Novel approaches in Hadron Spectroscopy

The last two decades have witnessed the discovery of a myriad of new and unexpected hadrons. The future holds more surprises for us, thanks to new-generation experiments. Understanding the signals and determining the properties of the states requires a parallel theoretical effort. To make full use of available and forthcoming data, a careful amplitude modeling is required, together with a sound treatment of the statistical uncertainties, and a systematic survey of the model dependencies. We review the contributions made by the Joint Physics Analysis Center to the field of hadron spectroscopy.

Snowmass white paper: Need for amplitude analysis in the discovery of new hadrons

We highlight the need for the development of comprehensive amplitude analysis methods to further our understanding of hadron spectroscopy. Reaction amplitudes constrained by first principles of $S$-matrix theory and by QCD phenomenology are needed to extract robust interpretations of the data from experiments and from lattice calculations.

On the possible virtual state nature of the LHCb Pc$(4312)^+$ signal

In this contribution we study the nature of the new Pc$(4312)^+$ signal reported by LHCb collaboration in the $J/ψ\,p$ spectrum. We use $S$-matrix principles to perform a minimum-bias analysis of the data, focusing on the analytic properties that can be related to the microscopic origin of the Pc$(4312)^+$ peak. Using the scattering length approximation we find evidence for interpretation of the signal as a virtual state generated by the attractive effect of the $Σ_c^+ \bar{D}^0$ channel opening.
