Abstract:
The quark model has been applied very successfully in describing the mesons and baryons and their properties. It is known that all the established mesons are made of a quark and an antiquark, while baryons are composed of three quarks. In principle, hadrons composed with more than three valence quarks are not prohibited by the fundamental theory of strong interactions, namely the so-called QCD. In this talk I'll examine the status of the multi-quark hadrons, including tetraquark mesons, pentaquark baryons and hexaquark states. I will also explain why the quark model often encounters a great challenge in understanding p-wave scalar mesons and p-wave baryons.
