Multiquark states in the covariant quark confinement model    [PDF]

Mikhail A. Ivanov

This talk reviews the last applications of the covariant quark model for studying the properties of the multiquark states: B_s-meson (quark-antiquark state), light baryons (three-quark states) and tetraquark (four-quark state). The form factors of the B(B_s)-> P(V)-transitions are evaluated in the full kinematical region of momentum transfer squared. The widths of some B_s-nonleptonic decays are calculated. The static properties of the proton and neutron, and the \Lambda-hyperon (magnetic moments and charge radii) and the behavior of the nucleon form factors at low momentum transfers are described. The consequences of treating the X(3872) meson as a tetraquark bound state are explored. The decay widths of the observed channels X->J/\psi+2\pi (3\pi) and X-> \bar D^0 + D^0+\pi^0 via the intermediate off--shell states X-> J/\psi+\rho(\omega) and X-> \bar D + D^* are calculated. Its one-photon decay X-> \gamma+ J/\psi is also analyzed.
