The ${q}\bar{q}$ spectrum is studied within a chiral constituent quark model. It provides with a good fit of the available experimental data from light (vector and pseudoscalar) to heavy mesons including some recent results on charmonium.…
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.
We calculate the spectrum of $q\bar q c \bar c$ and $s\bar s c \bar c$ tetraquarks, where $q$, $s$ and $c$ stand for light ($u,d$), strange and charm quarks, respectively, in a relativized diquark model, characterized by one-gluon-exchange…
In the framework of a nonrelativistic chiral quark model, we continue to study the mass spectra of the fully-heavy $bb\bar{c}\bar{c}$ and $bc\bar{b}\bar{c}$ tetraquarks. In the present calculations, two structures, meson-meson…
The past decade witnessed a remarkable proliferation of exotic charmonium-like resonances discovered at accelerators. In particular, the recently observed charged states are clearly not interpretable as q-qbar mesons. Notwithstanding the…
In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction, we systematically investigate the mass spectrum of the tetraquark states composed of four heavy quarks with the $QQ\bar Q\bar Q$ configuration in this work. We also show their strong decay…
The lowest-lying charmonium-like tetraquarks $c\bar{c}q\bar{q}$ $(q=u,\,d)$ and $c\bar{c}s\bar{s}$, with spin-parity $J^P=0^+$, $1^+$ and $2^+$, and isospin $I=0$ and $1$, are systematically investigated within the theoretical framework of…
In this paper, we adopt an extended relativized quark model to investigate the triply-heavy tetrquarks systematically. The mass spectra are obtained by solving the four-body relativized Hamiltonian including the Coulomb potential, confining…
In this article, we study the mass spectrum of the scalar and axial-vector heavy diquark states with the QCD sum rules in a systematic way. Once the reasonable values are obtained, we can take them as basic parameters and study the new…
We give a review of the calculations of the masses of tetraquarks with two and four heavy quarks in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach and QCD. The diquark-antidiquark picture of heavy…
The models for the internal structure of the newly found four-quark charmonium-like resonance $Z_c(3900)$ are discussed: the molecular model as well as the hadro-charmonium and tetraquark schemes. It is argued that it would be possible to…
I discuss the spectrum of hadrons containing heavy quarks ($b$ or $c$), and how well the experimental results are matched by theoretical ideas. Useful insights come from potential models and applications of Heavy Quark Symmetry and these…
We review the predictions of the quark model for the doubly-heavy tetraquarks $QQ\bar q\bar q$. The possibility of resonances near the $BB^*$ threshold in addition to a deeply bound state is discussed.
The ${q}\bar{q}$ spectrum is studied within a chiral constituent quark model. It provides with a good fit of the available experimental data from light (vector and pseudoscalar) to heavy mesons. The new $D$ states measured at different…
We present new linear relations among the masses of S-wave tetraquarks with either one flavour ($QQ \bar Q \bar Q$) or two ($QQ\bar q \bar q$). Because the relations are sensitive to the hidden-colour, spin, and spatial degrees of freedom,…
The past decade witnessed the observation of several exotic charmonium-like resonances, some of which are manifestly non-qqbar mesons. We review one of the most popular interpretations of such states: the compact tetraquark in the…
There have been numerous developments in hadron spectroscopy over the past year. In this brief review I focus on two general areas. In the first I give an update on hadrons with b-quarks. Their properties are in textbook agreement with QCD…
Energy spectrum of doubly heavy tetraquarks, $T_{QQ}$ ($QQ \bar{q} \bar{q}$ with $Q = c, b$ and $q = u, d, s$), is studied in the potential chiral-diquark model. Using the chiral effective theory of diquarks and the quark-diquark-based…
We analyze the possibility of heavy-light tetraquark bound states by means of a chiral constituent quark model. The study is done in a variational approach. Special attention is paid to the contribution given by the different terms of the…
A novel approach is introduced for obtaining precise solutions of the pairing Hamiltonian for tetraquarks, which utilizes an algebraic technique in infinite dimensions. The parameters involved in the transition phase are calibrated based on…
