We study the possible heavy molecular states composed of a pair of charm mesons in the H and S doublets. Since the P-wave charm-strange mesons $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ are extremely narrow, the future experimental observation of…
We investigate heavy quark symmetries for heavy light meson-antimeson systems in a contact-range effective field theory. In the SU(3) light flavor limit, the leading order Lagrangian respecting heavy quark spin symmetry contains four…
There have been great advances in charm physics at the B-factories in recent years, including the observation of D0-D0bar mixing and the discovery of many new hidden-charm states, some of them presumably exotic in structure. This talk…
We study the nature of the new charm and charmonium like states observed in the last few years, using a constituent quark model with an screened confinement potential. In the open charm sector we discuss different options for the…
Vacuum and thermal properties of pseudoscalar and vector charm mesons are analyzed within a self-consistent many-body approach, employing a chiral effective field theory that incorporates heavy-quark spin symmetry. Upon unitarization of the…
The P-wave charm-strange mesons $D_{s0}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ lie below the $DK$ and $D^\ast K$ threshold respectively. They are extremely narrow because their strong decays violate the isospin symmetry. We study the possible heavy…
In this work, we investigate the interactions between the charmed-strange meson ($D_s, D_s^{*}$) in $H$-doublet and the (anti-)charmed-strange meson ($D_{s1}, D_{s2}^{*}$) in $T$-doublet, where the one boson exchange model is adopted by…
This work uses the QCD Sum Rules to study the masses of the $D_s \bar{D}_s^*$ and $D_s^* \bar{D}_s^*$ molecular states with quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 1^{+-}$. Interpolating currents with definite C-parity are employed, and the contributions…
In the present paper we address the interaction of charmed mesons in hidden charm channels in a finite box. We use the interaction from a recent model based on heavy quark spin symmetry that predicts molecules of hidden charm in the…
We systematically investigate the electromagnetic properties of exotic states whose internal structures remain uncertain and for which different models have been proposed. In this work, we focus on the magnetic dipole moments of…
In this talk we summarize our latest results on the study of three-body systems with explicit/hidden charm and with strangeness. In particular, we focus on the $K D D $ and $K D\bar D^*$ systems, where a charm $+2$, isospin $1/2$ and…
We study the internal structure of a range of four-quark states with charm quark contributions using a two-body Bethe-Salpeter equation. Thereby, we examine charmonium-like states with hidden charm and quark content $c\bar{c}q\bar{q}$,…
Heavy-light diquarks can be the building blocks of a rich spectrum of states which can accommodate some of the newly observed charmonium-like resonances not fitting a pure c-cbar assignment. We examine this possibility for hidden and open…
We have studied the meson-baryon $S-$wave interaction, using coupled channels, in the isoscalar hidden-charm strange sector and $J^P = 1/2^-,3/2^-$ and $5/2^-$. We impose constraints of heavy quark spin symmetry in the interaction and…
In this manuscript we study the vector - vector interaction within the hidden gauge formalism in a coupled channel unitary approach. In the sector $C=1,S=1,J=2$ we get a pole in the T-matrix around $2572$ MeV that we identify with the…
Four exotic charmonium-like states, i.e. $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4500)$, and $X(4700)$, have been observed very recently by LHCb Collaboration in the decay process $B^+\to J/\psi \phi K^+$ using the 3${\rm fb}^{-1}$ data of $p\bar p$…
Using a coupled channel unitary approach, combining the heavy quark spin symmetry and the dynamics of the local hidden gauge, we investigate the meson-meson interaction with hidden beauty and obtain several new states. Both I=0 and I=1…
We discuss the spectrum and the internal composition of ground and excited four-quark states in the charm and bottom energy region. To this end we extend previous calculations within the framework of the relativistic four-body…
In the present work, we investigate the molecular properties of the hidden charm pentaquark states $P_c$ and $P_{cs}$ with a coupled channel framework that combines heavy quark spin symmetry and the local hidden gauge formalism. By solving…
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…
