Within the framework of nonrelativistic QCD (NRQCD), we calculate the fragmentation function for a charm quark into an $S$-wave fully-charmed tetraquark, denoted as $T_{4c}$. The charm-to-$T_{4c}$ fragmentation function is expressed as a…

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…

Different from other multiple top-quark productions, triple top-quark production requires the presence of both flavor violating neutral interaction and flavor conserving neutral interaction. We describe the interaction of triple top-quarks…

Prompted by several potential tetraquark states that have been reported by the LHCb, CMS and ATLAS collaborations in the di-$J/\Psi$ and $J/\Psi \Psi(2S)$ spectra, we investigate their contribution to two-photon processes. Within a…

New vectorlike quarks have been proposed in many scenarios of new physics beyond the Standard Model, which address the hierarchy problem and may be potentially discovered at the Large Hadron Collider~(LHC). Based on a model-independent…

The recent discovery of the doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}$ ($\bar{u}\bar{d}cc$) provides a stringent constraint on its binding energy relative to its lowest decay threshold. We use a fully convergent spatial wave function and perform a…

Recently the LHCb collaboration has announced the discovery of the $T_{cc}^+$ tetraquark. Being merely a few hundred ${\rm keV}$ below the $D^{*+} D^0$ threshold, the $T_{cc}^+$ is expected to have a molecular component, for which there is…

In this paper, we analyze the $1 \rightarrow 4$ decay channel for the production of doubly heavy quarkonium, $(b\bar{c})$ or $(c\bar{c})$, via top-quark decays, $t \to (b\bar{c}) + c + c + \bar{s}$ and $t \to (c\bar{c}) + b + c + \bar{s}$,…

Heavy vector-like quarks of charge $-1/3$, $B$, have been searched for at the LHC through the decays $B\rightarrow bZ,\, bh,\,tW$. In models where the $B$ quark also carries charge under a new gauge group, new decay channels may dominate.…

Recently a novel hadronic state of mass 6.9 GeV, that decays mainly to a pair of charmonia, was observed in LHCb. The data also reveals a broader structure centered around 6490 MeV and suggests another unconfirmed resonance centered at…

The triply heavy baryons in the standard model formed in direct $c$ and $b$ quark fragmentation are the $\Omega_{ccc}$, $\Omega_{ccb}$, $\Omega_{cbb}$ and $\Omega_{bbb}$ baryons. We calculate their fragmentation functions in leading order…

The doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}$ has been reported by the LHCb experiment in 2022, and a lot of theoretical studies has been conducted. The small binding energy measured from $D^{\ast + }D^0$ threshold indicates that $T_{cc}$ is a…

Although the top quark has been discovered in 1995 and studied extensively by the Tevatron experiments, the top quark will remain special for years to come due to unique opportunities it offers. Because of the large top-antitop production…
