We give a status report on quark flavour physics in view of the latest data from the B factories and the LHC, and discuss the impact of the latest experimental results on new physics in the MFV framework. We also show some examples of the…
We report on the most recent experimental progress on $XYZ$ charmoniumlike meson states and their possible counterparts in the $s\overline{s}$ and $b\overline{b}$ systems.
BaBar and Belle have recently revived the interest in charmonium spectroscopy, discovering many unexpected resonances. In this review, I'll focus mostly on the states found in B decays and double $\ccbar$. A better understanding of their…
The phenomenology of the so-called X, Y and Z hadronic resonances is hard to reconcile with standard charmonium or bottomonium interpretations. It has been suggested that some of these new hadrons can possibly be described as tightly bound…
We model the spectral effect of open flavor meson-meson thresholds in heavy quarkonia. The proposed energy dependent quark-antiquark static potential tries to incorporate in a quark model scheme the results from unquenched lattice…
I review here the most recent results about the observation and the study of hadronic bound states that do not fit well in the standard quarkonium picture. Several new states have been observed in the last few years, at B-, tau-Factories…
Previous work done in collaboration with David Brink is reviewed in the light of the recent observation of new charmonium-like resonances which can be interpreted as tetraquarks. In the framework of a schematic quark model the spectrum of…
New enhancements in the charmonium and bottomonium spectra observed since 2003 are very briefly reviewed. Special attention is paid to $\chi_{c1}(3872)$ (formerly $X(3872)$) owing to its remarkable proximity to the $\bar{D}^{\star0}\!D^0$…
We review the most recent results from experiments studying systems containing charmed quarks. The selection reflects the presenter's bias, and there is an emphasis on decays of open charm. We discuss precision measurements of various…
We discuss several new developments in the field of strange and heavy flavor physics in high energy heavy ion collisions. As shown by many recent theoretical works, heavy flavored particles give us a unique opportunity to study the…
We review the experimental and theoretical status of baryons containing one heavy quark. The charm and bottom baryon states are classified and their mass spectra are listed. The appropriate theoretical framework for the description of heavy…
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 $P_c^+(4312)$, $P_c^+(4440)$,…
The observation of many unexpected states decaying into heavy quarkonia has challenged the usual Q-Qbar interpretation. We will discuss the nature of some of the charmonium-like resonances recently observed by BES III and LHCb, and their…
An effective Lagrangian approach based on the heavy quark and chiral symmetry is introduced to analyse the spectroscopy of open charm mesons. Strong two-body decay widths and ratios of branching fractions are computed, and this piece of…
Using the quark-diquark approximation in the framework of Buchm\" uller-Tye potential model, we investigate the spectroscopy of doubly charmed baryons: $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ and $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$. Our results include the masses, parameters of radial…
I review the recent $B$-factory measurements of new states which, in some cases, exhibit Charmonium-like properties, and in other cases suggest the existence of a new spectroscopy. Several theoretical interpretations of the new states have…
Hadron spectroscopy represented in the past a major tool for understanding the fundamental symmetries of strong forces. More recently, the interest on this topic has been revitalized by the discovery of new quarkonium-like resonances, that…
The physics of charm has become one of the best laboratories exposing the limitations of the naive constituent quark model and also giving hints into a more mature description of hadron spectroscopy. Recent discoveries are a challenge that…
We review recent progress in the understanding of the physics of heavy baryons. We begin our review by presenting some highlights of recent experimental findings on charm and bottom baryons and briefly comment on their theoretical…
We present a mini-review on charm spectroscopy at the BaBar experiment. We first report on the $c\bar{s}$ meson spectrum, and present precise measurements of the $D_{s1}(2536)$ meson as well as the properties of the many new states…
