The $P_c(4380)^+$ and $P_c(4450)^+$ states recently discovered at LHCb have masses close to several relevant thresholds, which suggests they can be described in terms of meson-baryon degrees of freedom. This article explores the…
The discovery of a charged strange hidden-charm state $Z_{cs}$(3985) implies another higher $Z^*_{cs}$ state coupling to $\bar{D}_s^{*-}D^{*0} + c.c$ under the heavy quark spin symmetry. In this paper we discuss a possible hunt for it with…
The LHCb Collaboration announcement regarding the observation of the $P_{\Psi s}^{\Lambda} (4459)$ stated that it might consist of two resonances rather than a single one. Naturally, the structure and composition of $P_{\Psi…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported three $P_c$ states in the ${J/\psi}p$ channel. We systematically study the mass spectrum of the hidden charm pentaquark in the framework of an extended chromomagnetic model. For the $nnnc\bar{c}$…
We perform a systematic analysis of the low-lying $\Omega_c$ structures in a coupled-channel approach. The couplings between meson-baryon channels, $\Xi_c \bar K$, $\Xi_c^{\prime} \bar K$, $\Xi_c^{*} \bar K$, $\Omega_c\eta$ and…
We present an analysis of the newly observed pentaquark $P_c(4312)^+$ to shed light on its quantum numbers. To do that, the QCD sum rule approach is used. The measured mass of this particle is close to $\Sigma_c^{++}\bar{D}^-$ threshold and…
The recent experimental results of LHCb collaboration suggested the existence of pentaquark states with charmonium. To understand the structure of the states, a dynamical calculation of 5-quark systems with quantum numbers…
In the present work, the strong decays of the discovered $P_c(4380)$, $P_c(4440)$, $P_c(4457)$ and their possible isospin cousins are systematically studied via the assignment that they are the meson-baryon molecular states. In detail, the…
The spins of the pentaquark states $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ play a decisive role in unraveling their nature, but remain undetermined experimentally. Assuming that they are $\Sigma_c\bar{D}^{*}$ bound states, we demonstrate how one can…
We generalize the framework of chiral effective field theory to study the interactions of the isovector $D^\ast\bar{D}^{(\ast)}$ and $B^\ast\bar{B}^{(\ast)}$ systems up to the next-to-leading order, in which the long-, mid-, and short-range…
We have calculated the mass spectrum of $B_s$ mesons within a nonrelativistic potential model considering coupled channel effects, and the corresponding strong decay widths within the $^3P_0$ model using the numerically calculated wave…
We consider the ${\bar D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ states, together with $J/\psi N$ and other coupled channels, and take an interaction consistent with heavy quark spin symmetry, with the dynamical input obtained from an extension of the local…
The pentaquark states, $P_{c}(4312)$, $P_{c}(4440)$ and $P_{c}(4457)$, could be nicely arranged into a multiplet of seven molecules of $\bar{D}^{(\ast)}\Sigma_{c}^{(\ast)}$ dictated by heavy quark spin symmetry. However, the spins of…
Based on our previous QCD sum rule studies on hidden-charm pentaquark states, we discuss possible interpretations of the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$, and $P_c(4457)$, which were recently observed by LHCb. Our results suggest that the…
A simple regularity in anticipating P-wave excitation energies of states with heavy quarks is noted. It can apply to systems such as the negative-parity $\Sigma_c$, $\Sigma_b$, and $\Omega_c$, $\bar Q Q$ quarkonia, and the bottom-charmed…

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…
Very recently, two hidden-charmed resonances $P_c(4380)$ and $P_c(4450)$ consistent with pentaquark states were observed at the LHCb detector. The two $P_c$ states locate just below the $\bar{D}\Sigma^*_c$ and $\bar{D}^*\Sigma_c$ thresholds…
