Multiquark resonances are undoubtedly experimentally observed. The number of states and the amount of details on their properties has been growing over the years. It is very recent the discovery of two pentaquarks and the confirmation of four tetraquarks, two of which had not been observed before. We mainly review the theoretical understanding of this sector of particle physics phenomenology and present some considerations attempting a coherent description of the so called X and Z resonances. The prominent problems plaguing theoretical models, like the absence of selection rules limiting the number of states predicted, motivate new directions in model building. Data are reviewed going through all of the observed resonances with particular attention to their common features and the purpose of providing a starting point to further research.

  1. Analysis of the $D_0^*(2300)$ resonance from lattice QCD under chiral symmetry

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Chiral symmetry corrections in lattice QCD fits shift the D0*(2300) resonance pole closer to the Dπ threshold and reduce its width, while coupled channels produce a two-pole structure.

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Electromagnetic moments of Σ-type pentaquarks are computed via light-cone sum rules, yielding flavor-sensitive magnetic dipoles, quadrupoles, and octupoles that distinguish diquark types and rule out S-wave molecules.

  3. Model-independent mass determination of near-threshold states from short-range production

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A model-independent minimum in short-range production rates of dimer-spectator systems allows precise mass extraction for near-threshold states via a fixed relation to the observed dip position.

  4. Deciphering the nature of $P^{\Sigma}_{\psi s}$ pentaquarks in the light of their electromagnetic multipole moments

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    QCD light-cone sum rules computation of magnetic dipole, electric quadrupole, and magnetic octupole moments for Σ-type P_ψs pentaquarks, with quark-flavor decomposition and model discriminants.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The authors compute mass spectra, rearrangement decays, and Regge trajectories for cs s-bar s-bar tetraquarks modeled as axial [cs][s-bar s-bar] systems in a Cornell potential framework with Ds threshold inputs.

  6. Determination of the $Z_c(3900)$ and the $Z_{cs}(3985)$ states from joint analysis of experimental and lattice data

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Joint analysis of experimental and lattice data confirms Z_c(3900) and Z_cs(3985) as SU(3) flavor partners with pole masses (3879.6 ± 4.8) MeV and (3976.9 ± 5.1) MeV, half-widths (32.2 ± 4.7) MeV and (28.8 ± 5.9) MeV,...

  7. Coupled-channel study of the three-body $DDK$ and $D^{*}D^{*}K$

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The DDK system supports a deeply bound compact state across wide parameters and possibly a shallow three-body halo state near the D-DK threshold, with negligible D*D*K coupling and no resonances.

  8. All-charm tetraquarks at hadron colliders: A high-precision fragmentation perspective

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0
