To illustrate the campaign to understand heavy quarkonium systems, I focus on a puzzling new state, $X(3872) \to \pi^+\pi^- J/\psi$. Studying the influence of open-charm channels on charmonium properties leads us to propose a new charmonium…
The new particle Z(3930) found by the Belle and BaBar Collaborations through the $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow D\bar D$ process is identified to be the $\chi_{c2}(2P)$ state. Since the mass of this particle is above the $D\bar D^{(\ast)}$…
In order to explore the spectrum of hidden-charm scalar and tensor resonances, we study meson-meson scattering with $J^{PC}=0^{++}, 2^{++}$ in the charmonium energy region using lattice QCD. Employing a light-quark mass corresponding to…
We study the electromagnetic (EM) transitions of the $nS$, $nP$ ($n\leq 3$), and $nD$ ($n\leq 2$) charmonium states with a constituent quark model. We obtain a reasonable description of the EM transitions of the well-established charmonium…
Inspired by the latest experimental progress, we systematically study the OZI-allowed two-body strong decay properties of $1P$-, $1D$-, $2S$- and $2P$-wave $\Lambda_c$ baryons within the $j $-$j$ coupling scheme in the framework of the…
With the heavy quark symmetry and spin rearrangement scheme, we study the strong decay behavior of the hidden-charm pentaquark states with $J^P={\frac{3}{2}}^{\pm}, {\frac{5}{2}}^{\pm}$ assuming they are molecular candidates composed of…
In this work we calculate the mass spectrum of charmonium for $1P,...,3P$ states of $0^{++}$ , $1^{++}$, as well as for $1S,...,4S$ states of $0^{-+}$, and $1S, ...,5D$ states of $1^{--}$ along with the two-photon decay widths of ground and…
In the present work, we propose $Y(4140)$ as the $\chi_{c1}(3P)$ state by studying the $\chi_{c1} \pi^+ \pi^-$ invariant mass spectrum of the $B\to K \chi_{c1} \pi^+ \pi^-$ process. In the $D\bar{D}$ invariant mass spectrum of the $B\to K…
We suggest that $\psi$ (4040) and $\psi$ (4160) are strong mixtures of ground state hybrid charmonium at $\sim 4.1$ GeV and the $\psi (3S)$ of conventional charmonium. The $\Gamma^{e^+e^-}$, masses and total widths of the $\psi(4040)$ and…
Stimulated by the new evidence of Y(4274) observed in the $J/\psi\phi$ invariant mass spectrum, we first propose the charmonium-like state Y(4274) as the S-wave $D_s\bar{D}_{s0}(2317)+h.c.$ molecular state with $J^P=0^-$, which is supported…
We present a lattice QCD study of charmonium resonances and bound states with $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ and $3^{--}$ near the open-charm threshold, taking into account their strong transitions to $\bar DD$. Vector charmonia are the most abundant in…
Motivated by recent experimental evidence for apparent $cc\bar c \bar c$ states at LHCb, CMS and ATLAS, we consider how the mass spectrum and decays of such states can be used to discriminate among their possible theoretical…
The effects of virtual light quark pairs on the charmonium spectrum are studied. Pair creation is modelled with a ``$^{3}P_{0}$" vertex and intermediate states are summed up to 2S excitations. Quark model parameters are obtained by fitting…
Stimulated by the observation of the newly $X(3960)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration, we adopt the one-boson-exchange model and consider the $S-D$ wave mixing effects to study the $D_s\bar{D}_s/D^*\bar{D}^*/D_s^*\bar{D}_s^*$ interactions…
With the spin rearrangement, we have performed a comprehensive investigation of the decay patterns of the S-wave tetraquarks and P-wave tetraquarks where the P-wave excitation exists either between the diquark and anti-diquark pair or…
We study the newly observed charmoniumlike state $Z_{cs}(3985)$ in the framework of chiral effective field theory. The interaction kernel of the $\bar{D}_sD^\ast/\bar{D}^\ast_sD$ system is calculated up to the next-to-leading order with the…
The beauty hadron decays is unique laboratory to study charmonium and charmonium-like states, such as the $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ meson, other exotic states and the tensor D-wave $\psi_2(3823$) states. However the nature of many exotic…
We study the spectral function of the axial-vector charmonium state $\chi_{c1}(2P)$ coupled to $DD^{\ast}$ mesons, by employing a quantum field theoretical approach: a pronounced enhancement close to the $D^{0}% D^{\ast0}$ threshold, to be…
The mass spectrum and the two-body open-charm decays of the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ charmonium states are studied with the coupled-channel effects taken into account. The coupled-channel-induced mixing effects among the excited vector charmonia are…
We adopt the effective Lagrangian approach to study the strong decays of the $1^-(0^{++})$ $D^\ast\bar{D}^\ast$ molecular state [denoted as $T_{\psi0}^a(4010)$ according to the LHCb naming convention] through triangle diagrams. The decay…
