Recently the LHCb Collaboration announced the first observation of nontrivial structures in the double-$J/\psi$ mass spectrum in the mass range 6.2-7.2 GeV, and a theoretical coupled-channel analysis of these data performed in Phys. Rev.…
In this work we study the mass spectra of the fully-heavy tetraquark systems, i.e. $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$, $bb\bar{b}\bar{b}$, $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}/cc\bar{b}\bar{b}$, $bc\bar{c}\bar{c}/cc\bar{b}\bar{c}$, $bc\bar{b}\bar{b}/bb\bar{b}\bar{c}$, and…
Motivated by the recently observation of the tetraquark $T_{cc}^+ $ state, in this work I revisit the Heavy-Meson Effective Theory to perform a simplified field-theoretical study of possible deuteron-like $D^{(\ast)} D ^{(\ast)},…
In this work we investigate the possible emergence of Efimov states in the $D^*D^*D^*$ system with $J^P=0^-$ and isospin $I=\tfrac{1}{2}$, assuming the existence of the heavy partner of the $T_{cc}^+$, dubbed $T_{cc}^*$, near the $D^*D^*$…
We use lattice QCD to investigate the existence of strong-interaction-stable antiheavy-antiheavy-light-light tetraquarks. We study the $\bar b \bar b u s$ system with quantum numbers $J^P = 1^+$ as well as the $\bar b \bar c u d$ systems…
Stimulated by the observation of the $X(6900)$ from LHCb in 2020 and the recent results from CMS and ATLAS in the di-$J/\psi$ invariant mass spectrum, in this work we systemically study all possible configurations for the ground fully heavy…
We present our recent results on antiheavy-antiheavy-light-light tetraquark systems using lattice QCD. Our study of the $ \bar{b}\bar{b}us $ four-quark system with quantum numbers $ J^P=1^+ $ and the $ \bar{b}\bar{c}ud $ four-quark systems…
The LHCb Collaboration announced in 2021 the discovery of a new tetraquark-like state, named $T_{cc}^+$, with minimum quark content $cc\bar u\bar d$, close to the $D^0D^{*+}$ threshold. This has motivated countless theoretical works trying…
We investigate the possibility of $qq^\prime \bar b \bar b$ tetraquark bound states using $n_f=2+1$ lattice QCD ensembles with pion masses $\simeq 164$, $299$, and $415$ MeV. Motivated by observations from heavy baryon phenomenology, we…
Motivated by the latest discovery of doubly-charmed tetraquark $T^+_{cc}$ by LHCb collaboration, we have studied the magnetic moments of the possible doubly-heavy pentaquark states with quantum numbers $J^P = 1/2^-$ and $J^P = 3/2^-$ within…
The number of exotic candidates which are beyond the conventional quark model has grown dramatically during the last decades. Some of them could be viewed as analogues of the deuteron. Similarly, the existence of the triton indicates that…
Spectrum of the low-lying hidden- and double-charm tetraquark states are investigated in a nonrelativistic quark potential model, where the Instanton-induced interaction is taken as the residual spin-dependent hyperfine interaction between…
The recent experimental results of LHCb collaboration suggested the existence of pentaquark states with charmonium. To understand the structure of the states, a dynamical calculation of 5-quark systems with quantum numbers…
Heavy flavor hadrons, especially doubly heavy baryons and doubly heavy tetraquarks, have always received extensive attention in theoretical and experimental research. Given the separation of quark masses $m_Q \gg m_q$ ($Q = c, b$ and $q =…
The low-lying bottomonium-like tetraquarks $b\bar{b}q\bar{q}$ $(q=u,\,d,\,s)$ with spin-parity $J^P=0^+$, $1^+$ and $2^+$, and isospin $I=0,\,1$ or $\frac{1}{2}$, are systematically investigated within the theoretical framework of real- and…
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 this work we study tetraquark bound states in the framework of the constituent quark model of Ref. [2], which has been used for the description of non-strange two- and three-baryon systems and later on applied to the hadron spectra.
We combine lattice QCD results for the potential of two static antiquarks in the presence of two quarks $q q$ of finite mass and quark model techniques to study possibly existing $q q \bar{b} \bar{b}$ tetraquarks. While there is strong…
Using the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we show that exotic resonances, X and Z, may emerge as QCD molecular objects made of colored two-quark lumps, states with heavy-light diquarks spatially separated from antidiquarks. With the same…
Studying scattering of heavy flavor hadrons and looking for bound states is shown to give experimental information otherwise unobtainable about effective two-body interactions between constituent $(qq)_6$ and $(\bar qq)_8$ pairs…
