In this mini-review I discuss three topics in meson spectroscopy. The production of heavy quarkonium states, S-wave scattering below 1 GeV, and exotic hybrid meson production. This is not intended to be a comprehensive review, just an…
Recent experiments at the LHCb detector have once again raised the possibility that quark bags may exist containing more than three quarks. Specifically the LHCb collaboration points to evidence for hadronic resonances decaying into…
We present the next-to-next-to-next-to-leading ${\cal O}(\alpha_s^5m_q)$ result for the ground state energy of a heavy quarkonium system. On the basis of this result we determine the bottom quark mass from $\Upsilon(1S)$ resonance and…
We estimate the masses of the 1^{--} heavy four-quark and molecule states by combining exponential Laplace (LSR) and finite energy (FESR) sum rules known perturbatively to lowest order (LO) in alpha_s but including non-perturbative terms up…
In this work, we systematically study the mass spectrum of the fully heavy tetraquark in an extended chromomagnetic model, which includes both color and chromomagnetic interactions. Numerical results indicate that the energy level is mainly…
We discuss properties of heavy quarkonium states at high temperatures based on lattice QCD and potential models. We review recent progress made in lattice calculations of spatial static quark anti-quark correlators as well as quarkonium…
I briefly review the history of exotic meson (4-quark) and baryon (5-quark) states, which is rooted in the formalism of Regge pole and duality. There are robust model-independent predictions for the exchange of 4-quark (Baryonium) Regge…
Many charmonium-like and bottomonium-like $XYZ$ resonances have been observed by the Belle, Babar, CLEO and BESIII collaborations in the past decade. They are difficult to fit in the conventional quark model and thus are considered as…
We present a new method to study the properties of heavy quarks at finite temperature. It combines non-relativistic QCD with an improved gluonic action on anisotropic lattices. The efficiency of the approach is demonstrated by the first…
We study the quark mass dependence of $J^P = \frac12^-$ s-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 \simeq $ 500 MeV the…
We improve the pNRQCD approach to annihilation processes of heavy quarkonium and make first pNRQCD predictions for exclusive electromagnetic production of heavy quarkonium. We consider strongly coupled quarkonia, i.e., quarkonia that are…
Recent results on the hadron spectroscopy from lattice QCD are reviewed with emphasis on the meson sector and in particular on quarkonium-like $XYZ$ states. I report on the first rigorous treatment of the near-threshold states $X(3872)$ and…
The hadronization effects induced by various colour connections of the four quark system in $e^{+}e^{-}$ annihilation are briefly reviewed. A special colour connection of four heavy quark system without colour-separation favours the…
An amplitude analysis of the $B^+\to D_s^+ D_s^- K^+$ decay is carried out to study for the first time its intermediate resonant contributions, using proton-proton collision data collected with the LHCb detector at centre-of-mass energies…
In the framework of the relativistic quasipotential quark model the mass spectrum of baryons with two heavy quarks is calculated. The quasipotentials for interactions of two quarks and of a quark with a scalar and axial vector diquark are…
We introduce the hypothesis that diquarks and antidiquarks in tetraquarks are separated by a potential barrier. We show that this notion can answer satisfactorily long standing questions challenging the diquark-antidiquark model of exotic…
We discuss a general theoretical framework for the study of bound states made of two heavy quarks. For states below threshold, the framework has been developed to the level of providing precision studies for several charmonium and…
In this work, we study the radiative decay of heavy quarkonium states by using the effective Lagrangian approach. Firstly, we construct the spin-breaking terms in the effective Lagrangian for the $nP\leftrightarrow mS$ transitions and…
The heavy quarkonium c\bar{c} and b\bar{b} resonances have a rich spectroscopy with numerous narrow S, P, and D-wave levels below the production threshold of open charm and beauty mesons. The mass predictions for these states are an…
In this paper we review recent progress towards understanding the nature of quarkonia in the quark-gluon plasma. We review the theory necessary to understand the melting of bound states due to color-screening, including lattice results for…
