The LHCb Collaboration has observed two types of hidden-charm pentaquark states $P_{\psi}^N$ and $P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}$ since 2015. In this work, we predict two other types of hidden-charm pentaquark states $P_{\psi s}^{\Sigma}(4367)$ and…
The 2015 LHCb discovery of a structure (denoted by $P_c^+$) decaying in $J/\psi \,p$ and conjectured to be a penta-quark state, has triggered a renewed interest in the question of possible existence of multi-quark states not predicted by…
Since the discovery of the $T_{cc}$ double-charm tetaquark by the LHCb collaboration, the field of the theoretical research on heavy quarks has advanced rapidly, with increasing interest in exploring the light quark sector. In this study,…
Motivated by the discovery of the fully charmed tetraquark state $X(6900)$ in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$ pairs by the LHCb collaboration, this study explores the potential existence of fully heavy pentaquark states. We…
We investigate the production of the hidden-charm pentaquark $P_{cs}^0(4459)$ with strangeness in the $K^- p \to J/\psi \Lambda$ reaction, employing two different theoretical frameworks, i.e., the effective Lagrangian method and the Regge…
Two-ordinary-meson scattering in large-$N_c$ QCD implies consistency criteria for intermediate-tetraquark contributions. Their fulfilment at $N_c$-leading order constrains the nature of the spectrum of genuinely exotic tetraquark states.
We investigate the pentaquark($P$) exotic baryons as soliton-antiflavored heavy mesons bound states in the limit of infinitely heavy meson mass. Our approach respects the chiral symmetry as well as the heavy quark symmetry. The results…
In the framework of the chiral quark model, we investigate the hidden strange pentaquark system of the $N\phi$ state with the quantum numbers of IJ=$\frac{1}{2}$$\frac{3}{2}$. The results show that the $N\phi$ state can be bound through the…
In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction model, we have systematically calculated the mass splittings for the S-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the configuration $qqQQ\bar{Q}$ $(Q=c,b;q=u,d,s)$. Their masses are estimated…
Recently several experiments have reported evidences for pentaquark $\Theta^+$. H1 experiment at HERA-B has also reported evidence for $\Theta_c$. $\Theta^+$ is interpreted as a bound state of an $\bar s$ with other four light quarks $udud$…
Investigations of the existence of pentaquark states containing a single $b$ (anti)quark decaying weakly into four specific final states J/$\psi K^+\pi^- p$, J/$\psi K^- \pi^- p$, J/$\psi K^- \pi^+ p$, and $J/\psi \phi (1020) p$ are…
The ground-breaking discovery of the first fully charmed tetraquark state $X(6900)$ in the $J/\psi J/\psi$ invariant mass distribution by the LHCb collaboration has inspired intensive theoretical studies. Various interpretations, such as…
Investigating the electromagnetic characteristics of unconventional states may offer new insights into their internal structures. In particular, the magnetic moment attributes may serve as a crucial physical observable for differentiating…
In the framework of quark delocalization color screening model, the three new reported pentaquarks $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$, and $P_{c}(4457)$ can be identified as the hidden-charm molecular states $\Sigma_{c}D$ with…
If the Theta^+(1540) is interpreted as a bound state of a $\bar s$ quark and two (ud) diquarks in a relative P-wave, then it is very likely that there exist pentaquark states with a heavy antiquark, $\bar b$ or $\bar c$, and two ``light''…
We consider hidden charm pentaquarks as hadroquarkonium states in a QCD inspired approach. Pentaquarks arise naturally as bound states of quarkonia excitations and ordinary baryons. The LHCb $P_c(4450)$ pentaquark is interpreted as a…
Recent data from Belle show unusually large partial widths Upsilon(5S) --> Upsilon(1S) pi^+pi^- and \Upsilon(5S) --> \Upsilon(2S) pi^+ pi^-. The Z(4430) narrow resonance also reported by Belle in psi' pi^+ spectrum has the properties…
The present work reviews the various aspects of the extension of the large-$N_c$ approach, as had been proposed and developed by 't Hooft, to the case of tetraquark states, which are a category of the general class of exotic states, also…
A new mechanism of the production of hypothetical $\Theta(ud\bar{s}ud)^+$ pentaquark state is suggested. The considered mechanism is based on the exchange by exotic Regge trajectories in the $t$ channel. It is shown that the momentum…
In a previous work we presented a theoretical analysis of the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi K^- p$ reaction from where a recent experiment by the LHCb collaboration at CERN claimed the existence of two hidden charm pentaquarks, $P_c(4380)^+$ and…
