The discovery in the last few years of the $X, Y$ and $Z$ states of the extended charmonium family has highlighted the importance of the closeness of decay channels to an understanding of these mesons. We aid this debate by illustrating a simple calculational procedure for including the effect of open and nearby closed channels.

  1. Open-flavor threshold effects on quarkonium spectrum in the BOEFT

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    BOEFT quantifies threshold-induced shifts in quarkonium masses below threshold by solving coupled Schrödinger equations using lattice potentials and one parameter fixed to the χ_c1(3872) mass.

  2. Higher excited charmed and charmed-strange mesons in an unquenched quark model

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Unquenched quark model calculations show coupled-channel effects lower masses of higher D and Ds excitations; D_s1(2933) is assigned as mixed D_s(2P1), D_sJ(3040) favors D_s(3^1S0), while D(3000) fits none of the 3S/2...

  3. Proposed mixing between $2P$ and $1F$ wave charmonia

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Unquenched calculation finds sizable 2P-1F mixing in charmonium with angles 7.5° and 15.4°, yielding predictions for two-photon and two-gluon decay widths.

  4. Hadronic molecules

    hep-ph 2017-04 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Hadronic molecules serve as a framework for certain exotic heavy-quark states where nonrelativistic effective field theories enable predictions with controlled uncertainty.
