In this work, we study the mass spectrum of the $Omega_{ccc}$ and $Omega_{bbb}$ baryons up to the $N=2$ shell within a nonrelativistic constituent quark model (NRCQM). The model parameters are adopted from the determinations by fitting the charmonium
and bottomonium spectra in our previous works. The masses of the $Omega_{ccc}$ and $Omega_{bbb}$ baryon states predicted in present work reasonably agree with the results obtained with the Lattice QCD calculations. Furthermore, to provide more knowledge of the $Omega_{ccc}$ and $Omega_{bbb}$ states, we evaluate their radiative decays with the available masses and wave functions from the potential model.
Combining the recent developments of the observations of $Omega$ sates we calculate the $Omega$ spectrum up to the $N=2$ shell within a nonrelativistic constituent quark potential model. Furthermore, the strong and radiative decay properties for the
$Omega$ resonances within the $N=2$ shell are evaluated by using the masses and wave functions obtained from the potential model. It is found that the newly observed $Omega(2012)$ resonance is most likely to be the spin-parity $J^P=3/2^-$ $1P$-wave state $Omega(1^{2}P_{3/2^{-}})$, it also has a large potential to be observed in the $Omega(1672)gamma$ channel. Our calculation shows that the 1$P$-, 1$D$-, and 2$S$-wave $Omega$ baryons have a relatively narrow decay width of less than 50 MeV. Based on the obtained decay properties and mass spectrum, we further suggest optimum channels and mass regions to find the missing $Omega$ resonances via the strong and/or radiative decay processes.
Inspired by the new resonance $Y(10750)$, we calculate the masses and two-body OZI-allowed strong decays of the higher vector bottomonium sates within both screened and linear potential models. We discuss the possibilities of $Upsilon(10860)$ and $Y(
10750)$ as mixed states via the $S-D$ mixing. Our results suggest that $Y(10750)$ and $Upsilon(10860)$ might be explained as mixed states between $5S$- and $4D$-wave vector $bbar{b}$ states. The $Y(10750)$ and $Upsilon(10860)$ resonances may correspond to the mixed states dominated by the $4D$- and $5S$-wave components, respectively. The mass and the strong decay behaviors of the $Upsilon(11020)$ resonance are consistent with the assignment of the $Upsilon(6S)$ state in the potential models.
In this work we study the mass spectra of the fully-heavy tetraquark systems, i.e. $ccbar{c}bar{c}$, $bbbar{b}bar{b}$, $bbbar{c}bar{c}/ccbar{b}bar{b}$, $bcbar{c}bar{c}/ccbar{b}bar{c}$, $bcbar{b}bar{b}/bbbar{b}bar{c}$, and $bcbar{b}bar{c}$, within a p
otential model by including the linear confining potential, Coulomb potential, and spin-spin interactions. It shows that the linear confining potential has important contributions to the masses and is crucial for our understanding of the mass spectra of the fully-heavy tetraquark systems. For the fully-heavy tetraquarks $Q_1Q_2bar{Q}_3bar{Q}_4$ our explicit calculations suggest that no bound states can be formed below the thresholds of any meson pairs $(Q_1bar{Q}_3)$-$(Q_2bar{Q}_4)$ or $(Q_1bar{Q}_4)$-$(Q_2bar{Q}_3)$. Thus, we do not expect narrow fully-heavy tetraquark states to be existing in experiments.
Stimulated by the newly discovered $Omega(2012)$ resonance at Belle II, in this work we have studied the OZI allowed strong decays of the low-lying $1P$- and $1D$-wave $Omega$ baryons within the $^3P_0$ model. It is found that $Omega(2012)$ is most l
ikely to be a $1P$-wave $Omega$ state with $J^P=3/2^-$. We also find that the $Omega(2250)$ state could be assigned as a $1D$-wave state with $J^P=5/2^+$. The other missing $1P$- and $1D$-wave $Omega$ baryons may have large potentials to be observed in their main decay channels.
The strong decays of the $P$-wave $Sigma_b$, $Xi_b$ and $Omega_b$ baryons are investigated with a constituent quark model in the $j$-$j$ coupling scheme. The results show that the newly observed $Sigma_b(6097)$ and $Xi_b(6227)$ states by the LHCb col
laboration can be assigned as the $lambda$-mode $P$-wave singly bottom baryons. Given the heavy quark symmetry, both the $Sigma_b(6097)$ and $Xi_b(6227)$ states favor the light spin $j=2$ states with spin-parity numbers $J^P=3/2^-$ or $J^P=5/2^-$. More $P$-wave singly bottom baryons are most likely to be observed in future experiments for their relatively narrow width.
The open-charm strong decays of higher charmonium states up to the mass of the $6P$ multiplet are systematically studied in the $^3P_0$ model. The wave functions of the initial charmonium states are calculated in the linear potential (LP) and screene
d potential (SP) quark model. The decay widths for most of the well-established charmonium states above the open-charm thresholds can be reasonably described. By comparing our quark model calculations with the experimental observations we also discuss the nature of some of the newly observed charmonium-like states. It is found that (i) the $psi(4415)$ may favor the $psi(4S)$ or $psi_1(3D)$ assignment. There may exist two highly overlapping vector charmonium states around 4.4 GeV; (ii) In the LP model the $J^{PC}=1^{--}$ $Y(4660)$ resonance and the $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ $X(4500)$ resonance may be assigned as the $psi(5S)$ and $chi_{c0}(4P)$, respectively; (iii) The newly observed state $X^*(3860)$ can be assigned as the $chi_{c0}(2P)$ state with a narrow width of about $30$ MeV; (iv) It seems to be difficult to accommodate the $X(4140)$ and $X(4274)$ states in the same potential model as excited $chi_{c1}$ states. (v) The $X(3940)$ resonance can be assigned as the $eta_c(3S)$ state; (vi) The vector charmonium-like states $Y(4230/4260,4360)$ and scalar $X(4700)$ cannot be described by any conventional charmonium states self-consistently in our model.
