In this contribution, we discuss our recent unquenched quark model results for the spectrum of $b \bar b$ mesons with self energy corrections, due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. Our unquenched quark model predictions for the…
Based on the effective Lagrangian in the heavy quark limit, we calculate the one-boson-exchange interaction kernel of $P_\psi^N(4312)^+$ as the $\bar D\Sigma_c$ molecular state in isospin-$\frac12$. We present the Bethe-Salpeter equation…
Searching for exotic multiquark states and elucidating their nature remains a central topic in understanding quantum chromodynamics--the underlying theory of the strong interaction. Two of the most studied such states are the charm-strange…
The strong decay properties of the higher excited heavy-light mesons from the first radially excited states up to the first $F$-wave states are studied in a constituent quark model. It is found many missing excitations have good potentials…
We calculate the form factors for weak decays of $B_{(s)}$ and $D_{(s)}$ mesons to light pseudoscalar and vector mesons within a relativistic dispersion approach based on the constituent quark picture. This approach gives the form factors…
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…
We propose to search for the open heavy-flavor exotic states with the quark components of $Qs\bar u\bar d$ with $Q=b,c$ via their weak decays. If there exist such exotic states below the $BK$ or $DK$ thresholds, they can only decay weakly.…
Masses and decay constants of mesons containing a single $c$ or $b$ quark are described within the framework of heavy-quark symmetry. The $B_s^* - B_s$ and $\bar B^{*0} - \bar B^0$ mass splittings are found equal to within a fraction of an…
Motivated by the recent discovery of the hidden charm exotic state with strangeness by the BESIII and LHCb Collaborations, we study the $S$ wave strange hidden bottom tetraquark in two kinds of quark models. Both meson-meson and…
We study near-threshold $D\bar{D}$ scattering in $S$ and $D$-wave to determine whether or not resonances or bound states are present. Working in the approximation where charm-annihilation is forbidden, with two degenerate light-quark…
Elastic scattering amplitudes for $I=0$ $DK$ and $I=0,1$ $D\bar{K}$ are computed in $S$, $P$ and $D$ partial waves using lattice QCD with light-quark masses corresponding to $m_\pi = 239$ MeV and $m_\pi = 391$ MeV. The $S$-waves contain…
Scalar tetraquark states are studied within the diquark-antidiquark picture in a non-relativistic approach. We consider two types of confining potentials, a quadratic and a linear one, to which we also add spin-spin, isospin-isospin, and…
The mass spectrum of P-wave mesons is considered in a nonrelativistic constituent quark model. The results show the common mass degeneracy of the isovector and isodoublet states of the scalar and tensor meson nonets, and do not exclude the…
We consider the interplay of a quark state and a hadronic threshold in the framework of the P-matrix formalism, which is reviewed and extended for use together with conventional methods of computing quark-gluon dynamics. We provide a…
Threshold corrections to the bottom quark mass are often estimated under the approximation that tan$\beta$ enhanced contributions are the most dominant. In this work we revisit this common approximation made to the estimation of the…
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 $D_s(2320)$…
In this proceeding, we report our recent study of the mixing mechanism between $D_{s1}(2460)$ and $D_{s1}(2536)$. On the basis of Godfrey-Isgur model, we consider the $D^*K$ hadron loop effect on the ${}^3P_1$ and ${}^1P_1$ $c\bar{s}$…
In quark potential models the hyperfine splitting of P-wave mesons is zero in the nonrelativistic limit, a prediction strikingly confirmed by experiment in both charmonia and bottomonia. The result, however, ignores the coupling of bare…
Recently, the BES collaboration has published an extensive partial wave analysis of experimental data on J/psi -> phi pi+pi-, J/psi -> omega pi+pi-, J/psi -> phi K+K- and J/psi -> omega K+K-. These new results are analyzed here, with full…
We consider the nonleptonic B decays $ B \to D^{(*)} D_s(2317)$ and $ B \to D^{(*)} D_s(2460)$, involving the newly discovered $D_s(2317)$ and the $D_s(2460)$ states. We find that experiments indicate disagreement with model calculations of…
