The strong decays of the low-lying $\lambda$-mode $\Lambda_b(1D,2S)$ and $\Sigma_b(2S)$ states are studied in a chiral quark model. We find that: (i) the newly observed $\Lambda_b(6146/6152)$ resonances in the $\Lambda_b\pi^+\pi^-$ spectrum…
Inspired by the $X(4140)$ structure reported in the $J/\psi \phi$ system by the CDF experiment in 2009, a series of searches have been carried out in the $J/\psi \phi$ and $J/\psi K$ channels, leading to the claim of ten structures in the…
A puzzling phenomenon, where the measured mass of the $\psi(4160)$ is pushed higher, presents a challenge to current theoretical models of hadron spectroscopy. This study suggests that the issue arises from analyses based on the outdated…
We search for the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow \pi ^{+}\pi ^{-} \chi_{cJ}$ ($J=0,1,2$) and for a charged charmonium-like state in the $\pi ^{\pm} \chi_{cJ}$ subsystem. The search uses data sets collected with the BESIII detector at the…

Resonant structures in $B^0\to\psi'\pi^-K^+$ decays are analyzed by performing a four-dimensional fit of the decay amplitude, using $pp$ collision data corresponding to $\rm 3 fb^{-1}$ collected with the LHCb detector. The data cannot be…
The full-heavy tetraquarks $cc\bar{c}\bar{b}$ and $bb\bar{b}\bar{c}$ are systematically investigated within the chiral quark model. The meson-meson structure, diquark-antidiquark structure and K-structure are considered in this work. There…

We report the results of a search for the $B \to Y(4260) K, ~Y(4260)\to J/\psi\pi^+\pi^-$ decays. This study is based on a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 711~fb$^{-1}$, collected at the $\Upsilon(4S)$ resonance…
The $D_s(2320)$ state recently observed by BaBar in the $D_s^+\pi^0$ channel may be the first of a host of $cq\bar q\bar q$ four-quark states. We give a phenomenological account of the masses and decay modes. The isosinglet $D_s(2320)$…

Investigation of the resonances $X(4140)$ and $X(4274)$, which were recently confirmed by the LHCb Collaboration [1], is carried out by treating them as the color triplet and sextet $[cs][\bar{c}\bar {s}]$ diquark-antidiquark states with…

We study some of the main properties (masses and open-flavor strong decay widths) of $4P$ and $5P$ charmonia. While there are two candidates for the $\chi_{\rm c0}(4P,5P)$ states, the $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$, the properties of the other…
