Abstract
We study the process e +e -→J/ψπ +π - with initial-state-radiation events produced at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy collider. The data were recorded with the BABAR detector at center-of-mass energies 10.58 and 10.54 GeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 454fb -1. We investigate the J/ψπ +π - mass distribution in the region from 3.5 to 5.5GeV/c2. Below 3.7GeV/c2 the ψ(2S) signal dominates, and above 4GeV/c2 there is a significant peak due to the Y(4260). A fit to the data in the range 3.74-5.50GeV/c2 yields a mass value 4245±5(stat)±4(syst)MeV/c2 and a width value 114-15+16(stat) ±7(syst)MeV for this state. We do not confirm the report from the Belle Collaboration of a broad structure at 4.01GeV/c2. In addition, we investigate the π +π - system which results from Y(4260) decay. © 2012 American Physical Society.

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.

Hadronic molecules

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review experimental evidences of various candidates of hadronic molecules, and methods of identifying such structures Nonrelativistic effective field theories are the suitable framework for studying hadronic molecule, and are discussed in both the continuum and finite volumes.

Nonstandard heavy mesons and baryons: Experimental evidence

TL;DR: Recently, a variety of QCD inspired phenomenological models have been proposed, such as meson-gluon hybrids and pentaquark baryons that contain heavy (charm or bottom) quarks as mentioned in this paper.
