Inspired by recent observation of charged charmoniumlike structure $Z_c(4025)$, we explore the $Y(4260)\to (D^*\bar{D}^*)^- \pi^+$ decay through the initial-single-pion-emission mechanism, where the $D^*\bar{D}^*\to D^*\bar{D}^*$…

The semileptonic decays $\bar{B}\to D(D^*)\pi\ell\bar{\nu}$ are analyzed by heavy quark and chiral symmetries. The branching ratio is of order of a few percent for $\dpi$, but it is much smaller for $\dstar$, of order $10^{-4}-10^{-5}$. The…

In order to unravel the composition of the isoscalar $DN$, $D^*N$, $D_1N$, and $D_2^*N$ molecular pentaquarks, we carry out a systematic investigation of their M1 and E1 radiative decays and magnetic moment properties. Using the constituent…

We investigate heavy quark symmetries for heavy meson hadronic molecules, and explore the consequences of assuming the X(3872) and $Z_b(10610)$ as an isoscalar $D\bar D^*$ and an isovector $B\bar B^*$ hadronic molecules, respectively. The…

Permanent electric dipole moments (EDMs) of fundamental particles provide powerful probes for physics beyond the Standard Model. We propose to search for the EDM of strange and charm baryons at LHC, extending the ongoing experimental…

We perform a systematical investigation of the existence of the deuteron-like singly bottomed dibaryon resonance states with strangeness $S=-1,~-3,~-5$ in the chiral quark model. Two resonance states with strangeness $S=-1$ are obtained in…

The X(3872) with quantum numbers J(PC) = 1(++) is considered as a composite state containing both molecular hadronic and a c bar(c) component. Based on this structure assumption we first constrain model parameters in order to reproduce the…

We study the hadronic molecular structure of hidden heavy pentaquarks - new exotic states composed of charmed/bottom baryons and $D(D^*)/B(B^*)$ mesons. Based on the observation of three pentaquark candidates $P_c^+(4312)$, $P_c^+(4440)$,…

We investigate the decays of $B^0 \to K^0 X(3872)$ and $B^+ \to K^+ X(3872)$ based on the picture where the $X(3872)$ resonance is strongly coupled to the $D\bar{D}^* + c.c.$ channel. In addition to the decay mechanism where the $X(3872)$…

Hidden-charm pentaquark-like $P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4459)^0$ and $P_{\psi s}^\Lambda(4338)$ resonances are studied in a constituent quark model as molecular meson-baryon structures. Such states are found in the $J^P(I)=\frac{1}{2}^-(0)$…

Experimental data from the 2m propane bubble chamber have been analyzed to search for an exotic baryon states, in the $K_s^0 p$, $K_s^0 \Lambda$ and $\Lambda p$ decay mode for the reaction p+$C_3H_8$ at 10 GeV/c. The invariant mass spectrum…

Since its first observation in 2005, the vector charmonium $Y(4260)$ has turned out to be one of the prime candidates for an exotic state in the charmonium spectrum. It was recently proposed that the $Y(4260)$ should have a prominent…

It is interesting to search for new physics beyond the standard model at LHCb. We suggest that weak decays of doubly charmed baryon such as $\Xi_{cc}(3520)^+, \Xi_{cc}^{++}$ to charmless final states would be a possible signal for new…

Stimulated by the $P_{cs}(4459)$ reported by the LHCb Collaboration, we perform a single $\Xi_c\bar{D}^*$ channel and a coupled $\Xi_c\bar{D}^*/\Xi_c^*\bar{D}/\Xi_c^{\prime}\bar{D}^*/\Xi_c^*\bar{D}^*$ channel analysis by using a…

All the time since its discovery the N$^*$(1440) baryon state, commonly known as Roper resonance, has been a state with many question marks - despite of its 4-star ranking in the particle data book. One reason is that it does not produce…

We use the method of QCD sum rules within the framework of heavy quark effective theory to study the mass spectrum of the $\Sigma_{b}(6097)^{\pm}$ and $\Xi_{b}(6227)^{-}$, and use the method of light-cone sum rules still within the heavy…

Inspired by the newly reported $Z_{cs}(3985)^{-}$ by the BESIII Collaboration, we systematically investigate the strange hidden-charm tetraquark systems $cs\bar{c}\bar{u}$ with two structures: meson-meson and diquark-antidiquark. Two quark…

The open charm strong decay widths and certain ratio of branching fractions of a charmed strange baryon $\Xi_c(2970)$ are calculated in a $^3P_0$ model. The results are compatible with the latest experimental data. The theoretical ratio of…

In this work, we investigate the productions of $\Lambda_{c}(2910)$ and $\Lambda_{c}(2940)$ in the $p \bar{p} \rightarrow \bar{\Lambda}_{c} D^{0} p$ process by utilizing an effective Lagrangian approach, where both $\Lambda_{c}(2910)$ and…

Discovery of $X(5568)$ brings up a tremendous interest because it is very special, i.e. made of four different flavors. The D0 collaboration claimed that they observed this resonance through portal $X(5568)\to B_s\pi$, but unfortunately,…
