The 2015 LHCb discovery of a structure (denoted by $P_c^+$) decaying in $J/\psi \,p$ and conjectured to be a penta-quark state, has triggered a renewed interest in the question of possible existence of multi-quark states not predicted by…
It is pointed out that the previously suggested interpretation of the hidden-charm pentaquarks $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ as molecular bound states of $\Sigma_c \bar D$ and $\Sigma_c \bar D^*$ baryon-meson pairs gives rise to…
Since LEPS collaboration reported the first evidence of $\Theta^+$ pentaquark in early 2003, eleven other experimental groups have confirmed this exotic state while many other groups didn't see any signal. If this state is further…
We investigate three possible pentaquark candidates, one of which contains a single charm quark and the other two contain triple charm quarks in their substructure. To this end we apply QCD sum rule method and take into account both the…
Quarks come in three colors and have electric charges in multiples of one-third. There are also three families of quarks and leptons. Whereas the first two properties can be understood in terms of unification symmetries such as SU(5),…
The masses of $1^{--}$ P-wave charmonium-like and bottomonium-like tetraquark states are calculated in a constituent quark model (CQM) where the Cornell-like potential and Breit-Fermi interaction are employed. All model parameters were…
Motivated by the discovery of several kaon-like states observed at BESIII and LHCb, this study explores S-wave and P-wave tetraquark states with quark contents $ss\bar{s}\bar{q}$ and $sq\bar{q}\bar{q}$ using potential-based phenomenology.…
The possible existence of a family of $uudc\overline{c}$ pentaquark system was explored through the application of Thomas Fermi Quark Model on the system. Considering a pocket of pentaquark contains $5$ quarks, the density functions, and…
Discoveries of tetraquarks not only enrich the hadronic spectrum but also provide more platforms to understand quantum chromodynamics. We study the production processes of hidden-charm and open-charm tetraquarks in $B$ decays by analyzing…
A recently announced discovery by LHCb of a doublet of overlapping pentaquark resonances poses a question of what can be the origin of this doublet structure. We attract attention to the fact that such degeneracy could naturally arise if…
We study the masses and lifetimes of doubly charmed pentaquark $P_{cc\bar qqq}(q=u,d,s)$ primarily. The operation of masses carried out by the doubly heavy triquark-diquark model, whose results suggests the existence of stable states…
A schematic model for hadronic states, based on constituent quarks and antiquarks and gluon pairs, is discussed. The phenomenological interaction between quarks and gluons is QCD motivated. The obtained hadronic spectrum leads to the…
A general study of pentaquarks built with four quarks in a L=1 state and an antiquark in S-wave shows that several of such states are forbidden by a selection rule, which holds in the limit of flavour symmetry, to decay into a baryon and a…
LHCb recently announced the discovery of two exotic structures in the $J/\psi + p$ decay channel, which have been referred to as charmonium-pentaquark states. Resolving between the models and clarifying the nature of the discovered…
In this talk, after a short overview of the history of the discovery of tetra-quarks and penta-quarks, we will discuss a possible interpretation of such states in the framework of a 40-years-old "string junction" picture that allows a…
The colour fields created by the static tetraquark system are computed in quenched SU(3) lattice QCD, in a 24^3 x 48 lattice at beta=6.2 corresponding to a lattice spacing a=0.07261(85) fm. We find that the tetraquark colour fields are well…
At present work, we systematically study various bottom-strange molecular pentaquarks to search for possible bound states and resonances by adopting one-boson-exchange model within complex scaling method. According to our calculations, we…
Following Rosner [hep-ph/0312269], we consider B-decay production channels for the exotic I=0 and $I=3/2$ pentaquarks that have been recently reported. We also discuss new search channels for isovector pentaquarks, such as the $\Theta^{*++}…
Evidence for a narrow baryon state at 1528 +- 2.6(stat) +- 2.1(syst) MeV is presented in quasi-real photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel p,K0 to p,pi+,pi-. The statistical significance of the peak in the p,K0…
In the framework of one-pion-exchange (OPE) model, we study the hidden-charm and charm-strange molecular pentaquark systems composed of a heavy baryon $(\Sigma_c, \Sigma_c^*)$ and a vector meson $(\bar{K}^*, \bar{D}^*)$, where the S-D…
