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 study the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ state recently observed by the BESIII Collaboration in the one-boson-exchange model, assuming that it is a $\bar{D}_s^{(*)}D^{(*)}$ molecule, which has the quark content $c\bar{c}s\bar{q}$ with $q = u$, $d$. It…
In a recent paper, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 126}, 132001 (2021), the LHCb data on the di-$J/\psi$ production in proton-proton collisions were analysed in a coupled-channel framework based on double-vector-charmonium channels. This…
Baryons containing two heavy quarks are important and interesting systems to study the quark-diquark structure of baryons and to understand the dynamics of QCD at hadronic scale. The Selex Collaboration has recently reported the discovery…
Using proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies $7$, $8$, and $13$ TeV, with a total integrated luminosity of $9\,\text{fb}^{-1}$, the LHCb collaboration has performed amplitude analyses of the $B^+\to D^+D^-K^+$, $B^+\to D^-…
A coupled-channel approach including the $\Lambda_c\bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $\eta_c p$ channels in addition to the $\Sigma_c^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $J/\psi p$ channels, as required by unitarity and heavy quark spin symmetry (HQSS), is applied to…
Recently the LHCb collaboration has observed a new pentaquark state, the $P_c(4337)^+$. Owing to its proximity to the $\chi_{c0}(1S) p$, $\bar{D}^* \Lambda_c$, $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ and $\bar{D} \Sigma_c^*$ thresholds, this new pentaquark…
An amplitude analysis of the $B^+\to D_s^+ D_s^- K^+$ decay is carried out to study for the first time its intermediate resonant contributions, using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies…
Flavor-exotic tetraquark mesons have recently been observed in the heavy-quark pair sectors of QCD, including two isospin multiplets in the b b-bar sector, Z_b(10610) and Z_b(10650), and one isospin multiplet in the c c-bar sector,…
Motivated by the first observation of the double-charm tetraquark $T_{cc}^+(3875)$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we investigate the nature of $T_{cc}^+$ as an isoscalar $DD^*$ hadronic molecule in a meson-exchange potential model incorporated…
In this work we provide predictions for bottom-strange molecular states within the Hidden Gauge Formalism. We study the coupled-channel scattering of $B^{(*)}\bar{K}^{(*)}$ states and, by fixing only one free parameter to obtain the mass of…
Triangle and other kinematic singularities are very sensitive to the precise masses and widths of the intervening particles. Therefore, the effect that the heavy-ion collision medium can have on those masses and widths, as captured by…
We perform a coupled-channels study of the $bb\bar c\bar c$ and $bc\bar b\bar c$ tetraquark systems in a molecular approach using a constituent quark model which has been widely used to satisfactorily describe a broad range of properties of…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration has reported two strange hidden-charm pentaquark states named $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}(4459)$ and $P^\Lambda_{\psi s}(4338)$ in the $ J/\psi \Lambda$ invariant mass spectra of decays $\Xi_b^-$$\to$$ J/\psi…
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 mass, coupling and width of the newly observed charged resonance $ Z_{c}^{-}(4100)$ are calculated by treating it as a scalar four-quark system with a diquark-antidiquark structure. The mass and coupling of the state $ Z_{c}^{-}(4100)$…
In this article, we tentatively assign the $Z_c^\pm(3900)$ to be the diquark-antidiquark type axialvector tetraquark state, study the hadronic coupling constants $G_{Z_cJ/\psi\pi}$, $G_{Z_c\eta_c\rho}$, $G_{Z_cD \bar{D}^{*}}$ with the QCD…
Recently the Belle collaboration discovered two resonances, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), that lie very close to the B\bar{B}^* and B^*\bar{B}^* thresholds, respectively. It is natural to suppose that these are molecular states of bottom and…
