Several states that couple to one light-meson and a heavy-charmonium are recently reported, including the $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$. These states cannot be interpreted within the constituent quark-model of mesons, and are good candidates…
We investigated systematically whether the S-wave ($\bar{Q}q$) meson and the ($Q\bar{q}$) meson may form S-wave bound states in a chiral SU(3) quark model by solving the resonating group method equation. Here $Q=c$ or $b$ and $q=u$, $d$ or…
In this work we evaluate the masses of the $|(b\bar{s})[n]\rangle$ or $|(\bar{b}s)[n]\rangle$ quarkonium ($\bar{B}^{0}_{s}$ or ${B}^{0}_{s}$ meson) under the B.T. potential, and the values of the Schr${\rm \ddot{o}}$dinger radial wave…
We argue that the photon spectra in radiative decays of various heavy quarkonium states provide important information on their nature. If two of these states are in the strong coupling regime, we are able to produce a parameter-free model…
Since nine years experiments have been observing a host of exotic states decaying into heavy quarkonia. The interpretation of most of them still remains uncertain and, in some cases, controversial, notwithstanding a considerable progress…
It is argued that the charged $Z^+_c(3885)$ resonance, treated as a `molecular' state of charmed $D$ and $D^*$ mesons, is likely to consist of two peaks unequally coupled to the $D^{*+} \bar D^0$ and $D^+ \bar D^{*0}$ channels. The peaks…
We study the quark-mass dependence of J^P = \frac12^- s-wave and J^P = \frac32^- d-wave baryon resonances. Parameter-free results are obtained in terms of the leading order chiral Lagrangian. In the 'heavy' SU(3) limit with m_\pi =m_K…
The process AB --> Quarkonium + photon + X, for a heavy quarkonium state such as J/psi or Upsilon, is considered. The ratio of the cross-sections for this process in pp and pp(bar) collisions is shown to be a vary sensitive probe of models…
We present factorization theorems for two exclusive heavy-quarkonium production processes: production of two quarkonia in e^+e^- annihilation and production of a quarkonium and a light meson in B-meson decays. We describe the general proofs…
We propose an explanation of the new resonances observed in $D_s^{(*)+} \pi^0$ decays. We suggest that the data can be explained by the mixing of conventional p-wave excited $D_s^+$ mesons with 4-quark states. The narrow states observed in…
We confirm our previous prediction of a $d^*$ state with $I(J^P)=0(3^+)$ [Phys. Rev. C 60, 045203 (1999)] and report for the first time based on a microscopic calculation that $d^*$ is a hexaquark dominated exotic state as it has about 2/3…
We include two loop, relativistic one loop and second order relativistic tree level corrections, plus leading nonperturbative contributions, to obtain a calculation of the lower states in the heavy quarkonium spectrum correct up to, and…
In recent years data have been accumulated at various experiments about states in the heavy quarkonium mass range that seem to be inconsistent with the most simple variants of the quark model. In this contribution it is demonstrated that…
In this article, we take the tensor currents $\bar{Q}(x)\sigma_{\mu\nu}Q(x)$ to interpolate the $P$-wave spin-singlet heavy quarkonium states $h_Q$, and study the masses and decay constants with the Borel sum rules and moments sum rules.…
A review is presented of past and recent attempts to build multiquark states within current models already describing ordinary mesons and baryons. This includes: coherence in the chromomagnetic interaction, tetraquarks with two heavy…
We evaluate the cross section of the process $e^+e^- \to \gamma X(3872)$ in terms of the content of the $D^{*0} {\bar D}^0$ `molecular' component in the wave function of the resonance X(3872). If this component is dominating, the cross…
The exploration of energies above the open-flavor threshold in the meson spectra has led to the appearance of unexpected states difficult to accommodate in the naive picture of a bound state of a quark and an antiquark. Many of such states…
An overview is given on recent progress in the study of quarkonium spectroscopy at the B-factories. In particular, an updated status report is presented of the long list of "charmonium-like" resonances newly discovered, whose assignment as…
We investigated the four-quark systems with quark structures of $cs\bar{c}\bar{s}$, $cq\bar{c}\bar{s}$, $bs\bar{b}\bar{s}$, and $bq\bar{b}\bar{s}$ in the framework of the non-relativistic quark model, motivated by the recent observation of…
The 125 GeV resonance discovered at the LHC could be a heavy quarkonium pseudoscalar meson. The diagonalization of the mass matrix of the isoscalar quarkonium states $|\zeta>$ and $|\zeta^{0'}>$ produces the states identified with the…
