We review the predictions of the quark model for the doubly-heavy tetraquarks $QQ\bar q\bar q$. The possibility of resonances near the $BB^*$ threshold in addition to a deeply bound state is discussed.
We propose an effective field theory for heavy quark-antiquark bound states once the soft gluons have been integrated out. We also give new results for the matching between QCD (QED) and NRQCD (NRQED).
Baryons containing two heavy quarks are important and interesting systems to study the quark-diquark structure of baryons and to understand the dynamics of QCD at hadronic scale. The Selex Collaboration has recently reported the discovery…
We review some recent ideas regarding classical topological objects in dual superconductor models that could represent different confining states of the gluon field. We also comment about natural components in (magnetic) ensembles that…
I present the exact energy eigenstates and eigenvalues of a quantum many-body system of bosons on non-commutative space and in a harmonic oszillator confining potential at the selfdual point. I also argue that this exactly solvable system…
Employing an approach based on the Green functions of Landau-gauge QCD, some selected results from a calculation of meson and baryon properties are presented. A rainbow-ladder truncation to the quark Dyson-Schwinger equation is used to…
We investigate the structure of charmonium, bottomonium, and $\rm B_c$ meson systems within the Basis Light-Front Quantization (BLFQ) approach, including both the quark-antiquark ($|q\bar{q}\rangle$) and quark-antiquark-gluon…
We derive covariant equations for a system of two quarks and two antiquarks where the effect of quark-antiquark annihilation is taken into account. In our approach, only pair-wise interactions are retained, while all possibilities of…
This talk reviews the last applications of the covariant quark model for studying the properties of the multiquark states: B_s-meson (quark-antiquark state), light baryons (three-quark states) and tetraquark (four-quark state). The form…
The model of induced quark currents formulated in our recent paper (Phys. Rev. D51, 176) is developed. The model being a kind of nonlocal extension of the bosonization procedure is based on the hypothesis that the QCD vacuum is realized by…
Relativistic light-front bound-state equations for mesons and baryons can be constructed in the chiral limit from the supercharges of a superconformal algebra which connect baryon and meson spectra. Quark masses break the conformal…
Masses of the ground, orbitally and radially excited states of the asymmetric fully heavy tetraquarks, composed of charm (c) and bottom (b) quarks and antiquarks are calculated in the relativistic diquark-antidiquark picture. The…
Focusing on the continuum meson bound-state problem, a novel method is used to calculate closed-form Bethe-Salpeter kernels that are symmetry consistent with any reasonable gluon-quark vertex, $\Gamma_\nu$, and therewith deliver a…
It is proposed that meson resonances are linear combinations of q-qbar and meson-meson (MM); baryon resonances are combinations of qqq and meson-baryon (MB). Mixing between these combinations arises via decays of confined states to…
In this work, we employ the effective vertices for interaction between diquarks (scalar or axial-vector) and gluon where the form factors are derived in terms of the B-S equation, to obtain the potential for baryons including a light quark…
The exploration of exotic mesons, which transcend the conventional quark-antiquark framework, is pivotal for advancing our understanding of QCD and the strong interaction. Among these, states possessing the quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$,…
The existence of stable multiquarks made of heavy quarks and antiquarks is discussed in the framework of potential models. It is stressed that the few-body problem should be handled seriously and accurately. No bound state is found within…
We discuss the possibility and the description of bound states between $B$ and $\bar{B}^*$ mesons. We argue that the existence of such a bound state can be deduced from (i) the weakly bound X(3872) state, (ii) certain assumptions about the…
We discuss whether a low-lying hybrid baryon should be defined as a three quark - gluon bound state or as three quarks moving on an excited adiabatic potential. We show that the latter definition becomes exact, not only for very heavy…
Within QCD, colourless states may be constructed corresponding to exotic matter outside of the traditional quark model. Experiments have recently observed tetraquark and pentaquark states, but no definitive hybrid meson signals have been…
