The discovery of three pentaquark peaks -- the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ -- by the LHCb collaboration has a series of interesting consequences for hadron spectroscopy. If these hidden-charm objects are indeed hadronic…
Recent results in the field of Heavy Quarkonia are reviewed, with results either providing new precision measurements or addressing key unanswered questions.
A brief survey is presented of selected recent results in hadron spectroscopy and related theoretical studies. This includes the pentaquarks and hadrons containing one or two charmed quarks or antiquarks.
We study spin 1/2 isoscalar and isovector candidates in both parity channels for the recently discovered \Theta^+(1540) pentaquark particle in quenched lattice QCD. Our analysis takes into account all possible uncertainties, such as…
Our hadro-charmonium and compact tetraquark model predictions, published before the BESIII and LHCb experimental data for the $Z_{\rm cs}(3985)$ and $Z_{\rm cs}(4003)$ tetraquarks were released, match surprisingly well with them. Here, we…
Recently, several charmonium-like states above $D\bar{D}$ threshold have been discovered at the BELLE and BABAR $B$-factories. Some of these states are produced via Initial State Radiation ({\it e.g.} Y(4260) and Y(4350)) and some are…
In the simple color-magnetic interaction model, we investigate possible ground $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$ tetraquark states in the diquark-antidiquark basis. We use several methods to estimate the mass spectrum and discuss possible assignment for…
The review on experimental results on charmonium and charmonium-like spectroscopy from B-factories is presented. Main theoretical interpretations, such as conventional charmonium, molecular state, hybrids, tetraquarks and others are…
Recent experimental evidence for the Theta^+(1540) has given rise to much theoretical interest in exotic baryons. The Theta^+ is a baryon that has strangeness S=+1, meaning that it contains an anti-strange quark. Thus it cannot be…
We discuss exotic states X(3872) and $Z^+(4430)$, observed recently in experiment Belle. The QCD-string based explanation is suggested.
The HyperCP experiment reported the observation of three events for the $\Sigma^+ \rightarrow p \mu^+\mu^-$ decay. The dimuon masses of the observed events are clustered within the detector resolution of 1 MeV/$c^2$. These decays might be…
We introduce the hypothesis that diquarks and antidiquarks in tetraquarks are separated by a potential barrier. We show that this notion can answer satisfactorily long standing questions challenging the diquark-antidiquark model of exotic…
Recently the LHCb collaboration has observed a new pentaquark state, the $P_c(4337)^+$. Owing to its proximity to the $\chi_{c0}(1S) p$, $\bar{D}^* \Lambda_c$, $\bar{D} \Sigma_c$ and $\bar{D} \Sigma_c^*$ thresholds, this new pentaquark…
Recent results in the field of spectroscopy from the BABAR experiment are reported, with particular attention to the new states observed in ISR and $\gamma \gamma$ interactions using the full BABAR data sample. We confirm the states Y(4260)…
We present a spectroscopic investigation of 25 objects previously reported as possible Planetary Nebulae (PNe) in recent catalogs to obtain their physical properties and to establish their true nature. We found 11 objects showing intense…
In the past decade, exotic hadrons with charm and bottom flavors have been extensively studied both in experiments and in theories. In this review, we provide topical discussions by selecting $X,Y,Z$ particles, to which Belle has made…
Greig Cowan and Tim Gershon describe new types of matter called tetraquarks and pentaquarks, and discuss the outlook for understanding these particles.
We review our investigations devoted to the analysis of the resonances $ Z_{c}(3900)$, $Z_{c}(4430)$, $Z_{c}(4100)$, $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $a_1(1420)$ , $Y(4660)$, $X(2100)$, $X(2239)$ and $Y(2175)$ discovered in various processes by Belle,…
The mass of the newly discovered pentaquark is calculated within the framework of the SU(3) Skyrme Model. Various estimates based on the \emph{model independent} approach are compared with the model results and with the Chiral Quark Model.…
Studying scattering of heavy flavor hadrons and looking for bound states is shown to give experimental information otherwise unobtainable about effective two-body interactions between constituent $(qq)_6$ and $(\bar qq)_8$ pairs…
