- Discussion on the implications for QCD binding mechanisms

## Abstract

The field of exotic spectroscopy is extremely rich and productive. Several observations and searches for pentaquark states have been performed in the last 4 years, starting from the LHCb observation in 2015. This is still quite a recent discovery, and possibly the beginning of a new era in both observation of new states and understanding of the QCD binding mechanisms. The most recent results from LHCb and Belle are presented regarding measurements and searches for charm, strange and beauty pentaquarks, along with an introduction on phenomenology of multiquark states.
