The hidden-charm pentaquark and tetraquark states
In the past decade many charmonium-like states were observed experimentally.
Especially those charged charmonium-like states and bottomonium-like
states can not be accommodated within the naive quark model. These
charged states are good candidates of either the hidden-charm tetraquark
states or molecules composed of a pair of charmed mesons. Recently, the LHCb
Collaboration discovered two hidden-charm pentaquark states, which are also
beyond the quark model. In this work, we review the current experimental
progress and investigate various theoretical interpretations of these
candidates of the multiquark states. We list the puzzles and theoretical
challenges of these models when confronted with the experimental data. We also
discuss possible future measurements which may distinguish the theoretical
schemes on the underlying structures of the hidden-charm multiquark states.Comment: Review accepted by Physics Reports, 152 pages, 66 figures, and 29

Establishing low-lying doubly charmed baryons
We systematically study the -wave doubly charmed baryons using the method
of QCD sum rules. Our results suggest that the recently
observed by LHCb can be well identified as the -wave state of
. We study its relevant state, whose mass is
predicted to be around 3.7 GeV. We also systematically study the -wave
doubly charmed baryons, whose masses are predicted to be around 4.1 GeV.
Especially, there can be several excited doubly charmed baryons in this energy
region, and we suggest to search for them in order to study the fine structure
of the strong interaction.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, 1 table; A mistake was found when evaluating

Doubly hidden-charm/bottom tetraquark states
We study the mass spectra for the and
tetraquark states by developing a moment sum rule method. Our results show that
the tetraquarks lie below the threshold of
. They are probably stable and very narrow. The masses
for the doubly hidden-charm states are higher than the
spontaneous dissociation thresholds of two charmonium mesons. We suggest to
search for such states in the and
channels.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures. More references added. Conference proceedings for

Open-flavor charmed/bottom and tetraquark states
We provide comprehensive investigations for the mass spectrum of exotic
open-flavor charmed/bottom , , , tetraquark states with various spin-parity assignments
and in the framework of QCD sum rules. In the
diquark configuration, we construct the diquark-antidiquark interpolating
tetraquark currents using the color-antisymmetric scalar and axial-vector
diquark fields. The stable mass sum rules are established in reasonable
parameter working ranges, which are used to give reliable mass predictions for
these tetraquark states. We obtain the mass spectra for the open-flavor
charmed/bottom , , , tetraquark states with various spin-parity quantum numbers. In
addition, we suggest searching for exotic doubly-charged tetraquarks, such as
in future experiments at facilities
such as BESIII, BelleII, PANDA, LHCb and CMS, etc.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures, 5 tables, accepted by Phys. Rev. D (in press
