Studying properties of exotic particles
The LHCb Collaboration has published today a paper which shows that the f0(500) and the f0(980) mesons, long thought to be four quark states (tetraquarks) made out of the light…
Unambiguous observation of an exotic particle which cannot be classified within the traditional quark model
The LHCb Collaboration has published yesterday results of precise measurements of properties of the Z(4430)– particle which allow to determine unambiguously its exotic nature. In the traditional quark model, the…

How long can beauty and charm live together?
In the Standard Model of Particle Physics the strongly interacting particles (hadrons) are composed of three quarks (baryons) or quark-antiquark pairs (mesons). There are six types of quarks, three light:…
New charm results
The LHCb Collaboration has reported recently new important results on charm physics. (1) Ten months ago, the LHCb Collaboration presented the first observation of the D0-D0 oscillations
