We study multi-hadron systems with a single heavy quark (charm or bottom) in the limit of heavy quark mass. The spin degeneracy of the states with quantum numbers $(j+1/2)^{P}$ and $(j-1/2)^{P}$ for $j \neq 0$, known in a normal hadron, can…

Hidden-charm strong decays of the spin-2 partner $X_2(4014)$ of the charmonium-like state $X(3872)$ have been studied in the framework of the covariant confined quark model. The exotic state $X_2$ has been interpreted as a four-quark state…

The first observation of exotic states with a new quark content $c \bar{c} u \bar{s}$ decaying to the $J/\psi K^+$ final state is reported with high significance from an amplitude analysis of the $B^+ \to J/\psi \phi K^+$ decay. The…

Recently LHCb reported the discovery of five extremely narrow excited $\Omega_c$ baryons decaying into $\Xi_c^+ K^-$. We interpret these baryons as bound states of a $c$-quark and a $P$-wave $ss$-diquark. For such a system there are exactly…

The first full amplitude analysis of $B^+\to J/\psi \phi K^+$ with $J/\psi\to\mu^+\mu^-$, $\phi\to K^+K^-$ decays is performed with a data sample of 3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collision data collected at $\sqrt{s}=7$ and $8$ TeV with the LHCb…

The decay $D^0 \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^0$ appears to be dominated by $\rho \pi$ states in a configuration of zero total isotopic spin. The spin $J$, parity $P$, and charge-conjugation eigenvalue $C$ of this final state are therefore $J^{PC} =…
