Exotic quarkonia are candidates to new types of hadrons including four quarks or gluonic degrees of freedom as constituents, the latter being a unique feature of QCD. We review recent developments in nonrelativistic EFTs to describe exotic…
The assumption that the newly observed charged bottomonia states Z_b(10610) and Z_b(10650) are of molecular nature is confronted with the measured invariant mass distributions for the transitions of the Upsilon(5S) to the final states h_b…
We study the anomalously large rates of some hadronic transitions observed in heavy quarkonia using a constituent quark model which has been successful in describing meson and baryon phenomenology. QCD multipole expansion (QCDME) is used to…
An effective hamiltonian for heavy quarkonia is derived from QCD by separating gluonic fields in background and quantum fields and neglecting anharmonic contributions. Mesonic states with nonperturbative gluonic components are constructed.…
The recent observation and measurement of the decay $Z_c(3900) \to \rho \eta_c$ provides the data on the relative strength of the pion and $\rho$ coupling in the corresponding transitions between exotic resonances and pure heavy quarkonium.…
The conventional wisdom in dealing with electromagnetic transition between heavy quarkonia is the multipole expansion, when the emitted photon has a typical energy of order quarkonium binding energy. Nevertheless, in the case when the…
The $B$-factories and Large Hadron Collider experiments have demonstrated the ability to observe and measure the properties of bottomonium mesons. In order to discover missing states it is useful to know their properties to develop a…
We investigate the production and absorption of $Z_b (10610)$ and $Z_b ^{\prime}(10650)$ states in a hadronic medium, via the processes $\bar{B}^{(*)} B^{(*)} \rightarrow \pi Z_b ^{(\prime)} $ and the corresponding inverses reactions. We…
We study prompt hadroproduction of the charged bottomonium-like states $Z_b^\pm (10610)$ and $Z_b^\pm (10650)$, and the charged charmonium-like states $Z_c^\pm (3900)$ and $Z_c^\pm (4020)$, at the Tevatron and the LHC, provided that these…
In this work we use the low-energy EFT called potential non-relativistic QCD (pNRQCD) to calculate the partial decay width of different $b\bar{b}$-states undergoing an electric dipole transition at next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO).…
We study higher-order QCD corrections for the production of a top-antitop quark pair ($t{\bar t}$ production) at the Large Hadron Collider in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. We consider effects of new physics parametrized by the…
We present a quenched calculation of lowest bottomonium hybrid states on an anisotropic lattice with Landau mean-link tadpole improvement, using the improved NRQCD Hamiltonian. We investigate the quark-spin s=0,1 sectors, which contain both…
Within the framework of dispersion theory, we analyze the dipion transitions between the lightest $\Upsilon$ states, $\Upsilon(nS) \rightarrow \Upsilon(mS) \pi\pi$ with $m < n \leq 3$. In particular, we consider the possible effects of two…
We report on a recent investigation on heavy quarkonium hybrids that goes beyond the usual Born-Oppenheimer approximation by including not only the mixing between nearby hybrid states but also the mixing with quarkonium states. We use a…
The quark (gluon)-hadron duality constitutes a basis for the theoretical treatment of a wide range of inclusive processes -- from hadronic \tau decays and R_{e^+e^-}, to semileptonic and nonleptonic decay rates of heavy flavor hadrons. A…
Hidden-heavy hadrons can decay into pairs of heavy hadrons through transitions from confining Born-Oppenheimer potentials to hadron-pair potentials with the same Born-Oppenheimer quantum numbers. The transitions are also constrained by…
A number of charmonium- and bottomonium-like meson states have been observed that have properties that do not match well to expectations for the simple quark-antiquark substructure suggested by the constituent quark model. Some of them are…
We study the bottomonium spectrum in the nonrelativistic quark model with the coupled-channel effects. The mass shifts and valence $b\bar{b}$ component are evaluated to be rather large. We find that the hadronic loop effects can be…
In the medium of relativistic heavy-ion collisions, dissociation of the quarkonium and their survival have been studied to understand the properties of Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). The coupled rates of dissociation and recombination reactions…
We report on a study of heavy hybrid states using the NRQCD approach on coarse and asymmetric lattices, where we discard vacuum polarisation effects and neglect all spin-correction terms. We find a clear hybrid signal on all our lattices…
