This review presents an overview of the remarkable progress in the field of heavy-quark exotic hadrons over the past 15 years. It seeks to be pedagogical rather than exhaustive, summarizing both the progress and specific results of…
A basic understanding of the relevant features of hadron properties from first principles QCD has remained elusive, and should be understood as emergent phenomena which depend critically on the number of dimensions of physical spacetime.…
In connection with recent discoveries of heavy-quark containing exotic states publications discussing $Qq$ diquarks ($Q,q$ stand for a heavy and light quarks, respectively) proliferated in the literature. After a brief summary of the…
We investigate the possibilities of using measurements in present and future experiments on heavy ion collisions to answer some longstanding problems in hadronic physics, namely identifying hadronic molecular states and exotic hadrons with…
A brief review is given of the lattice QCD calculation of the hadron spectrum. The status of current attempts toward inclusion of dynamical up, down and strange quarks is summarized focusing on our own work. Recent work on the possible…
One possible interpretation of two narrow $\Omega^0_c$ states reported by the LHCb Collaboration at CERN in 2017 is that they are pentaquarks belonging to a $\overline{\boldsymbol{15}}$ exotic SU(3) representation, as predicted by the…
New data of narrow low mass unflavoured mesonic structures are presented. A table of these exotic masses is obtained adding previously published data. The mass sequence shows a significant coupling of some of these clusters with stable…
I discuss several novel and unexpected aspects of quantum chromodynamics. These include: (a) the nonperturbative origin of intrinsic strange, charm and bottom quarks in the nucleon at large light-cone momenta x; the breakdown of pQCD…
Lattice QCD results on hadrons with heavy quarks are briefly reviewed. The focus is on the spectrum of conventional and exotic hadrons. Structure of certain conventional hadrons is addressed as well.
I give a summary of Section E of the seventh edition of the Conference ''Quark confinement and the hadron spectrum". Papers were presented on different subjects, from spectroscopy, including pentaquarks and hadron structure, to the quest…
The generalization of the Feynman-Hellmann theorem for resonance states in quantum field theory is derived. On the basis of this theorem, a criterion is proposed to study the possible exotic nature of certain hadronic states emerging in…
We explain a method to find internal quark configurations of exotic hadron candidates by using the constituent counting rule. The counting rule was theoretically predicted in perturbative QCD for hard exclusive hadron reactions, and it has…
Pentaquarks and dibaryons are natural possibilities if diquarks are used as the building blocks to assemble hadrons. In this short note, motivated by the very recent discovery of two pentaquark states, we highlight some possible channels to…
We present a new dynamical picture that identifies the formation of the exotic $\bar c c$-containing states $XY \! Z$ with the confinement-induced hadronization of a rapidly separating pair of a compact diquark and antidiquark. This picture…
Baryons of the type Qqqqq-bar (where Q = c,b and q = u,d,s quarks) forming anti-decapenta (15)-plets with spin-parity one half-plus are predicted on simple theoretical considerations. The lightest members of these multiplets are explicitly…
Models based on chiral symmetry predict pentaquarks that have relatively low masses. We briefly review both theoretical and experimental status of exotica in the light sector. Next, shall show how to extend chiral models to baryons with one…
We employ the chiral quark-soliton model to describe excited baryons with one heavy quark. Identifying known charmed baryons with multiplets allowed by the model, we argue that apart from regular excitations of the ground state multiplets,…
Van der Waals potentials describing interactions between color-singlet mesons and/or baryons vanish at leading order in potential nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics (pNRQCD). This result and constraints from Gauss's law are used to…
The possible existence of higher multi-quark flavor multiplets of baryons is investigated. We argue that the S-matrix should have poles with any quantum numbers, including those which are exotic. This argument provides a novel justification…
We review selected lattice results on the charmonium spectrum and first attempts to search for the existence of exotic states. The hadro-quarkonium model was proposed to interpret some of the exotic states as a quarkonium core inside a…
