The photoproduction of the $J/\psi$ off the proton is believed to deepen our understanding of various physics issues. On the one hand, it is proposed to provide access to the origin of the proton mass, based on the QCD multipole expansion.…

We study the near-threshold $J/\psi$ meson production on protons and nuclei by considering incoherent direct non-resonant $K^-p \to {J/\psi}\Lambda$ and two-step resonant ${K^-}p \to P_{cs}(4459)^0 \to {J/\psi}\Lambda$ charmonium production…

Recently, the experimental results of LHCb Collaboration suggested the existence of five new excited states of $\Omega_c^0$, $\Omega_c(3000)^0$, $\Omega_c(3050)^0$, $\Omega_c(3066)^0$, $\Omega_c(3090)^0$ and $\Omega_c(3119)^0$, the quantum…

We review and discuss the experimental evidence on predicted baryonic states made by 4 quarks and one antiquark, called pentaquarks. Theoretical and experimental advances in the last few years led to the observation of pentaquark candidates…

First evidence of a structure in the $J/\psi \varLambda$ invariant mass distribution is obtained from an amplitude analysis of $\varXi_b^- \to J/\psi \varLambda K^-$ decays. The observed structure is consistent with being due to a…

By assuming SU(6)_cs symmetry for pentaquark decays one finds a selection rule, which strongly reduces the number of states able to decay into a baryon and a meson final state and allows an intriguing identification for the Theta^+ particle…

The three pentaquark states, $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$, and $P_{c}(4457)$, discovered by the LHCb Collaboration in 2019, can be nicely arranged into a multiplet of $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)}$ of seven molecules dictated by…

We study the near-threshold $J/\psi$ meson photoproduction from protons and nuclei by considering incoherent direct non-resonant (${\gamma}p \to {J/\psi}p$, ${\gamma}n \to {J/\psi}n$) and two-step resonant (${\gamma}p \to P_{ci}^+ \to…

The $P_c(4380)^+$ and $P_c(4450)^+$ states recently discovered at LHCb have masses close to several relevant thresholds, which suggests they can be described in terms of meson-baryon degrees of freedom. This article explores the…

The constituent quark model with color-spin hyperfine potential is used to investigate the property of a compact pentaquark configuration with $J^p$=$3/2^-$ and isospin=1/2, which is the most likely quantum number of one of the recently…

There may exist seven $\bar D^{(*)} \Sigma_c^{(*)}$ hadronic molecular states. We construct their corresponding interpolating currents, and calculate their masses and decay constants using QCD sum rules. Based on these results, we calculate…

Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported three $P_c$ states in the ${J/\psi}p$ channel. We systematically study the mass spectrum of the hidden charm pentaquark in the framework of an extended chromomagnetic model. For the $nnnc\bar{c}$…

We argue that a hidden-charm pentaquark recently observed in weak decays of $\Lambda_{b}$ can be produced in proton-nucleus collisions without electroweak intermediaries. We analyze the production cross-section for several scenarios of…

Recent evidence for the existence of pentaquark $\Theta^+$ particle from several experiments at several different laboratories around the world has caused great excitement and raised many unanswered questions. We discuss a new proposal on a…

The newly confirmed pentaquark state $P_c(4312)$ has been treated as a weakly bound $(\Sigma_c\bar{D})$ state by a well-established chiral constituent quark model and by a dynamical calculation on quark degrees of freedom where the quark…

We study strong decays of the possible fully-charm tetraquarks recently observed by LHCb, and calculate their relative branching ratios through the Fierz rearrangement. Together with our previous QCD sum rule study [Phys. Lett. B 773, 247…

Ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) of protons and nuclei are important for the study of the photoproduction of vector mesons and exotic states. The photoproduction of vector mesons in the pentaquark resonance channel in $p\mbox{-}Au$ UPCs at…

We investigate the $J/\psi$ + c + $\bar{c}$ photoproduction in $e^+ e^-$ collision at the LEP II energy. The physical motivations for this study are: 1) such next-to-leading order(NLO) process was not considered in previous investigations…
