While the charmonium model has been effective in describing ccbar bound mesons, there have been many recently discovered charmonium-like states it cannot accommodate. Here I provide a review of recent results from the B-factories including…
I will report on the recent LHCb results on the evidence for the decay $X(3872)\rightarrow\psi(2S) \gamma$, and on the improved measurement of the mass and width of the $Z(4430)^-$, the determination of its quantum numbers and the…
A new tetra-quark interpretation of X(3872) is presented. In this model, X(3872) consists of two degenerate tetra-quark mesons, {[cn](cbar nbar) +- (cn)[cbar nbar]}_{I=0}, and, therefore, it is naturally understood that X(3872) decays into…
Very recently the BaBar collaboration has put forward a claim that the X(3872) is not a 1^++ resonance, as most of the phenomenological work on the subject was relying on, but rather a 2^-+ one. We examine the consequences of this quantum…
With growing datasets collected by the CDF II experiment, studies of the spectroscopy of mesons containing heavy quarks become more exciting. The CDF experiment has good capabilities in both charm and bottom sector. This capability allowed…
We propose novel triangle relations, not the well-known triangle singularity, for better understanding of the exotic XYZ states. Nine XYZ resonances, X(3872), Y(4230), Zc(3900), X(4012), Y(4360/4390), Zc(4020), X(4274), Y(4660), and…
A brief review of the latest developments in the spectroscopy of heavy quarks is presented. The current status of the recently `discovered' pentaquarks is also discussed.
We suggest that the newly observed resonance Y(4260) is a $\chi_{c}-\rho^0$ molecule, which is an isovector. In this picture, we can easily interpret why $Y(4260)\to \pi^+\pi^-J/\psi$ has a larger rate than $Y(4260)\to D\bar D$ which has…
The newly found states Y(4260), Y(4361), Y(4664) and Z$^\pm$(4430) stir broad interest in the study of spectroscopy in a typical charmonium scale. The Y(4260) which was observed earlier has been interpreted as hybrid, molecular state, and…
We treat the $Y(4260)$ resonance as a four-quark state in the framework of the covariant confining quark model. We study two choices of the interpolating current, either the molecular-type current which effectively corresponds to the…
The molecule and the tetraquark model are the two competing interpretations of the X(3872). I will briefly comment on how far these two pictures are really resolvable by the experiment, and I will give a concise account on a new method for…
I present a brief review of results obtained both in open and hidden charm spectroscopy, discussing the interpretation of $D_{sJ}(2860)$, $D_{sJ}(2700)$ and X(3872).
The observed Y(4260)\to \gamma + X(3872) decay is a natural consequence of the diquark-antidiquark description of Y and X resonances. In this note we attempt an estimate of the transition rate, \Gamma_{\rm rad}, by a non-relativistic…
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…
Assuming X(3872) is a $qc \bar q \bar c$ tetraquark and using its mass as input, we perform a schematic study of the masses of possible heavy tetraquarks using the color-magnetic interaction with the flavor symmetry breaking corrections.
The two exotic $P_c^+(4380)$ and $P_c^+(4450)$ discovered in $2015$ by the LHCb Collaboration, together with the four resonances $X(4140)$, $X(4274)$, $X(4500)$ and $X(4700)$, reported in $2016$ by the same collaboration, are described in a…
We present recent studies of charmonium multiquark states. We use different interacting models and numerical methods to study deeply bound four-quark states and meson-meson molecules. No deeply bound four-quark states are found in our…
The new recently experiments at the B-factories yield a renewed interest in the charm and charmonium spectroscopy. New intriguing states have been observed, which appear to be non-conventional mesons, such as X(3862) and Y(4260) and request…
We discuss how the latest data on X(3872) in B and B_s decays speak about its tetraquark nature. The established decay pattern, including the up to date observations by CMS, are explained by the mixing of two quasi-degenerate, unresolvable,…
I discuss some recent discoveries in the spectroscopy of the charmonium-like resonances, and some of their theoretical interpretations are reviewed.
