Recently several experiments have reported evidences for pentaquark $\Theta^+$. H1 experiment at HERA-B has also reported evidence for $\Theta_c$. $\Theta^+$ is interpreted as a bound state of an $\bar s$ with other four light quarks $udud$…

More and more excited baryons have been reported experimentally, but many properties are still unclear. This work attempts to simultaneously study the masses and strong decay widths of some singly heavy baryons, in order to provide possible…

We extend the recently developed treatment of baryon resonances in large N_c QCD to describe resonance multiplets collected according to the SU(3) flavor symmetry that includes strange quarks. As an illustration we enumerate the SU(3)…

Assuming the two diquark structure for the pentaquark state as advocated in the Jaffe-Wilczek model, there exist exotic parity-even anti-sextet and parity-odd triplet heavy pentaquark baryons. The theoretical estimate of charmed and bottom…

We study the strong and radiative decays of the anti-quark-quark ground state $J^{PC} = 3^{--}$ ($n^{2 S + 1} L_J = 1^3 D_3$) nonet {$\rho_{3} (1690)$, $K_{3}^{\ast} (1780)$, $\phi_{3} (1850)$, $\omega_{3} (1670)$} in the framework of an…

We construct a complete classification of pentaquark states in terms of the spin-flavour SU(6) representations. We find that only some definite SU(3) representations are allowed, singlets, octets, decuplets, anti-decuplets, 27-plets and…

Masses of heavy mesons, tetraquarks and pentaquarks computed in a potential model are shown. Tetraquarks are studied as bound states of a diquark and an antidiquark. Pentaquarks are constructed from a series of two-body interactions between…

If the narrow exotic baryon resonances $\Theta^+(1540)$ and $\Xi_{{3/2}(1862)$ are members of the $J^P = {1/2}1/2^+$ antidecuplet with $N^*(1710)$, the octet-antidecuplet mixing is required not only by the mass spectrum but also by the…

The radiative meson decays $V\to P\gamma$ and $P\to \gamma\gamma$ are analyzed using the quark triangle diagram. Experimental data yield well determined estimates of the universal quark-antiquark-meson couplings $g_{Vq\bar{q}'}$ and…

We studied properties of the strange axial mesons in the relativized quark model. We calculated the $K_1$ decay constant in the quark model and showed how it can be used to extract the $K_1 (^3P_1) - K_1 (^1P_1)$ mixing angle ($\theta_K$)…

A systematic study of multiquark exotics with one or $N_c-1$ heavy quarks in the large $N_c$ limit is presented. By binding a chiral soliton to a heavy meson, either a normal $N_c$-quark baryon or an exotic $(N_c+2)$-quark baryon is…

The recently discovered tetraquark, $T_{cc}^+$, has quark content $cc\bar{u}\bar{d}$ and a mass that lies just below open charm thresholds. Hence it is reasonable to expect the state to have a significant molecular component. We calculate…

In this work, we extend our previous work on the $D^*\bar{D}^*$ molecular states with the $J^{PC}=0^{++}$, $1^{+-}$ and $2^{++}$ to investigate their two-body strong decays via the QCD sum rules based on rigorous quark-hadron duality. We…
