A narrow state, which we label DsJ(2458)+, with mass 2458.0 +/- 1.0(stat.) +/- 1.0(syst.) MeV/c^2, is observed in the inclusive Ds+ pi0 \gamma$ mass distribution in 91 fb-1 of e^+e^- annihilation data recorded by the BABAR detector at the…

We study the hadronic molecular structure of hidden heavy pentaquarks - new exotic states composed of charmed/bottom baryons and $D(D^*)/B(B^*)$ mesons. Based on the observation of three pentaquark candidates $P_c^+(4312)$, $P_c^+(4440)$,…

Both CDF and D{\O}experiments have been searching for evidence of physics beyond the standard model (SM) using the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider at Fermilab. We report on recent searches in the $B$ flavor sector, especially decays via flavor…

Recently, a charmonium $X(3960)$ in $B$ decays in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ invariant-mass spectrum is discovered by the LHCb Collaboration with the quantum number $J^{PC}=0^{++}$. Motivated by the discovery, in this work, we systematically…

It is proposed that the newly discovered X(3872) is a $J^{PC} = 1^{++}$ $D^0\bar D^{0*}$ hadronic resonance stabilized by admixtures of $\omega J/\psi$ and $\rho J/\psi$. A specific model of the state is constructed and tests of its…

Evidence for a narrow baryon state is found in quasi-real photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel p K^0_S --> p pi^+ pi^-. A peak is observed in the p K^0_S invariant mass spectrum at 1528 +/- 2.6 (stat) +/-2.1…

Hadronic states composed of multi-quark flavors may exist in reality since they are not prohibited by QCD. Compact four quark systems of color singlet are classified as tetraquarks. To understand the properties of these states, more…

We report a measurement of the ratios of the decay rates of the B^+, B^0 and B^0_s mesons into exclusive final states containing a J/psi meson. The final states were selected from 19.6 pb^{-1} of p-pbar collisions recorded by the Collider…

The properties of ground-state baryons of light-quarks are investigated in U(12)-classification scheme of hadrons, recently proposed by us. In U(12), in addition to the ordinary 56 of SU(6)SF, the existence of the extra 56 with…

The recent observation of $X(5568)$ by the D0 Collaboration has aroused a lot of interest both theoretically and experimentally. In the present work, we first point out that $X(5568)$ and $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ cannot simultaneously be of…

The $B_c$ meson, a unique bound state comprising of two open heavy flavors, charm and bottom, offers a rich avenue for probing the predictions of the Next Decade - Standard Model (ND-SM) physics properties due to its heavy mass. With recent…

A baryonic decay of the $B_c^+$ meson, $B_c^+\to J/\psi p\overline{p}\pi^+$, is observed for the first time, with a significance of $7.3$ standard deviations, in $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to an…

We study $D_s^+ D_s^-$ and $D \bar D$ states assuming that they are hadronic molecules with $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ quantum number. We use two-point QCD sum rule formalism and extract the mass and decay constant values of these states. We take into…
