Recent lattice analyses of the $D\pi$ scattering by Hadron Spectrum Collaboration(HadSpec) report only one pole in the $D_0^*$ channel. This is in odds with the unitarised chiral perturbation theory analyses, which predict the $D_0^*(2300)$…
The so far only known charmed non-strange scalar meson is dubbed as $D_0^*(2400)$ in the Review of Particle Physics. We show, within the framework of unitarized chiral perturbation theory, that there are in fact two $(I=1/2, J^P=0^+)$ poles…
We reanalyze the lattice spectra for $I=1/2$ $D\pi$ scattering in the $A_1^+$ irreducible representation from [Phys. Rev. D 111, 014503 (2025)] to investigate the impact of chiral and SU(3) flavor symmetries in $S$-wave $D\pi$ scattering…
The mass and width of the lightest scalar open-charm state listed in the Review of Particle Physics, the $D_0^\ast(2300)$, are in puzzling tension with predictions from unitarized chiral perturbation theory (UChPT) and lattice QCD, which…
The two-pole structure refers to the fact that particular single states in the spectrum as listed in the PDG tables are often two states. The story began with the $\Lambda(1405)$, when in 2001, using unitarized chiral perturbation theory,…
In this paper we study the scattering amplitudes of $D^{0}D^{0}\pi^+$-$D^{*+}D^{0}$ coupled channels based on $K$-matrix within the Chew-Mandelstam formalism. The $D^{0}D^{0}\pi^{+}$ invariant mass spectrum of LHCb is fitted and the pole…
Many hadronic states observed since 2003, especially for the positive-parity charm-strange states $D_{s0}^\ast (2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$, do not conform with the conventional quark model expectations and raise various puzzles in charm…
Chiral potentials are derived for the interactions between Goldstone bosons and pseudoscalar charmed mesons up to next-to-next-to-leading order in a covariant chiral effective field theory with explicit vector charmed-meson degrees of…
In recent years many candidates for states beyond the most simple realization of the quark model were found in various experiments around the world. However, so far no consensus exists on their structure, although there is strong evidence…
We recently presented elastic $I=1/2$ $D\pi$ scattering from lattice QCD at $m_{\pi} = 239$ MeV. The amplitude features a pole corresponding to a mass $m \approx 2200$ MeV and a width $\Gamma \approx 400$ MeV. The results were compared to…
The pole structure of the $\Lambda(1405)$ has been a topic of debate for a long time. Chiral perturbation theory predicts that its experimental spectrum may be explained by a two pole structure originating in the $SU(3)$ chiral dynamics of…
We reanalyze, considering the contribution of $P$-wave charmonia, lattice data for the $D \bar{D}$-$D_s\bar{D}_s$ coupled-channel of S. Prelovsek et al. [JHEP 06, 035 (2021)] and $D\bar{D}^*$ systems of S. Prelovsek et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett.…
The doubly charm tetraquark with flavor $cc\bar u\bar d$ and isospin $I\!=\!0$ is investigated by calculating the $DD^*$ scattering amplitude with lattice QCD. The simulation is done on CLS ensembles with dynamical $u/d,s$ quarks and…
We derive the scattering amplitude for Goldstone bosons of chiral symmetry off the pseudoscalar charmed mesons up to leading one-loop order in a covariant chiral effective field theory, using the so-called extended-on-mass-shell…
We argue that the hypothesis that positive-parity charm meson resonances exhibit a compact tetraquark structure has some clear tension with recent lattice results for the $S$-wave $\pi D$ system for an SU(3) flavor symmetric setting. In…
We calculate the scattering amplitudes of Goldstone bosons off the pseudoscalar D-mesons in unitarized heavy meson chiral approach. The low energy constants appearing in $\mathcal{O}(p^2)$ chiral Lagrangian are determined by fitting lattice…
The first determination of doubly-charmed isospin-0 coupled-channel $DD^\ast-D^\ast D^\ast$ scattering amplitudes from lattice QCD is presented. The finite-volume spectrum is computed for three lattice volumes with a light-quark mass…

A general appearance of two-pole structures is exhibited in a relativistic Friedrichs-Lee model combined with a relativistic quark pair creation model in a consistent manner. This kind of two-pole structure could be found when a $q\bar q$…
Through the scattering of light-pseudoscalar mesons ($\pi,K,\eta,\eta'$) off charmed mesons ($D, D_s$), we study the $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$ state and other relevant charm scalar mesons in a unitarized chiral effective field theory approach. We…
