We calculated the decay widths of the $1^3F_2$ and $1^3F_4$ $s\bar{s}$ mesons and compared them to the measured properties of the $\xi(2220)$ (now known as the $f_4(2220)$). Including previously neglected decay modes we found that the width…

We investigate $B_s\pi^+$ scattering in s-wave using lattice QCD in order to search for an exotic resonance X(5568) with flavor $\bar b s \bar d u$; such a state was recently reported by D0 but was not seen by LHCb. If X(5568) with…

We present a concise review of the vector charmonium state $\psi(4230)$, which was originally labelled as $Y(4260)$ in the literature. As one of the earliest candidates for a QCD exotic states, its interpretation has initiated various ideas…

Recent CMS observations in the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum reveal new structures at 6638 MeV ($X(6600)$)) and 7134 MeV, and confirm the $X(6900)$ at 6847 MeV. These findings provide crucial insights into four-charm-quark matter. The…

We study the reactions $\gamma d\to\pi\gamma NN$ with the aim to search for six-quark states, the decay of which into two nucleons is forbidden by the Pauli exclusion principle. These states with the masses $M<2m_N+m_{\pi}$ should mainly…
