In the limit of heavy quark masses going to infinity, a symmetry is known to emerge in QCD relating properties of hadrons with two heavy quarks to analogous states with one heavy anti-quark. A key question is whether the charm mass is heavy…
We review the weak-decay and spectroscopy properties of baryons with two charmed quarks. We also present the convergent speculations on exotic mesons $(QQ\bar{q}\bar{q})$ with two heavy quarks and two light antiquarks.
We discuss the extension of the superflavor symmetry of doubly heavy baryons to states which contain an excited heavy diquark, and we examine some of the consequences of this symmetry for the spectra of doubly heavy baryons and heavy…
Adopting the one-boson-exchange model, we perform a systematic investigation of interactions between a doubly charmed baryon $(\Xi_{cc})$ and an $S$-wave charmed baryon ($\Lambda_c$, $\Sigma_c^{(*)}$, and $\Xi_c^{(\prime,*)}$). Both the…
The phenomenology of the so-called X, Y and Z hadronic resonances is hard to reconcile with standard charmonium or bottomonium interpretations. It has been suggested that some of these new hadrons can possibly be described as tightly bound…
Possible experimental searches of doubly charmed baryons and tetraquarks at fixed target experiments with high energy hadron beams and a high intensity spectrometer are considered here. The baryons considered are: $\Xi_{cc}^{+}$ (ccd),…
The masses of the excited heavy tetraquarks with hidden charm are calculated within the relativistic diquark-antidiquark picture. The dynamics of the light quark in a heavy-light diquark is treated completely relativistically. The diquark…
The existence of bound doubly heavy tetraquark states was confirmed by the recent LHCb discovery of the doubly charmed $T_{cc}$, less than 1 MeV below the meson pair threshold. Others states with two heavy (bottom or charm) quarks could…

During the last three years strong experimental evidence from $B$ and charm factories has been accumulating for the existence of exotic hadronic quarkonia, narrow resonances which cannot be made from a quark and an antiquark. Their masses…
For very heavy quarks, relations derived from heavy-quark symmetry imply novel narrow doubly heavy tetraquark states containing two heavy quarks and two light antiquarks. We predict that double-beauty states will be stable against strong…
In this paper we review the hadroproduction mechanisms of double-charm baryons for the different experimental environments and reinterpret the SELEX and LHCb results.
In this work, we explore a systematic investigation on $S$-wave interactions between a doubly charmed baryon $\Xi_{cc}(3621)$ and a charmed meson in a $T$ doublet $(D_1,\,D_2^*)$. We first analyze the possibility for forming…
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…
For very heavy quarks, the two heavy quarks in a doubly heavy baryon are expected to form a pointlike, heavy diquark in an antitriplet color configuration. In this limit the dynamics of the light degrees of freedom `factorize' from the…
Heavy flavor hadrons, especially doubly heavy baryons and doubly heavy tetraquarks, have always received extensive attention in theoretical and experimental research. Given the separation of quark masses $m_Q \gg m_q$ ($Q = c, b$ and $q =…
We study possible multiquark contributions to the charm baryon spectrum by considering higher order Fock space components. For this purpose we perform two different calculations. In a first approach we do a coupled-channel calculation of…
We review the spectroscopy and some properties of hadrons containing two charmed quarks, or more generally, two heavy quarks. This includes heavy baryons such as $(bcu)$, and possible exotic multiquark states.
The masses of the ground state and excited heavy tetraquarks with hidden charm and bottom are calculated within the relativistic diquark-antidiquark picture. The dynamics of the light quark in a heavy-light diquark is treated completely…
Open charm hadrons are excellent probe to study the dynamics of quarks and gluons inside hadrons. Because the mass of a charm quark is heavier than $\Lambda_{QCD}$, the so called heavy quark symmetry emerges in the hadron containing a charm…
