abstract

In the past decade many charmonium-like states were observed experimentally. Especially those charged charmonium-like $Z_c$ states and bottomonium-like $Z_b$ states can not be accommodated within the naive quark model. These charged $Z_c$ states are good candidates of either the hidden-charm tetraquark states or molecules composed of a pair of charmed mesons. Recently, the LHCb Collaboration discovered two hidden-charm pentaquark states, which are also beyond the quark model. In this work, we review the current experimental progress and investigate various theoretical interpretations of these candidates of the multiquark states. We list the puzzles and theoretical challenges of these models when confronted with the experimental data. We also discuss possible future measurements which may distinguish the theoretical schemes on the underlying structures of the hidden-charm multiquark states.

Proposed mixing between $2P$ and $1F$ wave charmonia

hep-ph · 2026-04-19 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Unquenched calculation finds sizable 2P-1F mixing in charmonium with angles 7.5° and 15.4°, yielding predictions for two-photon and two-gluon decay widths.
