In recent years, many heavy mesons and charmonia were observed which do not fit in the conventional quark model expectations. Some of them are proposed to be hadronic molecules. Here we investigate the consequences of heavy-quark spin symmetry on these heavy-meson hadronic molecules. Heavy-quark spin symmetry enables us to predict new heavy-meson molecules and provides us with a method to test heavy-meson molecule assumptions of some newly observed states. In particular, we predict an eta_{c};{'}f_{0}(980) bound state as the spin-doublet partner of the Y(4660) proposed as a psi;{'}f_{0}(980) bound state with a mass of 4616_{-6};{+5} MeV and the prominent decay mode eta_{c};{'}pipi. The width is predicted to be Gamma(eta_{c};{'}pipi) = 60 +/- 30 MeV. The pi;{+}pi;{-} invariant mass spectrum and the line shape are calculated. We suggest searching for this state in B;{+/-} --> eta_{c};{'}K;{+/-}pi;{+}pi;{-}, whose branching fraction is expected to be large.

We propose that the X(3915) observed in the J/ψω channel is the same state as the χ(3930), and the X(3960), observed in the DD channel, is an S-wave DD hadronic molecule. In addition, the J=0 component in the B→DDK assigned to the X(3915) in the current Review of Particle Physics has the same origin as the X(3960), which has a mass around 3.94 GeV.

Prediction of a Narrow Exotic Hadronic State with Quantum Numbers J^{PC}=0^{--}.

Phys Rev Lett

Lots of charmonium-like structures have been observed in the last two decades. Most of them have quantum numbers that can be formed by a pair of charm and anticharm quarks, thus it is difficult to unambiguously identify the exotic ones among them. In this Letter, by exploiting heavy quark spin symmetry, we present a robust prediction of the hadronic molecular scenario, where the ψ(4230), ψ(4360) and ψ(4415) are identified as DD[over ¯]_{1}, D^{*}D[over ¯]_{1}, and D^{*}D[over ¯]_{2}^{*} bound states, respectively.

A novel framework is proposed to extract near-threshold resonant states from finite-volume energy levels of lattice QCD and is applied to elucidate structures of the positive parity D_{s}. The quark model, the quark-pair-creation mechanism and D^{(*)}K interaction are incorporated into the Hamiltonian effective field theory. The bare 1^{+} cs[over ¯] states are almost purely given by the states with heavy-quark spin bases.

Recently, the hidden charm tetraquark states Z(3985) and Z(4000) with strangeness were observed by the BESIII and LHCb collaborations, respectively, which are great breakthroughs for exploring exotic quantum chromodynamics (QCD) structures. The first and foremost question is whether they are the same state. In this work, we explore the implications of the narrower state Z(3985) in BESIII and the wider one Z(4000) in LHCb as two different states.

In this work, we investigate the SU(3) flavor symmetry, heavy quark spin symmetry and their breaking effects in the di-meson systems. We prove the existence of the [Formula: see text] , [Formula: see text] , and [Formula: see text] bound states as the consequence of two prerequisites in the SU(3) flavor symmetry and heavy quark spin symmetry. The first prerequisite, the X(3872) as the weakly D‾D/D‾D bound state is supported by its mass and decay branching ratios.
