We consider the interplay of a quark state and a hadronic threshold in the framework of the P-matrix formalism, which is reviewed and extended for use together with conventional methods of computing quark-gluon dynamics. We provide a…
Since 2003, plenty of resonant structures have been observed in the heavy quarkonium regime. Many of them are close to the thresholds of a few pairs of heavy hadrons. They are candidates of exotic hadrons and have attracted immense…
We demonstrate that the recently observed $X$, $Y$, $Z$ states cannot be purely from kinematic effect. Especially the narrow near-threshold structures in elastic channels call for nearby poles of the $S$-matrix which are qualified as…
Tremendous progress has been made experimentally in the hadron spectrum containing heavy quarks in the last two decades. It is surprising that many resonant structures are around thresholds of a pair of heavy hadrons. There should be a…
We investigate the interplay of quark and meson degrees of freedom in a physical state representing a near-threshold resonance for the case of a single continuum channel. We demonstrate that such a near-threshold resonance may possess quite…
We investigate the interplay of quark and meson degrees of freedom in a physical state representing a near-threshold resonance for the case of multiple continuum channels. The aim is to demonstrate the full complexity of near-threshold…
The question of how one can distinguish quark model states from 2-hadron states near an S-wave theshold is discussed, and the usefulness of the running mass is emphasized as the meeting ground for experiment and theory and for defining…
We study the behavior of the cusp structures focusing on the isospin symmetry breaking effects. The properties of the exotic hadrons are reflected in the shape of the cusp structures. In realistic hadron scatterings, the threshold energies…
We discuss the isospin-breaking effects on threshold cusp structures in multichannel scattering near two-body thresholds. In hadronic systems with isospin symmetry, two or more nearly degenerate thresholds can appear, and their small…
We demonstrate how an effective density of states can be derived from the S-matrix describing a coupled-channel system. Besides the locations of poles, the phase of the determinant of the S-matrix encodes essential details in characterizing…
Numerous quarkonium(like) states lying near $S$-wave thresholds are observed experimentally. We propose a self-consistent approach to these near-threshold states compatible with unitarity and analyticity. The underlying coupled-channel…
We study the behavior of the cusp structures focusing on the isospin-breaking effects. The properties of the near-threshold exotic hadrons are encoded in the shapes of the cusp structures. In hadron scattering, it is often the case that the…
Recently there has been considerable interest in the subject of molecules, which are weakly bound states of hadron pairs. The question of the existence of molecules is closely related to the more general problem of the determination of low…
The influence of a two-hadron threshold is studied for the hadron mass scaling with respect to some quantum chromodynamics parameters. A quantum mechanical model is introduced to describe the system with a one-body bare state coupled with a…
We propose a model-independent analysis of near-threshold enhancements using independent S-matrix poles. In this formulation, we constructed a Jost function with controllable zeros to ensure that no poles are generated on the physical…
We present a neat example of a meson--baryon system where the vicinity of two different thresholds enhances the binding of a hadronic resonance, a pentaquark. As a consequence the pattern of states may change when moving among different…
We discuss in general terms pole trajectories of resonances coupling to a continuum channel as some strength parameter is varied. It is demonstrated that, regardless the underlying dynamics, the trajectories of poles that couple to the…
A general appearance of two-pole structures is exhibited in a relativistic Friedrichs-Lee model combined with a relativistic quark pair creation model in a consistent manner. This kind of two-pole structure could be found when a $q\bar q$…
Motivated by the existence of candidates for exotic hadrons whose masses are close to both of two-body and three-body hadronic thresholds lying close to each other, we study degenerate two-body and three-body coupled-channel systems. We…
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…
