We perform a detailed analysis of flavour changing neutral current processes in the charm sector in the context of 331 models. As pointed out recently, in the case of $Z^prime$ contributions in these models there are no new free parameters beyond those already present in the $B_{d,s}$ and $K$ meson systems analyzed in the past. As a result, definite ranges for new Physics (NP) effects in various charm observables could be obtained. While generally NP effects turn out to be small, in a number of observables they are much larger than the tiny effects predicted within the Standard Model. In particular we find that the branching ratio of the mode $D^0 to mu^+ mu^-$, despite remaining tiny, can be enhanced by 6 orders of magnitude with respect to the SM. We work out correlations between this mode and rare $B_{d,s}$ and $K$ decays. We also discuss neutral charm meson oscillations and CP violation in the charm system. In particular, we point out that 331 models provide new weak phases that are a necessary condition to have non-vanishing CP asymmetries. In the case of $Delta A_{CP}$, the difference between the CP asymmetries in $D^0 to K^+ K^-$ and $D^0 to pi^+ pi^-$, we find that agreement with experiment can be obtained provided that two conditions are verified: the phases in the ranges predicted in 331 models and large hadronic matrix elements.

Motivated by the recent findings that the ratio $varepsilon/varepsilon$ in the Standard Model (SM) appears to be significantly below the data we investigate whether the necessary enhancement of this ratio can be obtained in 331 models, in which new physics (NP) contributions to $varepsilon/varepsilon$ and other flavour observables are dominated by tree-level exchanges of a $Z^prime$. NP contributions to $varepsilon/varepsilon$ in these models are governed by the electroweak operator $Q_8$ for which the hadronic matrix element is rather well known so that our analysis of NP contributions is subject to much smaller uncertainties than within the SM. We consider seven 331 models selected in our earlier analysis on the basis of electroweak precision data. Imposing the constraints from $Delta F=2$ transitions we find that only three of these models can provide a significant positive shift in $varepsilon/varepsilon$ up to $6times 10^{-4}$ for $M_{Z^prime}=3$ TeV. Two of them allow simultaneously a supression of ${cal B}(B_{s}to mu^+mu^-)$ by $20%$, bringing the theory closer to the data without any significant impact on the Wilson coefficient $C_9$. The third one provides also the shift $Delta C_9=-0.6$, softening the anomalies in $Bto K^*mu^+mu^-$, without any significant impact on $B_{s}to mu^+mu^-$. NP effects in rare $K$ decays and in $Bto K(K^*) ubar u$ turn out to be small. The flavour structure of 331 models implies that even for $M_{Z^prime}=30$ Tev a shift of $varepsilon/varepsilon$ up to $8times 10^{-4}$ and a significant shift in $varepsilon_K$ can be obtained, while the effects in other flavour observables are small.
With the spin rearrangement, we have performed a comprehensive investigation of the decay patterns of the S-wave tetraquarks and P-wave tetraquarks where the P-wave excitation exists either between the diquark and anti-diquark pair or inside the diquark. Especially, we compare the decay patterns of $Y(4260)$ with different inner structures such as the conventional charmonium, the molecule, the P-wave tetraquark and the hybrid charmonium. We notice the $J/psi pipi$ mode is suppressed in the heavy quark symmetry limit if $Y(4260)$ is a molecular state. Moreover the hybrid charmonium and hidden-charm tetraquark have very similar decay patterns. Both of them decay into the $J/psi pipi$ and open charm modes easily. We also discuss the decay patterns of $X(3872)$, $Y(4360)$, and several charged states such as $Z_c(4020)$. The $h_cpi^{pm}$ decay mode disfavors the tetraquark assumption of $Z_c(4020)$.
