We apply the QCD sum rule method to study the double-gluon hybrid states with the quark-gluon contents $\bar q q gg$ ($q=u/d$) and $\bar s s gg$. We construct twenty-eight double-gluon hybrid currents, eleven of which are found to be zero…
After the discovery of the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), many experimental and theoretical efforts have been made to investigate physics issues involved in ultra relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The fundamental goal of this work is to…
Mesons containing light and heavy quarks are studied. Interaction of quarks is described by the funnel-type potential with the distant dependent strong coupling, $\alpha_\S(r)$. Free particle hypothesis for the bound state is developed:…
We determine the masses of the light and the strange quarks in the $\bar{MS}$-scheme using our high-statistics lattice simulation of QCD with dynamical Wilson fermions. For the light quark mass we find $m^{light}_{\bar{MS}}(2 GeV) = 2.7(2)…
Quarkonium-nucleus systems are composed of two interacting hadronic states without common valence quarks, which interact primarily through multi-gluon exchanges, realizing a color van der Waals force. We present lattice QCD calculations of…
I review the results from lattice gauge theory for the masses of exotic hybrid mesons.
The colored objects -- quarks and gluons -- being confined in a small volume $V\sim R_0^3,$ $R_0\sim 0.5$fm inside the QCD bound state get there not small masses $m_{q\bar q}\sim 1$GeV, $m_g\sim 0.5$GeV. This drastically simplifies the QCD…
In recent years there has been a rapidly growing body of experimental evidence for existence of exotic, multiquark hadrons, i.e. mesons which contain additional quarks, beyond the usual quark-antiquark pair and baryons which consist of more…
The chromoelectric and chromomagnetic fields, created by a static gluon-quark-antiquark system, are computed in quenched SU(3) lattice QCD, in a $24^3\times 48$ lattice at $\beta=6.2$ and $a=0.07261(85) fm$. We compute the hybrid Wilson…
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…
The discovery of hadronic states beyond the conventional two-quark meson and three-quark baryon picture in the last two decades is one of the most amazing accomplishments in fundamental physics research. Many experiments contributed to this…
I review some selected aspects of the phenomenology of multiquark states discovered in high energy experiments. They have four valence quarks (called tetraquarks) and two of them are found to have five valence quarks (called pentaquarks),…
A menage a trois is very different from an ordinary family. Similarly, exotic hadrons with both qq and qbar q pairs have important color-space correlations that are completely absent in ordinary mesons and baryons. The presence of both…
Hybrid mesons occupy a unique position in the hadronic spectrum, offering a valuable insight into the non-perturbative nature of the glue field. Hybrid states with exotic $J^{PC}$ quantum numbers, such as the $1^{-+}$, $0^{+-}$ and…
The XYZ mesons are unexpected mesons containing a heavy quark-antiquark pair that have been discovered during the last decade. The models for the XYZ mesons that have been proposed include conventional quarkonium, quarkonium hybrids, and…
Identifying hadronic molecular states and/or hadrons with multi-quark components either with or without exotic quantum numbers is a long standing challenge in hadronic physics. We suggest that studying the production of these hadrons in…
We discuss the allowed decays of a hybrid meson in the heavy quark limit. We deduce that an important decay will be into a heavy quark non-hybrid state and a light quark meson, in other words, the de-excitation of an excited gluonic string…
The model for constituent glue is presented starting from the perturbation theory in nonperturbative QCD vacuum. Green function is constructed for a system containing qqbar pair and gluon propagating in the vacuum background field, and…
We study the system of light mesons, charmonium and glueballs in the flavor singlet scalar channel where they can mix. We use lattice QCD simulations with an almost physical charm quark and three degenerate light quarks for two values of…
The mixing between q-qbar meson and qqbar-qqbar tetra-quark states is examined within an effective QCD Coulomb gauge Hamiltonian model. Mixing matrix elements of the Hamiltonian are computed and then diagonalized yielding an improved…
