The strange pentaquarks with hidden heavy quark pair ($q^3c\bar c$ and $q^3b \bar b$) are investigated by the coupled-channel quark cluster model. Two types of the $q^3$ color-octet configurations are found to provide the attraction, which…

In present work, we perform a coupled-channel analysis of $B^{(*)}_{(s)}\bar{B}^{(*)}_{(s)}$ systems with the one-boson-exchange potentials. We first study the $I(J^{PC})=1(1^{+-})$ $B\bar{B}^{*}/B^{*}\bar{B}^{*}$ system to describe the…

Highlights in the search for nonconventional (non qqbar) meson states are the pi_1(1400) and pi_1(1600) exotic candidates. Should they exist, mounting theoretical arguments suggest that they are tetraquark molecular resonances excitable by…

We predict an exotic Z^+ baryon (having spin 1/2, isospin 0 and strangeness +1) with a relatively low mass of about 1530 MeV and total width of less than 15 MeV. It seems that this region of masses has avoided thorough searches in the past.

We discuss the consequences of the chiral doubling scenario for baryons built of heavy and light quarks. In particular, we use the soliton description for baryons, demonstrating why each heavy-light baryon should be accompanied by the…

The $D_{s0}^*(2317) D$ and $D_{s1}^*(2460) D^*$ heavy meson systems can exchange a kaon that is emitted in S-wave owing to the opposite intrinsic parity of the $D_{s0}^*$($D_{s1}^*$) and $D$($D^*$) mesons. As a consequence of the mass…

We study s-wave bound states of a hadron and a light pseudoscalar meson induced by the Weinberg-Tomozawa (WT) interaction in the flavor SU(3) symmetric limit. The WT interaction is a driving force to generate quasibound states dynamically…

String consistency conditions are stronger than anomaly cancellation and can require the addition of exotics in the visible sector. We study such exotics and demonstrate that they may account for the modest excess at $750$ GeV in recent…

We predict exotic doubly heavy--strange pentaquarks with minimal quark content $u\bar d sQQ'$ ($QQ'=cc,bc,bb$) within a coupled-channel unitary framework where the interaction is derived from an extension of the local hidden gauge approach…

We revisit the consequences of the heavy-quark spin symmetry for the possible spin partners of the $X(3872)$. We confirm that, if the $X(3872)$ were a $D\bar{D}^*$ molecular state with the quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, then in the strict…

A chiral effective theory of quarks and diquarks is formulated and applied to exotic tetraquarks and pentaquarks. The effective theory is similar to the chiral quark effective theory with the addition of diquark degrees of freedom and…

We estimate the couplings in the Heavy Hadron Chiral Theory (HHCT) lagrangian from the QCD sum rules in an external axial field. Stability of the sum rules at moderate values of the Borel parameter is poor that probably signals a slow…

In this work, we adopt the one-boson exchange model to analyze the $D^{(*)}_{(s)}B^{(*)}_{(s)}$ interactions from a coupled-channel perspective. For the $I(J^{P})=1(1^{+})$ $DB^{*}/D^*B/D^*B^{*}$ system, employing the complex scaling…

We present searches for heavy top and bottom quark partners at CMS using data collected at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV. Such partners, if vector-like, occur in models such as the Little Higgs and Large Extra Dimensions. Fermionic top partners could…

New bounds on the electric dipole moment (EDM) of charm and bottom quarks are derived using the stringent limits on their chromo-EDMs. The new limits, $|d_c|<1.5\times10^{-21}\:e\,\text{cm}$ and $|d_b|< 1.2\times 10^{-20}\:e\,\text{cm}$,…

Recently BESIII collaboration discovered a charged strange hidden-charm state $Z_{cs}$(3985) in the $D_s^-D^{*0} + D_s^{*-}D^{0}$ spectrum. A higher $Z'_{cs}$ state coupling to $\bar{D}_s^{*-}D^{*0}$ is expected by SU(3)-flavor symmetry,…

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is predicted to occur as a consequence of a local violation of $\cal P$ and $\cal CP$ symmetries of the strong interaction amidst a strong electro-magnetic field generated in relativistic heavy-ion…

In this work, we systematically investigate the dibaryons with charm number $C$=1 and strangeness number $S$=$\pm$ 1 from the interactions of a charmed baryon and a strange baryon $\Lambda_c\Lambda$, $\Lambda_c\Sigma^{(*)}$,…

The recently discovered $T_{cc}^+$ is evaluated as a $DD^*$ molecular structure in the $J^P=1^+$ sector. A coupled-channels calculation in charged basis, considering the $D^0D^{*\,+}$, $D^+D^{*\,0}$ and $D^{*\,0}D^{*\,+}$ channels, is done…

The mass spectra of singly charmed and bottom baryons, $\Lambda_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$ and $\Xi_{c/b}(1/2^\pm,3/2^-)$, are investigated using a nonrelativistic potential model with a heavy quark and a light diquark. The masses of the scalar…
