Extending the SU(3) flavour symmetry breaking expansion from up, down and strange sea quark masses to partially quenched valence quark masses allows an extrapolation to the charm quark mass. This approach leads to a determination of charmed…
The nature of resonances and excited states near decay thresholds is encoded in scattering amplitudes, which can be extracted from single-particle and multiparticle correlators in finite volumes. Lattice calculations have only recently…
Identifying a zero-range exchange of vector mesons as the driving force for the s-wave scattering of pseudo-scalar mesons off the baryon ground states, a rich spectrum of molecules is formed. We argue that chiral symmetry and large-$N_c$…
The discovery of $\Xi_{cc}^{++}$ by the LHCb Collaboration triggers predictions of more doubly charmed baryons. By taking into account both the $P$-wave excitations between the two charm quarks and the scattering of light pseudoscalar…
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…
Measurements performed with pairs of charm mesons produced at threshold from the decay of the $\psi(3770)$ resonance are of great value in flavour physics. The quantum correlation that exists between the two mesons allows unique access to…
Charmed dibaryon states with the spin-parity $J^{\pi}=0^+$, $1^+$, and $2^+$are predicted for the two-body $Y_cN$ ($=\Lambda_c$, $\Sigma_c$, or $\Sigma^*_c$) systems. We employ the complex scaling method for the coupled channel Hamiltonian…
Charm meson molecule (c\bar n)(n\bar c) assignments for the supercharmonium state Z(4475) are considered, both on general grounds and in the context of specific pion exchange models. Two possible charm molecule assignments for the JP = 1+,…
The physics of charm has become one of the best laboratories exposing the limitations of the naive constituent quark model and also giving hints into a more mature description of hadron spectroscopy. Recent discoveries are a challenge that…
Inspired by the observations of three $P_c$ states, we systematically investigate interactions between an $S$-wave charmed baryon $\mathcal{B}_{c}^{(*)}=\Lambda_c/\Sigma_c/\Sigma_c^{*}$ and an anticharmed meson $\bar T=\bar D_1/\bar D_2^*$…
Recent experimental results in charm and charmonium spectroscopy are reviewed.
We review selected lattice results on the charmonium spectrum and first attempts to search for the existence of exotic states. The hadro-quarkonium model was proposed to interpret some of the exotic states as a quarkonium core inside a…
The implementation of the heavy quark spin symmetry in possible molecular states at the mixed bottom-charm threshold is somewhat different from that at the open charm or bottom thresholds. In particular it depends on two parameters…
I review the recent $B$-factory measurements of new states which, in some cases, exhibit Charmonium-like properties, and in other cases suggest the existence of a new spectroscopy. Several theoretical interpretations of the new states have…
We elaborate masses of open-charm mesons (c\bar{d} and c\bar{s}) with J^P=0^-,1^-,0^+,1^+ from a viewpoint of ordinary light-heavy systems in the analysis of standard Borel-transformed QCD sum rule. This analysis is implemented with the…
The interactions of $\bar{D}^{(*)} \Lambda_c - \bar{D}^{(*)}\Sigma_c^{(*)}$ are studied within the framework of a dynamical coupled-channel approach. A series of bound states and resonances with different spin and parity are dynamically…
We systematically investigate the $S$-wave interactions between Nambu-Goldstone bosons (NGBs) and charmed mesons in the $(S,I)=(1,0)$ sector using the chiral unitary approach. The scattering amplitudes incorporate both the Weinberg-Tomozawa…
In the two years since HQL02, the long sought $j_{\ell}=1/2$ states have been observed. In the charmed non-strange sector, these states have the expected properties but, in the charmed strange sector, the states have masses below threshold…
In this study, the properties of the $J^{PC}=1^{++}$ hidden charm poles are analyzed under the variation of the bare 2P charmonium mass within the effective field theory proposed in Ref.[1]. The main focus of the current work is on the pole…
The discovery of numerous new charmonium-like structures since 2003 have revitalized interest in exotic meson spectroscopy. These structures do not fit easily into the conventional charmonium model, and proposals like four-quark states,…
