Pentaquarks and doubly heavy exotic mesons

  • 1. Raymond and Beverly Sackler School of Physics and Astronomy Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv (Israel)

Description

I discuss the experimental evidence for and theoretical interpretation of the new mesons and baryons with two heavy quarks. These include doubly-heavy baryons, exotic hadronic quarkonia and most recently a manifestly exotic pentaquark-like doubly heavy baryon with a minimal quark content uudc̄ discovered by LHCb, whose mass, decay mode and width are in agreement with a prediction based on a physical picture of a deuteron-like Σc* "hadronic molecule".
