Scores of exotic hadrons, particularly tetraquarks and pentaquarks in the heavy-quark sector, have been observed in the past 20 years, and more continue to be discovered to this day. Unlike mesons and baryons, such exotics are not mandated to exist under our current understanding of QCD, meaning that each new discovery presents fresh insights into the expansive possibilities of strong-interaction physics. Even the basic architecture of these multiquark states remains an open question. Here we discuss the merits and deficiencies of their best-known dynamical descriptions, recognizing that the eventual universal model for exotics will almost certainly require the synthesis of more than one fundamental paradigm.

  1. Diffusion Monte Carlo study of deuteron-like fully light hexaquarks

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Within the AL1 constituent-quark model, compact uuuddd hexaquarks lie well above baryon–baryon thresholds while dibaryon-like states are near-threshold molecular candidates, one deuteron-like but unbound by ~12 MeV.

  2. $\boldsymbol{\chi_{c1}}(3872)$ and its Partners in the Diabatic Born-Oppenheimer Approximation for QCD

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    χ_c1(3872) is treated as a bound state in adjoint-meson Born-Oppenheimer potentials within a diabatic model, with calculated spin splittings and decay widths for its multiplet and bottom analogs after tuning to threshold.
