Abstract:
The latest years have seen a resurrection of interest in searches for exotic states motivated by tantalising observations by Belle and CDF. Using the data collected at pp collisions at 7 and 8 TeV by the LHCb experiment we present unambiguous observations of exotic charmonia hadrons produced in B decays. Most notably, two pentaquark candidates observed in Lambda_b -> J/psi p K decays are reported.
