A narrow pentaquark state, $P_c(4312)^+$, decaying to $J/\psi p$ is discovered with a statistical significance of $7.3\sigma$ in a data sample of ${\Lambda_b^0\to J/\psi p K^-}$ decays which is an order of magnitude larger than that previously analyzed by the LHCb collaboration. The $P_c(4450)^+$ pentaquark structure formerly reported by LHCb is confirmed and observed to consist of two narrow overlapping peaks, $P_c(4440)^+$ and $P_c(4457)^+$, where the statistical significance of this two-peak interpretation is $5.4\sigma$. Proximity of the $\Sigma_c^+\bar{D}^{0}$ and $\Sigma_c^+\bar{D}^{*0}$ thresholds to the observed narrow peaks suggests that they play an important role in the dynamics of these states.

Analysis of the $D_0^*(2300)$ resonance from lattice QCD under chiral symmetry
hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0
Chiral symmetry corrections in lattice QCD fits shift the D0*(2300) resonance pole closer to the Dπ threshold and reduce its width, while coupled channels produce a two-pole structure.

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.

Predictions for the scalar partner of the LHC tetraquark $X(6600)$
hep-ph 2026-05 accept novelty 6.0
The paper predicts a scalar cc-ccbar tetraquark state (X(6400)) and identifies it as the partner to the recently observed tensor state X(6600).

Coupled-channel study of the three-body $DDK$ and $D^{*}D^{*}K$
hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0
The DDK system supports a deeply bound compact state across wide parameters and possibly a shallow three-body halo state near the D-DK threshold, with negligible D*D*K coupling and no resonances.

Enhanced evidence of $X(7200)$ and improved measurements of $X(6900)$ parameters from a combined LHCb-ATLAS-CMS analysis
hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0
Simultaneous fits to LHCb-ATLAS-CMS data raise X(7200) evidence to 3.7–6.6σ (best 6.6σ) while confirming X(6900) at >12σ with improved mass and width precision.
