The $Z_{c}(3900)^\pm/Z_c(3885)^\pm$ and $Z_{c}(4020)^\pm$ are two charmonium-like structures discovered in the $\pi J/\psi$ and $D^\ast\bar D^{(\ast)}+h.c.$ invariant mass spectra. Their nature is puzzling due to their charge, which forces…
We have analyzed the singularities of a triangle loop integral in detail and derived a formula for an easy evaluation of the triangle singularity on the physical boundary. It is applied to the $\Lambda_b \rightarrow J/\psi K^{-} p$ process…
The LHCb collaboration has recently announced the discovery of two hidden-charm pentaquark states with also strange quark content, $P_{cs}(4338)$ and $P_{cs}(4459)$; its analysis points towards having both hadrons isospin equal to zero and…
The Z^+(4430) observed by Belle is explained naturally as a threshold cusp in the D*(2010)Dbar_1(2420) system.
Identifying the nature of near-threshold enhancements is hindered by the limited resolution of experimental data leading to multiple conflicting interpretations. A prominent example of ambiguous line shape is the set of pentaquark signals…
Exploration of the resonances $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z(4430)$ are performed by assuming that they are ground-state and first radial excitation of the same tetraquark with $J^{P}=1^{+}$. The mass and current coupling of the $ Z_c(3900)$ and…
The charmonium-like resonance $ Z_c(3900) $ and its excited state $ Z(4430) $ are among the particles that are serious candidates for double heavy tetraquarks. Calculations of different parameters associated with these states both in the…
We study the nature of the recently observed $P_{cs}(4459)$ by the LHCb collaboration by employing three methods based on the elastic effective-range expansion and the resulting size of the effective-range, the saturation of the…
A number of candidate multiquark hadrons, i.e., particle resonances with substructures that are more complex than the quark-antiquark mesons and three-quark baryons that are prescribed in the textbooks, have recently been observed. In this…
The nature of the three narrow $P_c$ states, i.e., $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$, is under intense discussion since their discovery from the updated analysis by LHCb. In this work we extend our previous coupled-channel approach…
We present evidence for the exotic charged charmonium-like state $Z_c^{\pm}(3900)$ in semi-inclusive weak decays of $b$-flavored hadrons. The signal is correlated with a $J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^-$ system in the invariant mass range 4.2$-$4.7~GeV…
The $Z^\pm_c(3900)/Z^\pm_c(3885)$ resonant structure has been experimentally observed in the $Y(4260) \to J/\psi \pi\pi$ and $Y(4260) \to \bar{D}^\ast D \pi$ decays. This structure is intriguing since it is a prominent candidate of an…
Different from the usual tetraquark assignment to charged $Z_c(3885)$ and $Z_c(4025)$ charmoniumlike structures, in this letter we propose a universal non-resonant explanation to decode these $Z_c$'s, which is based on a special dynamical…
Motivated by the analogous properties of the $Z_c(3900/3885)$ and $Z_{cs}(3985/4000)$, we tentatively assign the $Z_c(4020/4025)$ as the $A\bar{A}$-type hidden-charm tetraquark state with the $J^{PC}=1^{+-}$, where the $A$ denotes 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…
Exotic resonant structures found in $\Lambda^0_b$ and $\overline{B}^0$ decays into charmonium in the LHCb experiment are discussed. Examination of the $J/\psi p$ system in $\Lambda^0_b\to J/\psi K^- p$ decays shows two states each of which…
