After the discovery of the double-charm baryon $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by LHCb, one of the most important topics is to search for the bottom-charm baryons which contain a $b$ quark, a $c$ quark and a light quark. In this work, we study the two-body…
The models for the internal structure of the newly found four-quark charmonium-like resonance $Z_c(3900)$ are discussed: the molecular model as well as the hadro-charmonium and tetraquark schemes. It is argued that it would be possible to…
The discovery of a new charged structure in the $K^+$ recoil-mass spectrum near the $D^-_s D^{*0}/D^{*-}_sD^0$ threshold, dubbed $Z_{cs}(3985)^-$, reinforce the idea that the structure of hadrons goes beyond the naive $qqq$ and the $q\bar…
We discuss the possibility that production of final states with bottomonium and light mesons at the peak $\Upsilon(6S)$ in the $e^+e^-$ annihilation at approximately 11.00 GeV is in fact due to a triangular singularity at the threshold of…
We have calculated the mass spectrum of $B_s$ mesons within a nonrelativistic potential model considering coupled channel effects, and the corresponding strong decay widths within the $^3P_0$ model using the numerically calculated wave…
We consider the properties of the ground state of bottomium. The $\Upsilon$ mass is evaluated to two loops, and including leading higher order [$O(\alpha_s^5\log\alpha_s)$] and $m_c^2/m_b^2$ corrections. This allows us to present updated…
Inspired by the newly reported $Z_{cs}(3985)^{-}$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we systematically investigate the strange hidden-charm tetraquark systems $cs\bar{c}\bar{u}$ with two structures: meson-meson and diquark-antidiquark. Two quark…
The mass of the bottom quark (both the pole mass $M_b$ and the $\MSb$ mass $m_b$) and the strong coupling constant $\alpha_s$ have been determined from QCD moment sum rules for the $\Upsilon$ system. In the pole-mass scheme large…
The strong decays of the low-lying $\lambda$-mode $\Lambda_b(1D,2S)$ and $\Sigma_b(2S)$ states are studied in a chiral quark model. We find that: (i) the newly observed $\Lambda_b(6146/6152)$ resonances in the $\Lambda_b\pi^+\pi^-$ spectrum…
In this contribution, we discuss our recent unquenched quark model results for the spectrum of $b \bar b$ mesons with self energy corrections, due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. Our unquenched quark model predictions for the…
The recent discovery of the $D_{s0}(2590)^+$ meson by the LHCb Collaboration has stimulated the analysis of meson-meson channels effects in the two-body quark-antiquark meson spectrum. This resonance, assigned to the radial excitation of…
We investigate the properties of dibaryons containing u and d quarks in the constituent quark model. In constructing the ground state wave function, we choose the spatial part to be fully symmetric and the remaining color, isospin and spin…
Recently, Belle\uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral2} Collaboration firstly reported a new resonance $\omega\chi_{bJ}$ in the processes of $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow \omega\chi_{bJ}$ at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s}=10.745$ GeV. Given the…
Stimulated by the exciting progress in experiments, we carry out a combined analysis of the masses, and strong and radiative decay properties of the $B$ and $B_s$-meson states up to the second orbital excitations. Based on our good…
We report the observation of two narrow structures in the mass spectra of the pi+-Y(nS) (n=1,2,3) and pi+-hb(mP)(m$ (m=1,2) pairs that are produced in association with a single charged pion in Y(5S) decays. The measured masses and widths of…
We study the implications of the heavy-quark spin symmetry for the possible spin partners of the exotic states $Z_b(10610)$ and $Z_b(10650)$ in the spectrum of bottomonium. We formulate and solve numerically the coupled-channel equations…
We perform the energy spectra calculating for the $S$-wave $\bar{Q}Q\bar{q}q$ (where $Q=c,b$ and $q=u,d,s$) system within two constituent quark models. The bound states of $B^*\bar{B}^*$ with $I(J^{PC})=1(0^{++}),~1(1^{+-}),~0(2^{++})$ and…
Among the newly observed structures in the heavy quarkonium mass region, some are proposed to be hadronic molecules. We investigate the consequences of heavy quark flavor symmetry on these heavy meson hadronic molecules. The symmetry allows…
The lightest hidden-bottom tetraquarks in the dynamical diquark model fill an $S$-wave multiplet consisting of 12 isomultiplets. We predict their masses and dominant bottomonium decay channels using a simple 3-parameter Hamiltonian that…
We analyze the decays of the theoretically predicted lowest bottomonium hybrid $H(1P)$ to open bottom two-meson states. We do it by embedding a quark pair creation model into the Born-Oppenheimer framework which allows for a unified,…
