In the framework of the modified chromo-magnetic interaction model, we perform a systematical study on the mass spectrums of the ground pentaquark states with $qqqqbar{Q}$, $qqqQbar{q}$, $QQQQbar{q}$, $QQQQbar{Q}$, and $QQQqbar{Q}$, $(Q=c,b; q=n,s; n=u,d)$ configurations. The isospin-color-spin wave functions satisfying Pauli principle for each type of ground pentaquark states are constructed. With the help of experimental data, we estimate their possible mass spectrums in two different schemes. Based on our results, we present a detailed analysis on the mass spectrums and decay behaviors for the discussed pentquark states. We hope that our study will be helpful to experimentally search for such types of the exotic pentaquark states in the future.
In the framework of the color-magnetic interaction model, we have systematically calculated the mass splittings for the S-wave triply heavy pentaquark states with the configuration $qqQQbar{Q}$ $(Q=c,b;q=u,d,s)$. Their masses are estimated and their stabilities are discussed according to possible rearrangement decay patterns. Our results indicate that there may exist several stable or narrow such states. We hope the present study can help experimentalists to search for exotic pentaquarks.
The past seventeen years have witnessed tremendous progress on the experimental and theoretical explorations of the multiquark states. The hidden-charm and hidden-bottom multiquark systems were reviewed extensively in [Phys. Rept. 639 (2016) 1-121]. In this article, we shall update the experimental and theoretical efforts on the hidden heavy flavor multiquark systems in the past three years. Especially the LHCb collaboration not only confirmed the existence of the hidden-charm pentaquarks but also provided strong evidence of the molecular picture. Besides the well-known $XYZ$ and $P_c$ states, we shall discuss more interesting tetraquark and pentaquark systems either with one, two, three or even four heavy quarks. Some very intriguing states include the fully heavy exotic tetraquark states $QQbar Qbar Q$ and doubly heavy tetraquark states $QQbar q bar q$, where $Q$ is a heavy quark. The $QQbar Qbar Q$ states may be produced at LHC while the $QQbar q bar q$ system may be searched for at BelleII and LHCb. Moreover, we shall pay special attention to various theoretical schemes. We shall emphasize the model-independent predictions of various models which are truly/closely related to Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). There have also accumulated many lattice QCD simulations through multiple channel scattering on the lattice in recent years, which provide deep insights into the underlying structure/dynamics of the $XYZ$ states. In terms of the recent $P_c$ states, the lattice simulations of the charmed baryon and anti-charmed meson scattering are badly needed. We shall also discuss some important states which may be searched for at BESIII, BelleII and LHCb in the coming years.
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 candidates of exotic hadrons, such as multi-quark states, meson molecules, and hybrids. In this talk, we first briefly introduce the method of QCD sum rules and then provide a short review of the mass spectra of the quarkonium-like tetraquark states and the heavy quarkonium hybrids in the QCD sum rules approach. Possible interpretations of the $XYZ$ resonances are briefly discussed.
In this short review we present and discuss all the experimental information about the charged exotic charmonium states, which have been observed over the last five years. We try to understand their properties such as masses and decay widths with QCD sum rules. We describe this method, show the results and compare them with the experimental data and with other theoretical approaches.
Doubly heavy tetraquark $(QQbar qbar q)$ states are the prime candidates of tightly bound exotic systems and weakly decaying. In the framework of the improved chromomagnetic interaction (ICMI) model, we complete a systematic study on the mass spectra of the $S$-wave doubly heavy tetraquark states $QQbar{q}bar{q}$ ($q=u, d, s$ and $Q=c, b$) with different quantum numbers $J^P=0^+$, $1^+$, and $2^+$. The parameters in the ICMI model are extracted by fitting the conventional hadron spectra and used directly to predict the masses of tetraquark states. For heavy quarks, the uncertainties of the parameters are acquired by comparing the masses of doubly (triply) heavy baryons with these given by lattice QCD, QCD sum rule, and potential models. Several compact and stable bound states are found in both charm and bottom tetraquark sectors. The predicted mass of $ccbar ubar d$ state is compatible with the recent result of the LHCb collaboration.
