The point-form version of the Bakamjian-Thomas construction is applied to the description of several semileptonic decays of mesons. Weak form factors are extracted without ambiguity for pseudoscalar-to-pseudoscalar as well as for…
We search for decays of a B meson into a neutral D meson and a kaon, with the D meson decaying into K+pi-pi0. This final state can be reached through the b --> c transition B- -> D0K- followed by the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed D0 -->…
We use diquark-antidiquark currents to investigate the masses and partial decay widths of the recently observed mesons $D_{sJ}^{+}(2317)$, $D_0^{*0}(2308)$ and X(3872), considered as four-quark states, in a QCD sum rule approach. In…
We explore molecular states of two open heavy-quark mesons (Q qbar)-(qbar Q) in a quark-based model in terms of a four-body non-relativistic Hamiltonian with pairwise effective interactions. Molecular states are found in the combinations of…
We study weak decays of the charm- and bottom-strange mesons Ds0*(2317), Ds1(2460), Bs0*(5725) and Bs1(5778) with f0(980) in the final state by assuming a hadronic molecule interpretation for their structures. Since in the proposed…
Decays of Bs and B0 mesons into J/\psi \pi +\pi -\pi +\pi - final states, produced in pp collisions at the LHC, are investigated using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3/fb collected with the LHCb detector. B^0_(s) -> J\psi…
The surprising excess of missing-energy events far beyond all standard-model expectations in the weak decays of the charged ground-state $B^+$ meson into some charged strange meson, rather recently observed by the Belle-II experiment, may…
The strong decays of the $\pi_2(1880)$ as the $2 ^1D_2$ quark-antiquark state are investigated in the $^3P_0$ model and the flux-tube model, respectively. The results are similar in the two models. It is found that the decay patterns of the…
We use QCD sum rules to study the recently observed meson $Z^+(4430)$, considered as a $D^*D_1$ molecule with $J^{P}=0^{-}$. We consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension eight and work at leading order in $\alpha_s$. We get…
Recently LHCb experimental group find an exotic state $T^+_{cc}$ from the process $p\bar{p} \to D^0D^0\pi^+ + X$. A key question is if it is just a molecule or may have confined tetraquark ingredient. To investigate this, different methods…
We make predictions for the production and decays of $X(2900)$ states, and their possible charged partners, in $B^+$ and $B^0$ decays, considering a number of competing models for the states, including triangle diagrams mediated by quark…
Non-leptonic D meson decays may provide a reliable testbed for the multiquark interpretation of light scalar mesons. In this letter we consider D_s decay and show that a 4-quark f_0(980) meson could induce a decay pattern, which is…
The subject of particle-antiparticle mixing in the neutral B meson systems is reviewed. The formalism of B0-B0bar mixing and basic Standard Model predictions are given, before experimental issues are discussed and the latest combinations of…
We investigate hidden-charm exotic mesons based on a coupled-channel framework, where the physical states are described as superpositions of a compact $c\bar c$ core (identified with the $\chi_{cJ}(2P)$ states) and hadronic components such…
Recent lattice QCD calculations showed that a $d_{N\Omega}$ dibaryon state similar to the deuteron with small binding energy may exist. In this work we propose a hadronic molecular approach to study the dynamical properties of this exotic…
If the recently-discovered charmonium state X(3870) is a loosely-bound molecule of the charm mesons D^0 and \bar D^{*0} or \bar D^0 and D^{*0}, it can be produced in e^+ e^- annihilation at the \Upsilon(4S) resonance by the coalescence of…
It is plausible that several of the most profound aspects of low-energy QCD dynamics are connected to diquark correlations, including: paucity of exotics (which is the foundation of the quark model and of traditional nuclear physics),…
We use QCD sum rules to calculate the branching ratio for the production of the meson X(3872) in the decay $B\to X(3872)K$, assumed to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic molecular $[c\bar{q}][q\bar{c}]$ states with $J^{PC}=1^{++}$.…
In the present work, we investigate the productions of the molecular states composed of $D^{(*)}_s \bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $D^{(*)}_s \bar{D}^{(*)}_s$ in the $B$ and $B_s$ decays by using an effective Lagrangian approach. The branching ratios in…
