Exotic hadrons are important because their existence or absence can provide important clues to understanding how QCD makes hadrons from quarks and gluons. The first experimentally confirmed exotic will be the first hadron containing both…
A mechanism of the heavy quark dominance in the orbital excitation is proposed in this paper which is testified to be reasonable for singly and doubly heavy baryons. In the relativistic quark model, an analysis of the Hamiltonian figures…
We speculate about a heavy bottom-charm six-quark baryon. A semiclassical and a gaussian estimate reveal that the octet-octet bbb-ccc configuration can be energetically favored with respect to the singlet-singlet one. This result suggests…
We determine the masses and residues of the ground and excited spin-$\frac {1}{2} $ baryons consist of two heavy b or c quark utilizing the QCD sum rule formalism. In the calculations, we consider the nonperturbative operators up to ten…
Masses, magnetic moments and color-spin structures of nonstrange and strange tetraquarks with two heavy quarks are systematically studied in QCD string picture with chromomagnetic interaction. Our mass computations combined with weak and…
Baryons of the type Qqqqq-bar (where Q = c,b and q = u,d,s quarks) forming anti-decapenta (15)-plets with spin-parity one half-plus are predicted on simple theoretical considerations. The lightest members of these multiplets are explicitly…
We evaluate the masses of baryons composed of two heavy quarks and a strange quark with account for spin-dependent splittings in the framework of potential model with the KKO potential motivated by QCD with a three-loop beta-function for…
In this study, the spectroscopic parameters of the exotic molecular states composed of mesons containing two heavy quarks (scalar-axial and pseudoscalar-axial meson combinations) are investigated within QCD sum rules. Our findings reveal…
Hadrons, composed of quarks and gluons bound by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), traditionally classified as baryons (three quarks) and mesons (quark-antiquark pairs). Nothing in the theory of QCD stands against the existence of exotic hadrons…
In the heavy-quark limit, the two heavy quarks in a doubly heavy baryon or a doubly heavy tetraquark are bound by their color-Coulomb potential into a compact diquark. The doubly heavy hadrons are related by the approximate…
In the present work, the triply heavy tetraquarks states $QQ\bar{Q}\bar{q}$ with $Q=(c, b)$ and $q=(u, d, s)$ with all possible quantum numbers are systematically investigated in the framework of the chiral quark model with the resonance…
We determine the energies of the excited states of a heavy-light meson $Q\bar{q}$, with a static heavy quark and light quark with mass approximately that of the strange quark from both quenched lattices and with dynamical fermions. We are…
We extend the $D4$-$D8$ holographic construction to include three chiral and one heavy flavor, to describe heavy-light baryons with strangeness and their exotics. At strong coupling, the heavy meson always binds to the bulk instanton in the…
For many decades after the invention of the quark model in 1964 there was no evidence that hadrons are formed from anything other than the simplest pairings of quarks and antiquarks, mesons being formed of a quark-antiquark pair and baryons…
With the discovery of a doubly charmed $\Xi_{cc}$ baryon a somewhat forgotten issue of tetraquarks containing two heavy and two light (anti) quarks, ${\cal T}_{QQ}$, triggered theorist's interest. We discuss quark model estimates of ${\cal…
It is shown that standard constituent quark models produce $(\bar c c qqq)$ hidden-charm pentaquarks, where $c$ denotes the charmed quark and $q$ a light quark, which lie below the lowest threshold for spontaneous dissociation and thus are…
In this work we study the possible QCD exotic states in the doubly charmed baryon sector. Within chiral effective theory, it is predicted that several excited baryons result from the $S$-wave scattering of ground-state doubly charmed…
We perform a constituent quark model analysis for the masses of the doubly heavy tetraquark states $T_{QQ}$ after we fix the parameters to fit the masses of the newly observed $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ and hadrons involving heavy quarks relevant to…
We study hadronic molecules formed by a heavy meson and a nucleon, DN and D*N (BbarN and Bbar*N) systems. Respecting the heavy quark symmetry and chiral symmetry, we consider the DN-D*N (BbarN-Bbar*N$) mixing induced by the one boson…
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…
