RESUMEN
We discuss recent lattice data for the T_{cc}(3875)^{+} state to stress, for the first time, a potentially strong impact of left-hand cuts from the one-pion exchange on the pole extraction for near-threshold exotic states. In particular, if the left-hand cut is located close to the two-particle threshold, which happens naturally in the DD^{*} system for the pion mass exceeding its physical value, the effective-range expansion is valid only in a very limited energy range up to the cut and as such is of little use to reliably extract the poles. Then, an accurate extraction of the pole locations requires the one-pion exchange to be implemented explicitly into the scattering amplitudes. Our findings are general and potentially relevant for a wide class of hadronic near-threshold states.
RESUMEN
Recently, the LHCb Collaboration reported pronounced structures in the invariant mass spectrum of J/ψ pairs produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. In this Letter, we argue that the data can be very well described within two variants of a coupled-channel approach employing T matrices consistent with unitarity: (i) with just two channels, J/ψJ/ψ and ψ(2S)J/ψ, as long as energy-dependent interactions in these channels are allowed, or (ii) with three channels J/ψJ/ψ, ψ(2S)J/ψ, and ψ(3770)J/ψ with just constant contact interactions. Both formulations hint at the existence of a near-threshold state in the J/ψJ/ψ system with the quantum numbers J^{PC}=0^{++} or 2^{++}, which we refer to as X(6200). We suggest experimental tests to check the existence of this state and discuss what additional channels need to be studied experimentally to allow for distinctive tests between the two mechanisms proposed. If the molecular nature of X(6200), as hinted by the three-channel approach, is confirmed, many other double-quarkonium states should exist driven by the same binding mechanism. In particular, there should be an η_{c}η_{c} molecule with a similar binding energy.

RESUMEN
Three hidden-charm pentaquark P_{c} states, P_{c}(4312), P_{c}(4440), and P_{c}(4457) were revealed in the Λ_{b}^{0}âJ/ψpK^{-} process measured by LHCb using both run I and run II data. Their nature is under lively discussion, and their quantum numbers have not been determined. We analyze the J/ψp invariant mass distributions under the assumption that the crossed-channel effects provide a smooth background. For the first time, such an analysis is performed employing a coupled-channel formalism with the scattering potential involving both one-pion exchange as well as short-range operators constrained by heavy quark spin symmetry. We find that the data can be well described in the hadronic molecular picture, which predicts seven Σ_{c}^{(*)}D[over ¯]^{(*)} molecular states in two spin multiplets, such that the P_{c}(4312) is mainly a Σ_{c}D[over ¯] bound state with J^{P}=1/2^{-}, while P_{c}(4440) and P_{c}(4457) are Σ_{c}D[over ¯]^{*} bound states with quantum numbers 3/2^{-} and 1/2^{-}, respectively. We also show that there is evidence for a narrow Σ_{c}^{*}D[over ¯] bound state in the data which we call P_{c}(4380), different from the broad one reported by LHCb in 2015. With this state included, all predicted Σ_{c}D[over ¯], Σ_{c}^{*}D[over ¯], and Σ_{c}D[over ¯]^{*} hadronic molecules are seen in the data, while the missing three Σ_{c}^{*}D[over ¯]^{*} states are expected to be found in future runs of the LHC or in photoproduction experiments.
RESUMEN
In a recent measurement LHCb reported pronounced structures in the J/ψJ/ψ spectrum. One of the various possible explanations of those is that they emerge from non-perturbative interactions of vector charmonia. It is thus important to understand whether it is possible to form a bound state of two charmonia interacting through the exchange of gluons, which hadronise into two pions at the longest distance. In this paper, we demonstrate that, given our current understanding of hadron-hadron interactions, the exchange of correlated light mesons (pions and kaons) is able to provide sizeable attraction to the di-J/ψ system, and it is possible for two J/ψ mesons to form a bound state. As a side result we find from an analysis of the data for the ψ(2S)âJ/ψππ transition including both ππ and KK¯ final state interactions an improved value for the ψ(2S)âJ/ψ transition chromo-electric polarisability: |αψ(2S)J/ψ|=(1.8±0.1)GeV-3, where the uncertainty also includes the one induced by the final state interactions.
