We examine charmed-strange mesons within the framework of the constituent quark model, focusing on the states with L=1. We are particularly interested in the mixing of two spin-states that are involved in $D_{s1}(2536)$ and the recently…
We discuss the new state $D_{sJ}(2317)$ discovered by BaBar and demonstrate using QCD inequalities that if indeed the $f_0(980)$ and the new $D_{sJ}(2317)$ ($0^+$) are primarilly made of four quarks that a new I=0 ``$\bar DD$ bound state''…
We have investigated $D^{+}\pi^{-}$ and $D^{*+}\pi^{-}$ final states and observed the two established $L=1$ charmed mesons, the $D_1(2420)^0$ with mass $2421^{+1+2}_{-2-2}$ MeV/c$^{2}$ and width $20^{+6+3}_{-5-3}$ MeV/c$^{2}$ and the…
We calculate the scattering amplitudes of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar D-mesons in unitarized heavy meson chiral approach. The low energy constants appearing in $\mathcal{O}(p^2)$ chiral Lagrangian are determined by fitting lattice…
In the present work we investigate the $\eta_c K$, $J/\psi K$, $\eta_c K^*$ and $J/\psi K^*$ hidden-charm decay modes for the $c\bar{c}s\bar{u}$ four-quark system in the molecular and compact tetraquark scenarios using the quark-exchange…
Inspired by the newly reported $Z_{cs}(3985)^{-}$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we systematically investigate the strange hidden-charm tetraquark systems $cs\bar{c}\bar{u}$ with two structures: meson-meson and diquark-antidiquark. Two quark…
We perform a theoretical study on the spectrum of the low-lying hidden-bottom ($q\bar{q}b\bar{b}$ with $q=$ $u$, $d$ and $s$) and double-bottom ($q\bar{q}bb$) tetraquark states within a nonrelativistic quark model, in which the…
The proximity of ${\rm Z}^+(4430)$ to the ${\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1}$ threshold suggests that it may be a ${\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1}$ molecular state. The ${\rm D^{*}\bar{D}_1}$ system has been studied dynamically from quark model, and state mixing…
The isospin breaking and radiative decay widths of the positive-parity charm-strange mesons, $D^{*}_{s0}$ and $D_{s1}$, and their predicted bottom-strange counterparts, $B^{*}_{s0}$ and $B_{s1}$, as hadronic molecules are revisited. This is…
Two new states in the charm strange sector, DsJ(2317) and DsJ(2460), have recently been discovered at electron positron collider experiments. The new states are first observed in the dominant Ds pi0 and Ds* pi0 modes respectively and are…
Using the effective Lagrangian approach, we examine the recently observed charm states $D^{*}_{J}(2460)$, $D_{J}(2560)$, $D_{J}(2740)$, $D_{J}(3000)$ and their spin partners $D^{*}_{J}(2680)$, $D^{*}_{J}(2760)$ and $D^{*}_{J}(3000)$ with…
We study the reaction $e^+e^-\to\bar DD$ near threshold in the $^3P_0$ non-relativistic quark model, including as intermediate states the $J/\psi$, $\psi(2S)$, $\psi(3770)$ and $\psi(4040)$ mesons. The work reveals that experimental data…
Assuming that $D_{s0}^{*}(2317)$ is a $DK$ molecular state with a binding energy of 45 MeV, we investigate the existence of four-hadron molecules, $DDKK$ and $D\Bar{D}K\Bar{K}$, with the Gaussian expansion method. Their binding energies are…
Using the soft-pion theorem and the assumption on the final-state interactions, we include the contribution of $DK$ continuum into the QCD sum rules for $D_{sJ}(2317)$ meson. We find that this contribution can significantly lower the mass…
The $Z_{c}(3900)^\pm/Z_c(3885)^\pm$ and $Z_{c}(4020)^\pm$ are two charmonium-like structures discovered in the $\pi J/\psi$ and $D^\ast\bar D^{(\ast)}+h.c.$ invariant mass spectra. Their nature is puzzling due to their charge, which forces…
We use a combination of quark-antiquark and $B^{(*)}K$ interpolating fields to predict the mass of two QCD bound states below the $B^*K$ threshold in the quantum channels $J^P=0^+$ and $1^+$. The mesons correspond to the b-quark cousins of…
We calculate masses of light and heavy mesons as well as baryons of negative parity containing $u,d,s,c$ and $b$ quarks. It is an extension of our previous work where we had studied the positive parity baryons. We adopt a quark-diquark…
The strong decay amplitudes and radiative partial widths of orbital and radially excited states of $B$ and $B_s$ mesons are presented. These results are obtained with a nonrelativistic potential quark model, the nonrelativistic reduction of…
We present lattice results on the scalar $D_s$ meson and comment on the $D_{sJ}^+(2317)$ state recently discovered by BaBar and confirmed by CLEO, in view of a series of theoretical claims and counter claims. Lattice predictions in the…
We apply the diabatic approach, specially suited for a QCD based study of conventional (quark-antiquark) and unconventional (quark-antiquark + meson-meson) meson states, to the description of hidden-bottom mesons. A spectral analysis of the…
