We have studied the mass spectra of the P-wave fully charm and fully bottom tetraquark states in the framework of QCD sum rules. We construct the interpolating currents by inserting the covariant derivative operator $\overset{…
In the framework of the improved chromomagnetic interaction model, we complete a systematic study of the $S$-wave tetraquark states $Qq\bar{Q}\bar{q}$ ($Q=c,b$, and $q=u,d,s$) with different quantum numbers, $J^{PC}=0^{+(+)}$, $1^{+(\pm)}$,…
We study the three-body $\Lambda_b$ decays of $\Lambda_b\to J/\psi pM$ with $M=K^-$ and $\pi^-$. The two new states ${\cal P}_{c1}\equiv {\cal P}_c(4380)^+$ and ${\cal P}_{c2}\equiv {\cal P}_c(4450)^+$ observed recently as the resonances in…
We investigate the possible existence of double-strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark states, denoted as $P_{c\bar{c}ss}$, within an off-shell coupled-channel formalism. Eleven meson-baryon channels with total strangeness $S = -2$ are…
We have studied the meson-baryon $S-$wave interaction, using coupled channels, in the isoscalar hidden-charm strange sector and $J^P = 1/2^-,3/2^-$ and $5/2^-$. We impose constraints of heavy quark spin symmetry in the interaction and…
In two recent papers, we used the hadro-quarkonium model to study the properties of hidden-charm and bottom tetraquarks and pentaquarks. Here, we extend the previous results and calculate the masses of heavy-quarkonium-kaon/hyperon systems.…
I develop an extension of the usual three-flavor quark model to four flavors (u, d, s and c), and discuss the classification of pentaquark states with hidden charm. This work is motivated by the recent observation of such states by the LHCb…
We investigate the neutral hidden charm pentaquark states $P_c^0(4380)$ and $P_c^0(4450)$ in $\pi^-p \to J/\psi n$ reaction within an effective Lagrangian approach. The background contributions for the process mainly come from $t$-channel…
The pentaquark $P_c^+(4450)$ recently discovered by LHCb has been interpreted as a bound state of $\Psi(2S)$ and nucleon. The charmonium-nucleon interaction which provides the binding mechanism is given, in the heavy quark limit, in terms…
Inspired by the observed $X(2900)$, we study systematically the mass spectra of the ground pentaquark states with the $qqqq\bar{Q}$ ($Q=c,b$; $q=n,s$; $n=u,d$) configuration in the framework of the Chromomagnetic Interaction model. We…
One of the celebrated tools in explaining the Hydrogen atom is Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The resemblance of $QQ\bar{q}\bar{q}$ tetraquarks to Hydrogen atom within Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) implies usage of Born-Oppenheimer…
In the present work, we construct the diquark-antidiquark type four-quark currents to investigate the mass spectrum of the ground state hidden-charm-hidden-strange tetraquark states with the quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{++}$, $1^{+-}$,…
In this article, we investigate the $\bar{D}\Sigma_c$, $\bar{D}\Xi^\prime_c$, $\bar{D}\Sigma_c^*$, $\bar{D}\Xi_c^*$, $\bar{D}^{*}\Sigma_c$, $\bar{D}^{*}\Xi^\prime_c$, $\bar{D}^{*}\Sigma_c^*$ and $\bar{D}^{*}\Xi_c^*$ pentaquark molecular…
Assuming that the recently observed hidden-charm pentaquark state, $P_c(4450)$, is of molecular nature as predicted in the unitary approach, we propose to study the decay of $\Xi^-_b\rightarrow J/\psi K^- \Lambda$ to search for the…
A new type of charm pentaquark $P_{cs}$ with quark content $c\bar{c}uds$ in light-flavor singlet state is studied in the quark model. This state is analogous to the $P_{c}$ with $c\bar{c}uud$ in light-flavor octet, which was observed in LHC…
A coupled-channel approach including the $\Lambda_c\bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $\eta_c p$ channels in addition to the $\Sigma_c^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $J/\psi p$ channels, as required by unitarity and heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS), is applied to…

The decay behavior of an exotic state can be used to probe its internal structure. We note that the hidden-charm pentaquark states, $P_{\psi}^{N}(4312)$, $P_{\psi}^{N}(4440)$, and $P_{\psi}^{N}(4457)$, have only been observed in the $J/\psi…
