Due to the discovery of the hidden-charm pentaquark $P_c$ states by the LHCb collaboration, the interests on the candidates of hidden-bottom pentaquark $P_b$ states are increasing. They are anticipated to exist as the analogues of the $P_c$…
The masses of the ground state and excited heavy tetraquarks with hidden charm and bottom are calculated within the relativistic diquark-antidiquark picture. The dynamics of the light quark in a heavy-light diquark is treated completely…
Heavy flavor hadrons, especially doubly heavy baryons and doubly heavy tetraquarks, have always received extensive attention in theoretical and experimental research. Given the separation of quark masses $m_Q \gg m_q$ ($Q = c, b$ and $q =…
We carry out a systematic study of the $1S$-wave hidden and double charm-strange tetraquarks $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ and $cc\bar{s}\bar{s}$ in a nonrelativistic potential quark model framework with the explicitly correlated Gaussian method, and…
We study the five-quark system composed of $qqs\bar{Q}Q$ configuration ($q = u$ or $d$, $Q=b$ or $c$), in the framework of the chiral quark model. In consequence, a series of bound states with heavy flavors are predicted by precise…
Using the bound state version of the topological soliton model for the baryons we show that the existence of a bound (or quasi-bound) $\bar D$-soliton state leads to the possibility of having hidden charm pentaquarks with quantum numbers…
In present work, we systematically calculate the mass spectra of open charm and bottom tetraquarks $q q\bar q \bar Q$ within an extended relativized quark model. The four-body relativized Hamiltonians including the Coulomb potential,…
The combination of precise experimental measurements and theoretical predictions allows to extract Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix elements or constrain flavor changing processes in the standard model. Focusing at theoretical…
Quarks of other flavours than up and down, i.e. $s$, $c$, and $b$ quarks, have been long recognized as effective probes of the structure of hot QCD matter. In this talk, I review some of the motivations for their investigation and discuss…
Inspired by the LHCb's discovery of hidden-charm pentaquarks, the anticharmed strange pentaquarks $P_{\bar c s}$ in a favor of the hadronic molecule picture are investigated from the one-boson-exchange model. Similar to the hidden-charm…
Motivated by the observation of the first hidden charm pentaquarks by the LHCb collaboration in 2015 and the updated analysis with an order-of-magnitude larger data set in 2019, we estimate their cross sections for the prompt production as…
Studying scattering of heavy flavor hadrons and looking for bound states is shown to give experimental information otherwise unobtainable about effective two-body interactions between constituent $(qq)_6$ and $(\bar qq)_8$ pairs…
In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction model, we have systematically calculated the mass splittings for the S-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the configuration $qqQQ\bar{Q}$ $(Q=c,b;q=u,d,s)$. Their masses are estimated…
The masses of heavy tetraquarks with hidden charm and bottom are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The tetraquark is considered as the bound state of a heavy-light diquark and antidiquark. The light quark in a…
In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction, we systematically investigate the mass splittings of the $QQ\bar{Q}\bar{q}$ tetraquark states and estimated their rough masses in this work. These systems include the explicitly exotic…
We make an exhaustive investigation on the pentaquark states $qqqc\bar{c}$ ($q=u, d$ and $s$) and discuss the effect of color structures in a multiquark color flux-tube model. We exhibit a novel picture of the structure and properties of…
The molecular assignments to the three $P_c$ states and the similar production mechanism between the $\Lambda_b\to P_c+K$ and $B\to XYZ+K$ convince us the $B$ decaying to a charmonium state plus light mesons could be the appropriate…
It is shown that the hierarchical structure of the quark mass terms in the standard model suggests a new description of the flavor mixing. The latter is primarily a heavy quark mixing involving the t and b quarks, followed by a mixing…
Recently, a new hidden-charm pentaquark state $P_{cs}(4459)$ was reported by the LHCb Collaboration. Stimulated by the fact that all hidden-charm pentaquark states in $S=0$ systems were successfully predicted by our chiral quark model, we…
In several mechanisms proposed for multiquark binding, the flavor content of the quark configuration plays a very important role. We shall review some past or recent results on multiquarks dealing with the chromomagnetic interaction and…
