Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported a signal for a new resonance in the $D_s^+ \pi^\pm$ invariant mass distribution in the decays $B\to \bar{D}^{(*)} D_s^+ \pi^+ \pi^-$ (arXiv:2411.03399). This could be a direct observation of an…
In order to classify the charmed-strange mesons, including puzzling D_{s0}^{*}(2317) and D_{s1}(2460), and recently observed D_{s1}^{*}(2710) and D_{sJ}^{*}(2860), we employ the U~(12)*O(3,1) level-classification scheme of hadrons proposed…
We discuss several new observations of mesons with open charm. In particular, we consider $D_{sJ}(2317)$ and $D_{sJ}(2460)$ and compare their isospin violating decays into $D^{(*)}_s \pi$ to the radiative decays analysed using light-cone…
In this work, we tentatively assign the charmed mesons $D_{J}(2580)$, $D_{J}^{*}(2650)$, $D_{J}(2740)$, $D_{J}^{*}(2760)$, $D_{J}(3000)$ and $D_{J}^{*}(3000)$ observed by the LHCb collaboration according to their spin-parity and masses,…
We study the structure of the $\Lambda_c(2595)$ and $\Lambda_c(2625)$ resonances in the framework of an effective field theory consistent with heavy quark spin and chiral symmetries, that incorporates the interplay between…
Experimental data from the 2m propane bubble chamber have been analyzed to search for an exotic baryon states, in the $K_s^0 p$, $K_s^0 \Lambda$ and $\Lambda p$ decay mode for the reaction p+$C_3H_8$ at 10 GeV/c. The invariant mass spectrum…
We will study open and hidden charm scalar meson resonances within two different models. The first one is a direct application of a chiral Lagrangian already used to study flavor symmetry breaking in Skyrme models. In another approach to…
Different experiments have confirmed that the $D_{s0}^{\ast}(2317)$ and $D_{s1}(2460)$ mesons are very narrow states located, respectively, below the $DK$ and $D^{\ast}K$ thresholds. This is markedly in contrast with the expectations of…
In this work, we systematically investigate the heavy-strange meson systems, $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}/\bar{B}^{(*)}K^{(*)}$ and $\bar{D}^{(*)}K^{(*)}/B^{(*)}K^{(*)}$, to study possible molecules in a quasipotenial Bethe-Salpter equation approach…
The existence of the $J^p=1/2^+$ narrow resonance predicted by the chiral soliton model has been investigated by utilizing the new kaon photoproduction data. For this purpose, we have constructed two phenomenological models, which are able…
We report on searches in deep inelastic $ep$ scattering for narrow baryonic states decaying into $\Xi^-\pi^-, \Xi^-\pi^+, \KS p$ and their charge conjugates, at centre-of-mass energies of 300 and 318 GeV. No signal for a new narrow baryonic…
Neutral orbitally excited P-wave charm mesons have been reconstructed in the D*+-pi-+ final state and the charm-strange meson D+-s1(2536) was found in the D*+-K0s final state. A search for radially excited charm mesons in the D*+-pi+pi-…
We investigate the in-medium masses of open charm mesons ($D$($D^0$, $D^+$), $\bar{D}$($\bar{D^0}$, $D^-$), $D_s$(${D_{s}}^+$, ${D_{s}}^-$)) and charmonium states ($J/\psi$, $\psi(3686)$, $\psi(3770)$, $\chi_{c0}$, $\chi_{c2}$) in strongly…
Our study focuses on the weak decay of $ D_s^+ \to p \overline{n} $, which is the only possible two-body baryonic decay in the $ D $ meson system. An analysis using perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD) is challenging in this decay due…
The experimental status concerning the two new narrow states with charm-strange content is reviewed. The states have masses of 2317 and 2460 MeV, widths less than 10 MeV, isospin consistent with zero, and spin-parities consistent with being…
A search for charmed baryons decaying to $D^0 p$ reveals two states: the $\Lambda_c(2880)^+$ baryon and a previously unobserved state at a mass of [$2939.8\pm 1.3 \text{(stat.)}\pm 1.0 \text{(syst.)}$]~\mevcc and with an intrinsic width of…
We study the masses of the low-lying charm and bottom mesons within the framework of heavy- hadron chiral perturbation theory (HHChPT). We work to third order in the chiral expansion, where meson loops contribute. In contrast to previous…
We have studied the meson-baryon $S-$wave interaction, using coupled channels, in the isoscalar hidden-charm strange sector and $J^P = 1/2^-,3/2^-$ and $5/2^-$. We impose constraints of heavy quark spin symmetry in the interaction and…
The masses of higher $D(nL)$ and $D_s(nL)$ excitations are shown to decrease due to the string contribution, originating from the rotation of the QCD string itself: it lowers the masses by 45 MeV for $L=2 (n=1)$ and by 65 MeV for $L=3…
Scalar tetraquark states are studied within the diquark-antidiquark picture in a non-relativistic approach. We consider two types of confining potentials, a quadratic and a linear one, to which we also add spin-spin, isospin-isospin, and…
