Light scalar mesons in D^+, D_s^+ decays into three pseudoscalars

L. Maiani, A. D. Polosa, V. Riquer

In response to recent experimental findings from the BES III and LHCb collaborations concerning the decay of open charm mesons into three pseudoscalars, we present evidence suggest…

Open charm tetraquarks in broken SU(3)_F symmetry

L. Maiani, A. D. Polosa, V. Riquer

Prompted by a recent lattice QCD calculation, we review the SU(3) light quark flavor structure of charmed tetraquarks with spin-0 diquarks. Fermi statistics forces the three light…

The Pentaquark Spectrum from Fermi Statistics

Luciano Maiani, Antonio D. Polosa, Veronica Riquer

We study compact hidden charm pentaquarks in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, previously introduced for tetraquarks, assuming the heavy pair to be in a color octet. We show that…

Doubly Heavy Tetraquarks in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation

Luciano Maiani, Alessandro Pilloni, Antonio D. Polosa +1

Tetraquarks QQq*q* are found to be described remarkably well with the Quantum Chromodynamics version of the Hydrogen bond, as treated with the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. We sh…

Substructure of Multiquark Hadrons (Snowmass 2021 White Paper)

Nora Brambilla, Hua-Xing Chen, Angelo Esposito +27

In recent years there has been a rapidly growing body of experimental evidence for existence of exotic, multiquark hadrons, i.e. mesons which contain additional quarks, beyond the…

From the lineshape of the to its structure

Angelo Esposito, Luciano Maiani, Alessandro Pilloni +2

From a study of the lineshape of the , the LHCb collaboration measures a sizeable negative effective range. This cannot be reconciled with a shallow bound sta…
