We review the existing results on the exotic XYZ states and their decays obtained within the confined covariant quark model. This dynamical approach is based on a non-local Lagrangian of hadrons with quarks, has built-in quark confinement, and is suited well for the description of different multiquark states, including the four quark ones. We focus our analysis on the various decay modes of five exotic states, X ( 3872 ) , Z c ( 3900 ) , Y ( 4260 ) , Z b ( 10610 ) , and Z b ′ ( 10650 ) , aiming to clarify their internal quark structures. By considering mostly branching fractions and decay widths using the molecular-type or the tetraquark-type interpolating currents, conclusions about the nature of these particles are drawn: the molecular structure is favored for Z c ( 3900 ) , Z b ( 10610 ) , and Z b ′ ( 10650 ) and the tetraquark for X ( 3872 ) and Y ( 4260 ) .

AbstractThe exotic states $$X_{0,1}(2900)$$ X 0 , 1 ( 2900 ) with the quark flavor of $$cs\bar{u}\bar{d}$$ c s u ¯ d ¯ are recently observed in the mass spectrum of $$D^+K^-$$ D + K - in $$B^-\rightarrow D^-D^+K^-$$ B - → D - D + K - by the LHCb collaboration. To explore the nature of $$X_{0,1}(2900)$$ X 0 , 1 ( 2900 ) , except for analyzing their masses and decay widths as usually did in literatures, the study of their production mechanism in B-meson weak decays would provide another important information. The amplitude of $$B^-\rightarrow D^- X_{0,1}$$ B - → D - X 0 , 1 is non-factorizable. We consider the final-state-interaction effects and calculate them via the rescattering mechanism. The measured branching fractions of $$B^-\rightarrow D^- X_{0,1}$$ B - → D - X 0 , 1 are revealed. It is manifested by $${B}^-\rightarrow \Lambda _c^-\Xi _c^{(\prime )0}$$ B - → Λ c - Ξ c ( ′ ) 0 and $$\Lambda _b^0\rightarrow P_c^+K^-$$ Λ b 0 → P c + K - that the rescattering mechanism can result in the relatively large branching fractions. The similar processes of $$B^-\rightarrow \pi ^-X_{0,1}$$ B - → π - X 0 , 1 are also analyzed. The isospins of $$X_{0,1}$$ X 0 , 1 can be investigated by $$B\rightarrow DX_{0,1}^{\pm ,0}$$ B → D X 0 , 1 ± , 0 decays.

Motivated by the experiments of heavy flavor physics at running LHC and upgrading SuperKEKB/Belle-II in the future, the nonleptonic [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] weak decays are studied in this paper. The amplitudes are calculated with factorization approach, and the transition form factors [Formula: see text] are evaluated within BSW model. With the reasonable approximation [Formula: see text], our predictions of branching fractions are presented. Numerically, the CKM-favored tree-dominated [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] decays have the largest branching fractions of the order [Formula: see text], and hence will be firstly observed by forthcoming Belle-II experiment. However, most of the other decay modes have the branching fractions [Formula: see text] and thus are hardly to be observed soon. Besides, for the possible detectable [Formula: see text] decays with branching fractions [Formula: see text], some useful ratios, such as [Formula: see text], etc. are presented and discussed in detail.

Using 57.2 pb-1 of data collected with the CLEO-c detector at the ψ(3770) resonance, we measure absolute branching fractions for three D0 and two D+ Cabibbo-allowed hadronic decay modes, and the cross section for [Formula: see text] at [Formula: see text].

Experimental measurements of decay branching fractions of semitaunic and semimuonic [Formula: see text] into [Formula: see text] have challenged the lepton flavor universality in standard models with about two standard deviations. In this paper, we first investigate the unitary constraint on form factors of [Formula: see text] meson into [Formula: see text]-wave and [Formula: see text]-wave charmonium. Such constraint leads to the exploration of the [Formula: see text] and other ratios [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] in a model-independent way. These results together with future experimental measurements can be used to explore the lepton flavor universality in a more systematic way. In addition, we point out that the helicity-dependent ratios [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] can also provide complementary information.

We update the extraction of Vus from hadronic τ decay data in light of recent BaBar and Belle results on the branching fractions of a number of important strange decay modes. A range of sum rule analyses is employed, particular attention being paid to those based on “non-spectral weights”, developed previously to bring the slow convergence of the relevant integrated D = 2 OPE series under improved control. Results from the various sum rules are in good agreement with one another, but ~ 3σ below expectations based on 3-family unitarity.

