We investigate the decay and the production mechanism of the resonance X(1812) recently observed in the $jptogamma X(1812), X(1812)toomegaphi$ at BESII. The decay widths of $X(1812)toetaeta$,$ etaeta$,$ omegaphi$,$ K^+K^-$,$ rho^+rho^-$, $ omegaomega$,$ K^{*+}K^{*-}$ and $pi^+pi^-$ are evaluated based on the scenario of the X(1812) as a candidate of $(ksks)$ molecule. It turns out that the quark exchange mechanism plays an important role in the understanding of the large decay width for the $X(1812)toomegaphi$. It is also found that the decay widths for $X(1812)toetaeta$ and $etaeta$ are enhanced by the quark exchange mechanism. These channels are suggested to be the tools to test the molecular scenario in experiment. The branching fraction of $Br(Xtoomegaphi)$ is evaluated to be about 4.60%. Searches for additional evidence about the X(1812) in $jp$ radiative decays are reviewed. In the molecular scenario, the X(1812) production rate is also evaluated to be $Gamma(jptogamma X)/Gamma(jptogamma K^{*+}K^{*-})=2.13^{+7.41}_{-1.85}$, which is close to the measured value $2.83pm0.92$.
We perform a Faddeev calculation for the three mesons system, $phi K bar{K}$, taking the interaction between two pseudoscalar mesons and between a vector and a pseudoscalar meson from the chiral unitary approach. We obtain a neat resonance peak around a total mass of 2150 MeV and an invariant mass for the $K bar{K}$ system around 970 MeV, very close to the $f_0(980)$ mass. The state appears in I=0 and qualifies as a $phi f_0(980)$ resonance. We enlarge the space of states including $phi pi pi$, since $pi pi$ and $K bar{K}$ build up the $f_0$ (980), and find moderate changes that serve to quantify theoretical uncertainties. No state is seen in I=1. This finding provides a natural explanation for the recent state found at BABAR and BES, the X(2175), which decays into $phi f_0(980)$.
Using the Fixed Center Approximation to Faddeev equations we have investigated the $DKK$ and $DKbar{K}$ three-body systems, considering that the $D^*_{s0}(2317)$ acts as the heavy cluster in both cases, generated from the $DK$ interaction in isospin 0. For the $DKbar{K}$ system we have found evidence of a state with $I(J^P)=1/2(0^-)$ and mass about $2833 - 2858$ MeV, above the threshold of $D^*_{s0}(2317)bar{K}$. Our results indicate that this state is dominated by a $Df_0(980)$ component, then it could be searched for in the $pi pi D$ invariant mass. On the other hand, no clear evidence related to a state from the $DKK$ interaction is found.
Motivated by the recent discovery of the first hidden charm pentaquark state with strangeness $P_{cs}(4459)$ by the LHCb Collaboration, we study the likely existence of a three-body $Sigma_{c}bar{D}bar{K}$ bound state, which shares the same minimal quark content as $P_{cs}(4459)$. The $Sigma_{c}bar{D}$ and $DK$ interactions are determined by reproducing $P_c(4312)$ and $D_{s0}^*(2317)$ as $Sigma_cbar{D}$ and $bar{D}bar{K}$ molecules, respectively, while the $Sigma_cbar{K}$ interaction is constrained by chiral effective theory. We indeed find a three-body bound state by solving the Schrodinger equation using the Gaussian Expansion Method, which can be viewed as an excited hidden charm pentaquark state with strangeness, $P_{cs}^*(4739)$, with $I(J^P)=1(1/2^+)$ and a binding energy of $77.8^{+25}_{-10.3}$ MeV. We further study its strong decays via triangle diagrams and show that its partial decay widths into $DXi_c$ and $D_s^*Sigma_c$ are of a few tens MeV, with the former being dominant.
Using a data sample of 106 million $psi(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector operated at the BEPCII storage ring, we study for the first time the decay $chi_{cJ}tophi K^{0}_S K^{pm}pi^{mp}$ and $chi_{cJ}tophi K^{+} K^{-}pi^{0}$ in the E1 radiative transition $psi(3686)togammachi_{cJ}$. The decays are dominated by the three-body decay $chi_{cJ}to phi K^*(892)bar{K}$. We measure branching fractions for this reaction via the neutral and charged $K^*(892)$ and find them consistent with each other within the expectation of isospin symmetry. In the $Kbar{K}pi$ invariant mass distribution a structure near the $K^*(892)bar{K}$ mass threshold is observed, and the corresponding mass and width are measured to be $1412pm4(mathrm{stat.})pm8(mathrm{sys.}) mathrm{MeV}/c^2$ and $Gamma$ = $84pm12(mathrm{stat.})pm40(mathrm{sys.}) mathrm{MeV}$, respectively. The observed state favors an assignment to the $h_1(1380)$, considering its possible $J^{PC}$ and comparing its mass, width and decay mode to those reported in the Particle Data Group.
In this talk we address two topics: The first one is an empirical explanation in terms of a new state $h_1$ of the peak in the $K^{*0}bar{K}^{*0}$ invariant mass distribution close to threshold of this channel in the $J/psi to eta K^{*0}bar{K}^{*0}$ decay. The second one is a theoretical description of the isospin $I=1$ $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$ states in terms of molecular states of $D bar D^*+ cc$ and $D^* bar D^*$.
