Recently, a charmonium $X(3960)$ in $B$ decays in the $D_s^+D_s^-$ invariant-mass spectrum is discovered by the LHCb Collaboration with the quantum number $J^{PC}=0^{++}$. Motivated by the discovery, in this work, we systematically…

Multiquark resonances are undoubtedly experimentally observed. The number of states and the amount of details on their properties has been growing over the years. It is very recent the discovery of two pentaquarks and the confirmation of…
We study the $S$-wave $D\Xi$ bound state in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism in the ladder and instantaneous approximations. With the kernel generated by the hadronic effective Lagrangian, two open-charmed bound states, which quantum numbers…
We investigate the possible existence of double-strangeness hidden-charm pentaquark states, denoted as $P_{c\bar{c}ss}$, within an off-shell coupled-channel formalism. Eleven meson-baryon channels with total strangeness $S = -2$ are…
The recent reported charmed-strange resonance at 2.32 GeV/c suggests a possible multiquark state. Three types of multiquark bound states are reviewed. A previous model-independent variational approach considers a tetraquark with two heavy…

The fully-heavy tetraquark states $QQ\bar{Q}\bar{Q}$ ($Q=c, b$) are systematically investigated by means of a nonrelativistic potential model. The model is based on the lattice QCD study of the two-body $Q\bar{Q}$ interaction, which…
We study tetraquarks in large $N$ QCD with heavy quarks, in the domain where non-relativistic quantum mechanics offers an adequate approximation. Within the regime of validity of the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, we systematically study…

We investigate the production mechanism for doubly charmed tetraquark mesons within a coupled-channel formalism. The two-body Feynman kernel amplitudes are constructed using effective Lagrangians that respect heavy quark symmetry, chiral…
We study the doubly charmful two-body and three-body baryonic B decays $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^-$ and $\bar B\to \Lambda_c^+\bar \Lambda_c^- \bar K$. As pointed out before, a naive estimate of the branching ratio ${\cal…

We use the quark potential model to calculate the mass spectrum of the S-wave fully heavy tetraquark systems with different flavors, including the $ bc\bar b\bar c, bb\bar c\bar c, cc\bar c\bar b $ and $ bb\bar b\bar c $ systems. We employ…

The doubly charmed tetraquark $T_{cc}$ has been reported by the LHCb experiment in 2022, and a lot of theoretical studies has been conducted. The small binding energy measured from $D^{\ast + }D^0$ threshold indicates that $T_{cc}$ is a…

We study hadronic molecules formed by a heavy meson and a nucleon, DN and D*N (BbarN and Bbar*N) systems. Respecting the heavy quark symmetry and chiral symmetry, we consider the DN-D*N (BbarN-Bbar*N$) mixing induced by the one boson…
