Motivated by the recent discovery of the first hidden charm pentaquark state with strangeness $P_{cs}(4459)$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we study the likely existence of a three-body $\Sigma_{c}\bar{D}\bar{K}$ bound state, which shares the…
Analogous to the work of hidden charm molecular pentaquarks, we study possible hidden strange molecular pentaquarks composed of $\Sigma$ (or $\Sigma^{*}$) and $K$ (or $K^{*}$) in the framework of quark delocalization color screening model.…
Very recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a fully charmed tetraquark state $X(6900)$ in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$ pairs. If one $J/\psi$ meson is replaced with a fully charmed baryon, we obtain a fully charmed pentaquark…
Motivated by the recent discovery of the hidden charm exotic state with strangeness by the BESIII and LHCb Collaborations, we study the $S$ wave strange hidden bottom tetraquark in two kinds of quark models. Both meson-meson and…
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…
The LHCb collaboration reported a fully charmed tetraquark state X(6900) in the invariant mass spectrum of $J/\psi$ pairs in 2020. This discovery inspires us to further study the fully heavy pentaquark system. In this work, we investigate…
We consider the ${\bar D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ states, together with $J/\psi N$ and other coupled channels, and take an interaction consistent with heavy quark spin symmetry, with the dynamical input obtained from an extension of the local…

Experimentally several charged axial-vector hidden-charm states were reported. Within the framework of the color-magnetic interaction, we have systematically considered the mass spectrum of the hidden-charm and hidden-bottom tetraquark…
The discovery of a charged strange hidden-charm state $Z_{cs}$(3985) implies another higher $Z^*_{cs}$ state coupling to $\bar{D}_s^{*-}D^{*0} + c.c$ under the heavy quark spin symmetry. In this paper we discuss a possible hunt for it with…
Here we investigate the decay patterns of the low-lying hidden strangeness nucleon resonances ($\equiv N_{s\bar{s}}$) to the strangeness channels by employing the chiral Lagrangian approach, where the $N_{s\bar{s}}$ states are treated as…
We consider exotic baryons with hidden charm as antiquark-diquark-diquark composite systems. Spin and isospin structure of such exotic states is given and masses are estimated. The data for production of pentaquarks in the reaction…
Recent experiments at the LHCb detector have once again raised the possibility that quark bags may exist containing more than three quarks. Specifically the LHCb collaboration points to evidence for hadronic resonances decaying into…
Recent results on the search for pentaquarks and on charmonium spectroscopy at BaBar are reviewed. The latter includes the observation of the puzzling new state X(3872) -> J/psi pi+ pi- in B decays, and the searches for X(3872) in two-body…
We investigate the meson-baryon interaction in coupled channels with the quantum numbers of the pentaquarks $P_{bss}$ and $P_{bsss}$. The interaction is derived from an extension of the local hidden gauge approach to the heavy quark sector,…

We investigate the pentaquark system $qqqs \bar q$ in a framework of chiral quark model. Two structures, $(qqq)(s\bar{q})$ and $(qqs)(q\bar{q})$, with all possible color, spin, flavor configurations are considered. The calculations show…
We propose a novel scenario for the peak structures, usually interpreted as hidden charm pentaquark ($P_c$) contributions, in the LHCb's $\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-$ data. The key idea is to utilize leading or lower-order singularities…
We discuss the mass splittings for the $S$-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the $QQQq\bar{q}$ $(Q=b,c;q=u,d,s)$ configuration which is a mirror structure of $Q\bar{Q}qqq$. The latter configuration is related with the nature of…
