The $Y(4260)$ has been one of the most puzzling pieces among the so-called $XYZ$ states. In this paper, we try to gain insights into the structure of the $Y(4260)$ from the light-quark perspective. We study the dipion invariant mass…
A new charm-strange meson, the $D_{s1}^*(2863)$, has recently been observed by the LHCb collaboration which also determined the $D_{sJ}^*(2860)$ to have spin 3. One of the speculations about the previously observed $D_{s1}^*(2710)$ is that…
We calculate the decay widths of the charmonium states, $J/\psi$, $\psi (3686)$ and $\psi(3770)$, to $D\bar D$ pairs, as well as the decay width of $D^* \rightarrow D\pi$, in isospin asymmetric strange hadronic matter, using a field…
Assuming that $D_{s0}^{*}(2317)$ is a $DK$ molecular state with a binding energy of 45 MeV, we investigate the existence of four-hadron molecules, $DDKK$ and $D\Bar{D}K\Bar{K}$, with the Gaussian expansion method. Their binding energies are…
The internal structure of the charm-strange mesons $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ are subject of intensive studies. Their widths are small because they decay dominantly through isospin-breaking hadronic channels $D_{s0}^*(2317)^+\to…
The newly observed $X, Y, Z$ exotic states are definitely not in the standard $Q\bar Q'$ structures, thus their existence composes a challenge to our understanding on the fundamental principles of hadron physics. Therefore the studies on…
Possible $2S$ and $1D$ excited $D$ and $D_s$ states are studied, the charmed states $D(2550)^0$, $D^\ast(2600)$, $D(2750)^0$ and $D^\ast(2760)$ newly observed by the BaBar Collaboration are analyzed. The masses of these states are explored…
Inspired by the states $X(2370)$ and $X(2600)$ reported by the BESIII Collaboration, we systematically investigate the mass spectra of light compact tetraquark states with configurations $ud\bar{u}\bar{d}$, $us\bar{u}\bar{s}$, and…
A coupled-channel model previously employed to describe the narrow $D_{s0}^*$(2317) and broad $D_0^*$(2400) charmed scalar mesons is generalized so as to include all ground-state pseudoscalar-pseudoscalar and vector-vector two-meson…
The masses of the heavy tetraquarks with open charm and bottom are calculated within the diquark-antidiquark picture in the framework of the relativistic quark model. The dynamics of the light quarks and diquarks is treated completely…
We conduct systematic calculations of the S-wave fully strange systems with ``normal" $\left(J^{P C}=0^{++}, 1^{+-}, 2^{++}\right)$ and ``exotic" $\left(J^{P C}=0^{+-}, 1^{++}, 2^{+-}\right)$ C-parities, which are the strange analogue of…
We calculate the mass and structure of a J^P=0^-, T=0 six-quark system using a colored diquark-tetraquark cluster wave function and a nonrelativistic quark model Hamiltonian. The calculated mass is some 350 MeV above the empirical value if…
The difference between Z(4430) as a $D^{*}D_1$ molecule and a tetraquark state and how to distinguish between them are discussed. We construct an effective Lagrangian with $D^{*}D_1$ contact interactions constrained by the heavy quark…
Stimulated by the renewed observation of $D_{s0}^{*}(2317)$ signal and its updated mass value $2318.3\pm1.2\pm1.2~\mbox{MeV}/c^{2}$ in the process $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow D_{s}^{*+}D_{s0}^{*}(2317)^{-}+c.c.$ by BESIII Collaboration, we…
Different experiments have confirmed that the $D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ mesons are very narrow states located, respectively, below the $DK$ and $D^{\ast}K$ thresholds. This is markedly in contrast with the expectations of…
The experimental status concerning the two new narrow states with charm-strange content is reviewed. The states have masses of 2317 and 2460 MeV, widths less than 10 MeV, isospin consistent with zero, and spin-parities consistent with being…
