We consider decays of the hidden charm LHCb pentaquarks in the hadrocharmonium and molecular scenarios. In both pictures the LHCb pentaquarks are essentially nonrelativistic bound states. We develop a semirelativistic framework for…
The $J/\psi p$ signals at 4380 MeV and 4450 MeV which were seen by the LHCb collaboration in the decay $\Lambda^0_b\to K^-J/\psi p$ are discussed following the hypothesis of the existence of diquark-diquark-antiquark composite states. The…
We study the decay of Theta+ in a non-relativistic quark model. The wave function of Theta+ is constructed for the two cases JP = 1/2+- as products of color, spin, flavor and orbital parts respecting total antisymmetrization among the four…
In this paper we study the properties of diquarks (composed of $u$ and/or $d$ quarks) in the Bethe-Salpeter formalism under the covariant instantaneous approximation. We calculate their BS wave functions and study their effective…
We investigate the hidden-charm pentaquarks as superpositions of $\Lambda_c \bar{D}^{(*)}$ and $\Sigma_c^{(*)} \bar{D}^{(*)}$ (isospin $I = 1/2$) meson-baryon channels coupled to a $uudc\bar{c}$ compact core by employing an interaction…
Pentaquark baryons $\Theta^{+}$ and $\Xi^{--}$ are studied in the dual gravity theory of QCD in which simple mass formulae of pentaquarks are derived in the Maldacena prototype model for supersymmetric QCD and a more realistic model for…
In previous papers we developed the light front formulation for Hamiltonians and wave functions (WFs) for mesons and baryons, with both confinement and chiral symmetry breaking. For baryons limited to the lowest Fock component with three…
We systematically study the mass spectrum and strong decays of the S-wave $\bar c\bar s q q$ states in the compact tetraquark scenario with the quark model. The key ingredients of the model are the Coulomb, the linear confinement, and the…
We study the possibility that four $\Xi$ resonances $(\Xi(1620)$, $\Xi(1690)$, $\Xi(1820)$, $\Xi(1950))$ could correspond to pentaquark states, in the form of meson-baryon bound systems. We also explore the possible existence of doubly…
We use a constituent model to analyze the stability of pentaquark $\bar Q qqqq$ configurations with a heavy antiquark $\bar c$ or $\bar b$, and four light quarks $uuds$, $ddsu$ or $ssud$. The interplay between chromoelectric and…
Using an effective Lagrangian approach based on heavy quark symmetry and chiral dynamics, we explore the strong decay widths and branching ratios of various resonances and suggest their JP find the coupling constants involved in the strong…
We consider the mass splittings and strong decays of members of the lowest-lying pentaquark multiplet, which we take to be a parity-odd antidecuplet. We derive useful decompositions of the quark model wave functions that allow for easy…
Inspired by the fully heavy tetraquark states reported by the LHCb, ATLAS and CMS Collaborations, we perform a systemical investigation of the low-lying fully heavy pentaquark systems composed of charm and bottom quarks (anti-quark) in the…
We study the hadronic molecular structure of hidden heavy pentaquarks - new exotic states composed of charmed/bottom baryons and $D(D^*)/B(B^*)$ mesons. Based on the observation of three pentaquark candidates $P_c^+(4312)$, $P_c^+(4440)$,…
The LHCb Collaboration has recently reported strong evidences of the existence of pentaquark states in the hidden-charm baryon sector, the so-called $P_c(4380)^+$ and $P_c(4450)^+$ signals. Five-quark bound states in the hidden-charm sector…
We systematically study hidden charm pentaquark states in the constituent quark model with a general Hamiltonian for multiquark systems, considering the coupling between the $\Sigma_c^{(*)}\bar{D}^{(*)}$ molecular states and the $q^3c\bar…
In this work, we investigate the exclusive decays of the fully heavy tetraquark states $T_{4c,b}$ into light mesons, specifically $\pi$ and $K$, using the framework of Non-Relativistic QCD (NRQCD) and collinear QCD factorization for hard…
Investigations of the existence of pentaquark states containing a single $b$ (anti)quark decaying weakly into four specific final states J/$\psi K^+\pi^- p$, J/$\psi K^- \pi^- p$, J/$\psi K^- \pi^+ p$, and $J/\psi \phi (1020) p$ are…
In this article, we tentatively assign the $P_c(4312)$ to be the $\bar{D}\Sigma_c$ pentaquark molecular state with the spin-parity $J^P={\frac{1}{2}}^-$, and discuss the factorizable and non-factorizable contributions in the two-point QCD…
