The past decades witnessed the golden era of hadron physics. Many excited open heavy
flavor mesons and baryons have been observed since 2017. We shall provide an updated …

Since the discovery of the first charmed meson in 1976, many open-charm and open-bottom
hadrons were observed. In 2003 two narrow charm-strange states $ D_ {s0}^{\ast}(2317) …

The B s 0 π±invariant mass distribution is investigated in order to search for possible exotic
meson states. The analysis is based on a data sample recorded with the LHCb detector …

Measurements are presented of the CP violation observables S and C in the decays of B 0
and B¯ 0 mesons to the J/ψ KS 0 final state. The data sample corresponds to an integrated …

We discuss a model-independent estimator of the likelihood of the compositeness of a
shallow S-wave bound or virtual state. The approach is based on an extension of …

Heavy flavour physics provides excellent opportunities to indirectly search for new physics at
very high energy scales and to study hadron properties for deep understanding of the strong …

Semileptonic B meson decays into the four lightest excited charmed meson states (D 0*, D
1*, D 1, and D 2*) and their counterparts with s quarks are investigated, including the full …

Properties of bottom and bottom-strange mesons are computed in two relativized quark
models. Model masses and wave functions are used to predict radiative transition rates, and …

In this paper, we describe the history of the LHCb experiment over the last three decades,
and its remarkable successes and achievements. LHCb was conceived primarily as ab b …

In order to understand the possible qq¯ quark-model assignments of the BJ (5840) and BJ
(5960) recently reported by the LHCb Collaboration, we evaluate mass spectra, strong …
