Heavy quarkonium: progress, puzzles, and opportunities

Nora Brambilla, +69 more
TL;DR: The early years of this period were chronicled in the Quarkonium Working Group (QWG) CERN Yellow Report (YR) in 2004, which presented a comprehensive review of the status of the field at that time and provided specific recommendations for further progress as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Review of particle physics. Particle Data Group

Semen Eidelman, +155 more
- 01 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: The Particle Data Group's biennial review as discussed by the authors summarizes much of Particle Physics using data from previous editions plus new measurements from papers, and evaluate and average measured properties of gauge bosons leptons quarks mesons and baryons.

Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (in "The Review of Particle Properties" 2004)

Brian D. Fields, +1 more
- 29 Jun 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of the current status of cosmological nucleosynthesis is given, where the baryon-to-photon ratio, ε, corresponding to the inferred primordial abundances of helium-4 and lithium-7 is presently 2σ below the value implied by the abundance of deuterium.

Baryons in a relativized quark model with chromodynamics

TL;DR: The three quark system is studied in a relativized version of the quark potential model with chromodynamics and the spectrum of baryons is described with parameters consistent with those of an analogous study of meson spectroscopy.

Rigorous QCD analysis of inclusive annihilation and production of heavy quarkonium

TL;DR: In this paper, a rigorous analysis of the annihilation decay rates of heavy quarkonium states is presented, with coefficients that can be computed using perturbation theory in non-relativistic QCD.
