The last two decades are marked by a renaissance in hadronic spectroscopy caused by the arrival of vast experimental information on exotic states in the spectrum of charmonium and bottomonium. Most of such states have properties at odds…
We have carried out an evaluation of the $\pi^+ \pi^-$ and $D_s^+ \pi^+$ mass distributions in the $D_{s1}(2536)$ decay to $D_s^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$, from the perspective that the $D_{s1}(2536)$ is a molecular state, mostly made from $K^*D$ in…
A central question in exotic-hadron physics is their internal structure whether these states are loosely bound hadronic molecules or compact multiquark configurations. To shed light on this issue, we develop a model that incorporates mixing…
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…
The recent observation of multiple near-threshold structures in $e^+e^-$ annihilation-including $\psi(3770)$, $G(3900)$, $R(3760)$, $R(3780)$, and $R(3810)$-reveals limitations in existing models of charmonium and exotic hadrons. In this…
Different experiments have confirmed that the $D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ mesons are very narrow states located, respectively, below the $DK$ and $D^{\ast}K$ thresholds. This is markedly in contrast with the expectations of…
About 33, 6.5 and 1.0 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ annihilation data were, respectively, taken around the center-of-mass energies of $\sqrt s=$ 3.773 GeV, at $\sqrt s=$ 3.650 GeV and at $\sqrt s=$ 3.6648 GeV with the BES-II detector at the BEPC…
The $a_1(1420)$ with $I^G(J^{PC})= 1^-(1^{++})$ observed in the $\pi^+ f_0(980)$ final state in the $\pi^-p\to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^- p$ process by the COMPASS collaboration seems unlikely to be an ordinary $\bar qq$ mesonic state. Available…
We propose that the Y(4260) particle recently announced by BaBar is the first orbital excitation of a diquark-antidiquark state ([cs][cbar sbar]). Using parameters recently determined to describe the X(3872) and X(3940) we show that the Y…
Cross sections of the process $e^+e^-\to\pi^0\pi^0 J/\psi$ at center-of-mass energies between 3.808 and 4.600 GeV are measured with high precision by using 12.4 $fb^{-1}$ of data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the…
Using data collected with the CLEO detector operating at the CESR e+e- collider at sqrt s = 3.97-4.26 GeV, we investigate 15 charmonium decay modes of the psi(4040), psi(4160), and Y(4260) resonances. We confirm, at 11$\sigma$ significance,…
The cross sections of $e^+e^- \rightarrow K^+K^-J/\psi$ at center-of-mass energies from 4.127 to 4.600~GeV are measured based on 15.6 fb$^{-1}$ data collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII storage ring. Two resonant…
In this work, we investigate the discovery potential for Y(3940) by the photoproduction process $\gamma p\to Y(3940)p$. The numerical result shows that the upper (lower) limit of the total cross section for $\gamma p\to Y(3940)p$ is up to…
Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported the doubly charmed tetraquark state $T_{cc}^+$ below the $D^{*+}D^0$ threshold about $273$ keV. As a very near-threshold state, its long-distance structure is very important. In the molecular…
There are eighteen possibly existing $D^{(*)} \bar D^{(*)}$, $D^{(*)} \bar K^{(*)}$, and $D^{(*)} D_s^{(*)-}$ hadronic molecular states. We construct their corresponding interpolating currents, and calculate their masses and decay constants…
The cross sections of the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to \eta J/\psi$ at center-of-mass energies ($\sqrt{s}$) between 3.81 and 4.60 GeV are measured with high precision by using data samples collected with the BESIII detector operating at the…
In this article, we take the $D_{s3}^*(2860)$ and $D_{s1}^*(2860)$ as the $1^3{\rm D}_3$ and $1^3{\rm D}_1$ $c\bar{s}$ states, respectively, study their strong decays with the heavy meson effective theory by including the chiral symmetry…
The Ds-Ds*, D*-D*, and Ds*-Ds*, P-wave channels in the energy region of the Y(4260) charmonium structure are studied in a coupled-channel model applied to JPC=1-- c-cbar resonances. The three channels exhibit enhancements that peak at 4.27…
Motivated by the recent discovery of a charmonium $X(3960)$ in $B$ decays by the LHCb Collaboration, the likely existence of two bound/virtual states (denoted by $ X_{s\bar{s}}$ and $ X_{q\bar{q}}$) below the $D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-}$ and…
Inspired by the first observation of a vector charmonium-like state $Y(4626)$ decaying to a meson pair $D_{s}^{+}D_{s1}(2536)^{-}$, which could be viewed as a $P$-wave scalar-scalar $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ tetraquark state, we predict a…
