Measurements from the LHCb experiment and $B$ factories have revealed several discrepancies in angular observables of rare semileptonic $B$ decays involving the quark-level transition $b \to s \ell^+ \ell^-$. In this work, we conduct a…

Recent LHCb experiments have shown us that there are two resonances in the $J/\psi p$ channel in the $\Lambda_b$ decay, whose spin and parity are most probably (3/2$^-$ 5/2$^+$). In this work, we investigate the $I(J^P)=1/2(1/2^-)$,…

The LHCb Collaboration has recently observed four $J/\psi\phi$ structures called $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$ in the $B^{+}\to J/\psi\phi K^{+}$ decays. We study them herein using a nonrelativistic constituent quark model…

New LHCb Collaboration results on pentaquarks with hidden charm [1] are discussed. These results fit nicely in the hadrocharmonium pentaquark scenario [2,3]. In the new data the old LHCb pentaquark $P_c(4450)$ splits into two states…

Recently observed spectrum of $P_c$ states exhibits a strong link to $\Sigma_c \bar{D}^{(*)}$ thresholds. In spite of successful molecular interpretations, we still push forward to wonder whether there exist finer structures. Utilizing the…

We study the decay of $\Lambda_b\to J/\psi\Lambda\phi$ by taking into account the intermediate resonances $X(4140)$, $X(4160)$, and $P_{cs}(4459)$. In addition to the peak of the $X(4140)$, we also find a bump structure around 4160 MeV…

The $J/\psi p$ signals at 4380 MeV and 4450 MeV which were seen by the LHCb collaboration in the decay $\Lambda^0_b\to K^-J/\psi p$ are discussed following the hypothesis of the existence of diquark-diquark-antiquark composite states. The…

We have systematically calculated the strong decays of the low-lying $\rho$-mode $1P$-wave $\Lambda_{c(b)}$, $\Sigma_{c(b)}$, $\Xi_{c(b)}$, $\Xi^{'}_{c(b)}$, $\Omega_{c(b)}$ baryons using the chiral quark model within the $j$-$j$ coupling…

More and more excited baryons have been reported experimentally, but many properties are still unclear. This work attempts to simultaneously study the masses and strong decay widths of some singly heavy baryons, in order to provide possible…

Using 58 million $J/\psi$ decays, we have investigated the $p \bar{p}$ invariant mass spectrum in the radiative decay $J/\psi \to \gamma p \bar{p}$ and observe a prominent structure with mass near $2m_p$. Fitting with an S-wave…

Some flavor SU(3) results are presented for decays of the $\Lambda_b$ baryon into non-charmed final states $PB$, where $P$ is a pseudoscalar mesons and $B$ is a spin-1/2 baryon. Although these relations are among amplitudes and hence not…

Stimulated by the newly observed $\Lambda_b(6146)^0$ and $\Lambda_b(6152)^0$ resonances, we investigate the strong decays of the low-lying singly bottom baryons within the quark pair creation model. Considering their masses and decay modes,…

The decays $ \Lambda_b^0 \to \psi(2S)pK^-$ and $ \Lambda_b^0 \to J/\psi \pi^+ \pi^- pK^-$ are observed in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3fb$^{-1}$, collected in proton-proton collisions at 7 and 8TeV…

We study strong decays of the possible fully-charm tetraquarks recently observed by LHCb, and calculate their relative branching ratios through the Fierz rearrangement. Together with our previous QCD sum rule study [Phys. Lett. B 773, 247…
