Using the potentials derived from vector-meson-exchanges, the $K\bar K$, $DK$, $B\bar K$, $D\bar D$, $B\bar B$, $BD$, $\bar D K$, $BK$ and $B\bar D$ systems are studied. Possible S-wave bound-states of two pseudoscalar mesons are discussed.…
The exploration of energies above the open-flavor threshold in the meson spectra has led to the appearance of unexpected states difficult to accommodate in the naive picture of a bound state of a quark and an antiquark. Many of such states…
We consider the interactions in a mesonic system, referred here to as `tetron', consisting of two heavy quarks and two lighter antiquarks (which may still be heavy in the scale of QCD), i.e. generally $Q_a Q_b \bar q_c \bar q_d$, and study…
The systematics of deuteronlike two-meson bound states, {\it deusons}, is discussed. Previous arguments that many of the present non-$q\bar q$ states are such states are elaborated including, in particular, the tensor potential. For…
It is proposed that meson resonances are linear combinations of q-qbar and meson-meson (MM); baryon resonances are combinations of qqq and meson-baryon (MB). Mixing between these combinations arises via decays of confined states to…
We perform a systematic study of the possible molecular states composed of a pair of heavy mesons such as $D^{(*)}D^{(*)}$, $D^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ in the framework of the one-boson-exchange model. The exchanged bosons include the…
Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) is the theory of the strong interaction. The fundamental particles of QCD, quarks and gluons, carry colour charge and form colourless bound states at low energies. The hadronic bound states of primary interest…
A systematic study of possible deuteronlike two-meson bound states, {\it deusons}, is presented. Previous arguments that many such bound states may exist are elaborated with detailed arguments and numerical calculations including, in…
In this talk I make a review on the theoretical and experimental situation around the deeply bound kaon clusters, the possible bound kaonic states of nuclear, rather than atomic nature. At the same time I discuss novel developments around…
The decays and mixing of $K$ mesons are remarkably sensitive to the weak interactions of quarks and leptons at high energies. They provide important tests of the standard model at both first and second order in the Fermi constant $G_F$ and…
We analyze the properties of mesons in 1+1 dimensional QCD with bosonic and fermionic ``quarks'' in the large $\nc$ limit. We study the spectrum in detail and show that it is impossible to obtain massless mesons including boson constituents…
QCD theory allows the existence of states which cannot be built by the naive quark model; both theoretical arguments and experimental data confirm the hypothesis that gluons may have freedom degrees at the constituent level, and should be…
In this work, we systematically investigate the two-pseudoscalar meson systems with the Bethe-Salpeter equation in the ladder and instantaneous approximations. By solving the Bethe-Salpeter equation numerically with the kernel containing…
Mesons with masses below their lowest OZI-allowed strong-decay thresholds have very small widths. Thus, it is usually believed that they can be safely treated as pure quark-antiquark bound states in spectroscopy models. However, unitarised…
A phenomenological estimate is derived such that the binding energies of dimesons are expressed as combinations of masses of different mesons and baryons. The estimate is almost model-independent, the only major assumptions being that the…
It is proposed that meson resonances are linear combinations of q-qbar and meson-meson (MM); baryon resonances are combinations of qqq and meson-baryon (MB). Mixing between these combinations arises via decays of confined states to…
The vast majority of mesons can be understood as quark-antiquark states. Yet, various other possibilities exists: glueballs (bound-state of gluons), hybrids (quark-antiquark plus gluon), and four-quark states (either as diquark-antidiquark…
We predict several new exotic doubly-heavy hadronic resonances, inferring from the observed exotic bottomonium-like and charmonium-like narrow states $X(3872)$, $Z_b(10610)$, $Z_b(10650)$, $Z_c(3900)$, and $Z_c(4020/4025)$. We interpret the…
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…
Nowadays, there exists an abundance of theoretical approaches towards the mesonic spectrum, ranging from confinement models of all kinds, i.e., glueballs, and quark-antiquark, multiquark and hybrid configurations, to models in which only…
