Four-Quark Hadrons: an Updated Review
read the original abstract
The past decade witnessed a remarkable proliferation of exotic charmonium-like resonances discovered at accelerators. In particular, the recently observed charged states are clearly not interpretable as q-qbar mesons. Notwithstanding the considerable advances on the experimental side, conflicting theoretical descriptions do not seem to provide a definitive picture about the nature of the so-called XYZ particles. We present here a comprehensive review about this intriguing topic, discussing both those experimental and theoretical aspects which we consider relevant to make further progress in the field. At this state of progress, XYZ phenomenology speaks in favour of the existence of compact four-quark particles (tetraquarks) and we believe that realizing this instructs us in the quest for a firm theoretical framework.

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

A comparative study of $T_{cc}$ versus $X(3872)$ production in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 7 TeV
Simulations reveal substantial differences in transverse momentum spectra between compact T_cc tetraquarks formed at partonic level and molecular X(3872) states formed at hadronic level, plus production asymmetry and ...
