The recent measurement results of exotic charmonium-like states, the so called XYZ particles, at BESIII have been presented. I mainly discussed the charged Zc(3900) state, its neutral partner, and possible excited states.
Recently five $\Omega_c$ excited states have been reported by the LHCb Collaboration, four of them corroborated by Belle. The Belle Collaboration has also discovered in 2017 one excited $\Xi_c$ with mass of 2930 MeV. In view of these recent…
Since LEPS collaboration reported the first evidence of $\Theta^+$ pentaquark in early 2003, eleven other experimental groups have confirmed this exotic state while many other groups didn't see any signal. If this state is further…
The quark model does not exclude states composed of more than three quarks, like pentaquark systems. Controversial evidence for such states has been published in the last years, in particular: for a strange pentaquark Theta(1540)+; for a…
If the Theta^+(1540) is interpreted as a bound state of a $\bar s$ quark and two (ud) diquarks in a relative P-wave, then it is very likely that there exist pentaquark states with a heavy antiquark, $\bar b$ or $\bar c$, and two ``light''…
Recently, some progresses have been made on the double-heavy tetraquarks in the experiments, such as $T_{cc}$ reported by LHCb Collaboration, and $X_{cc\bar{s}\bar{s}}$ reported by the Belle Collaboration. Coming on the heels of our…
Motivated by the discovery of the fully charmed tetraquark state $X(6900)$ in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$ pairs by the LHCb collaboration, this study explores the potential existence of fully heavy pentaquark states. We…
Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a fully charmed tetraquark state $X(6900)$ in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$ pairs. If one $J/\psi$ meson is replaced with a fully charmed baryon, we obtain a fully charmed pentaquark…
We study the possibility that four $\Xi$ resonances $(\Xi(1620)$, $\Xi(1690)$, $\Xi(1820)$, $\Xi(1950))$ could correspond to pentaquark states, in the form of meson-baryon bound systems. We also explore the possible existence of doubly…
QCD-motivated models for hadrons predict an assortment of "exotic" hadrons that have structures that are more complex then the quark-antiquark mesons and three-quark baryons of the original quark-parton model. These include pentaquark…
We review the experimental progress on the study of light and heavy hadrons and focus on recent discoveries of the XYZ states, pentaquark states, $T_{cs}$ and $T_{cc}$ states in the heavy hadron sector, and on the $\pi_1(1600)$ and the…
The XYZ mesons are unexpected mesons containing a heavy quark-antiquark pair that have been discovered during the last decade. The models for the XYZ mesons that have been proposed include conventional quarkonium, quarkonium hybrids, and…
The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider at KEK, Tsukuba, Japan, is recording data since 2018. The expected high luminosity of $\mathcal{L}=8\cdot 10^{35}~$cm$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ enables searches for yet unobserved…
The exciting discovery by LHCb of the $P_c(4312)^+$ and $P_c(4450)^+$ pentaquarks, or the suggestion of a tetraquark nature for the $Z_c(3900)$ state seen at BESIII and Belle, have triggered a lot of activity in the field of hadron physics,…
Charmonium, the spectroscopy of c\bar{c} mesons, has recently enjoyed a renaissance with the discovery of several missing states and a number of unexpected charmonium-like resonances. The discovery of these new states has been made possible…
The continuous advancement of experimental techniques and investigations has led to observations of various exotic states in particle physics. Each addition to this family of states not only raises expectations for future discoveries but…
Based on the fact that the long expected pentaquark which possesses the exotic quantum numbers of $B=1$ and $S=1$ was not experimentally found, although exotic states of $XYZ$ have been observed recently, we conjecture that the heavy…
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…
Recent spectroscopy studies performed in high energy ep collisions by the H1 and ZEUS Collaborations are described. The status of the searches for the strange pentaquark, the Theta+, is presented as well as results on searches for further…
The Belle II experiment at the SuperKEKB energy-asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider is an upgrade of the B factory facility at KEK in Tsukuba, Japan. The experiment began operation in 2019 and aims to record a factor of 50 times more data than its…
