The newly observed hidden-charm tetraquark state $Z_{cs}(3985)$, together with $Z_c(3900)$ and $X(4020)$, are studied in the combined theoretical framework of the effective range expansion, compositeness relation and the decay width…
Charmonium is a bound state of a charmed quark and a charmed antiquark, and a charmoniumlike state is a resonant structure that contains a charmed quark and antiquark pair but has properties that are incompatible with a conventional…
We study the influence of possible molecular structures in the charmonium spectrum. We focus on the $0^{++}$ and $1^{--}$ sectors. In the first one we coupled the $2 ^3P_0$ $q\bar q$ pair with $DD$, $J/\psi \omega$, $D_sD_s$ and…
Recently, a charmonium $X(3960)$ in $B$ decays in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ invariant-mass spectrum is discovered by the LHCb Collaboration with the quantum number $J^{PC}=0^{++}$. Motivated by the discovery, in this work, we systematically…
Strong decays of the charmonium-like state $Y(4320)$ have been studied in the framework of the covariant confined quark model. The resonance $Y$ has been interpreted as a four-quark state of the molecular type. We evaluate the hidden-charm…
We study the changes in the partial decay widths of excited charmonium states into $D \bar{D}$, when the D meson mass decreases in nuclear matter, taking the internal structure of the hadrons into account. Calculations within the 3P0 model…
An interesting controversy has emerged challenging the widely accepted nature of the $X(3915)$ and the $X(3930)$ resonances, which had initially been assigned to the $\chi_{c0}(2P)$ and $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ $c\bar c$ states, respectively. To…
The strong decays of the radially excited $\psi(3^3S_1)$ state are studied within the $^3P_0$ model. As a believed $\psi(3^3S_1)$, some strong decay widths and relevant ratios of $\psi(4040)$ are calculated in the model. The theoretical…
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…
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration has confirmed the state $X(4140)$, with a mass $M=4146.5\pm 4.5^{+4.6}_{-2.8}$~MeV, and a much larger width $\Gamma=83\pm21^{+21}_{-14}$~MeV than the previous experimental measurements, which has confused…
The masses and decay widths of charmonium states are studied in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The mixing between the pseudoscalar and vector charmonium states at rest is observed to lead to appreciable negative (positive) shifts…
The recent results on Charmonium and Charmonium-like states at BESIII are reviewed, including the observation of $\rm Z_{cs}(3985)$ state, the study of the new decay modes of $\psi_2(3823)$ state, observation of resonance structure in $\rm…
Inspired by the first observation of a vector charmonium-like state $Y(4626)$ decaying to a meson pair $D_{s}^{+}D_{s1}(2536)^{-}$, which could be viewed as a $P$-wave scalar-scalar $[cs][\bar{c}\bar{s}]$ tetraquark state, we predict a…
More and more excited baryons have been reported experimentally, but many properties are still unclear. This work attempts to simultaneously study the masses and strong decay widths of some singly heavy baryons, in order to provide possible…
The decay widths of the charmonium states to $D\bar D$ in isospin asymmetric nuclear matter in the presence of a magnetic field are studied, using a field theoretical model for composite hadrons with quark/antiquark constituents. The medium…
Very recently, the Belle and BESIII experiments observed a new charmonium-like state $X(3823)$, which is a good candidate for the $D$-wave charmonium $\psi(1^3D_2)$. Because the $X(3823)$ is just near the $D\bar{D}^*$ threshold, the decay…
Within a perturbative approach we investigate decays of charmonium states into baryon-antibaryon pairs. Using a recently proposed wave function for the nucleon and suitable generalizations of it to the hyperons and decouplet baryons, we…
Inspired by the newly reported $Z_{cs}(3985)^{-}$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we systematically investigate the strange hidden-charm tetraquark systems $cs\bar{c}\bar{u}$ with two structures: meson-meson and diquark-antidiquark. Two quark…
We review how quark models are able to describe the phenomenology of the charm meson sector. The spectroscopy and decays of charmonium and open charm mesons are described in a particular quark model and compared with the data and the…
In the diquark-diantiquark composition, we study the masses of hidden charm tetraquark systems ($cq\bar{c}\bar{q}$, $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ and $cs\bar{c}\bar{q}$) using a linear confinement potential. In this study, we have factorized the four…
