A study of $D^+\pi^-$, $D^0 \pi^+$ and $D^{*+}\pi^-$ final states is performed using pp collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 $fb^{-1}$, collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the LHCb detector. The…
The masses of cryptoexotic pentaquarks with hidden beauty are estimated phenomenologically using the results by the LHCb collaboration which discovered recently the cryptoexotic pentaquarks with hidden charm. The expected masses of the…
We briefly analyze aspects of open and hidden charm resonances, discussing in particular the mesons $D_{sJ}(2860)$ and X(3872).
We investigate whether the final state interaction (FSI) effect plays a significant role in the large hidden charm decay width of X(3872) and Y(3940) using a model. Our numerical result suggests (1) the FSI contribution to $X(3872)\to…
In a previous work we presented a theoretical analysis of the $\Lambda_b \to J/\psi K^- p$ reaction from where a recent experiment by the LHCb collaboration at CERN claimed the existence of two hidden charm pentaquarks, $P_c(4380)^+$ and…
Motivated by the recent discovery of the hidden charm exotic state with strangeness by the BESIII and LHCb Collaborations, we study the $S$ wave strange hidden bottom tetraquark in two kinds of quark models. Both meson-meson and…
Recent hadronic charm decay results from fixed-target experiments are presented. New measurements of the D0 to K-K+K-pi+ branching ratio are shown as are recent results from Dalitz plot fits to D+ to K-K+pi+, pi+pi-pi+, K-pi+pi+, K+pi-pi+…
In this article, we assume that there exist hidden charmed tetraquark states with the spin-parity $J^P=1^-$, and calculate their masses with the QCD sum rules. The numerical result indicates that the masses of the vector hidden charmed…
The $\ppp = \psi(3770)$ resonance is expected to be mainly $c \bar c(1^3D_1)$, but tensor forces and coupling to charmed particle pairs can mix it with $\pp(2^3S_1)$ and other states. Implications of this mixing for decays of $\ppp$ to…
We discuss recent achievements in light scalar mesons spectroscopy through amplitude analysis of charm particle decay and its consequences. The high statistics clean samples of charmed mesons, in addition to it's definite J^P and mass, is…
Using data recorded by the CLEO II detector at CESR, we report evidence for two new charmed baryons, one decaying into $\Xi_c^+\pi^+\pi^-$ via an intermediate $\Xi_c^{*0}$, and its isospin partner decaying into $\Xi_c^0\pi^+\pi^-$ via an…
We study two- and three-baryon systems with two units of charm looking for possible bound states or resonances. All two-baryon interactions are consistently derived from a constituent quark model tuned in the light-flavor hadron…
A biased review of recent results in charm physics is presented. New results on D0 anti-D0 mixing, rare decays of D0 and D+/-, scalar resonances in D+ and Ds decays, and new decay modes and mass measurements in Lambda_c, Xi_c, Omega_c, and…
Identifying a zero-range exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, a rich spectrum of molecules is formed. We argue that chiral symmetry and large-$N_c$…
The resonance D*_sJ (2317) which is considered to be the 1^3P_0 state composed of charm and strange quarks has been discovered recently. The measured mass, which is about 160 MeV lower than the mass of the 1^3P_0 state obtained from the…
A slow $J/\psi$ bump exists in the inclusive $B\to J/\psi + X$ spectrum, while the softness of $J/\psi$ spectrum in $\Upsilon(1S) \to J/\psi + X$ decay is in strong contrast with expectations from color octet mechanism. We propose {\it…
I briefly review the properties of the hidden charm meson X(3872), discussing some puzzling aspects concerning its theoretical interpretation.
We study the X(3872)-->D^0 \bar D^0 \pi^0 decay within a D \bar D^* molecular picture for the X(3872) state. This decay mode is more sensitive to the long-distance structure of the X(3872) resonance than its J/\psi\pi\pi and J/\psi3\pi…
Heavy-light diquarks can be the building blocks of a rich spectrum of states which can accommodate some of the newly observed charmonium-like resonances not fitting a pure c-cbar assignment. We examine this possibility for hidden and open…
It is suggested that the recently observed enhancement of the relative yield in $e^+e^-$ annihilation of states with hidden charm and hidden strangeness above 4.43\,GeV is associated with the $S$ wave production of the charmed strange meson…
