A recent analysis by the LHCb collaboration suggests the existence of three narrow pentaquark-like states --- the $P_c(4312)$,$P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ --- instead of just one in the previous analysis (the $P_c(4450)$). The closeness of…
The interactions of $\bar{D}^{(*)} \Lambda_c - \bar{D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ are studied within the framework of a dynamical coupled-channel approach. A series of bound states and resonances with different spin and parity are dynamically…
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…
The recent LHCb discovery of states $P_c^+(4380)$, $P_c^+(4450)$, believed to be $c\bar c uud$ pentaquark resonances, begs the question of whether equivalent states with $c\bar c \to s\bar s$ exist, and how they might be produced. The…
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 $J^{PC}=0^{++}$, $1^{+-}$,…
The spins of the pentaquark states $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ play a decisive role in unraveling their nature, but remain undetermined experimentally. Assuming that they are $\Sigma_c\bar{D}^{*}$ bound states, we demonstrate how one can…
We investigate the consequences of heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS) on hidden-charm pentaquark $P_c$ states. As has been proposed before, assuming the $P_c(4440)$ and the $P_c(4457)$ as $S$-wave $\bar{D}^*\Sigma_c$ molecules, seven hadronic…
The hidden-charmed pentaquark $P_c(4450)$ and the charmonium-like state $Y(4274)$ are investigated as a $\bar{D}^*\Sigma_c$ and a $D_s\bar{D}_{s0}(2317)$ molecular state, respectively. The spin parities of these two states cannot be well…
Within the framework of the local hidden gauge formalism, we have reanalyzed the hidden-charm vector-vector meson $D^*\bar{D}^*$, $K^*\bar{K}^*$, and $\rho\rho$ interactions with the quantum numbers $I(J^P)=1(1^+)$. The estimation indicates…
Very recently a new hadronic structure around $3.98$ GeV was observed in BESIII experiment. From its decay modes, it is reasonable for people to assign it to the category of exotic state, say $Z^+_{cs}$, the stranged-parter of…
The mass, current coupling, and width of the doubly charmed four-quark meson $T_{cc}^{+}$ are explored by treating it as a hadronic molecule $ M_{cc}^{+}\equiv D^{0}D^{\ast +}$. The mass and current coupling of this molecule are calculated…
We review our results on $Z_{c}$-like states[1] which we complete with the ones on $Z_{b}$-like states by using relativistic QCD Laplace Sum Rules (LSR) within stability criteria and including Factorized Next-to-Leading Order (FNLO)…
In the present work, considering the conservation of isospin in the strong decays, we investigate the strong decays of the pentaquark molecule candidate $P_c(4312)$ and its possible higher isospin cousin $P_c(4330)$ in the framework of the…
In the present work, the doubly-charm and doubly-bottom pentaquark molecular states $D^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ and $B^{(*)}\Sigma_b^{(*)}$ are studied via the QCD sum rules. Sixteen color singlet-singlet type currents with the definite…
A search for hidden-charm pentaquark states decaying to a range of $\Sigma_{c}\bar{D}$ and $\Lambda_{c}\bar{D}$ final states, as well as doubly-charmed pentaquark states to $\Sigma_{c}D$ and $\Lambda_{c}^{+}D$, is made using samples of…
We use the method of QCD sum rules to study the $D$-wave charmed and bottom baryons of the $SU(3)$ flavor $\mathbf{6}_F$, and calculate their masses up to the order $\mathcal{O}(1/m_Q)$ with $m_Q$ the heavy quark mass. Our results suggest…
In the past years there has been a revival of hadron spectroscopy. Many interesting new hadron states were discovered experimentally, some of which do not fit easily into the quark model. This situation motivated a vigorous theoretical…
The s-wave scattering of $\Sigma_c \bar{D}$ and $\Sigma_c \bar{D}^*$ in the $I(J^P) = \frac{1}{2}(\frac{1}{2}^-)$ channel is calculated in lattice QCD using two ensembles with different volumes but the same lattice spacing $a\sim…
We develop a model for the production of the Pc states observed at LHCb in Lambdab - Jpsi p K- decays. With fewer parameters than other approaches, we obtain excellent fits to the Jpsi-p invariant mass spectrum, capturing both the prominent…
Using a new result for the first moment of the hadronic production cross section at order ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^3)$, and new data on the $J/\psi$ and $\psi'$ resonances for the charm quark, we determine the \msb masses of the charm and bottom…
