Abstract

Search for non-conventional hadron states is one of major physics goals in many experiments in the past 40 years. The claims of penta-quark Theta+ by many experiments around year of 2004 drew great attention but later results with high statistics data didn’t support those claims. In recently, charmonium-like states Zc(3900)/ Zc(4020) observated by BESIII were claimed to be tetra-quark states，Pc(4380)/ Pc(4450) observated by LHCb were claimed to be penta-quark ) states. In addition, WASA also claimed the discovery of d*(2380) as a dibaryon state (hex-quark state). I would like to give a global review and discussion on those discoveries and also a bit more details on the observation of charmonium-like neutral Zc via open DD* and D*D*.
