I review highlights of recent results in quark-flavor physics and heavy-quark spectroscopy from lattice QCD, with emphasis on $B$-meson decays and excited and exotic charmonium states.
The lowest dimension three-gluon currents that couple to the exotic $0^{\pm-}$ glueballs have been constructed using the helicity formalism. Based on the constructed currents, we obtain new QCD SRs that have been used to extract the masses…
We report on the extraction of an excited spectrum of isoscalar mesons using lattice QCD. Calculations on several lattice volumes are performed with a range of light quark masses corresponding to pion masses down to about 400 MeV. The…
A review of the theoretical and experimental status of hybrid hadrons is presented. The states $\pi_1(1400)$, $\pi_1(1600)$, and $\pi_1(2015)$ are thoroughly reviewed, along with experimental results from GAMS, VES, Obelix, COMPASS, KEK,…
We investigate the possibility that the light-mass exotic mesons with J^PC=1^-+ observed at BNL and CERN may be resonances in the eta-pi and eta'-pi systems associated with the anomalous glue which generates the eta' mass in QCD.
We present highly-excited charmonium, $D_s$ and $D$ meson spectra from dynamical lattice QCD calculations with light quarks corresponding to $M_{\pi} \sim 240$ MeV and compare these to previous results with $M_{\pi} \sim 400$ MeV. Utilising…
We review the exotic states, such as the $X$, $Y$, $Z$, $T$ and $P$ states, and present their possible assignments based on the QCD sum rules. We present many predictions which can be confronted to the experimental data in the future to…
Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory that describes how hadrons are built from quarks and gluons via the strong interaction. Many predictions have been experimentally confirmed, but others remain under experimental investigation. Of…
Time correlation functions of a hybrid exotic meson operator, with JPC=1-+, generated in quenched lattice QCD are subjected to a (Bayesian) maximum entropy analysis. Five distinct spectral levels are uncovered. Their extrapolation into the…
Exotic mesons with quantum numbers of a hybrid ($\bar{q} q g$) such as $J^{PC} = 1^{-+}$are shown to exist as narrow resonant states in the large $N_c$ limit of QCD. The width of these states is proportional to $1/N_c$. Possible…
Lattice QCD approach to study the hadronic resonances and exotic hadrons is described at an introductory level. The main challenge is that these states decay strongly via one or more decay channels, and they often lie near thersholds.…
We study heavy hadron spectroscopy near open bottom thresholds. We employ B and B* mesons as effective degrees of freedom near the thresholds, and consider meson exchange potentials between them. All possible composite states which can be…
A phenomenological analysis of the scalar glueball and scalar meson spectra is carried out by using the AdS/QCD framework in the bottom-up approach. The resulting spectra are in good agreement for glueballs with lattice QCD results and for…
I review lattice QCD results for hybrid mesons, including a discussion of their hadronic decays.
In this study, the spectroscopic parameters of the exotic molecular states composed of mesons containing two heavy quarks (scalar-axial and pseudoscalar-axial meson combinations) are investigated within QCD sum rules. Our findings reveal…
We represent QCD at the hadronic scale by means of an effective Hamiltonian, H, formulated in the Coulomb gauge. As in the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model, chiral symmetry is dynamically broken, however our approach is renormalizable and also…
We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the $B_s$ and $B_d$ mixing parameters with physical light quark masses. We use MILC gluon field configurations that include $u$, $d$, $s$ and $c$ sea quarks at 3 values of the lattice spacing…
We discuss in detail the extraction of hadronic mixing strengths from lattice studies. We apply this to the mixing of a scalar glueball and a scalar meson in the quenched approximation. We also measure correlations appropriate for…
Lattice QCD gives reliable predictions for hybrid charmonium and multi-GeV glueball masses. Proton-antiproton annihilation may offer an excellent opportunity for the first observation of these states. There are two distinct possible…
Recent lattice studies of hadron properties, in particular of exotic states and charmonia are reviewed. Sea quark and quark mass effects are discussed as well as decays and mixing.
