Recent discoveries by Belle and BESIII of charged exotic quarkonium-like resonances provide fresh impetus for study of heavy exotic hadrons. In the limit N_c --> infinity, M_Q --> infinity, the (Qbar Q qbar q') tetraquarks (TQ-s) are…
The charmonium-like exotic states $Y(4230)$ and the less known $Y(4320)$, produced in $e^+e^-$ collisions, are sources of positive parity exotic hadrons in association with photons or pseudoscalar mesons. We analyze the radiative and pion…
We investigate the semileptonic decay of the scalar tetraquark $T_{bs; \overline{u}\overline{d}}^{-}$ to final state $T_{cs;\overline{u}\overline{d} }^{0} l \overline{\nu}_l$, which proceeds due to the weak transition $b \to c l…
In this paper, we choose the scalar and axialvector diquark operators in the color antitriplet as the fundamental building blocks to construct the four-quark currents and investigate the diquark-antidiquark type axialvector tetraquark…
We introduce the hypothesis that diquarks and antidiquarks in tetraquarks are separated by a potential barrier. We show that this notion can answer satisfactorily long standing questions challenging the diquark-antidiquark model of exotic…
We investigate the masses of $cs \bar c \bar s$ tetraquark states in a diquark-antidiquark picture employing the relativized quark model proposed by Godfrey and Isgur. Only the antitriplet diquark states in color space are calculated. The…
In this work, we propose to search for the exotic doubly charmed meson $T_{cc}^+$ and its analog $T_{cc\bar{s}}^+$ in $B_c^+$ decays, which provide a good environment for the formation of the exotic state containing double charm quarks.…
I introduce an entirely new dynamical description for exotic charmoniumlike hadrons, based upon the competing effects of the strong attraction between quarks in a diquark, and the inability of the diquark to hadronize on its own due to…
The heavy hadron spectrum is constrained by symmetries, of which two of the most important ones are heavy-quark spin and SU(3)-flavor symmetries. Here we argue that in the molecular picture the $Y(4230)$ (or $Y(4260)$), the $Y(4360)$ and…
Recent observations by Belle and BESIII of charged quarkonium-like resonances give new stimulus for theoretical investigation of exotic hadrons in general and heavy tetraquarks in particular. We use QED_2, a confining theory, as a model for…
During the last three years strong experimental evidence from $B$ and charm factories has been accumulating for the existence of exotic hadronic quarkonia, narrow resonances which cannot be made from a quark and an antiquark. Their masses…
We present a sum-rule extraction of heavy-meson decay constants from the two-point correlator of heavy-light pseudoscalar currents. Our main concern is to control the uncertainties of the decay constants, induced by both input QCD…
The strange pentaquarks with hidden heavy quark pair ($q^3c\bar c$ and $q^3b \bar b$) are investigated by the coupled-channel quark cluster model. Two types of the $q^3$ color-octet configurations are found to provide the attraction, which…
Exotic mesons with hidden strange ($s\bar s$) and heavy quark pairs ($Q\bar Q$), where $Q=c,b$, are considered as diquark-antidiquark systems, $(Qs)(\bar Q\bar s)$. Taking into account that these states can recombinate into two-meson ones,…
Understanding how quarks are spatially arranged inside exotic pentaquarks remains one of the key open problems in contemporary hadron spectroscopy. The electromagnetic multipole moments of hadrons provide a direct probe of their internal…
In this work, we investigate the exclusive decays of the fully heavy tetraquark states $T_{4c,b}$ into light mesons, specifically $\pi$ and $K$, using the framework of Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and collinear QCD factorization for hard…
We use QCD sum rules to study the possible existence of $QQ-\bar{u}\bar{d}$ mesons, assumed to be a state with $J^{P}=1^{+}$. For definiteness, we work with a current with an axial heavy diquark and a scalar light antidiquark, at leading…
I briefly review the history of exotic meson (4-quark) and baryon (5-quark) states, which is rooted in the formalism of Regge pole and duality. There are robust model-independent predictions for the exchange of 4-quark (Baryonium) Regge…
Motivated by the recent observations of $T^*_{cs0}(2870)^0$, $T^*_{c\bar s 0}(2900)^0$ and $T^*_{c\bar s 0}(2900)^{++}$ open-charmed tetraquark states by LHCb, we study the decays of heavy mesons to these open-charmed tetraquark states…
In the diquark-diantiquark composition, we study the masses of hidden charm tetraquark systems ($cq\bar{c}\bar{q}$, $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ and $cs\bar{c}\bar{q}$) using a linear confinement potential. In this study, we have factorized the four…
