A brief review of the latest developments in the spectroscopy of heavy quarks is presented. The current status of the recently `discovered' pentaquarks is also discussed.
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…
Hadron spectroscopy has received revitalised interest due to the discovery of states with unexpected properties. Discussed are the recent findings at BABAR, CLEO, BELLE and BES. A detailed report is given on the many experiments reporting…
We study the Theta+(1540) discovered at SPring-8. We apply Quark Model techniques, that explain with success the repulsive hard core of nucleon-nucleon and kaon-nucleon exotic scattering, and the short range attraction present in…
A critical look is taken at both positive and null evidence for the $\Theta^+$ pentaquark. Potential problems with experiments will be discussed and the question of what conclusion can be drawn from both the positive and the null results is…
We report the recent results of a search for the decay B- --> tau- anti-nu_tau, observations of new resonances X, Y and Z, and the first results from Upsilon(5S) data collected with the Belle detector at KEKB e+e- collider.
The isovector partners of the X(3872), recently found at BES III, Belle and CLEO-c were predicted in a simple model based on the chromomagnetic interaction among quarks (H. Hogaasen, J-M. Richard and P. Sorba, Phys. Rev. D73, 054013, 2006).…
Recent results from H1 and ZEUS on searches for exotic baryons in $ep$ collisions at HERA are reviewed. Evidence for the production of the strange pentaquark $\Theta^+$ and of a narrow anti-charmed baryon decaying to $D^{*-} p$ together…
The experimental status of the pentaquark searches is briefly reviewed. Recent null results by the CLAS collaboration are commented, and new strong evidence of a very narrow Theta+ resonance by the DIANA collaboration is presented. On the…
There are several reasons to believe that some of the new particles observed at B-factories have no ordinary quark composition. We briefly illustrate the diquark-antidiquark model and the recent experimental discoveries which confirm some…
New data from BESIII and LHCb show the existence of resonances with strangeness filling multiplets of the broken SU(3)_f symmetry, with the pattern predicted by the quark model. This is the case of the newly discovered Z_{cs} (3985) and…
Very recently a new enhancement around 4.05 GeV was observed by Belle experiment. In this short note, we discuss some possible assignments for this enhancement, i.e. $\psi(3S)$ and $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular state. In these two assignments,…
Although the Theta has been listed as a three star resonance in the 2004 PDG,its existence is still not completely established. Now it is still of interest to see what QCD has to say on the subject, In this paper we review briefly the…
We present a preliminary study of $X(3872)$ and $X(3915)$ in the $B\rightarrow(J/\Psi\omega)K$ decay at Belle. This study is based on MC simulated events on the Belle detector at the KEK asymmetric-energy $e+e-$ collider.
The quark model does not exclude states composed of more than three quarks, like pentaquark systems. Controversial evidence for such states has been published in the last years, in particular: for a strange pentaquark Theta(1540)+; for a…
This review presents recent results on new particle searches achieved at Tevatron, Hera and LEP. After a brief outline of the searches on exotic particles, results on supersymmetric particles and Higgs bosons are detailed. Near future…
The Sigma(1385) analysis and the current status of pentaquark search with the STAR detector are reported. The corrected p_{T} spectra and the yields of the Sigma ^{\pm}(1385) and their antiparticles in the most central Au+Au as well as…
In this invited short "news and views", we review very briefly the history of pentaquark studies and the recent observations of the tetraquark and pentaquark states. We also discuss further experimental studies such as at Belle-II.
Recently the Belle collaboration discovered two resonances, Zb(10610) and Zb(10650), that lie very close to the B\bar{B}^* and B^*\bar{B}^* thresholds, respectively. It is natural to suppose that these are molecular states of bottom and…
We review and discuss the experimental evidence on predicted baryonic states made by 4 quarks and one antiquark, called pentaquarks. Theoretical and experimental advances in the last few years led to the observation of pentaquark candidates…
