The past decade witnessed the observation of several exotic charmonium-like resonances, some of which are manifestly non-qqbar mesons. We review one of the most popular interpretations of such states: the compact tetraquark in the…
A search for an exotic baryon resonance with $S=-2, Q=-2$ has been performed in quasi-real photoproduction on a deuterium target through the decay channel $\Xi^- \pi^- \to \Lambda \pi^- \pi^- \to p \pi^- \pi^- \pi^-$. No evidence for a…
The description of baryon resonance decays represents a major challenge of strong interaction physics. We will report on a relativistic approach to mesonic decays of light and strange baryon resonances within constituent quark models. The…
Baryon resonance state with strangeness $S = +1$ observed in systems $p K^0$ and $n K^+$ is interpreted as a result of the decay $N^{*+} \to p \eta$ of the well-known resonance $N^*(1535)$ (with spin-parity $j^P = {1/2}^-$ and mass $m…
The status of exotic baryons is analyzed in the limit of a large number of colors Nc. Several toy models reproducing the main features of the large-Nc QCD are studied in order to clarify the recent controversy concerning the consistency of…
Experimental evidence has been growing for the existence of both molecular and exotic dibaryons. The former are dominated by hadron and the latter by quark-gluon degrees of freedom. Exotic dihadrons are of particular interest because their…
We study the large $N_c$ behavior of couplings among light meson states with different compositions in terms of quarks and gluons. We shortly review the most common compositions of mesons, which are of interest for the understanding of…
Several recent experiments have reported evidence for a narrow feature in the K(+)-neutron system, an apparent resonant state ~ 100 MeV above threshold and with a width < 25 MeV. This state has been labelled as Theta(+) (previously as…
We investigate the pentaquark($P$) exotic baryons as soliton-antiflavored heavy mesons bound states in the limit of infinitely heavy meson mass. Our approach respects the chiral symmetry as well as the heavy quark symmetry. The results…
We explore a possibility to generate exotic hadrons dynamically in the scattering of hadrons. The s-wave scattering amplitude of an arbitrary hadron with the Nambu-Goldstone boson is constructed so as to satisfy the unitarity condition and…
We analyze excited baryon properties via a 1/N_c expansion from two perspectives: as resonances in meson-nucleon scattering, and as single-quark excitations in the context of a simple quark model. For both types of analysis one can derive…
The quark potential model and resonating group method are used to investigate the $\bar{K}N$ bound states and/or resonances. The model potential consists of the t-channel and s-channel one-gluon exchange potentials and the confining…
Recently, Belle Collaboration reported a new exotic state $Y(4620)$ with mass at 4625.9 MeV in the positronium annihilation process. Inspired by experiment, we study the tetraquark system $c\bar{s}s\bar{c}$ with quantum numbers…
Motivated by the recent BESIII experiment~\cite{BESIII:2024muk} searching for hidden-strange exotic hadrons, we perform a systematic theoretical study of the hidden-strange pentaquark system within the framework of the quark delocalization…
We evaluate the masses and decay constants of the $0^+$ and $1^-$ open-charm $(\bar{c}\bar{d})(us)$ tetraquarks and molecular states from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) by using QCD Laplace sum rule (LSR). This method takes into account the…
A strangeness +1 exotic baryon Theta^+ has recently been seen in a number of experiments. We demonstrate that in large N_c QCD the existence of such a state implies the existence of S = +1 partner states with various spins and isospins but…
Narrow Xi-pi+- and Xi-bar+pi+- resonances produced by quasi-real photons have been searched for by the COMPASS experiment at CERN. The study was stimulated by the recent observation of an exotic baryonic state decaying into Xi-pi-, at a…
The meson $X(3872)$ and several related states appear to be, at least in part, hadronic molecules in which a heavy flavored meson (such as $D^0$) is bound to another heavy meson (such as $\bar D^{*0}$). Although not the only effect…
The discovery of some baryon-antibaryon resonances has led us to consider 3q~3\bar{q} systems as possible candidates. We predict their spectrum in the framework of a constituent model, where the chromo-magnetic interaction plays the main…
If baryon-number nonconservation exists in the form of an effective six-quark operator which also changes strangeness by four units, it could have a tremendous impact on the absolute stability of strange quark matter. We show that such an…
