattice QCD potentials computed for a static bbar bbar pair in the presence of two lighter quarks u d, the Born-Oppenheimer approximation and the emergent wave method. As a proof of concept we focus on…
In the light scalar meson sector (M < 1.8 GeV) one expects at least one q qbar nonet and a glueball, possibly also multi-quark states. We discuss the present phenomenological evidence for sigma and kappa particles; if real, they could be…
The weak decays of the axial-vector tetraquark $T_{bb;\bar{u} \bar{d}}^{-}$ to the scalar state $Z_{bc;\bar{u} \bar{d}}^{0}$ are investigated using the QCD three-point sum rule approach. In order to explore the process $T_{bb; \bar{u}…
We tentatively assign the $Y(4230)$ as the vector tetraquark state with a relative P-wave between the scalar diquark pair, and explore the three-body strong decays $Y(4230) \to \bar{D}^{*-}D^{*0}\pi^+$, $\bar{D}^{*-}D^0\pi^+$,…
It is a long discussed issue whether light scalar mesons have sizeable four-quark components. We present an exploratory study of this question using N_f=2+1+1 twisted mass lattice QCD. A mixed action approach ignoring disconnected…
In this article, we study the ground-state mass of full-heavy tetraquarks $cc\bar c\bar c$ and $bb\bar b \bar b$ with solving the nonrelativistic four-body systems. The flux-tube configurations, the tetraquark four-body potential butterfly,…
We consider the solution of the Bethe-Salpeter equation in Euclidean metric for a qbar-q vector meson in the circumstance where the dressed quark propagators have time-like complex conjugate mass poles. This approximates features…
The features of a model interpreting the light scalar mesons as diquark-antidiquark bound states and the consequences of its natural extension to include heavy quarks are briefly reviewed.
We report the results of a search for pair production of scalar bottom quarks (sbottom) and scalar third-generation leptoquarks in 5.2 fb-1 of ppbar collisions at the D0 experiment of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Scalar bottom quarks are…
We investigate the possibility of detecting a scalar leptoquark, coupling to the electron and the top, at a linear collider. For coupling strength equalling the weak coupling constant, the present mass bounds are of the order of 300 GeV. We…
We investigate the relation between different three-dimensional reductions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation and the analytic structure of the resultant amplitudes in the energy plane. This correlation is studied for both the $\phi^2\sigma$…
