Abstract
We observe a narrow enhancement near 2m(p) in the invariant mass spectrum of pp pairs from radiative J/psi-->gammapp decays. No similar structure is seen in J/psi-->pi(0)pp decays. The results are based on an analysis of a 58 x 10(6) event sample of J/psi decays accumulated with the BESII detector at the Beijing electron-positron collider. The enhancement can be fit with either an S- or P-wave Breit-Wigner resonance function. In the case of the S-wave fit, the peak mass is below 2m(p) at M=1859(+3)(-10) (stat)+5-25(syst) MeV/c(2) and the total width is Gamma<30 MeV/c(2) at the 90% confidence level. These mass and width values are not consistent with the properties of any known particle.

The hidden-charm pentaquark and tetraquark states

TL;DR: Recently, the LHCb Collaboration discovered two hidden-charm pentaquark states, which are also beyond the quark model as discussed by the authors, and investigated various theoretical interpretations of these candidates of the multiquark states.

Glueballs, Hybrids, Multiquarks. Experimental facts versus QCD inspired concepts

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the meson σ and κ mesons exhibit a spectrum of (squared) masses which are proportional to the sum of orbital angular momentum and radial quantum numbers.

Pentaquark and Tetraquark states

TL;DR: Recently, the LHCb collaboration not only confirmed the existence of the hidden-charm pentaquarks, but also provided strong evidence of the molecular picture as discussed by the authors, where the authors reviewed the experimental and theoretical efforts on the hidden heavy flavor multiquark systems in the past three years.
