Description

The last two decades have witnessed the discovery of a myriad of new and unexpected hadrons. Hadron spectroscopy provides direct physical measurements that shed light on the non-perturbative behavior of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) and the new tetraquark and pentaquark states observed by LHCb offer unique insights on the QCD dynamics in hadron structures. In this talk, some of the main experimental findings and theoretical predictions, given before the experimental discoveries, regarding fully charm tetraquarks and pentaquarks, will be presented and discussed.
