The recent LHCb data on $B_s^0\to J/\psi p\bar{p}$ revealed a new pentaquark-like $P_c(4337)^+$ structure, while finding no evidence for $P_c(4312)^+$ discovered earlier in $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$. Though puzzling, the data actually…

One of the most interesting predictions resulting from quantum physics, is the violation of classical symmetries, collectively referred to as anomalies. A remarkable class of anomalies occurs when the continuous scale symmetry of a scale…

Heavy quark symmetry can help us identify the internal structure of hadrons and predict new particles. In this study, we examine the strong decay modes of the observed $\Lambda_b^0(6146)$ and $\Lambda_b^0(6152)$, assuming these two states…

Using new experimental data on photoproduction and $\Lambda_b^0$ decays, we derive constraints on the properties of the LHCb $P_c$ states. We conclude that $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4440)$ can be described as $\Sigma_c\bar D$,…

Using the bound state version of the topological soliton model for the baryons we show that the existence of a bound (or quasi-bound) $\bar D$-soliton state leads to the possibility of having hidden charm pentaquarks with quantum numbers…

We consider hidden charm pentaquarks as hadroquarkonium states in a QCD inspired approach. Pentaquarks arise naturally as bound states of quarkonia excitations and ordinary baryons. The LHCb $P_c(4450)$ pentaquark is interpreted as a…

The LHCb collaboration has detected a new hidden-charm pentaquark with the quantum numbers of a $\Lambda$ baryon: the $P_{\psi s}^{\Lambda}(4338)$. This pentaquark will be interpreted as a $\bar{D}_s \Lambda_c$-$\bar{D} \Xi_c$ resonance…

We investigate the modification of discrete scale invariance in the bound state spectrum by long-range interactions. This problem is relevant for effective field theory descriptions of nuclear cluster states and manifestations of the Efimov…

The exploration of exotic hadrons provides a crucial testing ground for quantum chromodynamics in its non-perturbative regime. In this work, we perform a systematic study of the two-body strong decay properties of single-charm molecular…

We present an analysis of the newly observed pentaquark $P_c(4312)^+$ to shed light on its quantum numbers. To do that, the QCD sum rule approach is used. The measured mass of this particle is close to $\Sigma_c^{++}\bar{D}^-$ threshold and…

Dimensional reduction from 10 to 5 dimensions of the IIB supergravity Dirac equation written down on the AdS(5)xS(5) (+ self-dual 5-form) background provides the unambiguous values of bulk masses of Fermions in the effective 5D Randall…

The three pentaquark states, $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$, and $P_{c}(4457)$, discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in 2019, can be nicely arranged into a multiplet of $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)}$ of seven molecules dictated by…

The LHCb discovery of the two baryonic states $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$, having $J^{P}=3/2^-$ and $J^{P}=5/2^+$, respectively, in the process $pp \to b \bar{b} \to \Lambda_b X$, followed by the decay $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi\; p\; K^-$,…

The hadronic scalar molecules $\mathcal{M}_{b}$ and $\mathcal{M}_{c}$ with asymmetric quark contents $bb \overline{b}\overline{c}$ and $cc \overline{c} \overline{b}$ are explored by means of the QCD sum rule method. Their masses and current…

A molecular model of the $P_c(4457)$ and $P_c(4440)$ LHCb states is proposed. The model relies on channels coupled by long range pion-exchange dynamics with features that depend crucially on the novel addition of the $\Lambda_c(2595)\bar D$…

New LHCb Collaboration results on pentaquarks with hidden charm [1] are discussed. These results fit nicely in the hadrocharmonium pentaquark scenario [2,3]. In the new data the old LHCb pentaquark $P_c(4450)$ splits into two states…

Exclusive production of a $\eta_c$ pseudo-scalar meson in $\gamma^{(*)} + p \to \eta_c + p$ scattering at high energies involves a ${\cal C}$-odd exchange in the $t$-channel. We formulate the description of this process within the…
