Motivated by the LHCb's very recent observation of exotic $X_{0}(2900)$ in the $B^{+}\rightarrow D^{+}D^{-}K^{+}$ process, for which could be a good open charm $ud\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark candidate, we endeavor to investigate its…
Recent CMS observations in the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum reveal new structures at 6638 MeV ($X(6600)$)) and 7134 MeV, and confirm the $X(6900)$ at 6847 MeV. These findings provide crucial insights into four-charm-quark matter. The…
Using data recorded at centre-of-mass energies around 183 GeV and 189 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP, the fundamental coupling of the charm quark to the W boson has been studied. The ratio Rc^W = Gamma(W -> cX)/Gamma(W -> hadrons) has…
