abstract

We present a new dynamical picture that identifies the formation of the exotic $\bar c c$-containing states $XY \! Z$ with the confinement-induced hadronization of a rapidly separating pair of a compact diquark and antidiquark. This picture combines the advantages of diquark-based models, which can accommodate much of the known $XY \! Z$ spectrum, with the experimental fact that such states are both relatively narrow and are produced promptly. It also naturally explains the preference of some of the exotic states to decay to $\psi(2S)$, rather than $J/\psi$, in terms of a simple wave-function overlap effect.

  1. $\lambda$, $\rho$, and $\sigma$ Regge trajectories for the quadruply heavy pentaquark $bb\bar{u}cc$ in the diquark-triquark picture

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 4.5

    Regge relations for bbūcc in the diquark-triquark picture give four trajectory series with M∼x^{2/3} or √x behavior plus spin-averaged mass estimates for λ, ρ1, ρ2 and σ excitations.

  2. $\lambda$, $\rho$, and $\sigma$ Regge trajectories for the hexaquark ${(\bar{u}(cc))(b(\bar{b}\bar{b}))}$ in the triquark-antitriquark picture

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Derives λ, ρ1, ρ2, σ1, and σ2 Regge trajectories for the hexaquark (ū(cc))(b(b̄b̄)) in the triquark-antitriquark picture, showing substructure is required for most series and giving rough mass estimates for excited states.
