$Z_c(4430)$ discovered in $\bar{B}^0\to\psi(2S)K^-\pi^+$, $Z_c(4200)$ found in $\bar{B}^0\to J/\psi K^-\pi^+$, and $Z_1(4050)$ and $Z_2(4250)$ observed in $\bar{B}^0\to\chi_{c1}K^-\pi^+$ are candidates of charged charmonium-like states. All…
$Z_1(4050)$ and $Z_2(4250)$ observed in $\bar{B}^0\to\chi_{c1}K^-\pi^+$ by the Belle Collaboration are candidates of charged charmonium-like states that minimally includes two quarks and two antiquarks. While $Z_1(4050)$ and $Z_2(4250)$…
To identify the nature of the newly observed charged resonance Zc(4200), we study its hadronic decays Zc(4200) -> J/psi pi, Zc(4200) -> eta_c rho and Zc(4200) -> D bar D* as a charmonium-like tetraquark state. In the framework of the QCD…
In a previous paper we suggested an explanation for the peak designated as $Z(4430)^+$ in the $\psi^\prime\pi^+$ mass spectrum, observed by Belle in ${\bar{\!B}} \to {\psi^\prime} \pi^+ K$ decays, as an effect of $\bar{\!D}{}^{\,*0}D^{\,+}…
It is suggested that the recently reported charged charmoniumlike resonance $Z_c(4100)$ and the previously observed $Z_c(4200)$ are two states of hadrocharmonium, related by the charm quark spin symmetry in the same way as the lowest…
Understanding the nature of the hidden charm pentaquark(like) signals in the LHCb data for $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ is a central problem of hadron spectroscopy. We propose a scenario completely different from previous ones such as…
We propose a novel scenario for the peak structures, usually interpreted as hidden charm pentaquark ($P_c$) contributions, in the LHCb's $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ data. The key idea is to utilize leading or lower-order singularities…
Very recently LHCb reported the evidence of a new charged charmonium-like structure in the $J/\psi \pi^-$ invariant mass spectrum near 4600 MeV. In this work we investigate this structure together with three other charged charmonium-like…
We examine the four-quark structure of the recently discovered charged $Z_c(3900)$, $Z(4430)$, and $X_b(5568)$ states. We calculate the widths of the strong decays $Z_c^+ \to J/\psi \pi^+$ ($\eta_c\rho^+$, $\bar D^0D^{\ast\,+}$, $\bar…
The two exotic $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ discovered in $2015$ by the LHCb Collaboration, together with the four resonances $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$, reported in $2016$ by the same collaboration, are described in a…
It has been recently suggested that the charged charmoniumlike resonances $Z_c(4100)$ and $Z_c(4200)$ are two states of hadrocharmonium, related by the charm quark spin symmetry in the same way as the lowest charmonium states $\eta_c$ and…
We present the results of an amplitude analysis of anti-B0 -> J/psi K- pi+ decays. A new charged charmoniumlike state Zc(4200)+ decaying to J/psi pi+ is observed with a significance of 6.2 sigma. The mass and width of the Zc(4200)+ are 4196…
Several charmonium-like states above $D\bar{D}$ threshold have been discovered at the Belle and BABAR B-factories. Some of these states are produced via Initial State Radiation (e.g. Y(4260) and Y(4350)), and some are observed in B-meson…
The spectrum of hadrons is important for understanding the confinement of quantum chromodynamics. Many new puzzles arose since 2003 due to the abundance of experimental discoveries with the $XYZ$ structures in the heavy quarkonium mass…
We conjecture that $Z_c^-$(4100) found by LHCb group from a Dalitz plot analysis of $B^0\to \eta_c K^+\pi^-$ decay is the charge conjugate of $Z_1^+$(4050) observed in $\chi_{c1}\pi^+$ distribution from Belle collaboration. Some interesting…
The models for the internal structure of the newly found four-quark charmonium-like resonance $Z_c(3900)$ are discussed: the molecular model as well as the hadro-charmonium and tetraquark schemes. It is argued that it would be possible to…
Inspired by the present experimental status of charged charmonium-like states $Z_c^+$, the tetraquark states $[cu][\bar{c}\bar{d}]$ are systematically studied in a color flux-tube model with a multi-body confinement potential. The…
We present the interpretation that the recently discovered Z^+(4430) by the Belle Collaboration can be a radial excitation of the cs-bar state. We give an explicit cs-bar candidate for this state by calculating the mass value in our…

In this work, we perform a systematic investigation of the hidden-charm tetraquark states with $I^G(J^{PC})=1^+(1^{+-})$ within the hadronic molecular picture, placing particular emphasis on systems composed of an $S$-wave $(D, D^*)$ meson…