The chiral quark model posits that pions couple to the axial current of constituent quarks. This chiral pion coupling governs the pion decays of baryon resonances and also implies pion and multipion interactions between the quarks. The qualitative features of this model for the description of pionic decay widths and baryon spectra are outlined. When the covariant quark model wave function for the nucleon is chosen so as to describe the empirical nucleon form factors the pion decay widths of the positive parity resonances are underpredicted. This indicates the presence of significant multiquark components in these resonances.

Hadronic transitions are important decay modes of heavy quarkonia and serve as an elegant probe for the internal structure. Several remarkable discoveries have been made to identify the conventional heavy quarkonia and to extract useful information about the so called “XYZ” exotic states. We studied the hadronic transitions of higher charmonia in the framework of our recently proposed effective model to create light meson(s) in heavy quarkonium transitions. In this contribution, we discuss our results for the charmonium-[Formula: see text] decays of higher [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] wave vector charmonia. We also discuss quantum number [Formula: see text] assignments for few experimentally observed charmoniumlike states.

AbstractMore than ten $$\Omega _c^0$$ Ω c 0 weak decay modes have been measured with the branching fractions relative to that of $$\Omega ^0_c\rightarrow \Omega ^-\pi ^+$$ Ω c 0 → Ω - π + . In order to extract the absolute branching fractions, the study of $$\Omega ^0_c\rightarrow \Omega ^-\pi ^+$$ Ω c 0 → Ω - π + is needed. In this work, we predict $${{\mathcal {B}}}_\pi \equiv {{\mathcal {B}}}(\Omega _c^0\rightarrow \Omega ^-\pi ^+)=(5.1\pm 0.7)\times 10^{-3}$$ B π ≡ B ( Ω c 0 → Ω - π + ) = ( 5.1 ± 0.7 ) × 10 - 3 with the $$\Omega _c^0\rightarrow \Omega ^-$$ Ω c 0 → Ω - transition form factors calculated in the light-front quark model. We also predict $${{\mathcal {B}}}_\rho \equiv {{\mathcal {B}}}(\Omega _c^0\rightarrow \Omega ^-\rho ^+)=(14.4\pm 0.4)\times 10^{-3}$$ B ρ ≡ B ( Ω c 0 → Ω - ρ + ) = ( 14.4 ± 0.4 ) × 10 - 3 and $${{\mathcal {B}}}_e\equiv {{\mathcal {B}}}(\Omega _c^0\rightarrow \Omega ^-e^+\nu _e)=(5.4\pm 0.2)\times 10^{-3}$$ B e ≡ B ( Ω c 0 → Ω - e + ν e ) = ( 5.4 ± 0.2 ) × 10 - 3 . The previous values for $${{\mathcal {B}}}_\rho /{{\mathcal {B}}}_\pi $$ B ρ / B π have been found to deviate from the most recent observation. Nonetheless, our $${{\mathcal {B}}}_\rho /{{\mathcal {B}}}_\pi =2.8\pm 0.4$$ B ρ / B π = 2.8 ± 0.4 is able to alleviate the deviation. Moreover, we obtain $${{\mathcal {B}}}_e/{{\mathcal {B}}}_\pi =1.1\pm 0.2$$ B e / B π = 1.1 ± 0.2 , which is consistent with the current data.

Abstract Using proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1 collected with the LHCb detector, seven decay modes of the $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+} $$ B c + meson into a J/ψ or ψ(2S) meson and three charged hadrons, kaons or pions, are studied. The decays $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+} $$ B c + → (ψ(2S) → J/ψπ+π−)π+, $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+} $$ B c + → ψ(2S)π+π−π+, $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+} $$ B c + → J/ψK+π−π+ and $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+} $$ B c + → J/ψK+K−K+ are observed for the first time, and evidence for the $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+} $$ B c + → ψ(2S)K+K−π+, decay is found, where J/ψ and ψ(2S) mesons are reconstructed in their dimuon decay modes. The ratios of branching fractions between the different $$ {\mathrm{B}}_{\mathrm{c}}^{+} $$ B c + decays are reported as well as the fractions of the decays proceeding via intermediate resonances. The results largely support the factorisation approach used for a theoretical description of the studied decays.
