The decay behavior of an exotic state can be used to probe its internal structure. We note that the hidden-charm pentaquark states, $P_{\psi}^{N}(4312)$, $P_{\psi}^{N}(4440)$, and $P_{\psi}^{N}(4457)$, have only been observed in the $J/\psi…
We study the bottom $\Lambda_b(6146)^0$ baryon, newly discovered by the LHCb Collaboration. By adopting an interpolating current of $(L_{\rho}, L_{\lambda})=(0,2)$ type and $D$-wave nature with spin-parity quantum numbers…
In 2019, two new structures $\Lambda_b(6146)$ and $\Lambda_b(6152)$ were observed by the LHCb Collaboration at the invariant mass spectrum of $\Lambda_b^0\pi^{+}\pi^{-}$, which aroused a hot discussion about their inner structures. The…
Very recently, three new structures $\Xi_c(2923)^0$, $\Xi(2938)^0$, and $\Xi(2964)^0$ at the invariant mass spectrum of $\Lambda_c^{+}K^{-}$ observed by the LHCb Collaboration triggers a hot discussion about their inner structure. In this…
Stimulated by the newly observed $\Lambda_b(6146)^0$ and $\Lambda_b(6152)^0$ resonances, we investigate the strong decays of the low-lying singly bottom baryons within the quark pair creation model. Considering their masses and decay modes,…
Although heavy-quark symmetry predicts a $B_1\bar{B}$ molecular partner of the $D_1\bar{D}$ molecule, no such state has been observed. We propose that the experimentally observed $\Upsilon(11020)$ may be a candidate for such a state,…
We study the strong decays of the newly observed $\Xi_b(6227)$ assuming that it is a pure $\Sigma_b\bar{K}$ molecular state. Considering four possible spin-parity assingments $J^P=1/2^{\pm}$ and $3/2^{\pm}$, the partial decay widths of the…
The measured masses and strong decays of $\Lambda_b(6146)^0$ and $\Lambda_b(6152)^0$ required us to decode them as the 1$D$ excited states with $J^P=3/2^+$ and $J^P=5/2^+$, respectively. Under the suggested assignment, the masses and total…
We study the $\Lambda_b(6146)^0$ and $\Lambda_b(6152)^0$ recently observed by LHCb using the method of QCD sum rules within the framework of heavy quark effective theory. Our results suggest that they can be interpreted as $D$-wave bottom…
In this work, we study the strong decay of the newly observed $P_{cs}(4459)$ assuming that it is a pure $\Xi_c\bar{D}^{*}$ molecular state. Considering two possible spin-parity assignments $J^P=1/2^{-}$ and $J^P=3/2^{-}$ the partial decay…
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…
In 2010, $\Lambda^*_{c\bar{c}}$ states were predicted as the strange number $S=-1$ partners of $N^*_{c\bar{c}}$, which are well known now as the $P_c$ states and observed experimentally by LHCb Collaboration. We analyze the decay behaviors…
The \Lambda_c(2940)^+ baryon is studied in a constituent quark model as a molecular state composed by nucleons and D^* mesons. A bound state with the right binding energy is found for the J^\pi=3/2^- channel. The partial widths…
The strong decays of the low-lying $\lambda$-mode $\Lambda_b(1D,2S)$ and $\Sigma_b(2S)$ states are studied in a chiral quark model. We find that: (i) the newly observed $\Lambda_b(6146/6152)$ resonances in the $\Lambda_b\pi^+\pi^-$ spectrum…
We investigate the observed pentaquark candidates $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ from the latest LHCb measurement, as well as four possible spin partners in the $\bar{D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^*$ system predicted from the heavy quark spin…

Among the newly observed structures in the heavy quarkonium mass region, some are proposed to be hadronic molecules. We investigate the consequences of heavy quark flavor symmetry on these heavy meson hadronic molecules. The symmetry allows…
