Decays of the fully beauty four-quark structures $X_{\mathrm{4b}}$ and $T_{ \mathrm{4b}}$ to $B$ meson pairs are investigated in the framework of QCD three-point sum rule method. We model the scalar exotic mesons $X_{\mathrm{4b }}$ and…
We study compact hidden charm pentaquarks in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, previously introduced for tetraquarks, assuming the heavy pair to be in a color octet. We show that Fermi statistics applied to the complex of the three light…
We apply the method of QCD sum rules to study the $s q \bar s \bar q$ tetraquark states with the exotic quantum number $J^{PC} = 3^{-+}$, and extract mass of the lowest-lying state to be $2.33^{+0.19}_{-0.16}$ GeV. To construct the relevant…

Recently the observation of a new pentaquark state, the hidden-charmed strange $P_{cs}(4459)^0$, was reported by the LHCb Collaboration. The spin-parity quantum numbers of this state were not determined as a result of insufficient…
We introduce strong and electromagnetic interaction selection rules for the two-body decay and production of exotic J^{PC} = 0^{+-}, 1^{-+}, 2^{+-}, 3^{-+} hybrid mesons, four-quark states and glueballs. The rules arise from symmetrization…
We explore the connection between pentaquarks and dibaryons composed of three diquarks in the framework of the diquark model. With the available experimental data on H dibaryon, we estimate the Pauli blocking and annihilation effects and…
In this article, we study the decays $\psi^{\prime}\to {J/\psi}\pi^+\pi^-$ and $\eta_c^{\prime}\to {\eta_c}\pi^+\pi^-$ by taking into account the chiral symmetry breaking effects, the final-state interactions and the heavy quark symmetry.…

We compute the spectra of exotic pentaquarks and monopole excitations of the low--lying ${1/2}^+$ and ${3/2}^+$ baryons in a chiral soliton model. Once the low--lying baryon properties are fit, the other states are predicted without any…
We report a measurement of the ratios of the decay rates of the B^+, B^0 and B^0_s mesons into exclusive final states containing a J/psi meson. The final states were selected from 19.6 pb^{-1} of p-pbar collisions recorded by the Collider…
