Many mesons with properties incompatible with a $\bar cc$ structure have already been discovered, e.g. the $Z_c$ mesons with isospin 1. We investigate the spectrum of exotic charmonium-like mesons using lattice QCD. The focus is on $\bar cc…
In this paper it is proposed that the charged charmonium-like state $Z_c(3900)$ is a resonance above the threshold from the $D\bar{D}^*$ interaction. The $D\bar{D}^*$ interaction is described by the one-boson exchange model with light meson…
