In this work, we preform a systematic study of the strong decays for the higher singly heavy baryon resonances $\Lambda_Q(3S)$, $\Lambda_Q(2P)$, $\Lambda_Q(2D)$, $\Lambda_Q(1F)$, $\Sigma_Q(3S)$, $\Sigma_Q(2P)$, $\Sigma_Q(2D)$, and…
We study the newly reported hidden-charm pentaquark candidates $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ from the LHCb Collaboration, in the framework of the effective-range expansion and resonance compositeness relations. The scattering…
A $\Sigma^*$ state with spin-parity $J^P = 1/2^-$ with mass and width around $1380$ MeV and $120$ MeV, refereed to as the $\Sigma^*_{1/2^-}(1380)$, has been predicted in several pentaquark models and inferred from the analysis of CLAS…
We study the $\Xi_b(6100)$ using the methods of QCD sum rules and light-cone sum rules within the framework of heavy quark effective theory. Our results suggest that the $\Xi_b(6100)$ can be well interpreted as the $P$-wave bottom baryon of…
Considering the mass, parity and $D^0 p$ decay mode, we tentatively assign the $\Lambda_c(2940)$ as the $P-$wave states with one radial excitation. Then, via studying the strong decay behavior of the $\Lambda_c(2940)$ within the $^3P_0$…

An observation of the $\Lambda_b^0 \rightarrow \psi(2S) \Lambda^0$ decay and a comparison of its branching fraction with that of the $\Lambda_b^0 \rightarrow J/\psi \Lambda^0$ decay has been made with the ATLAS detector in proton--proton…
Based on the data samples collected at the energies of $J/\psi$, $\psi(3686)$, $\psi(3770)$ and $\psi(4040)$ resonances with the BESIII detector at the BEPCII storage ring, we present charmonium decays in two aspects. One is the search for…
In this study, by combining the equal spacing rule with recent observations of $\Omega_c(X)$ and $\Xi_c(X)$ baryons, we predict the spectrum of the low-lying $\lambda$-mode $1P$-wave excited $\Sigma_c$ states. Furthermore, their strong…
We investigate the interactions of the $(\bar{c}q)(\bar{c}q)$/$(ccq)(\bar{c}q)$/$(ccq)(ccq)$ di-hadron systems based on a contact lagrangian possessing the SU(3) flavor and SU(2) spin symmetries. Under the assumptions of two scenarios for…
We propose a new model to create a light meson in the heavy quarkonium transition, which is inspired by the Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model. Hadronic transitions of $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ higher charmonia with the emission of an $\eta$ meson are…
The decay $\Lambda_b^0 \to \Lambda_c^+ p \overline{p} \pi^-$ is observed using $pp$ collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies of $\sqrt{s}=$ 7 and 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3…
We systematically study the mass spectra of $S$-wave singly-heavy tetraquark states $Qq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ ($Q=c,b$; $q=u,d,s$) in a mass splitting model. We adopt the assumption that the $X(4140)$ is the lowest $J^{PC}=1^{++}$…
Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported the observation of several enhancements in the invariant mass spectrum of a $J/\psi$ pair between 6.2 and 7.4 GeV. In this work, we propose the dynamical mechanism to mimic the experimental…
We study the strong decay channels $P_c^+(4380) \to J/\psi p$ and $P_c^+(4450) \to J/\psi p$ under $\Sigma_c \bar{D}^*$ molecular state ansatz. With various spin-parity assignments, the partial decay widths of $J/\psi p$ final state are…

The $\Lambda_b^0\to\Lambda\phi$ decay is observed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb experiment. The decay proceeds at leading order via a $b\to s\bar{s}s$ loop transition and is…
