We study in the framework of a constituent quark model the possible contributions of molecular structures to the XYZ charmonium like states. We analyze simultaneously the $c\bar{c}$ structures and the possible molecular components in a…
The two exotic $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ discovered in $2015$ by the LHCb Collaboration, together with the four resonances $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$, reported in $2016$ by the same collaboration, are described in a…
In this work, we adopt the one-boson exchange model to analyze the $D^{(*)}_{(s)}B^{(*)}_{(s)}$ interactions from a coupled-channel perspective. For the $I(J^{P})=1(1^{+})$ $DB^{*}/D^*B/D^*B^{*}$ system, employing the complex scaling…
Recently, a charmonium $X(3960)$ in $B$ decays in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ invariant-mass spectrum is discovered by the LHCb Collaboration with the quantum number $J^{PC}=0^{++}$. Motivated by the discovery, in this work, we systematically…
We search, for the first time, for an exotic molecular state with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$, called $X$, via the process $e^{+}e^{-} \to \gamma D^{+}_{s} D_{s1}^{-}(2536) +c.c.$ using data samples corresponding to a luminosity of…
The discovery of the $X(3872)$ meant the revival of the heavy meson spectroscopy beyond naive $q\bar q$ structures. Once that the $SU(3)$ scheme, which was very useful in the dawn of the quark models, does not work for these states, one has…
We consider the $X(3872)$ resonance as a $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ $D\bar D^*$ hadronic molecule. According to heavy quark spin symmetry, there will exist a partner with quantum numbers $2^{++}$, $X_{2}$, which would be a $D^*\bar D^*$ loosely bound…
We explore the existence of $D \Xi$ and $D^* \Xi$ molecular states within the one boson exchange model. We regularize the potential derived in this model with a form factor and a cut-off of the order of $1\,{\rm GeV}$. To determine the…
We further explore the consequences of treating the X(3872) meson as a tetraquark bound state by analyzing its one-photon decay X => \gamma + J/psi in the framework of our approach developed in previous papers which incorporates quark…
An analysis including most recent Belle data on X(3872) is performed, using coupled channel Flatt\'e formula. A third sheet pole close to but \textit{below} $D^0D^{*0}$ threshold is found, besides the bound state/virtual state pole…
We have searched for exclusive production of exotic charmonia in the reaction $\mu^+~N \rightarrow \mu^+ (J\!/\!\psi\pi^+\pi^-)\pi^{\pm}~N'$ using COMPASS data collected with incoming muons of 160 GeV/$c$ and 200 GeV/$c$ momentum. In the…
Motivated by the recent discovery of the hidden charm exotic state with strangeness by the BESIII and LHCb Collaborations, we study the $S$ wave strange hidden bottom tetraquark in two kinds of quark models. Both meson-meson and…
The $D {\bar D}^*$ scattering amplitude and the production of the final states $\pi^+ \pi^- J/\psi$ and $\pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0 J/\psi$ near the $D^0 {\bar D}^{*0}$ threshold are discussed following the recent suggestion that the observed peaks…
Exotic charmonium-like states have been observed by various experiments over the last 15 years, but their nature is still under discussion. Photo-(muo)production is a new promising instrument to study them. COMPASS, a fixed target…
By describing the $X(3872)$ using the extended Friedrichs scheme, in which $D\bar D^*$ is the dominant component, we calculate the decay rates of the $X(3872)$ to $\pi^0$ and a $P$-wave charmonium $\chi_{cJ}$ state with $J=0,1$, or $2$, and…
We calculate the masses of $\chi_{\rm c}(2P)$ and $\chi_{\rm b}(3P)$ states with threshold corrections in a coupled-channel model. Here, the meson quarkonium core is augmented by higher Fock components due to pair-creation effects.…
We investigate the doubly bottom state $T^-_{bb}$ composed of two bottom mesons with $J^P=1^+$. The potentials are obtained using the one-boson exchange model. With the heavy quark flavor symmetry, all the parameters in the model are…
We discuss the possibility and the description of bound states between $B$ and $\bar{B}^*$ mesons. We argue that the existence of such a bound state can be deduced from (i) the weakly bound X(3872) state, (ii) certain assumptions about the…
We use the leading order (LO) contact interactions and OPE potentials to investigate the newly observed double-charm state $T_{cc}^+$. The $DD\pi$ three-body effect is important in this system since the intermediate states can go on shell.…
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…
