Some recent progress and a personal selection of open problems in heavy quarkonium physics (spectroscopy, decay and production) inspired by the activity of the Quarkonium Working Group are reviewed.
In this talk we review the limitations of including meson loops as perturbative corrections in a solvable quark model. We first discuss meson-meson scattering within a formalism which treats confined quark pairs and mesons on an equal…
In this work we evaluate the masses of the $|(b\bar{s})[n]\rangle$ or $|(\bar{b}s)[n]\rangle$ quarkonium ($\bar{B}^{0}_{s}$ or ${B}^{0}_{s}$ meson) under the B.T. potential, and the values of the Schr${\rm \ddot{o}}$dinger radial wave…
The recent development of perturbative QCD (PQCD) fragmentation functions has strong impact on quarkonium production. I shall summarize $B_c$ meson production based on these PQCD fragmentation functions, as well as, the highlights of some…
The hard contributions to the heavy quarkonium-nucleon cross sections are calculated based on the QCD factorization theorem and the nonrelativistic quarkonium model. We evaluate the nonperturbative part of these cross sections which…
Measurements of production cross-sections of inclusive $b$-hadrons pairs, bottom mesons and baryons, and quarkonia at LHC will be shown. Recent measurements of branching fractions of bottom baryons, bottom mesons with baryons in the final…
Heavy ion collisions are rich and complex systems that involve different aspects of QCD and electromagnetic phenomena. From head-on collisions to the case in which the nuclei miss each other, many of QCD and photo-induced probes are being…
We consider meson-baryon interactions in S-wave with strangeness -1. This is a non-perturbative sector populated by plenty of resonances interacting in several two-body coupled channels.We study this sector combining a large set of…
Recent results on meson spectroscopy from lattice QCD are reviewed. The emphasis is on interesting states near thresholds like $Z_c^+(3900)$, $X(3872)$ and $D_{s0}^*(2317)$. Another focus is on the meson resonances in light, strange and…
The excited isovector meson spectrum is explored using two chirally improved dynamical quarks. Seven ensembles, with pion masses down to \approx 250 MeV are discussed and used for extrapolations to the physical point. Strange mesons are…
Heavy meson spectroscopy above open flavor thresholds has become a challenge both from the experimental and theoretical points of view. Experimentally, several signals have been interpreted as meson resonances with unusual properties;…
We discuss three possible scenarios for the interpretation of mesons containing a heavy quark and its antiquark near and above the first threshold for a decay into a pair of heavy mesons in a relative $S$--wave. View I assumes that these…
A review is presented of past and recent attempts to build multiquark states within current models already describing ordinary mesons and baryons. This includes: coherence in the chromomagnetic interaction, tetraquarks with two heavy…
We give a pedagogical introduction to heavy quarkonia -- bound states of a heavy quark and its antiquark (e.g., charmonium $c\bar{c}$, bottomonium $b\bar{b}$) -- as well as to the exotic hadrons containing two heavy quarks that have been…
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 importance of $S$-matrix unitarity in realistic meson spectroscopy is reviewed, both its historical development and more recent applications. First the effects of imposing $S$-matrix unitarity on meson resonances is demonstrated in both…
Meson production on the proton is described in a coupled channels K-matrix approach. Both hadronic and photonic scenarios are taken into account on the same theoretical footing. At tree-level the Born amplitudes are obtained from an…
The study of baryon resonances via meson photoproduction reactions on the free proton and on nucleons in the nuclear medium is discussed. Special emphasis is laid on the production of neutral mesons which due to the suppression of…
We report on our recent investigations in photonuclear production of heavy quarks and vector meson in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions. In particular, our theoretical predictions are compared with the recent experimental measurements on…
Properties of bottom and bottom-strange mesons are computed in two relativized quark models. Model masses and wavefunctions are used to predict radiative transition rates and the $^3P_0$ quark pair creation model is used to compute strong…