On March 26th, 2019, at the Rencontres de Moriond QCD conference, the LHCb Collaboration reported the observation of three new pentaquarks, namely $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$, which are consistent with the loosely bound molecular hidden-charm pentaquark states composed of an S-wave charmed baryon $Sigma_c$ and an S-wave anti-charmed meson ($bar{D}, bar{D}^*$). In this work, we present a direct calculation by the one-boson-exchange (OBE) model and demonstrate explicitly that the $P_c(4312)$, $P_c(4440)$ and $P_c(4457)$ do correspond to the loosely bound $Sigma_cbar{D}$ with $(I=1/2,J^P=1/2^-)$, $Sigma_cbar{D}^*$ with $(I=1/2,J^P=1/2^-)$ and $Sigma_cbar{D}^*$ with $(I=1/2,J^P=3/2^-)$, respectively.
The Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism is extremely efficient to suppress the flavour-changing neutral current decays of charmed hadrons induced by the $c to u$ transitions, making such processes particularly sensitive to phenomena beyond the Standard Model. In particular, $c to u$ decays with a neutrino pair in the final state are theoretically appealing due to the small long-distance contributions. Moreover, in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), the $SU(2)_L$ invariance allows to relate the Wilson coefficients in the effective Hamiltonian governing the $c to u u {bar u}$ decays to the coefficients in the $c to u ell^+ ell^-$ Hamiltonian. We analyze the $B_c to B^{(*)+} u {bar u}$ decays, for which branching fractions of at most ${cal O}(10^{-16})$ are predicted in the Standard Model including short- and long-distance contributions, so small that they can be considered as null tests. Using SMEFT and the relation to the $c to u ell^+ ell^-$ processes we study the largest enhancement achievable in generic new physics scenarios. Then we focus on a particular extension of the Standard Model, the 331 model. SMEFT relations and the connection with $c to u ell^+ ell^-$ imply that ${cal B}(B_c to B^{(*)+} u {bar u})$ could even reach ${cal O}(10^{-6})$, an extremely large enhancement. A less pronounced effect is found in the 331 model, with ${cal O}(10^{-11})$ predicted branching fractions. Within the 331 model correlations exist among the $B_c to B^{(*)+} u bar u$ and $Kto pi u bar u$, $Bto (X_s, K, K^*) u bar u$ channels.
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported three $P_c$ states in the ${J/psi}p$ channel. We systematically study the mass spectrum of the hidden charm pentaquark in the framework of an extended chromomagnetic model. For the $nnncbar{c}$ pentaquark with $I=1/2$, we find that (i) the lowest state is $P_{c}(4327.0,1/2,1/2^{-})$ [We use $P_{c}(m,I,J^{P})$ to denote the $nnncbar{c}$ pentaquark], which corresponds to the $P_{c}(4312)$. Its dominant decay mode is $Lambda_{c}bar{D}^{*}$. (ii) We find two states in the vicinity of $P_{c}(4380)$. The first one is $P_{c}(4367.4,1/2,3/2^{-})$ and decays dominantly to $N{J/psi}$ and $Lambda_{c}bar{D}^{*}$. The other one is $P_{c}(4372.4,1/2,1/2^{-})$. Its dominant decay mode is $Lambda_{c}bar{D}$, and its partial decay width of $Neta_{c}$ channel is comparable to that of $N{J/psi}$. (iii) In higher mass region, we find $P_{c}(4476.3,1/2,3/2^{-})$ and $P_{c}(4480.9,1/2,1/2^{-})$, which correspond to $P_{c}(4440)$ and $P_{c}(4457)$. In the open charm channels, both of them decay dominantly to the $Lambda_{c}bar{D}^{*}$. (iv) We predict two states above $4.5~text{GeV}$, namely $P_{c}(4524.5,1/2,3/2^{-})$ and $P_{c}(4546.0,1/2,5/2^{-})$. The masses of the $nnncbar{c}$ state with $I=3/2$ are all over $4.6~text{GeV}$. Moreover, we use the model to explore the $nnscbar{c}$, $ssncbar{c}$ and $ssscbar{c}$ pentaquark states.
